“After the last few years, excessively quiet and boring,” Ros admitted. “But, that’s apparently what the Brass had in mind for me and I have to admit, the down time didn’t go to waste. I had time to catch up on a few hobbies that I neglected while I was on the Vanguard on the way here.” Collecting a large coffee from the replicator Ros sat down behind the desk and leaned back in the chair, clearly trying it out for size.

“So, you mention it isn’t easy being the Chief Engineer here and Commander Nightstalker tells me the ship has it’s fair share of exciting incidents,” Ros’ eyebrow rose just slightly as he asked, “what exactly have I gotten myself into, Commander?”

Orvos laughed. “If you’re looking to expand your skill set, then you’ve come to the right place.” He leaned in closer. “We were sent on R and R what happened was anything but.” He then leaned back with a grin. “I think starfleet owes us for that one.”

-Commander Orvos Legen, XO

“Maybe they know it,” Ros spoke and a smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth, after which he spread his hands wide as if presenting himself. “They sent me to you, didn’t they? I’d call it even.” The boast coming from Ros was clearly in jest by the way he spoke, to a point. He had an underlying air of confidence and self assurance about him that pointed to the man trusting himself and his skills.

Orvos laughed. “While I don’t doubt your abilities, they’re going to need to make up for it much more than sending one stellar officer.”

Taking a drink of his coffee, Ros used it to hide the grin that spread across his face before he turned to look at the console beside him. “So do we have any outstanding Engineering tasks that I’ll be taking over aside from standard procedures and maintenance at this time?”

Lt Cmdr Akirel, CE

“Actually, there is a project that you’ll need to be aware of. It’s a rather new feature that could be installed to the Athena. We’re in the ending stages of testing though. Science and engineering have been working together on the incorporation of a new AI to the ship’s systems.” It was a project that starfleet and the captain were well aware of, but it had not been overly publicized yet.

-Commander Orvos Legen, XO

“A full AI like the Pendragon Class of battlecruiser uses alongside the ships computer?” Ros asked him, “They come in handy in a pinch, especially the updated versions that have been rolled out from the classes 10 year upgrade.”

Lt Cmdr Akirel, CE

“In a sense, yes. The project is actually a delicate one. Possible that intel may take it over though.” He shrugged knowing if that happened, his hands were tied.

-Commander Orvos Legen, XO

Ros raised his hands in mock defense. “Hey, if they have any intention of that I have no knowledge of it,” dropping his hands he picked up his coffee once more and took a drink before placing it back down. “You know, working for Intel and such the last few years. Tell me more about it, if you can. What are we lookin at?”

Lt Cmdr Akirel, CE

Orvos groaned as he throw his arms up. “They’re all over the place and don’t pick up after themselves, save one certain Caitian who has been here for years. Apparently Commander Nightstalker will be leaving very shortly though. Not much as for details, but it seems to me that this is not a permanent situation. Basically, watch your caboose. I hope I didn’t shoot down your expectations.” he added a short chuckle of his own.

-Comander Orvos Legen, CE

“Oh if there is one thing that Intel has taught me over the years, it’s not to have expectations in the first place. Less to get wrong that way.” The very slight smile on his face may or may not indicate if Ros was joking around or not.

“So, I’ll go through outstanding maintenance trickets, familiarize myself with the existing duty roster and read up on Engineering projects that are currently underway. Anything else you want me to keep an eye on specifically?”

Lt Cmdr Akirel, CE
