An unexpected overload had hit one of the consoles in Engineering. It was nothing too violent, a few sparks, but it was still enough to phase the Ensign who had previously been working at the stations.

Charles was kneeling next to it, access panel open. He squinted, looked around stroking his facial hair,

“I am impressed, the Federation designed fuses actually held for this once.” he commented.

Looking up at his colleague, he added a small laugh, “That is just a joke we have in small ship repair. Besides, you are a strong officer, you would have outlived their failure.”

Leaning in closer to get a better look inside, Charles began searching for a cause. Tool in hand, he began the standard procedure of ‘look around until you find something off’

“Should we… Shouldn’t we tell Ens- I mean, Acting Chief Engineer Ynuchausti?” the other Ensign suggested.
