Beaming aboard the genesis Kalos immediately made his way to engineering to find the chief engineer.
Arriving in engineering it was pretty easy to spot the lieutenant. Approaching, Kalos said “Lieutenant commander Thor? permission to come aboard?”

Dagen was pouring over shift assignment scheduling. It had zero point to him in an engineering perspective and was taking him away from what he loved to do. He supposed it was a necessary evil to keep everyone on the top of their game by knowing each shift and what they did. That was the easy part for rotations. The harder part was making sure that the various skill sets were optimized.

He was vaguely aware that there were crew rotations and more happening. It was an additional focus element that he would need to include, but that was something to come.

“I’d say you already are if you’ve made it this way,” Dagen said with a smile, running a hand through his mop of salt and pepper hair that just didn’t submit to any real control. That gave him a moment to recall names. He stood and extended his hand. “Welcome aboard. That is Kalos?” he asked. It was one out of three people coming in this swap and the only one who as decidedly Betazoid. The other was female and the other Tellarite.

“Let’s go for a walk,” he said, moving away from the desk with a good excuse to take a break. “You are fresh out of the Academy?” he asked, trying to remember the bit he skimmed. He had a better look at Kalos. He was skinny. His mother would have a field day with him. “What ship class were you assigned to there?”
Dagen, CE

OOC: Bump .. Gene

OOC: oops, sorry about that.

“Yep, Kalos Onovren” he said following Dagen
“right again, fresh out of the academy. but I like to think that no one can tell because of my previous work, hopefully I wont come across as too green.”
People had thought many things about Kalos but rarely did people find him skinny. Granted he was slightly below the average weight for people his hight.
“Just transferred off the challenger, picked up a good deal of field experience but I’m still not used to the way you do things here in the military.”

They passed the master systems display where the large oval table held an overlay of the Manhattan. It looked like it had Deck 13 up. Mainly those decks were hard to differentiate but for one bearing the nacelles and deuterium storage. Deeg and Angel were arguing over power distribution from the Impulse drive to the computer core as a critical backup, which it was, however one of them - Angel by the sounds of it - thought that it was insufficient in necessary power flow and required a retrofit of the plasma conduits. They passed before he could hear what Deeg’s rebuttal to that was.

They approached the secondary sensor array that appeared to be in pieces. “You have me intrigued now. Tell me about your previous work and how it used to be.”
- Dagen, CE

OOC: Manhattan?

IC: “I was the head of spaceframe design as a civilian for the Far Star class development project. But being a civilian agency contracted by Starfleet my team and I didn’t have to follow the same rules. Or at least not as strict of rules. And because the environment was more controlled in space dock than here in deep space we felt more comfortable taking risks, especially since we knew that ship like the back of our hands.”
Kalos continued, a sad look passing across his face, “But there was an accident and I was injured. the accident was the fault of one of the people I managed, but we were like family on that team and he really needed the work. He had been taken hostage by the Cardassians during the dominion war and never returned to us, but after the war was over he escaped on a stolen cardiassian shuttle. The engineering job provided stability for him and he was only sixteen. I took the fall for the accident and was asked to leave so I decided to join Starfleet as an engineer.”
kalos paused, “It was a big change moving into Starfleet, having to follow stricter protocols and rules.”

-Ensign Onovren, engineer

Dagen laughed. “Different, not stricter, at least I didn’t see that. This,” he said with an expansive sweep of his arm, “is naval routine and regulations. Maybe I don’t notice it with swimming around in that pond for almost two decades, but when I was at the Mars shipyards the safety regs were pretty strict. But then I was coming off of a time away and doing contract engineering work on OP42. The change was a .. culture shock.”

He glanced at Kalos. “What was Far Class and that project?” Dagen had been outed on his own account after belting an admiral, but Kalos had, curiously been shifted in a different way. He had not heard of this project, though he had been immersed in his own with the Genesis.
- Dagen, CE

OOC: the Far Star class ship is just something I made up for backstory but I have been working on specs for it and plan on trying top get it commissioned. I can create a side Simm if you want me to explain it.

IC: “It was actually quite the unique project, the Far Star has a total of 10 interchangeable “mission modules” six for the saucer and and four for the engineering hull. but without anything installed she was just a spaceframe with a bridge, some recreation facilities, a deflector dish, main engineering and warp nacelle plus the crew quarters for the crew compliment required to operate the ship with no modules. I was just responsible for the spaceframe and Bridge but-“
Suddenly Kalos stopped realizing he had gotten carried away and might be boring Dagen.
“If you want we can get a drink after my shift and I can explain it in more detail” he said, his face flushed, embarrassed.
