“We can skip medical, as I was already there for my physical. Seen one med bay, you’ve seen them all,” Faye said, not exactly with tension, but clearly there was no joke to be made about that one on her end.

Looking around, Faye stalled a moment while she took a deep breath and then moved for the door. “Well then, let’s get this tour underway. I could do with something to eat already. Lunch seems like ages ago,” she commented idly. It was strange to think that she was actually going to share more than one meal with the same person in the same day. Had she ever done that? Well, Nevol didn’t count. Or did he? Being a backstabbing manipulator makes him not count, she decided.

Hammor nodded and said “No problem. Let’s get this show on the road.” and he walked to the door and allowed Faye to leave before exiting directly behind her.

He led them down to the Science Section and into the front of the labs. Halting them there, he said “I don’t mess around in here. I know they have some things going on that far above my bald head, so I just make sure that they have consistent power and fulfill material requests as quick as I can. I haven’t even dealt with the staff much. But if your work is anything like I think it is, you will probably be spending some time here. I’d recommend at least saying hi before you start hijacking their computational relays.” he said with a grin and a soft chuckle.

Hammor, Ops Chief

Faye snorted. “Well, I’ve already met with the Chief Science Officer, so he’s well aware of the issues I may present them at times. I don’t report to him, but I’m working in his department, so I’m trying to play nice.” She gave Daggum a slightly wicked grin. “But you just never know when some annoying scientist starts having configuration issues. I mean, it can happen to anyone, right?” She was mostly joking, but she knew he didn’t necessarily default to that assumption.

Hammor chuckled and said “Nope, you never know indeed…” and then he looked around for a second. “Well, if you are good here let’s hit the Ops.” and he lead the way back to the turbolift and took them to Deck 18.

“Yep, all good.” Faye had taken a cursory look around the labs, but in her mind, once you had seen one Starfleet science lab, you had seen them all. Sure, some like Cartography or Astrometrics could be really different and the technological advancements made those labs stand out as time went on, but for the most part, a lab was a lab was a lab.

Walking down the passageway, they came to a little used side passage and Hammor led them to a door marked simply “OPS”. It most definately was not the office he had first met Calloway in. He looked into an optical scanner and the door opened to reveal a large office space. The walls were lined with cages containing various pieces of equipment and some of the more ‘sensitive’ devices that Hammor liked to keep tabs on. In the middle of the room sat a circular desk with two chairs and multiple displays both in the desktop and on monitors. Daggum smiled and said “This is my baby. Not many people know it’s here. I think this area is actually marked ‘Master Systems Display’, but no one came in here for days or sometimes weeks on end. So, I made sure that everyone who needed that information had access to it remotely, set up a full Systems Monitoring / Diagnostics and Control Suite for all primary and secondary systems, and slapped a lock on the door. Now, only the Skipper, XO, Chief Engineer, and me have access to the room. I can monitor and access any system on board, and the Command staff has a fall back in case something happens to the upper decks. The only thing I can’t do from here is weapons and saucer separation; and I did that on purpose. Even put hard breaks between this and those systems to prevent sabotage.” And he looked at Calloway. “Now, normally I would be quite hesitant to bring you here, what with your ‘super-classified’ hijinks and all. But I figured that you should know about this so that when you see some odd code or programming sending data to a weird spot, you don’t freak out or get concerned.”

Hammor, Ops Chief

“Well then,” Faye said softly as she slowly circled the room and took in all the little details. He had to know by this point that her memory was particularly good, so it was likely she was memorizing quite a bit, just from a glance. turning to face him, Calloway simply nodded. “You don’t mess with mine and I won’t mess with yours,” she said with a slight grin. “Besides, I doubt all my ‘super-classified hijinks’ as you call them will cross your work so specifically. I appreciate you letting me know though,” she said sincerely.

~Faye Calloway, Data Specialist

Hammor knew she was probably mapping and inventorying the place as she looked around, but he simply nodded and said “Sounds good to me. And if something in the aforementioned hijinks goes awry, this is where we can fall back to deal with it. That work for you?” Hammor was still trying to figure out why he was so comfortable around the new arrival, but he simply files that away in his mind as ‘To Be Dealt With At A Later Time’.
