Heh... So is it safe to say that I haven't gotten anything stolen yet? Or is that going to warrant things thrown at me in disgust? I mean, it could very well be possible that I haven't noticed anything missing

Anything but Starfleet protein nibs. Anything. If I never have to look at a Starfleet protein nib again I will die a happy man.

Ugh, I know exactly what you're talking about. That along with the basic food rations are horrible. I think I lost quite a bit of weight when that was pretty much my diet for about a year. No wonder you seem so happy whenever I see you in the cafeteria, Mr. Scott!

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

A year? I don't envy you one bit. At least I only had to endure it for six months.

[goldenpilot]

Heheh, well, many don't know this, but I was a bit of a daredevil right after I graduated Star Fleet Academy and bounced all around doing various transport missions nonstop. After about a year I got really burnt out (and apparently quite hungry!) and settled for more stable piloting jobs before I was offered this position.

I think it was a good thing you were stationed for only 6 months; you were able to leave before you went stir crazy.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

If it hadn't been for the captain, I'd still be stuck back there.

At least I shouldn't have to worry about that cabin fever Doctor Dehner's been talking about. If I could survive six months on Delta Vega with no one but Keenser to talk to, I'm sure I can survive on a starship.

[goldenpilot]

Hm, very true! I probably would've lost my mind if I did the same thing day in and day out and only saw a couple people.... wait. That sounds eerily like what I'm doing here now! Hahah, I'm only kidding, of course.

I'm quite content here, and I'm sure a mission or something will happen to stir things up. It sounds to me you live to be an engineer (such passion is duly noted!), so I can't see you getting bored anytime soon :)

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

You can have your mission, lass, so long as you don't go damaging the ship.

Though, knowing the captain, I'll be looking at a month's worth of repairs two hours into the next mission.

[goldenpilot]

Oh, you know me and Mr. Sulu, doing loop-de-loops, barrel rolls, haphazardly using the warp drive and exhausting the engines. It's how do our job here!

I say that all in jest of course!

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Now, lass, that's not very nice, even for a joke.

[goldenpilot]

I forget that text words don't express word infliction, but you should know by now that I'm not to be taken seriously!

You know we'd never do that on purpose

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

[If only she could see the pained look on his face.]

I know that, lass, but... It's just the thought of it, the poor ship being mistreated like that... Why, it's almost more than a man can bear!

[goldenpilot]

[OOC: Mars didn't mean to insult Scotty's girlfriend XD]

Mm, maybe... but, don't worry! Really, we try our best.

Mr. Scott, how often are you NOT in the boiler rooms and the inner workings of the ship?

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

[ooc: He's going to cry himself to sleep tonight. XD]

Often enough. A man's got to sleep, after all.

[goldenpilot]

Just as I thought. You should step out a teeny tiny bit more often. I think the only time I actually see you, other than when you were at the party, is when you're grabbing some food to return back there.

Even the captain takes time off the bridge.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I go out every once in a while. Why, just the other day I was up on Deck Nine, fixing up the lights, which have absolutely nothing to do with the engine room.

[OOC: that icon is priceless and fits perfectly for the reply. Ah, Simon Pegg <3]

Hm, ok, let me try asking you this: What do you like to do for fun, or on your free time, Mr. Scott?
