Given the last crisis, I think it's safe to say that being "understaffed" is putting it lightly for me and the other grease monkeys.
If you've got something worth using between the ears and don't mind getting your hands dirty, come on down to the Engineering Bay, because if we don't keep this place running, no one will.
And no triple-shifters, I already have to chase down Sulu to get him to sleep once a week. You don't need to sleep often, but more than him or me.

Glad to hear you're thinking of signing up for the Engineering team. I've seen a lot of crew come and go already, but we can always use more hands - we've till got half the ship to cover, after all. There's a lot of hard work and the glamour is pretty nil, so don't expect to get praise when telling people you've cleaned out the vents or fixed a short on the grid.

Don't ask too loudly about the Jump Drive if you want to stay on Resnik's good side. No, we don't know how it works, calm down. We'll take the eggheads that won't fit down on the flight crew, but don't get cocky because the work is just as hard.

I can at least promise you it won't be boring, there's plenty of stuff to monitor and explore down here, just watch your step.

Clarke out.


[ooc: Just like with the flight crew call-to-arms, this is a call for anyone who wants to jump into the woefully understaffed engineering department to get into the guts of the ship. Questions will be answered, people will join the team with hopefully a shred of sanity and poking the ship's guts will happen in mass.]

On a scale of I can't even spell that part to I'm willing to put in the hours, how much does experience matter? [ if they're that desperate and he'd like to be more involved, that is. he can't imagine picking this up on his own, without the incentive but there's a pretty big incentive. like the power going out next time and maybe not coming back on. if they need hands, he has them. the brainy part is going to take some work since he's no son of Hephaestus. ]
