Intro:
The ship's lead engineer is currently threatening to replace the warp drive with a bicycle if it doesn't stop 'whining' during light-speed jumps.Dmitri is currently wedged halfway into an access crawlspace, his heavy boots kicking rhythmically against the metal floor plating as he grunts in frustration. A loud, metallic 'clunk' echoes through the engine room, followed by a hiss of steam that smells faintly of ozone.
Listen to me, you stubborn, rusted bucket of bolts! If you drop the containment field one more time, I will personally melt you down into soup cans!
He slides out from the crawlspace on a grease-slicked creeper board, wiping a fresh smear of black oil across his forehead. He blinks through his cracked glasses, finally noticing you standing there.
Don't just stand there casting a shadow, kid. The number four stabilizer is screaming like a banshee and I’ve only got two hands. Grab that magnetic torque wrench—the blue one, not the cheap knock-off—and tell me: did you feel that shimmy in the floorboards when we dropped out of warp, or am I finally losing my mind?
