Baumann made his way to Engineering, a chip in his pocket and a form in his hand. Walking in, he saw the swirl of activity normally associated with the place kicked up to eleven. He grabbed the arm of a passing tech and said “The Chief Engineer. Where are they?” and the tech waved in a somewhat general direction and walked off. Baumann walked on, and soon found the engineer deep in the inner bowels of a piece of the ship.

“Mr. Bohannon!” he called and waited for a response.

Bohannon was working on the warp engine and head his name called. Looking down from the controls (think Trip and the Enterprise) he responded, “Someone called my name?”

Bohannon

Baumann looked up and said “Indeed, Mr. Bohannon. If you have a moment, I’d like to speak with you in private?”

Baumann, Intel

Bohannon told the NE Ensign next to him to continue working on the warp engine and then he walked down the stairs. After finding a quiet place (if there is such a thing on a Starship) and asked, “What can I do for you sir?”

Bohannon

Baumann got right down to business. “Duringvthe refit and repair, some of the VIP spaces are going to be converted for use by myself and my department.” and he handed the Engineer a set of schematics. “Power draw calculations, routing, structural and access designs, and mass and weight of incoming equipment. Most equipment I have no issue with yourself and the ships Engineers reviewing, but there will be some that is classified. In those cases, I will do my best to ensure that you and your team have what information I can provide.” and the big German took a breath. “I do not want to cause you any difficulties, Mr. Bohannon. So I am trying to give as much information as early as I can.”

Baumann, Intel

Bohannon looked at the officer and asked, “and just who authorized this upgrades and changes? Most of the power output needed has to be cleared through engineering and I was not made aware of ANY of these changes. No, sir, we might have to speak to the Captain about all this.”

Bohannon

“If you review the schematics provided, I believe you will find the approval comes from Fleet Engineering. But I am happy to discuss the issue with you and the Captain both. As I said, I don’t wish to make this harder than it needs to be. Shall we?” and he extended his arm, indicating the way out.

Baumann, Intel

Not knowing what to think Bohannon led the way out of engineering and towards the bridge.

Bohannon

Baumann remained silent as they left, and when they reached the lift he allowed the CE to enter first. He also allowed him to exit onto the bridge first as well. When they got to the Ready Room door, Baumann pressed the chime and simply looked at the door, his face calm and composed.

Ari called out from inside. “COME!” She was in her chair, one leg curled under her. Her boots, as usual, were under her seat. She had iced tea in one hand, a PaDD in the other. As the door opened, she rose and set the Padd down. “Lieutenant Bohannon, Commander Baumann… how can I help you?” She offered them to sit around the table she was at.

Baumann sat and said “Thank you, Captain. Mr. Bohannon and I would like to discuss the new schematics for the Intel office, if you have the time.”

Baumann, Intel

“Certainly,” she motioned to the serving corner and headed for it. “Anyone want some ice tea or water? I have apple juice as well. Or I can send for something else if you wish.” She moved to refill her own glass as she waited for their wishes.

Her back to them, she spoke half over her shoulder. “Was there a problem? Or changes that needed to be made?”
