Aaron strolled into main engineering looking rather disturbed, carrying a large duffle bag and a large composite backpack. He looked around as he entered looking from someone to help him. Calder was talk his firm forearms exposed by his rolled up sleeves. He was an odd site in yellow security tunic black tactical pants with enough pockets to store his own tool kit, with enough medical pouches and packs at his waist to service a small disaster team. “Could I get a hand?” he asked.

Navale was passing through the main bay and looked up. She didn’t paused, just walked right over and took a handful of items off the man. She was used to seeing people carry everything they owned on them at all times, or hoarding so much in a run that it was falling off them like leaves in the fall. That was at home though, where resources were scarce and you fought for each item that might or might not help you. It was an odd sight on a star ship. “How can I help you Lt?”

He look at his hands, then at her and smiled. “Calder”, he responded.

“Well my Grav locks for my climbing tent is failing and I don’t know why, I test them in the holodeck make sure they are working” he noted. “I do a lot of free climbing on my off time and like to make sure the gear is sold so” he paused. “Well so I don’t die a horrible death.” he noted.

“Huzzen. And you’re in luck,” she smiled and started walking toward a side door. “Small machine diagnostics is my specialty. We’ll get it looked at.” She keyed the door and stepped into a small machine room. Full of tools and gadgets on tables that were in various states of repair or disassembly. She moved toward a table on the far right and set his gear down. She reached into a drawer and pulled out a rolled up canvas bundle. “Want to pull the tent out, and I’ll take a look.”

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

Calder smiled, she was at least entertaining, his life on the Chimera was full of noise, hurry up and wait and tones of getting shot at. “Sure” he said, “Just press the two grave locks against the wall and press green button.”

Huzzen moves some things around and grabs the grave locks and presses them against the wall and hits the green button and then removes her hands.

The locked hummed to life filling the room with its dull sound the small one man tent expanded and hung on the wall. “It works great till you actually get in it” he said pushing down on the edge, the hum became broken as he tried to climb in and then. Pop it came of the wall. Calder caught the tent, “Fine in here but when i’m 300 feet up a cliff not so much.” he smiled

Navale stared intently at the tent, her brows drawing together making the etching’s on her forehead more pronounced. She flipped open a tricorder and reset the tent. “Push down on the tent again?” she asked as she ran the tricorder over the two antigrav pieces to make sure they were actually engaged correctly before he tried to ‘enter’ the tent again.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

Aaron smiled as he thought of several inapproprait comments, he had been around marines to long. “Like this?” he said puting a little weight on the unit, much more and it would break lose. The read out showed the field around the joiners was faltering slightly.

Navale nodded, “Yes, just like that.” She studied the scans. She scanned both anchors and then hummed softly. “Thank you,” she set the tricorder down. “You can lett go.” She reached over and pulled the tent down and removed the anchors and with deft fingers opened them to show the inner working parts. “Hmmm I think the joiners have worn down.” She popped them out and set them on a diagnostic scanner to get a look at the physical and mechanical integrity.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

Calder smiled, “good I was worried i might fall and look like and idiot” he said smirking .”So how long have you been on the Ogawa?” he asked, he liked engineers they had clear minds normaly, got to the point, and always seemed to know how to have fun.

“Nah, I’d catch you, and can’t fall too far in here…though,” she glanced around at the mess, “should probably straighten up in here.” Navale set the pieces down and started removing parts and grabbing little pieces that looked shiney and new. “Hmmm… about a year?” Her nose wrinkled as she stared at the device and carefully placed the smaller pieces in place. “Yeah almost a year. Doesn’t feel that long.”

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

“I bet you would” he smirked in response to her catching him. “Strong hands working over all this machinery I imagine” he looked around at the mess. “Mmm guessing you know where everything is right?” he noted. “hmm Year how do you like it, to be honest I miss my friends , and, well my friends” he noted

“Mmmm… more like quick reflexes. Got to be read to dodge out of the way of sparking relays or catch the tiny things that roll off the table before they disappear between cracks in the bulkheads.” She was clearly distracted by what she was doing and not paying attention. A heart beat, two, and then three.

If Navale had been drinking she would have spewed it all over the work bench. She laughed and shook her head, “Wonderful, I just stuck my foot in it didn’t I?” The engineer looked over at him and laughed, “I didn’t mean that the way it sounded, or at least…I don’t think I did.” She laughed again, clearly not afraid to laugh at herself. She looked around at the mess. “Mostly. I’m not the only one who uses this space. We engineers are notoriously messy.”

The back of the stabilizer snapped into the place as she paused. “I like it. It’s different from my last posting. I miss my friends too, but I’ve made new ones. And there are always new people coming through, and I enjoy meeting them.” She cracked open the second stabilizer and working on replacing those parts.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

Calder smirked. “Well at least there is someone around her that likes to play a little, life is to short to be all stuffy.” he laughed leaning around to smile at her which was a mistake “CRACK BBBBBBSSZZZ” the locks failed and so did he, the small cot fell as did he, right into Huzzen, sending them both to the ground.

She was quick. The parts were quickly moved out of the way and her hands grabbed his arms to steady him, but they fell anyway. The breath was knocked out of her with a “Huuuf,” and the back of her head hit the deck plating.

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

“uhh” he muffled sitting up on his arms, “Are you ok?” he asked while still laying on top of her, he was more worried about her head that where he was currently positioned.

Her eyes were slightly dialted before she squinted them shut against the throbbing. “Hit my head. Bulk heads are hard.”

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

Aron moved to the side and stood holding out his hand while pulling a nearby stool and helping her too it. “Lets have a look” he said pulling out his tricorder, activating it he let it sweep across her head will he checked her eyes for signs of a concussion.
