: Posted by Cadet Sharon Miller (Engineer, Incoming CE) in Engineering Office - meeting for all engineering staff
: It was the morning after the graduation party, and Sharon was feeling slightly the worse for wear. Grabbing a coffee and an egg roll she made her way to engineering for her first shift as chief engineer. She wasn't quite sure what was having the worse effect on her stomach, her hangover or her nerves at taking over the department, but the coffee seemed to ease both a little.
:
: Stepping into the empty office she couldn't help but feel that something about the place looked strange. It took her a few minutes to realise that what was missing was the familiar sight of Lt. Drummond on the other side of the desk.
:
: She took a long time to look round the room, taking in certain features for the first time, then finally she took a seat in the chair...her chair.
:
: "Well, this is it," she said to herself, by way of a pep talk.
:
: Off to her left, she was answered by a little squeak. She looked over to where the football helmet rested on the end of the desk, and a small black nose appeared twitching over the top of it. Sharon smiled. She'd unofficially adopted Picachu the ferret since finding him during her search for the rogue devices, and although she usually kept him in her quarters, today she thought she'd bring him to work with her, so to speak. Moral support.
:
: For the first ten minutes or so, Sharon simply sat back in the chair and drank her coffee, her mind hesitating in making that first decision as CE. But eventually she knew she had to take the plunge. This department wasn't going to run itself.
:
: She touched her comm badge.
: =^= All engineering staff, this is Lt. Miller. I'd like you all to report to the engineering office as soon as possible please =^=
:
: The ship had taken quite a battering recently, and Sharon was sure that there would be enough repairs to keep them busy for a while, so it would be best to get started right away.

: Lt (j.g.) Miller (CE)

Adam heard Sharon’s voice over the comms. It was time to get up he guessed. Swinging his legs over the side of his bed he rubbed his eyes it had been a long night, a good night but oh so long. He sighed gently, and groaned. He hated mornings, especially ones that involved meetings and paper work.

After a fleeting shower and a couple of slices of toast, he was beginning to feel a bit more alive and active. He tapped his com badge =^= Lt Miller this is Voort I’ll be right down=^= He was proud to be serving under his friend and was looking forward to this new venture.
He walked down to engineering with a coffee in hand he needed his coffee to get his mind fuelled up and ready to go.

The Apollo corridors were abuzz with activity she had taken a pounding in the days leading up the graduation. Adam knew this meeting would probably have something to do with repairs and the like. *I like repairs not much chance of getting blown up doing them* he thought with a smile.

He could hear the gentle humming of the warp core as he got closer to engineering, turning the corner he could saw the blue glowing tube and it looked magnificent; it reminded him of his first day on the Apollo. He walked over to his console and logged into his console and brief list popped up, “Not too bad today,” He muttered to himself. He transferred the information to a nearby PaDD. Nodding to himself he head to Drum-- Miller’s office. He pressed the chime. Standing there he waited, with a whistle.
