Leaning forwards in an almost perfect imitation of Calloways pose, he also looked at the core a moment before turning his head to take in the woman beside him. “Your a long way from Kansas” he told the science blue woman beside him with an ever so slight grin. “Dont you be bringing any twisters In here though, it could be a little hard to explain and nobody got no time for that.”

Her brows lifted as she frowned slightly. “Kansas? Twisters? I feel like I’m missing a reference here.”

“Oh your missing much more than that if you never saw that old movie” the Engineer grinned a little wider. “Its a classic, but the special effects might be a little dated.”

She snorted. “I grew up on a tiny colony in the DMZ. We didn’t watch anything, unless it was things growing or our backs,” Calloway said with a smirk.

He turned and faced her fully, his arms still resting on the railing. “I’m Max, Chief Engineer of the Manhattan. Can I help you at all or are you just admiring the view?”

Lt Cmdr Max Wynter, CE

“A bit of column a, a bit of column b,” she replied, before offering him her hand. “Faye Calloway, Mission Specialist. I just came aboard and am doing the rounds with the people my work will inevitably affect,” Faye said simply.

“Now that sounds ominous” Max remarked as he stood up straight and pushed himself off the railing. Taking her hand warmly he shook it, noting the woman seemed relaxed. Then, he turned so his back was to the core and leant on the railing, crossing his arms but leaning towards her slightly showing that he wasn’t closing himself off.

“Could be,” she said frankly.

“What kind of work do you do Faye?” He asked her simply and straight forward. Am I going to need to pre practise a whole bunch of excuses as to why we shouldn’t inject sciencey object A into my warp core to create unknowns effect E=mc3?” While his tone was deadpan, the slight smirk at the edge of his mouth and the look in his eyes betrayed the tease.

She laughed lightly and shifted so her hip was resting on the rail. “Nah, promise I won’t touch your warp core. The computer cores on the other hand, I can’t make promises about. I’m the new data specialist. My job will be to evaluate our security protocols and basically take them apart and put them back together to be all pretty and shiny and effective out here in the wilderness of the Delta Quadrant. Encryption, decryption, I’m your gal. But, with that comes some experimental work and there’s a good chance some of it might blow the local relays on Deck 13. Luckily, I’ve got my own computer core, so I won’t messing too much with the Main computer, but once I’ve done all the minor testing on the smaller core, I will have to test it on the real deal. So… I apologize in advance and promise to help with the cleanup. I am rated at Level 3 in Engineering system, after all.” She was matter-of-fact about it all, but there was a small amount of humour in her tone.
