Continuing her exploration of the ship and having just departed the science labs Ella now found herself walking into engineering. It held a different atmosphere to most of the ship and besides the bridge she suspected this was either the busiest or second busiest location on a routine day. She was searching for the chief engineer, that’s who she was here to see but getting to know any of the engineering crew wouldn’t hurt. She walked slowly through the room examine different pieces of equipment, crew members working and of course the warpcore. She figured if she hung around long enough someone would question her presence.

“Watch out!” someone yelled as a large piece of machinery came rolling through engineering.

A swift as she was Ella quickly moved out of the immediate path and watch the machinery continue toroll, so this was how the other half lived? She thought to herself not realising someone had joined her until they spoke.

“I’d recommend standing to the side and keeping an eye out,” Koria said as pulled a piece of dried lida fruit out of the pouch in her hand, popping it into her mouth. “Can I help you?”

The woman who had spoken to her was similar in height, size and age or at least her appeared age was similar to her own. She was wearing gold and had two gold pips on her collar, she figured this was the person she’d been looking for. “Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep that in mind.” Ella looked back to where the machinery had finally stopped before looking back to the other woman. “I’m Lieutenant Lokaa I’ve just transferred in as the new Chief Security officer and wanted to meet the other department heads” The commotion surrounding the loose machinery caught the Elasian attention again, “Does that happen often around here?”

“That, more then I would like. But the team has gotten pretty good about getting the needed repairs done as quickly as possible,” she said looking over at the where the engineers were pulling the equipment off of the dolly for installation.

She chuckled at the Chief Engineers humour and mirrored her gaze as she too watched the engineers buzz around the trolly which had seemingly ran away from them. Ella had considered herself becoming an engineer once but security was where her natural talents resided.

“Come on, we can go talk in my office, it is a little bit safer,” she said laughing, leading the way.

“I hope so, you really should consider put a warning on door.” She joked following the other woman to what she assumed would lead to her office.

“Not a bad idea,” Koria said over her shoulder.

As they walked in, Koria grabbed a free stool and pushed it towards Lokaa. She had replaced the traditional desk, and had several work benches surrounding the perimeter of the office. She grabbed another stool and sat down.

The ‘office’ if you could call it that was more akin to a workshop you’d find in the Elasian trade sector or armoury. There was no desk and surrounding her was a number of work benches. She stopped the stool that the Chief Engineer had rolled in her direction with her foot and sat down on it. She liked the working environment, that she had set up here and it was seemingly practical maybe she’d turn her office into a shooting range or battle arena!

“I guess I should introduce myself. Koria Sutret. How are you liking the Chimera so far?”

Lt Sutret - CE

“Its nice to meet you Koria” She said with a friendly smile. The name Koria was pleasant to say and hear, even though it had more than two syllables. “The crew have been extremely kind to me, sometimes my forwardness get received the wrong way and sometimes people are intimidated by me because of my background but no one seems to mind her. The ship itself is amazing, I’m looking forward to call it my home for the foreseeable future! How about you? Any tips for the fresh meat?” She asked.

“Make sure you keep working on ducking,” Koria said with a laugh. “The Chimera has certainly been through a lot recently, including a certain former CO letting the marines blow giant holes in each deck. Don’t get me wrong, it was completely warranted at the time, but it was a pain to clean up after the fact let me tell you. We only recently got out of an extended stay in dry dock.

“But I would definitely study up on the deck plans. The Mjolnir class is not set up as you have probably been accomsted too. Because the ship is a carrier, a lot of items are rearranged around the flight decks. The ships bridge is actually 5 decks below us right now. That and the ship in itself is just big.”

Koria leaned back as she looked over Ella. “Okay I’ve got to ask, what about your background makes people intimated? To be honest, unless someone is planning on working in my engineering, I don’t have time to keep up with most of the personnel changes around here.”
