Mk 1 : Intra-ship - video

[aes_thetic]

So. Who the hell do I talk to around here about getting a job in the...uh. Engineering section.

Because they wear spiffy yellow shirts. Which is kind of my color. Mostly. I usually prefer some red splashed in there, but I'll forego the highlights if I can get the job.

Bee-Tee-Dubs, yes I blew out the lights on Deck 4 two days ago. No, it wasn't my fault, I swear. Hot Forehead Chick distracted me. And also she had some weird taser thing, I'm still not 100% convinced she didn't blow out the deck just to prove me wrong.

[voice, to the entire ship.]

How did you get that video to work? I do not see any way to do that from where I am.

While I do not know about the local hiring procedures, I do doubt that blowing out all the lights on an entire deck is exactly a stellar introduction to them.

[aes_thetic]

Uh. Just pushed the button. On the console. There's voice and video options. Hi.

As for my intro...I am fine with 'less than stellar' just so long as it's recognized that I'm good at what I do. I've spent forty-eight hours getting my specs up to snuff, I think I've got the hang of it now.

[still voice, but with the Universal Translator off.]

[senkan_yamato]

I do not think I have pushed the correct button. This is most vexing.

...did you use any of that time for sleep perchance? Forty-eight hours is not very long at all, especially for familiarizing yourself with a ship and it's systems.

Who needs a universal translator?

[aes_thetic]

That sounds like a personal problem, sweetheart. I'd offer to help, but then you might be cranky with me for no reason.

And I got sleep. Really.

[He totally didn't.]

Well someone who doesn't speak english very well.

[senkan_yamato]

I would not be cranky with you for no reason. I simply do not understand why these 'touch screens' are used for so many things. Real buttons are far more tactile and easier to tell apart.

If you say so. You are certain in your abilities, so I suppose I can say little to dissuade you.

[The Doctor is tugging at his earlobe, clearly looking lost in thought over the matter.]

I dunno who to contact, but I don't think the deck is completely gone. Saw a couple people moving about not long ago and fixing things.

Have you been able to access many records of the ship? I think plenty of items have been encrypted or deleted for us. Just a hunch.

[video]

[aes_thetic]

Just a little. I did sweet talk the lovely computer into giving me a run-down of the size and shape of the ship. Mainly through her letting me know where I can't go. Which is pretty much everywhere. And I think I got a little bit of lip from her when I tricked her into revealing that.

I love a sassy computer, I think I'll call her Natasha.

[nevermindtherunning]

[The Doctor couldn't help to laugh at the naming of the computer.]

I found first hand where I wasn't suppose to be. I don't sleep much, so kept up my explorations going until I was kicked out of -- well -- everything, really. Didn't get a proper look at the engines, as they ran me off pretty quickly.

[aes_thetic]

Nnnngh don't get me started on the engines.

Because I really, really, really wanna get started on the engines.

[nevermindtherunning]

Ohh-ho-ho! Me too!

[There were far to many things the Doctor wanted to get a hand on, actually. Really, it was unfair.]

I'm the Doctor. I see you must be a fellow engineer at heart.

[spoiledegg]

Send the captain a communiqué, I'm sure she'll be accommodating.

Text; lol you little troll, well played

[aes_thetic]

Seriously considering it, actually. I mean, there's got to be a practical test I can take and prove that I'm better than blowing out the lights.

Text;

[spoiledegg]

No doubt you'll pass with flying colors.

[The feed opens and there is a very nonplussed redhead with her hair in a simple chignon staring back at Tony, arms crossed.]

So YOU'RE the one responsible for the lovely blackout whilst I was bang slap in the middle of showering the other day; bloody well near slipped and broke my neck.

Well done.

[A beat.]

Oh, and as for trying out for a job in...engineering, was it? Perhaps you'd better rethink that. [Smirk.]

[video]

[aes_thetic]

If the lights going out in the shower causes you to slip, you should stop doing the Macarena in the shower. Just a suggestion.

Hey, everything was going fine until HFC threw off my mojo.

[condemned_copper]

[Now the folded arms went to her hips, one hand resting on each as she canted her head to one side, lips pursing in further dismay.]

Very funny. And 'mojo'...what kind are we talking about? The kind of 'mojo' that leads an absolute novice on this ship to be tinkering about with things you've no business tinkering? --Oh, no. Sorry. I think that's called 'hubris'.

[A slow, amused smirk.]

[aes_thetic]

'I Think That's Called Hubris' is the name of my next album.

PS: Not a novice. Not even close.

[condemned_copper]

[Her eyeroll can't be more epic than it is right at this moment.]

PPS: I would think ALL of us are. Novices, that is. Unless, you consider yourself amongst the original crew. And if that's the case, where's your uniform?

Hot Forehead Chick? You mean the one with the odd-looking forehead? I think she may be of mixed species, but I'm not positive. She is rather tough and a little abrasive, yeah.

[Kinda reminds me of Mara a little bit, really.]

It's good we have a few around here who know something about the electrical stuff. I mean, I inherited a knack from my dad, and I know a few things, but I'm no expert. Hopefully you know a lot more.

[aes_thetic]

I mean Hot Forehead Chick. She's got this amazing sort of angry hot going on. I'm into it, in the right mood. And I'm all for abrasive. Hell, I'm abrasive. I might as well get a Brillo pad tattooed on my ass.

Inheriting knacks from fathers? You don't say. Gee, that sounds so unfamiliar, I want to puke.

[farmboyjedi]

[Maybe a little like Han too. He can be abrasive sometimes, at least on the outside.]

Don't worry, I'm kind of used to that sort of thing. You ought to be around my wife when she's angry. Or my brother-in-law. I'm not too phased by abrasive anymore.

Sounds like it's common where you come from. But then, I guess it would be in quite a few places since we all get stuff from our parents.

[notalwaysstrong]

So, I should be thinking twice about lettin' ya dick around with our environmental controls?

[It's fine, Tony. Some nice Starfleet people came and fixed the snow.]

[aes_thetic]

Depends. Can you keep Hot Forehead Chick away while I figure it out?

Because she's messed up my mojo.

[notalwaysstrong]

I don't even know who hot forehead chick is.

[aes_thetic]

You'll know her when you see her, friendo. Because she's hot. And she's rocking one hell of a forehead.
