OOC - I’ve never been thrilled with working multiple timelines at once but…

As the doors slid open, Katie caught her first glimpse of the Ark Angel’s Engineering Compartment. On one hand it was much the same as the one on Challenger but on the other, it was much larger. The sounds and vibrations were much the same and yet different on a fundamental level. A young, human engineer, she assumed, approached her.

“May I help you?”

“Yes. I’m Ensign Katherine Hobbes, reporting for duty,” Katie said handing the young woman her PADD. The woman accepted it and gave it a quick glance.

“Ah, yes. We’ve been expecting you and at least one other new officer,” the woman said.

The woman after looking the PaDD over directed Katie over to what was seemingly a Second Engine core but this one completely different from the normal Warp cores that Katie was probably used to seeing Miz’uki was bent over and working on calibrating something making sure the core was ready to go at a moment notice she had a tool wrapped in her tail while she continued to work

Katie stood silently, well aware of the potential dangers of interrupting someone performing a delicate operation and to be perfectly honest, she had never seen anything quite like the system the officer with the … was that a prehensile tail holding a tool? Still, form followed function and so Katie began to study the device. She was mostly motionless other than her eyes and pointed finger tracing the connections with the more familiar systems. It didn’t take long to conclude from the general shape, the connections and what she could see of the instrumentation, that this was some type of a warp core but one of a design she had never seen.

A few moments passed before the tailed officer settled back from her work and Katie could see enough to know that this was the first Caitan Katie had ever seen.

“Excuse me, Lieutenant,” Katie said. “I don’t want to disturb you but I am Ensign Katherine Hobbes, reporting for duty as a junior engineering officer.”

“Dont worry about it Ensign” she purred The Caitian stood at 5‘10” what was visible of her fur was a mosaic of colors Brown Yellow Orange black white and grey she wore the standard uniform top but instead of pants she was wearing the standard skirt and covering her legs was armored pads specially designed for her digitigrade legs which also were incapable of wearing boots

“I was just making sure the Flea’tan jump core is ready to go We don’t get to use it much but keeping it fully maintained is important” she purred Reaching back and taking the tool from her tail and putting it away “Come with me!” she added turning and walking towards her office so she could have a nice conversation with the ensign

Katie followed and sat in the “normal” chair on the door side of the desk. The chair on the other side was different in a number of ways that Katie assumed accommodated the Caitan officer’s anatomy.

“A Flea’tan jump core. I haven’t encountered one of those before,” Katie said. “Two questions immediately come to mind. One, what does a Flea’tan jump core do that’s different from the more typical cores? And two, does the Ark Angel have a lot of other technologies that Challenger didn’t have and the Academy didn’t cover?”

“its a bit of tech that we gained from our alliance with the Flea’tan I will of course have to bring you upto speed on its function We dont get to use it much because it needs a special Relay to use For the most part we use the same thing most starships are using today though there are a few things I would like you working close with me until you learn this ship like the back of your paw as it were!” she purred “Would you like something to Drink?” she added moving to her replicator
