Cassidy fiddled with a port on his mechanical arm, feeling the irritation boil in his stomach. The sheer arrogance of this Mr. Tomer was nearly too much to bear. He smirked openly as the Engineering midshipman fired back, enjoying the way that the Trill’s handsome features twisted with contempt.
“With all due respect,” Cassidy’s low voice rumbled through gritted teeth. He had practiced that phrase often. “I wouldn’t let you tell me how to run my operating room, and I doubt the captain will let you run her mission. Unless you have any further information for us, I think we all have important preparations to complete.”
Cassidy shifted impatiently in his seat, turning to the other officers.
“Jadaris, let me know if you need any help modifying the Glennis. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything as big as a shuttle, but I’m still pretty good with a hyperspanner.”
In truth, Cassidy had spent many hours working on shuttles. His father made a hobby of salvaging them and fixing them up in his spare time. Some of Cassidy’s earliest memories were of holding a light while his father muttered curses at a loose panel plate. As he got older, he played a more active role in the repairs. It didn’t give him the same satisfaction that it seemed to give his father, but he enjoyed the time together. The thought made him a bit homesick.
