"Ah," the captain replied with a sympathetic look. "We can't have any under caffeinated engineers on this ship. It just won't do." She then pointed out a replicator that he felt a little ashamed he hadn't noticed at the rear of the bridge, but then confided that it didn't always work right and directed him to the briefing room.
"I'll see about getting someone up here to look at it," he told her with a wink. "If we can't fix it, I'll get a new unit installed next time we're in dock." He stepped out to the briefing room for a moment, and returned with a steaming cup in his hand and, if not a smile, then at least a decidedly content look on his face.
A quick look around noticed another face in the room, also wearing tactical red. He recognized her from the briefing last night, though he didn't have a name to go with her face. He nodded a greeting and resumed his seat as medical checked in.
He'd had time to look at his diagnostic program and note it's progress when the captain spoke up again. "Commander Omdor," she said with the briefest of looks as she monitored the check-in process, "can I assume that you had adequate time prior to recall to become acquainted with the Vesta class and her systems?"
For a moment, he felt a little called out, before remembering that she had been back in command of the ship for less than twelve hours. Between the incredible drama that had sideswiped her at that briefing, along with having to procure a new first officer and hopefully getting some form of food, sleep, and a shower in there somewhere, he reasoned that reading the jacket of a chief engineer she had been saddled with wasn't exactly a priority for her.
He covered his flash of annoyance and the hesitation with a pull from his coffee, letting the very strong and very hot drink focus him as he answered. "You could say that," he said. "Spent the last several years building two of them a year at the shipyards near Vulcan. Happened to be back home for some R&R when Captain Givens very politely dragooned me to fill in for this mission. Every one is just a little bit different," he said, "but I can get by until I learn Artemis' little quirks."
