Paige made her way first to the Engine Room once she got off the shuttlepod, if the ship was really in that much hurry to get out of spacedock, there would be time for pleasantries later. Plus she had already met the new acting XO.

She did stop long enough to drop her duffel in the small room that had been designed for the Chief Engineer’s use. Based on the dust patterns on the floor it looked like it had only been recently cleaned out, leaving a small desk and a chair against one wall. She’d have to worry about that later though.

Next stop was the warp core. Paige stepped right up to the core and gingerly laid her hand on it for a second, feeling the thrum of the powerful engine for the first time. They would have plenty of time to get to know each other, but for now there was work to do.

“Alright, so whose gonna bring the new girl up to speed on the ship,” Paige said loud enough for everyone in the engine room to hear as she turned to face them.

Lt. Paige Garrison - CE
