The last of Dayner’s belonging had just arrived in his newly assigned quarters. He hadn’t had much of a look, he walked into each part of his new accommodation and briefly glanced around, the same way that someone might quickly inspect a Hotel Room they where staying in before they headed out again.
He stood in the center of his new room and stared at the pile of boxes and bags that his belongings where in. He sighed. Unpacking always felt like a chore. albeit an unavoidable one. It didn’t bother him though, he had predetermined before his arrival aboard the Leviathan that he go and perform the usual on-boarding routines first.
This was primarily because he wasn’t as well read about his new posting as he would like to have been. It was hard to read up anything about the Leviathan or it’s missions because most of the information was classified or redacted. This only added to his excitement and intrigue.

He strode out of his quarters and made his way along the corridors to the nearest Turbolift and stepped inside. “Deck 18” He said and the lift whirred into life.
‘I’ll call by the Chief Engineer’s Office first see if they are around, if not I call by Main Engineering next.’ He thought to himself as the lift made it’s way though the ship.
Eventually the lift came to a halt and Dayner stepped out. He walked along the corridor until he found the door marked Chief Engineer’s Office. He pressed the chime and waited to see if anyone was in.

Lieutenant Dayner Ruuk - Containment Architect

As he pressed the chime, Iphigenia walked up behind him. “Welcome to the Leviathan Lieutenant Ruuk.” She said as she placed both hands behind her back. “I see we both had the same idea and are here to see the Chief Engineer.” She looked around him at the door, “Although I am sure you have a much better reason to be here than I do. I just wanted to see if he was free for lunch. I guess you are here to check in with him?” She paused then said, “After your check-in, you should join us for lunch.”

Ruuk turned and was somewhat surprised to find the Captain standing behind him. “Ah Captain, Thank you” He said to her Welcome. “Lunch would be wonderful, Thank you Ma’am”. Not only would lunch be a fantastic opportunity for Ruuk to eat for the first time in what felt like an age (but in reality had he eaten Breakfast that morning.) it would also be a great chance to learn more about his fellow officers.

“Of course. I am glad I caught you here. Just so you know we have a wonderful spot here on the ship to dine. What do you like to eat?” She asked.

“I am open to most cuisines” Ruuk smiled, “and I’m certainly not opposed to trying new things.”

“Very good. In that case, you will have to try the Hlaka soup paired withe the Darvot fritters and we can have Laurelian pudding for desert.”

“Oh?” Meylan was carrying a briefcase with a surprise to see 2 officers standing near the hatch of the CE’s office. “Good day to both of you, I’m Lieutenant James Meylan, and I’ll be assisting with some desk works for the Chief Engineer. And he’s not here.” He then turned to the panel near the hatch and said =M=Computer, open.=M=

=C=Identification?=C=

=M=Lietenant James Meylan, Engineer, 2057.=M=

=C=Confirm.=C= Usually, the office was locked unless the CE was inside. A few designated ranks could enter in case of an emergency. The room was the place not only allowed some privacy for the Chief but also monitors to evaluate the ship’s health should they desire.

“Come in,” He waved to Ruuk after it opened. “And Captain, would you like to join us?” He thought Iphigenia would be curious about this possibly-mysterious and secret sight to the engineering department.

Lt Meylan, Assisting CE

When Lieutenant Meylan arrived, Iphigenia presented a smile. “Well if it isn’t our assistant CE. Your timing is impeccable as always. I take it that Mr. Osedi has not arrived from his leave yet?” she asked Lieutenant Meyland

“The chief is taking a sick leave after a long hour duty shift, Sir.” Meylan let them in while accompanying the two precious senior officers. “We had a routine check performed and he didn’t feel well after that. I hope he’d be fine tomorrow.” Meylan recalled.

She turned to Ruuk to explain, “Our CE had to take a leave of absence. We are fortunate to have Lieutenant Meyland fill in for him until he returns. Not every starship is so lucky to have a CE and an Assistant CE.”

“Thank you” Ruuk said kindly as he gestured his hand to the door, inviting the Captain to enter before he did. Ruuk had been carefully reading up about manners and customs recently and saw this as good time to test his perception of them out. His interest as to the contents of the engineering office was well and truly piqued.

“If you would not mind, I would like to join you,” she said as she entered the office after Ruuk gestured.

“By all means, you are the Captain after all.” Ruuk said as he followed the Captain into the Office.

As Iphigenia walked into the office she observed the various consoles. She wasn’t sure why but she have always had a fascination with engineering although when it came to the discipline she never knew what she was doing. “I don’t know if you know, Lieutenant Ruuk, Lieutenant Meyland was the one who chose your application for the Containment Architect role. You were one of many and I had no idea what to look for.”

“Then I have you to thank” Ruuk smiled at the CE.

“Oh, never mind, Sir. I’m glad you found one.” He said that while bringing an additional chair in front of the guests. “I was trained to take care of the cores. We had a containment specialist before. He was taking both as the architect and the Chief Engineer. Oh, Have a seat and make yourself home!” He gestured to both of them. “Would you like something? Oh, let me remind you. Anything you ordered here tastes a little bit, you know, uniquely.” He smiled. Engineering decks were proud of having replicators that specialized for parts. Most machine repairs could be done here without the need to resupply from starbases. But because of that, those appetizers formed from the magical synthesizers somehow tasted oily and ion-ly; Those were spinach-blended, splendidly sparkling experiences.

“Nothing for me, thank you.” Ruuk said as he took a seat.

The office was probably far from saying, cozy. It was more like a museum of machines. A few pictures hanging on the wall showed the ship and its skeleton. Below them had a display table not for jewelry but for warp and impulse engine plastic models. And let’s not forget 1/200 sized ship model stated ‘SS Leviathan’ on the right side. The desk, piled with a screen and console, potentially for monitoring the ship’s health. The status showing was not so different from the table in Main Engineering, except here was more like a simplified, summary status. Another desk, however, was a bunk. The below was piled with PAADs; The previous encounters related to creatures and some empty frascos left by the previous CE.

“I’m keen to learn more about my assignment here on the Leviathan. I’ve done my best to read as much as I can into the ship and it’s missions. But as you will know, information on the ARU is… difficult to ascertain.” Dayner said in reference to the fact that all of the Documents he could find with information about the ARU or the Leviathan was heavily redacted. This meant that Dayner wasn’t quiet as prepared for this posting as he would like to be. But he knew in time that all he needed to know would be revealed.
