It had been a very full couple of days for Bohb. After some work throughout the ship he was able to get the propulsion system completely back online. By the time the engineers from the Protector came into the engine room he had most of the hard work really
taken care of. The rest was just structural, and replacing burned out areas that he had already bypassed. </div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
For nearly an hour they went through his work asking what he had done and how he had done it, and even why he had done it that way. By the time they had finished he was ready to pull somebodies arms and legs off. But he had already learned that in Star Fleet
that was not acceptable behavior. He did not want another round of cultural sensitivity training. So he held his temper in check. That was until they attempted to access the Illuminator’s computer system for modifications. That was when he drew the line.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
“Our computer system does NOT need your modifications,” he had said adamantly.</div>

“But… but …” was all the engineer got out.</div>

“What part of no do you not understand,” Bohb had pulled himself up to his full height creating his best aggressive primate stance. </div>

The engineer finally backed down and left main engineering with a jeer of, “Commander Nesmith will hear about this.”</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
“I’ll be disappointed if he didn’t,” Bohb shot back.</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The rest of the help they provided was nice. He could have taken care of it eventually, but they did complete the body damage to the Illuminar in record time. </div>

Suddenly the captain’s voice broke his thoughts with an announcement over the comm system. ~So like his father.~ </div>

<div>“Bohb here, son… Captain,” he caught himself from being to familiar, “warp drive is fully repaired, and ready to go. All systems are at full power. If that changes, I’ll get there in no time.”</div>
