Still not quite there..
[Zirhut to Hydish. Modifications to the port nacelle are finished.]
[Laate here. Starboard nacelle’s ready too.]
[Barkley to Chief. Impulse is good to go.]
Altairi began to fiddle with the display, projections of the Yeager rendering one after the other. He wouldn't be winning any medals for his disguise work, but hopefully it would keep prying eyes from prying too eagerly.
A whoosh sounded in the direction of the bay's entrance, followed by a voice.
"Sir Midshipman Turner reporting back from my away mission. Where do you need me?"
It took the chief a moment to turn around and acknowledge Turner. A final burst of keypresses dotted his console. "Right, uh-"
The intercom awoke and clamped its hand around Altairi's mouth.
[Jensen to Science and Engineering. I need cargo bay one cleared and made suitable for the maintenence of a hundred active cryo pods. Feel free to stack if needed, just no playing Jenga if it can be avoided]
Just as he was about to stand up and start giving out assignments, another order from above came in through his comm badge. Altairi let out a sigh and bit his lip.
[Braggins to Hydish, report to Transporter Room One with your engineering kit immediately.]
He took a moment to process that, then another to wait for more orders. Once satisfied with the silence, he faced Turner. "I'm putting you in charge of clearing the cargo bay. Bring Johnson and Thar with you. If you have any concerns, bring them to Lieutenant Elliot first, then me."
Altairi briefly locked eyes with the midshipman, and couldn't help thinking about his first Chief Engineer-- that grumpy Caitian who'd sent him aboard the Tesla's wreck. He hadn't been ready for that experience. He only hoped Turner was ready for this one.
Command isn't so hard, is it? He had to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
[Hydish to Braggins,] he tapped his comm badge. [On my way.] And with a final survey of the department, Altairi set out for an equipment rack, then for the door.
