Woods pondered her answer a moment then nodded. “I don’t think I am cut out to be in command. I used to be a DH but… It didn’t suit me. I wasn’t very good at it. I am mostly a researcher by nature.” He put the sweet into his mouth and rolled his tongue over it considering the doctor before tacking on with a small shrug, “I’d rather be at home drinking tea with Pol than on a ship, but the Old Man said I needed some main fleet experience.”

Engineering“The Old Man?” Ana asked, distractedly, as her attention was focused on the movement of Woods’ jaw as he devoured the lollipop. She shook her head minutely and forced her eyes back up to his to study him as he replied.
Darren, CoP
“Fleet Captain K’hal. He heads a sub unit within special projects within the corps,” Woods explained with a soft sigh. “He doesn’t like it when we call him the old man but he is rather grumpy. I suppose that is what you get for being a… Well you can look up his record if you are that curious. he isn’t exactly a pleasant person to be around but he is brilliant when it comes to systems engineering.”
Woods paused and then continued, unprompted, “He does like to see his engineers succeed though, and believes that we are more useful to him when we have main fleet experience. Get to know the product and the people, you know?”

Engineering“Oh,” Ana replied and then pondered Woods’ words for a few moments later. “Actually, that does make perfect sense,” she responded, finally, with a nod. “How long does he expect you to remain on the Ogawa to achieve the competency that he desires?” She was struck with a feeling that she would probably really enjoy the presence of this man, based on Woods’ description, and she strangely felt herself feeling a slight bit of kinship to Woods as an out-of-their-element researcher. The thought allowed her firmly pressed together lips to upturn slightly.

The engineer shrugged. “I suppose as long as it takes. Who knows I might like main fleet more that I do being in research,” he laughed a little to himself at the perceived absurdity of it.
He took another long suck of his lollipop before crunching it with his teeth, popping the sugary part off and then rolling it around in his mouth as he locked for a waste basket for the stick.
