The doors to the Saracen’s Engineering department opened in front of him, and Dante paused a moment as he surveyed the bustle of activity coming from the heart of his ship. Yellow shirted Engineers scurried about their duties, watched by the obligatory Red Shirts that were assigned Security Detail to the room like big brother watching over them.

Dante stepped through the doors and allowed them to close behind him as a pair of NE’s walked past with PaDD’s, intense expressions and using techno babble that he was pretty sure was gibberish and invented by some ultra secret Engineers Guild to make them sound intelligent. That brought a small smirk to his face that he quickly covered by taking a sip of the oversized cup of coffee in his hand that went with him everywhere, emblazoned by writing on the side that read Best Father in the Universe with a hand drawn caricature of a small child and big lizard next to it.

“If I was a Chief Engineer, where would I be?” He said to himself while his eyes wandered over the various ladders and ducts that made up the walls of Main Engineering. Finally, not spotting who he was looking for he simply turned for the Office off to the side, hitting the chime on the outside and leaning against the wall watching the activity.
