Main Sim: Engineering

Posted March 7, 2021, 1:36 p.m. by Lieutenant Commander T'Pria (Engineering Chief) (Sharon Miller)

Silence. Broken occasionally by the random chirp of a console or the rushing of a plasma intake. From her desk, up on the second level gantry, Lt Cmdr T’Pria could see most of engineering below, her officers moving slowly from one job to the next in almost-reverential silence for the machinery pulsating around them. From port wall to stern every surface and platform, every station and console, gleamed as white and as clean as the frozen plains of Andoria. Had the area been displayed to generations past, they might have guessed it a doctor’s surgery over an engineering deck. But for T’Pria, competency and efficiency were borne from these clean, precise lines. A raised voice and a stamp of feet usually indicated a panic. And with a class V warp core occupying a full quarter of the room, panic would be a most unwelcome thing indeed.

But today panic was far from the minds of the yellow-suited engineers below. Of more concern to them, as they whispered in small clusters around terminals or passed secret messages scrawled on PADD’s, was boredom.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen her crack a single smile,” hissed one ensign Frye into the ear of his companion, Wash.
“She has a way of making me feel like I’m constantly in trouble,” Wash shot back, “like she’s gearing up to give me an ear-bashing at any moment.”

Of course, such suspicions were completely illogical. And at that moment, the Engineering Chief was barely even aware of her minions busying themselves below her. Of far more interest was the records currently scanning across her own, private screen. On the subject of their current destination - Sigma 9.
