In the corner workstation, one of the scientists stood out a little more than usual. Mostly it was the cowboy hat he wore when he could get away with it. At least he wore his duty boots after being chewed out about the cowboy boots enough over the years. Though, Marsh was pretty easy going, so it usually wasn’t him doing the nitpicking about regulations. Tipping his hat up, he peered at the new ensign curiously. “Hey, Newbie,” Clint said with a heavy trace of a drawl in his voice. “Watcha up to?”

Now, Clint might have bene one of the most laid back and easy going of the entire science department, but he knew a cagey person when he saw one and people behaving oddly in a departmental space that was not their own certainly was going to draw a lot of attention. Holding his arm out, Marshall blocked the engineer’s path. “Sorry, newbie, not so fast. I might not outrank you but I do have seniority. Why don’cha have a seat and tell me what all the fuss is about and if the answer is satisfactory, then perhaps we won’t have to involve any of the uppers.

Greiss raised a finger to object, but quickly and weakly lowered it, knowing he could do nothing now that this man was certainly onto him. “Okay… Alright…”
He sighed in disappointment of his buffoonery and continued on. “Remember the deep space survey station that we stopped at a few days ago? There was a Bolian there who said he could have parts for the computer core upgrades shipped here if I helped him reconstruct these hunks of centuries old home electronic junk that he calls ‘Ancient Human Technological Relics’.” Winston picked up a cartridge with torn ribbons of tape extending from to openings to demonstrate. I’d replicate replacements, but he refuses to send the shuttle with the parts unless I manually reassemble and correctly repair this god-forsaken copper circuitry.” Winston moved closer to Clint and began to whisper. “Thing is, I can’t just ask for the components of that Micro-Ionized Redistributor over there without proper authorization. Bad news about that is that my Bolian friend I have contact with isn’t exactly… sanctioned“
