As Ktan entered the Science Labs, he was shocked by how. . . populated it was. A whole five weeks of night shifts had allowed him to grow comfortable with dimmed lights and hushed voices, quiet conversations in corners over a caffeinated beverage and silent research. The most action they ever had was the occassional tweak to the sensor array, routine tasks they often shared with engineering and that were, typically, non-critical. Any important repairs were handled as soon as problems presented themselves, which was typically during the day shift.
Now, rather than a safe haven for nocturnally inclined officers like Ktan, he found a laboratory buzzing with activity. Five weeks of travel time meant endless opportunities to press forward on pet projects. Even with the survey mission now officially underway, no one seemed to be bothered by putting extra time into the lab for whatever experiments they had running. It was a bit of a mad house, despite its small size.
There seemed to be a bit of commotion regarding their current mission, but as Ktan hadn't been briefed, he wasn't sure where he was needed.
Being the junior-most officer on the team, Ktan didn't immediately look for somewhere to take charge. His training in the Kzinti military and Starfleet Academy cautioned him against that mistake. Enlistedmen didn't like young officers who acted high and mighty.
Instead, he sought out his own senior officer, looking for orders.
In this case, that meant Lieutenant Papaver, as Commander Qi was on bridge duty.
"Lieutenant," Ktan said, doing his best not to look intimidating, despite their height disparity. "The away mission is complete. How can I be of assistance?"
