Pre Sim - Jeffries Tubes - Tel'eck's Hide Out

”..Nah Mom wouldnt do that! She may seem all strict and what not but she’s a big softy underneath it all! She cares about everyone on the ship and really goes to lengths to see them thrive..” Tel’eck said.

The crawl through the Jeffries Tubes took them along deck 14’s inner workings along the port side of the ship. Eventually the girl reached a ladder hatch and climbed up to deck 13. More crawling happened until they reached a smaller access panel marked Astrometrics Lab 1 Service Access. Sliding this panel aside the girl shimmed lower onto her belly, and even more so for Catt she found it a slightly tight fit but somehow she made it. “..Come on we’re almost there!” Tel’eck said sliding under some paneling and cabling wires.

The two soon came into a small 5 by 8 foot almost rectangular cleared spot. It was clear the girl and probably a friend or two had taken careful timing to move wires aside into non-standard tie backs to then string up small bundles of cloth as improvised hammocks. Two PADDs were also in the room. A small portable power back and hand light provided dim illumination. Hopping into the left side slung hammock Tel’eck grinned swaying her feet. “..Here we are! What you think?” She said. “..Before she left to follow her Mom to the USS Memorial, my Andorian friend Lilith found out how to feed conduits into the Astrometrics Lab life support network to filter into here so it doesn’t get stinky! Her mom used to be the Ark Angel’s XO at one point, and the Chief Engineer before that, so she picked up how to do stuff like that from her Mom’s PADD work!” Pausing to giggle again, “..I showed Lilith how to bypass locks on doors and stuff, its how we keep sneaking out at times. Plus because of the EM interference from the shield generators nearby it blocks internal scans for my comm badge!” She said. “..A perfect hiding spot!”

Catt laughed a bit when Tel’ecrk described the Captain as a big softy. She was probably right that the Captain cared about her crew.. But didn’t think she would spare the rod if one of those crew breached regulations. She was amazed at what the kids had done to find privacy. The field blocking the combadges was a issue though as it created a potential danger. “Um you know that if your mother asks the computer where you are that the ship is going to say your not on the ship if it can’t find your combadge. That could get you in really bat trouble. But it’s a great hiding spot as good as any I have seen.”, Catt said looking about while she sat on the floor her voice as soft as ever. She didn’t quite trust the hammok to be able to hold her weight. She wondered if the com signal was actually cut off as the padds needed computer tie ins to function at more then basic functioning. “I will need to get back to the arboretum soon. I don’t want the plants to get lonely..”, she finally said as she rearranged a few tufts of furr that crawling had displaced.

”..Oh Mom has asked before and well....that’s why I think she may suspect where this is despite what I said. Since eventually one of the NE caretakers for us kids comes plodding along. But thats then when the game gets fun you see? Lilith and I rigged little timing sensors from our 3rd grade science class! When someone gets within a certain range it pings one of the PADDs here and we then scurry out to somewhere else nearby! So its like hide and seek! You’re the first adult I ever showed this too.” She said with an innocent smile.

At the declaration she had to leave so soon, Tel’eck pouted a bit. “..Aww but you only got here!” She protested.
