Marishka's Quarters - House Call

Posted Oct. 21, 2022, 6:33 p.m. by Lieutenant Commander Akirel Ros (Chief Engineer) (David Shotton)

Just after 8am the following morning after Ros had met Marishka at the Parthenon, he rang the chime to her quarters. As promised Ros stood outside with tool kit in hand and belt slung at a jaunty angle across his waist, the yellow tunic of the Engineering division creaseless and ready for a days work. In his other hand, was his oversized metal flagon full with black, strong coffee.

It wasn’t exactly the crack of dawn, but his shift didn’t start until 7am and running an engineering department on a floating city did take a little time each morning to make sure work orders, maintenance requests and other trivial daily tasks were being seen to. Repairing someone’s shower wasn’t normally in the purview of the CE, but it had been a while since Ros had gotten dirty outside of his engine room and office, and it was a good opportunity to get familiar with some area’s of the ship.

A slow smirk spread on his lips as he waited. Marishka was part Orion, and he could imagine that being slightly distracting for some members of his crew. It wasn’t as if he was taking one for the team, but Ros knew that if she was distracting at all for him, it wasn’t going to be for the reasons most people assumed. Another large mouthful of coffee and Ros closed his eyes. When he opened them again seconds later, the intense green had faded somewhat towards the soft warmth of amber.
