(USS Illuminar - Deck 11 - Engineering - Engineers Mate Peter Preston -
0900)

Peter was still counting his lucky stars.  He drew the USS Illuminar for
his first year cruise, in Engineering no less.  His first choice.  He
had stowed his gear in the cabin he was sharing with three other
cadets.  It was going to be an adventure, applying everything he had
learned this year.  Equations and schematics danced in his head.

With the eagerness of a greyhound in the slip, he made his way down to
Engineering.

As he entered the space, he was struck by the warp core, which dominated
the center of the space.  As he gawked, he heard someone call out.

"Hey kid.  Quit drooling on the floor."

Peter snapped out of it and looked around, "Uh.. Sorry.  Engineer's Mate
Preston, reporting for duty," he said to no-one in particular.

A couple of the figures looked over at Peter.  One of them stood up and
smiled, "Hello Engineer's Mate Preston.  I'm Geoffries," the man said.
"Your first time in the Engineering room of a starship."

He nodded, "Yes, this is my first cruise.  I'm very eager to learn."

Another fellow chuckled as he walked over.  "Great Preston.  That's the
attitude we like to hear in Engineering.  You ready to get to work?"

"Yes sir," he replied.  "Ready, willing and able."

"Perfect.  First thing to do is to learn the ship.  Where everything is
so that when you are sent someplace, you know right where to go.  Got it?"

"I memorized the plans of the ship when I got my assignment."

The two men looked at each other and smiled. "Perfect.  That's the
spirit Preston."

"OK, I need you to go to the shuttlebay.  Ask for Buckaroo.  He's the
shuttle engineer.  Tell him I need my oscillation overthruster back."

"I've not heard of a oscillation overthruster before" Peter said.

"Of course not, Preston. It's a new tool specifically designed for our
new engines see. Its part of an experimental matter displacement system
we're testing out.  If you're lucky, you can get on that project."

"Right away. I'll go get that oscillation overthruster."

Preston turned around and started heading to the door.  He was still
looking around, not paying any attention to where he was going when he
ran into someone or something and took a tumble, head first.  He jumped
up and turned around. "Sorry." he said.
