As engineers picked up crates and moved off, Mark said “Thompson, you and me.” Going over to lift a crate of spotlights, he asked the Ensign “Honestly, is everyone sick, or are they filling out transfer requests?”
-Lt(j.g.) Mark Pierce, CE
“Honestly sir? I don’t know anymore.” Mike answered, “but if they are requesting transfers? Then to me that’s running away from something they don’t like. You have a higher standard for us than most other Chiefs, and they don’t like that.” He shrugged, “running away from an issue doesn’t solve anything.”

“I know things are tough around here, but I want this to be the top department on this ship. Including medical.” He paused.
-Lt(j.g.) Mark Pierce, CE
“Well I can assure you, sir, I’m sticking around.” Mike said, nodding.

“Good to know there’s at least two of us. I know I’m something of a drill sergeant, or if you look at my Marine record, Sergeant Major, but it is so we’ll be the best. And I believe a tight knit, well run unit does that.” He put the crate in the nearest turbolift. “Alright. It can’t all fit, so meet me on deck 2.” The doors swooshed shut.

The NE who had delivered the goods stood watching unhelpfully. Eventually he cleared his throat and said “ Uh so…Can i like go or what here lads?’

One of the few engineers in the compartment that day said “If you’re not here to help, best get out of Lt Pierce’s way. He’s likely not in a good mood with last minute orders.”

Mark arrived on deck 2. He checked his PaDD. Doesn’t make sense. The support poles don’t seem to be going in crucial locations. They just seem to be here to hold up the spotlights. =/\=Lt Pierce to Captain Taylor. Sir, have you or Cmdr Brooks approved any large scale requisitions to engineering? Perhaps for an event? We received a sizeable shipment of support poles and spotlights with orders to place them on every deck.=/\=

Willow’s voice responded immediately sounding concerned. =^= Indeed we did not Lieutenant. Under no circumstances are you to install any such thing on my ship. Is there a name on the order?=^=
