The transporter swirled to life moments after the communication had been received that the new Chief Engineer was arriving. As the lights coalesced and the hum of the pad quieted, the transporter officer looked up and smiled at the figure on the transporter pad. The figure, though, was not smiling. Transporter travel left them feeling nauseated due to their unique connection to space-time.

At a few inches over six feet and well-muscled, the figure would have been the poster figure for an human… except for the large forehead and web-like pattern of ridges crossing it from ear to ear. Standing there in the red Star Fleet uniform with Lieutenant Junior Grade rank, the individual was steadying themself, as if they were sea-sick. “Lieutenant Junior Grade Riss Ch’ethyniq. New Chief Engineer. I would like to drop off my bags and go see the Captain, if everything is in order?” he asked as he approached the transporter control console. The Ensign looked concerned, but Riss smiled slightly and said “Relax, Ensign. You did a fine. Transport makes my head feel like it’s being spun in six different directions at once, is all.” and he winked and picked up his bag and walked to the door and out.

A young Ensign in gold with a plaid sash pinned to her left shoulder and tucked into the small of her back, a PaDD hanging from a strap across her shoulders, and a communicator clipped to her belt stepped off the access ladder onto the deck, took a breath and stepped toward the Lt. “Lt Riss Ch’ethyniq welcome aboard. I apologize for the delay. The lifts are down, again.” She held out her hand, “En Rand, Cpt’s yeoman.” If she was phased by his appearance it didn’t show. She was far too well trained for that, and she had seen the basic personnel file after all. She was admittedly curious though. She had never met a K’normian before and Rand was always eager to learn about new people and their people. However right now her job was to welcome him on board and provide whatever assistance he needed. She lifted the PaDD and held it out with a stylus. “Confirmation of arrival and this data disk.” She held up an orange one. “Last CE left it for you, and aked me to deliver it.”

Riss signed the PaDD and took the disk. “Thank you.”

“Would you like to see your quarters first? I hope you don’t mind climbing.”

“Climbing? Why… oh, the lifts. Why aren’t they working? And for how long?” he asked and looked down the passageway towards the lift doors, slowly turning and walking towards them. As he moved, he unzipped his bag and pulled out a clear case filled with an assortment of tools and hand-held equipment.
