Posted by Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone (Commanding Officer) in Side Sim - Captain’s Ready Room - An Engineer is having a small Crisis
[snip]“I will look into that captain…I wanted to be on starship postings because I thought it would be the best way to avoid my fearrr of Insects…” she said softly before taking another drink of the milk which had a green tint to its color, was almost as thick as an earth Milkshake and smelled like wildflowers “but Yes I will make an appointment with Lieutenant Freeman as soon as I go off duty today” she added
”..Now onto the second issue, rallying your team and striving to ‘be like the greats’. I’m not sure why you feel you failed in this task to ‘rally your team’? You did as was tasked and did so in an efficient yet properly sustained time period. Even under different circumstances of pressure you could not have replaced the part stolen, properly and safely installed it, configured it for use, etc in any time period shorter then what you did. Were you to do so and rush past checks and balances you could have only resulted in further damage, or even loss of life. Cutting corners, even in a crisis is never an excuse to risk your life, the lives of your staff, and obviously this ship and her crew.” She said. Pausing to sip her drink cooly, “..Now onto the other matter of rallying your team, to ‘be like the greats’. Ever engineer regardless of their origins of being in the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Star Empire or .....any other powers of influence. Has their ‘hero figures’ that folks look up to, that folks wanna be like. It may surprise you to learn that the Star Empire has quite a few such figures in their own right over our long history just like in Starfleet. But consider this for a moment, do you think they were naturally born with such skill? That it just....came to them at their birth?” Drudoc said, pausing to look to Miz’uki for a simple yes or no reply.

“No, I guess your right captain” she purred “I was reading everything I could about Commander Charles Tucker…from the NX-01 and He really struggled to Dial in that Warp Five engine that made his Enterprise what she was and get it working properly,” she said clearly calmed down and feeling a little better
Miz’uki
”..Exactly Lieutenant, ‘the greats’ as you call them did not come about over night, they came about over time and experiences which shaped them. To try to be like them instead of forging your own path to me only seems to breed frustration you dont need..” Drudoc said gently.

she nodded “Thanks Captain talking that over made me feel better about how things are going” she purred with a smile her oddly colored eyes sparkling with confidence again “After my shift I will be sure to schedule something with the counselor in dealing with my insect fear” shes added draining her cup of the warm green milk that had filled the room with the smell of wildflowers and invoking the feeling of springtime
Miz’uki
”..Of course Lieutenant. Is there anything else then?” She asked.
Drudoc Andone CO
“No Captain…I am good now Thank you for helping me calm back down.” she purred finishing off the last bit of her milk before getting up from the seat and putting the cup back in the replicator and turning toward the door “Purrrmission to return to my station?” she asked smiling lightly
