Sha’ow turns the family photo to a slight angle so he can see it with minimal glare from the light shining from the LCARS display.“Yes, yes much better.” He purrs, “Not perfect but better. And better is good.” His whiskers twitch slightly.
Backing out of his bunk he stands to his full 4‘8” height and lets out a yawn with large stretch arms high.
“Okay, okay, okay, time to go, time to go.” He mutters to himself as he adjusts his comm badge and checks his pip for the twelfth time since unpacking his bag.
With PaDD under his arm he makes his way to main engineering stopping at a few displays admiring the colours and flashing lights.
“So much brighter than in the holodeck.” He muses.
It doesn’t take long dispute his short legs to make it to main engineering, the Quarter master was right the billeting on deck 40 was nice and close to main engineering. “Very efficient.”
Main engineering was humming, it was a welcoming hum like an old song or the sound of water cascading down rocks. His ears dance picking up unique sounds of conduits, power cells and dull hum of the warp core.
Reaching up he presses the door bell to the chief engineers office.
He straightens his pip again.

“Come in!” a voice said and the door slid open. The Chief Engineer’s office was unlike any other office on the ship. Instead of being closed off or with windows looking out into space, this one was quite opposite. The entire back wall was transparent aluminum, offering the lead Engineer an uninterrupted view of the whole of the engineering bay. Along the top of the walls was a linear display that scrolled various systems readings and the occasional notification. The other walls held various odds and ends set on shelves; mementos, perhaps, of the past of the office ‘s lone occupant.
The occupant was… large. Even sitting down, the figure was impressive. His uniform moved as muscles beneath the fabric rippled and moved. His bald, green head made it clear his lineage stretched back to that far flung haven of criminals and con artists: Orion. While it wasn’t unheard of to have an Orion in Star Fleet, it certainly wasn’t common. The man looked up as the door opened, and emerald-colored eyes latched onto the new arrival. “Yes, Ensign? Can I help you?”

Sha’ow enters the office… No wait, reception room? The room was massive. The window even bigger. The humanoid sat the desk even bigger still. Sha’ow froze for a moment. His diminutive frame dwarfed by everything the room.
He gives a gentle cough.
“Ensign Sha’ow, reporting for duty as is required by Starfleet for new… New commissions. I am of course an engineer, why else would I be here, what a silly thing to say.” His tail swishes with embarrassment.
“He are my credentials, all in order. I promise… Sir.”

The Orion stood up and smiled. “Ensign, it’s a pleasure! I’m Commander Daggum Hammor, Chief Engineer. Please… relax. Come in and take a seat. Would you like something to drink?” he asked as he moved to a replicator built into the left wall.
