For the last month, Shawe had been working on the portable technology requested by his captain. He was now ready to begin testing. The time had come to put his work to the test.

He went over to the Vulcan officer he was considering for the ACE position. While he was working with the incompetant Tellarite who had just blown another fuse relay a few minutes ago, she was going to be having her final test. “If the relays aren’t fixed by the time I get back you and your entire time will be sleeping in the booth tonight,” he said calmly. “Meanwhile, I have a useless oath to take care of,” he said. He then went to his office and tapped on the comm panel on the wall.

=/\=Lieutenant Shawe to Sickbay, we’re about to do some work with some… experimental technolgy. It might be a good idea to have a doctor present for this test=/\=

He then walked over and got the first finished, working prototype from his desk, and clipped it onto his belt, keeping one hand on it. He didn’t want anybody getting any smart ideas.
