After Bren had assigned tasks to both the lieutenants Gustav turned to
Reese and "asked how many engineers do you think you will need to help
you get the decks up and running?"
"I'm thinking I'll need at least twenty engineers." Jade said looking
through the decks it wasn't looking that bad, but it'll still take
some time.
"OK I'll send them to help anyway they can.... you mentioned as well
about helping decode Romulan messages faster like I said before I'm no
expert at that but if it has something to do with hard ware and
programming I'm sure I can help".
"Yes and no being able to break Romulan code faster would also help,
but I was thinking more of breaking a communications jamming." Jade
said, "here are some ideas that I was thinking of." Jade said handing
him a PADD.
"I think I can mange that" Gustav said referring to the engineers,
looking over the rough plans on the PADD Gustav saw the potential of
what Reese had planned and figured that he would be able to help,
"Well I think the plans are still a little vague at the moment from an
engineering standpoint but when you have some solid plans for me and
my engineers we'll be sure to make it a priority".
"Sounds good and thanks for your help. I'll have some more time to
work on it once we get the Chimera up and running." Jade said grinning
slightly. Jade then looked over the new list of the engineers and she
realized that she had a few ops specialists to run diagnostics after
the engineers get the EPS relays up and running.
"Anyway before I get started here I'm going to try and get the
replicators in the mess hall calibrated as I'm famished, your welcome
to join me if you want it should only take me about 10 minutes to get
at least one working properly?".
"Uh sure I could use some food before I get to work." Jade said
following Gustav.
Before going to the mess hall Gustav picked up an engineering kit as
well as the only piece of personal equipment that he managed to save
from the Chimera – B before it's destruction....his modified PADD that
links to replicators and is loaded with a bunch of decent recipes.
As soon as the two arrived at the mess hall Gustav headed to a
replicator and removed the service panel and started working on the
fine calibration's, asking Jade to pass him tools when he needed them,
after about 7 minutes he was done.
Gustav linked his PADD to the replicator and picked what he wanted,
some seafood gumbo from new Orleans as well as a cup off coffee made
with finely roasted Kenyan beans, looking back at Reese Gustav noticed
her giving him and the PADD a funny look "I modified this PADD when I
was at the academy, I was never a fan of there replicated food and I
didn't see the point of sitting for hours programing recipes into the
replicators every time I went somewhere new" he said explaining why he
had the PADD "feel free to use it but please don't tell everyone about
it" he added moving away from the replicator and heading towards a
table.
"Ah." Jade said taking the PADD and looking over the menu she hit a
few buttons ordering a small egg omelet and coffee. Jade sat there
eating in silence watching Gustav she used this tactic a lot when
dealing with new people she always felt that she could learn more
about them this way then by talking, but not everything.
