Engineering - Day 31 - Open
Engineering was a big place alright. Keenser had shimmied his way up pipes and ladders to settle in a high spot with a good view of the whole room. This was a far cry from the scrapheaps he'd worked with on Delta Vega--these were shiny. The advanced machinery that kept this Galaxy-class starship running like the champ she was was nothing to be sneezed at, but the aesthetics were almost a bit over the top. A guy had to wear sunglasses to get any work around here. Where was all that glare coming from anyway?
Ah well. Soldier on and be especially careful not to spill crumbs all over the place. Getting settled in quickly after taking a personal vacation was a necessary task, and there was no better way to do it than with a sandwich in hand and a nice view while eating. Sure, Scotty would most likely be around later to chase him down and possibly steal his lunch--Keenser had slaved over a hot replicator for that, too--but it was pretty quiet for the moment.
Almost...Too quiet. Even the basic temperature control in the Starfleet base on Delta Vega had seemed noisier than the entire engine room aboard the Enterprise. Keenser had almost forgotten than engines could even be this efficient. Nice.
