In the quieter times when no single task was particularly urgent, it was nice to take a moment to enjoy the sounds of everything running smoothly; the blessed absence of shouted arguments and wailing sirens. They were still a little short-handed - another ten engineers would be perfect, but at a pinch he'd happily settle for four - but everything was ticking over nicely. And in good time for the next mission too.
Just coming off the end of a shift - and things were going so well he'd even been able to go from two shifts a day down to just the one - Scotty stopped off at the ready room on his way out of the department to pour himself a cup of coffee. Coffee, shower, sleep. That sounded like an excellent plan.
