Posted by Crewman Eldorin Asam (Engineering Officer) in A small ship
Humans always had a place in Eldorin’s heart. They were such a young species, both in how new they were to traveling the stars and their overall development as a society. It hadn’t been too long since they had so recently blown each other to smithereens in a world ending war the likes of which their planet hadn’t seen. Not that El-Auria was a peaceful one, he was in exile and had been for over 100 years on Earth because of it, but the violence and war on his home world didn’t result in Armageddon, it didn’t cause lasting health and ecological disasters, it was a more civilized brutality. With that, one might expect Eldorin to have a near Vulcan level of contempt for the humans, however he absolutely loved them. He had lived through the years leading up to WW3 and beyond, he had raised a family, he had lost his son, and yet he didn’t blame humanity for that.

He had joined Starfleet under the guise of a regular human wanting to be a crewman, wanting to experience those days working as he had back in the 1970’s and 1980’s as a mechanic on the primitive vehicles of the day. And now he was onboard a starship once more, poised to keep the bearings greased as he used to say. He approached Engineering and looked up at the warp engine, such a human design, utilitarian yet beautiful in a way before he sought out the small square shaped room located on the port side of the engine room on deck F where he knocked politely before opening the door, “Chief?”

–Eldorin Asam, Engineering–

The door opened abruptly and amid sized man with short dark curly hair backed out of the office bearing a long, if slim crate. On the other side of said crate was a slightly taller figure, trim with straw colored hair that one would swear at first glance to be unruly. Blue eyes were keen as they looked past the first figure. “Watch your step, Galen,” he said. “Easy does it.” Both bore regular seaman noncom rankings.

An accented voice came from behind them. “Straight on into the machine shop. Ensign Serinde will find you a place for that.” As they passed he emerged, an older dark skinned man, bald with a wide face and matching mouth. Seeing Eldorin there he looked him over and said, “Good, you’re not the new Chief. Expected anytime. It’s been a while since we’ve had a Chief that this office has been more storage than anything. Just cleaning it out for her. Lt Green, acting Chief, usually prefers his cabin or be mobile than use an office.” He stuck out a hand. “I’m SCPO Seifu. Off duty I’m Bekele. Welcome aboard. You are?”

He stepped aside to let Galen and the other crewman back in. Most by the look of it had been removed. “I’d direct you to Lt Green but he’s at the shuttle pods awaiting the Chief’s pod to dock.”
