The next stop on David’s list was Main Engineering, to talk to Lieutenant Johnson. He walked into the bustling engine room, his mind occupied with rehearsing what he might say and how he should act as an XO. After a bit of searching, David found the CE tucked away in a corner of the room. “Excuse me, Lieutenant Johnson,” he said, “do you have just a moment to chat?” His hands silently grabbed the bottom of his jacket, pulling it down and straightening it.

XO

Steve was busy soldering some wires together with a wielding type mask on. He didn’t look at the person, only spoke. “Hey pal. Do you mind. Give me two minutes. I’m starting to think you don’t know anything about Engineering with your constant pestering.”

Finishing the work he smiled and stood up, lifting the visor to see and turned around. “Now that’s how fix that!” Seeing who it was he lost his smile quickly. “Uh. Sorry sir. I thought you were NE Ensign Trenty again. I do have time to talk sir. Please follow me to my office.” With that he showed him the way and once in the office he poured a cup of coffee for himself and held it up to see if the XO wanted one.
