Well, now we're at a relative minimum of ongoing life-threatening horrors- [He pauses for a moment, waiting to see if the universe was going to challenge that statement and send Ward to shoot him or the like]- ah, there we are. Anywho, it's caught my eye that while Security's managed a most impressive list of doers of good and daring-do, we've at scare what I'd consider even the liberal definition of a bare-bones shift down in Engineering.

[Or, as the tone of his voice implies, the best department in ever]

For all ye laddies and lassies not from a more technologically enlightened era, those'd be the bits that keep us all alive and, in theory, moving...to...ah, somewhere. They require a fair bit of upkeep. Particularly when we find ourselves in a bit of a tussle, as seems rather the norm aboard this Lady.

Which brings about the point of these ramblings. If any aboard are keen on gaining a bit of hands-on experience on learning the ins and outs of the fine engineering trade, I've a touch of experience from my Academy days in expanding eager minds. No previous experience needed- the less the better, in some cases. I'm sure other members of the department'd be pleased to help in the endeavour, as well. [Or have students shoved off on them when Scotty gets distracted. Same difference.]

So if you've an interest, pipe up here and we'll set up a shadowing schedule. Scotty out.

I am certainly interested in learning a bit more, though my technological experience is...outdated. If you truly are willing to put up with beginner's mistakes, I would like to do this.

[transwarped]

Aye, that's the state of it. Have a name, laddie?

[ Color her interested. ]

I would like to.

[too busy multitasking for texting k]

Brilliant. Any background in the subject?

(voice.)

[carbonite]

You're going to let a bunch of amateurs touch the ship's engines.

This ship's engines.

[transwarped]

[And now a choice. An honest answer on the exact level of testing and supervision....or trolling.

Hm. Decisions, decisions.]

Oh, aye. There's no learning like sink or swim, is there?

[alaspooryork]

My knowledge is primarily theoretical and of systems rather different from this in scope. However, I am familiar with the basic concepts embodied by this ship; I have not yet chosen a section with which to operate.

[transwarped]

Aye, we're all on a wee touch of a learning curve. Scarce a dilithium crystal in sight. But if you're yet unaffiliated, let me assure you there's hardly a nobler cause than keeping this old girl held together.

voice; heavy Russian accent

[inwents]

I vould like to wolunteer, sir!

:3

[transwarped]

Mr. Chekov, it'd be a pleasure to have you along. You recall the general ins and outs of the Enterprise's engines, do you?

voice.

[xwing]

I think we talked a bit about it earlier, but I'd be happy to help out. And I think we've already established that I'm interested in the differences in technology that we're accustomed to.

.. Also, you'll have to pardon Han. He's, ah, very opinionated.

[transwarped]

The more the merrier, Mr. Skywalker. And no need to be apologizing for company kept. If it were I imagine us from the Enterprise wouldn't have time left for much else in the day.

[foolproofed]

[Maaaaan. He stares at this for like an hour while warily eating out of a can. Humph. Well, what, it's not like something tremendously bad would come out of this deal.] I was studying in the field back home, before... y'know... all this. And it was even in the 21st century, where we had spaceships and sliding doors and all that voodoo.

So if you got room, I'm totally game.

[transwarped]

[Well, when you mention that century he really can't do anything but ask...]

Twenty first century? By any chance, would you be a witness of the good Zefram Cochrane's work, then?

[firstofficer]

Mister Scott. [ there's a nod of acknowledgement that comes with the address, but at least there's a little less of his rigid formality. ]

I presume you have received a number of volunteers thus far?

[transwarped]

Aye, Mr. Spock. A fair sound to hear, to be certain. Don't suppose you've taken an interest yourself?

[enforced]

How is the upkeep going?

[transwarped]

As well as can be expected, given the rather unconventional method of supply delivery we've got.

[IE: none, except for salvage.]

Don't fancy we'll be suffocating or wandering about in the dark just yet, in any case.

[makedo]

I can fix a bike. Might as well learn how to fix a fucking spaceship. [ it'll be something to do in the hours that he should be asleep but isn't. ]

[transwarped]

That's the spirit. One of those'll transport you to far more interesting places, in any case.

[memorari]

[ she responds with video because she likes it more. ]

If you're not already overwhelmed, I'd like to toss my hat in. [ the brightest, widest grin that ever was. ] I'm a comms girl through and through, but I'd really like to expand my skill-set.

perma voice

[transwarped]

[Still on voice here, but off camera he's grinning. Turning them to the dark side of departments, one by one.]

Knowing the ins and outs of the system's a fine skill for any soul- never know when those comms'll need a quick re-wiring. And you needn't concern yourself over overwhelming us. It make take some doing, but I've seen my time stretched thinner.

[assumedposition]

[A somewhat familiar young face pops up on the screen. That teenage kid in all the crazy patterned clothes who keeps popping up in Engineering for the past couple months. Albert or something or other...]

Hello, Mr. Scott! [He waves cheerfully.] Have you had any interest yet?

[transwarped]

A few bites, aye. Not too surprising, I should think. Hard to resist learning something of mechanical work combined with such a charming voice advertising the opportunity.

voice;

[leaps]

How many are you hoping for?

[transwarped]

As many as I can gather, Mr. Sulu. Can't have too many redundancies in this peculiar level of hell we've all landed ourselves in.

[Also more than security. It is so bad to want everyone to know Engineering is the bell of the ball?]

[puppydogeyes]

You're Scotty?

voice forever

[transwarped]

Aye, I'd be the man. Has my reputation proceeded me once again?

voice;

[goldshirt]

Already working on recruits— you never waste any time.

[legitimately something he appreciates about you, Scotty]

[transwarped]

No time like the present to make certain you lot shan't end up floating unaided through space, captain.

[aka in case he and the rest of the real engineers vanish (again). This ship apparently has already send him back once and all.

But on a cheerier note.]

And a man needs a wee ensign or two to fetch him his meals, in any case.

[unparental]

That's another one for the list.

[ jenna has a list of people who will be at fault when the ship blows up

it's affectionate, really. ]

voice

[transwarped]

Of the dashingly handsome, brilliant minded type aboard?

[It's joking optimism. Mostly]
