Raven Reyes reporting from Engineering.

re: THE HALLWAY ODDITIES - Nothing new to report since Fitz's update, and in this case no news is good news. Looks like we're just getting a little more space, lights and vital systems booting up a few yards farther out each day. When the other shoe drops, we'll be the first to know and we'll make sure you're the second.

re: SUITS & SHUTTLES 101 - I'm still ready and willing to dish out lessons on how to use the suits and shuttles down in the Bay, in case (worst case scenario) part of the ship loses pressure or needs to evacuate. Better safe than sorry, etc. Just let me know. As for gunnery, that's all Jax.

re: ENGINEERING - We're a little more comfortable with the recruits we pulled in just before the last jump, but I'm looking to sign on a few more so my engineers can get more than six hours of sleep between shifts.

machines
mechanics
computers
repairs
building shit
scrapping shit for parts
digging through scrap like it's treasure
multitasking
sitting on your ass while someone else gets a work-out
getting a work-out while someone else sits on their ass
keeping people alive
inflating your ego

If any of the above listed things interest you and you're not already in a department, consider throwing your lot in with Engineering. We've even got a mascot.

Which reminds me.

re: THE TICKLISH CUBE OF FLESH - Couple of months ago, I got an unnerving flesh cube in my locker. Some of you have asked about it since. Yeah, I've still got it. It's Engineering's resident freak of nature. Sits at my desk whenever I'm on the monitors.

That's it.

[ now for the real reason this post is a thing: all current members of engineering and/or individuals who might want to be a member of engineering should definitely take a look at this page. it has information on the department from a technical standpoint and a daily-life standpoint, plus there's a little thing at the bottom to fill out so we can all handwave like motherfuckers.

EDIT: I'm so sorry for the unanimous wait re: tagbacks on this, I got two group presentations sprung on me this week ahaha weeps. ]

Has it ever been necessary to evacuate before?

assuming text?

[regulatingpressure]

Not so far, but we've had quite a few firsts lately.

Oops yes!

[undyingbeliefs]

May I ask what firsts you're referring to?

[regulatingpressure]

First contact from the outside. First time the ship powered down between jumps. First change (as far as I know) in the empty halls.

To name a few.

I work with security, but I know my way around a computer and basic mechanical repair. I can help out on my days off, if you want.

encouragment texts

[righteously]

I can vouch for him. Taught him everything he knows about repairing engines and crap. He's no me, but he's pretty good.

The computer geek thing he learned himself on friday nights alone with Palmela and her five friends.

[regulatingpressure]

And here we almost hit 24 hours without talking about somebody jerking off.

[righteously]

right? that would've been a tragedy. you're welcome.

[regulatingpressure]

That'd be great. [ she definitely sounds appreciative there. ] When can you drop by? I'll give you the run-down.

[familybusiness]

I have the day off today. I can swing by in a couple of hours if you want?

Here's hoping you never use your profound powers of deduction for evil.

[doggedly]

dyou see those rather large spaces beteween 'mascot' and 'which reminds me' and 'cube of flesh'


dont act as if you connected those thoughts so very clearly
your mascot could be anyone & anything
i mean theres always fitz

[trynotodie]

i think i can swing a few more hours down to engineering if you need more hands.

[because it's not like you're already running a department or anything, jasper.]

text.

[regulatingpressure]

You're busy enough already. Appreciate the offer, but we'll be fine with what you're putting in as it is.

[trynotodie]

if you're sure. need any help drumming up more recruits? maybe bring out monty's special recipe and sign up some people while they're halfway gone?

[not actually the worst bad business practice he's thought of to shanghai people into joining departments. at least this one doesn't involve small explosions.]

[foolproofed]

"building shit" is too linear okay

i can build some pretty horrible shit that is not at all helpful to the cause

but if you'd like i can work on the repairs and computers. i've been keeping my eyes on any malfunctions with the doors or locking systems, just in case the ship goes crazy as hell and tries anything weird

[text.]

[regulatingpressure]

Well yeah, but if you can build horrible shit you can probably build useful shit too.

If you want to pull regular shifts, that would definitely be a help.

[text.]

[foolproofed]

i can pull regular shifts.

i'm good for maitenance, making sure things stay the way they're supposed to be

so you can get you and your posse can get your beauty sleep

[de_void]

i hate waiting for the other shoe to drop, just so you know.

text.

[regulatingpressure]

That makes two of us.

[de_void]

you should name the cube of flesh.

[conversation 180 is a go.]

text;

[bespectacle]

That's odd.

The cube I mean.

Would you mind if I had a go transfiguring out?

text;

[regulatingpressure]

Transfiguring out of where?

[bespectacle]

Oh

sorry boss that was a typo. Transfiguring it. It. Into something else and see how it takes it
