The engineering console was dark despite one of Gamma shift's engineers working underneath the console. Looking more closely would reveal the engineer talking to someone over comms, but within a minute, the console began to reboot.
"Console's online sir, what was the problem?"
The sound of Commander Jadaris's voice came through the commbadge,
"Bridge-Engineering linkage via conduit A-17 was insufficiently shielded against EM interference from the EPS conduit. I used a polyalloy sheath to insulate the linkages further but keep them accessible for future maintenance."
The engineer tapped at the console, verifying its operative status, before saying,
"Station's ready Sir, thanks for the help."
"No problem Petty Officer. Always glad to help my fellow engineers."
The engineer went into the turbolift, and a few moments later, out of the briefing room doors came Jadaris, presumably from the service tube that led out of where he was working. Jadaris went over to his station and signed into it, before tapping at the display to give him precise numerical readings of the ship's systems. Given the Yeager was right in between the two extremes of what he had been the Chief Engineer previously, he hoped this ship wouldn't give him as much trouble. Given his need to duck all the time on the Magellan, Jadaris was happy that he wasn't running into bulkheads all the time aboard this ship.
He turned to look at Jensen and Jenny,
"Engineering is ready Sir. All systems within operational margins."
Of course, that only lasted so long as the system wasn't overly stressed, which inevitably would happen because the universe hated a perfectly functional ship.
