Generally speaking, when clearing any location Magnus prefered to start from the top and work his way down. Tactical thinking that was ingrained in him from his early years in the Academies Advanced Tactics course. However, when touring a ship he found it easier to understand how it and the crew function if he started in the heart of the ship. So after finishing his early morning exercises, sufficiently breaking his fast and spending a good long while shaving his face and sculpting his hair he put his combadge on and swaggered to the nearest turbolift and made his way down to Main Engineering.

After arriving he made his way to the centre of the room and took a moment to look at the main Warp core. After sufficiently admiring the large glowing cylinder he made his way up the Chief Engineers office and pressed the chime.

A Vulcan answered the door, surprisingly. She was short for a Vulcan, but stunningly lovely with fine pronounced cheekbones and an elegance to her brows that was mesmerizing. She bore lt jg pips. There was only a moment’s pause. “Welcome Commander.” She lifted her hand, fingers splayed in the traditional salute. “Live long and prosper. My name is Seraph, though many here call me Angel. Logically you must be looking for Lt Thor. He is down on Deck 20 looking at our available parts storage. There was something he was looking for there that he had brought on board before it launched. He called it a ‘barbie’.” Her tone suggested that she wasn’t sure what he was precisely meaning. “How may I be of assistance?”
- Dagen for Seraph

Magnus’s face went from a polite smile to one of genuine delight, so many words that you wouldn’t expect a Vulcan to say. He quickly suppressed the look for the sake of courtesy “You’ve already been of assistance Lieutenant, I’m looking for the Chief” The Commander winked as he tapped his Combadge =^=Karlson to Thor, I’m standing outside the Chief Engineers office looking for said Chief Engineer and Lieutenant Angel here tells me that he’s looking for his barbie?” There was a clear humorous tone in his voice “You wouldn’t happen to be heading up to your office anytime soon would you?=^=

Angel dipped her head in silent acceptance, followed by the classic brow raise, but oh so elegantly done! at the Commander’s wink.

The channel opened and there was the sound of, =^= Bring that around this way, yeah. Commander .. =^= the voice began then was followed by .. =^= no wait a .. momen =^= The sound of what was like metal clattering to the deck but not just in one short clanging episode but one that went on for many seconds, followed by the sound of what might in another century be a hubcap spinning and coming to a whirling stop.

Angel’s expression was akin to ‘It happens’ ..

=^= Ah Commander. Just .. yes, just move those back up in place and then bring that up to the main shuttle bay. Er, Commander, I’m on my way up. =^=

True to form, Dagen made his way up into main engineering deck 18 a couple of minutes later. “Sorry sir, I was getting things ready for the Engineering barbecue that I’m planning.”

“Indeed” The Commander answered suppressing a smirk “Well Lieutenant it is your lucky day, I’m performing somewhat of a surprise inspection if you will, Captain wanted be to get to know the Senior staff a little better and understand how you work. You don’t mind walking me around and showing me the ropes I hope?”

“Of course, Commander. My style is collaborative. The Genny is not a large ship, but she still has a fair crew.” Dagen gestured for him to follow. “Today is testing and overhaul of the auxiliary bridge. I have a team that will be helping me.” He passed Magnus a small smirk. “You’ve met Bot already. Maybe you can lend a hand and be a part of this. I was hoping to test out the saucer separation.”

“Normally I start the day with a meeting with my team leads to see what is the issues and delegate tasks. We did that earlier. I’ll do this again with the Beta shift when they come on and before I go off, and I meet early with the Gamma shift to understand what has been happening there and see that the general maintenance is being done. Each team lead looks after 6 to 10 crewmen. Alpha shift is my largest group at approximately a dozen while Gamma will be half that. She is a new ship and we’ve not been battered about yet so keeping up on maintenance is a priority and fairly routine.”

OOC: Bump

Magnus nodded “I’d be delighted, not often that you get to test the Aux-bridge” He put his hands behind his back and clasped them “The last few ships I served on were all older ladies, tougher than all hell but you could feel the creaking in their bones, is it a bigger, smaller or just plain different challenge dealing with such a new ship.” He asked.

OOC: Oops ..

They passed down the corridor. “That is hard to say, sir. I was part of the team that helped build this ship so in terms of knowledge I have that and am not coming onto the ship and having to learn all the little idiosyncrasies that she has, not to mention where things are and the unique way they work together. So with her being new I know the ship.” He held up a finger. “But.” They rounded a corner and he continued, nodding to a science crewman carrying what looked to be a portable test kit. “But .. once she was out in space all the hidden character bits started to come out. We don’t have the same issues as a ship that has gone through battles and this or that area showing weakness or needing more attention. That makes it a smaller footprint for maintenance challenges. But as she is new there is a lot of testing and ensuring that the nuts and stembolts are not coming loose on us.” Dagen chuckled, coming up to the turbolift. “There is always something to do.”
Dagen

Magnus nodded in understanding “Instead of one big problem its dozens or hundreds of small problems or potential problems” He summarized “I think she might be the newest ship I’ve served on. How’s your staff?” He asked
