Mission: Shore Leave
Location: Main Engineering
Timeline: After Welcome Aboard

Fifteen minutes meeting his new Captain, Dived had changed from his uniform to a much more comfortable engineering jumpsuit and was walking through a pair of doors on deck 15. Most people would look at it and see a room like every other room with its purpose but the new Engineering Chief saw a masterpiece on par with Malor’s finest work. This was the heart and soul of the Akira class vessel and it's beauty was almost to much for him to bare. The vertical warp core was a swirl of colors that bathed the room with a kaleidoscope of colors that brought a tear to his eye, the panels that controlled the ship’s many systems produced a variety of beeps that were better than any symphony, and the hum of the EPS conduits below his feet brought a tingle to his skin. This was Main Engineering and this was his new home.

He watched the engineers go about their business for a few minutes before coughing to get their attention. No one seemed to notice their new boss, so he tried to simply vocalize a greeting. Not a sole seemed to hear him. Dived walked to a nearby console and tapped a few keys that sent a loud horn blaring through the room's speakers. Every eye was suddenly on him. “Hi, uh, I’m Dived Dumet, the new Chief Engineer.”

The entire staff immediately stood at salute and an Andorian that was the closest officer to him spoke up. “Lieutenant, welcome to Main Engineering. How can we be of service?”

Dived raised his hand to dismiss their formallity. “Please stand down. First of all, I am just an engineer like you so there is no reason to waste a salute or address me by rank. You can call me Dived or Chief if that is to personal for you.” He smiled warmly at his new staff. “I have read all of your performance evaluations and I was more than impressed. You are all extremely capable engineers and I look forward to working alongside you. With that being said, ” he paused as he pulled a PADD out of his breast pocket. “I have a few changes to the duty assignments to better make use of each of your skills.”

He tapped a few keys on the PADD and the updated roster appeared on various screens around the room. He waited a few minutes for the men and women to read the new information before speaking again. “ Repair teams One through Three, I need you working structural integrity alongside the station crew. Teams Four and Five, I would like you to double check the entire EPS network for any blown conduits. Team six, please aid tactical in repairing the weapons systems. Team Seven, you are assigned to propulsion maintenance and Eight will be helping Science realign the sensors. Teams Nine and Ten, you will work general maintenance while I work to upgrade our shields.”

He beamed even more at his new team. “We have a lot of work ahead of us and not much time. I know you will all prove more than up to this task. Let’s make this the best Akira class the fleet has ever seen.”
