Actually, I just PMed Ember with a suggestion...<br/><br/>On a modern warship like a carrier, there are about a thousand crew, many of whom have at least two jobs. An aircraft carrier is a small floating city, and actually has shops and restaurants on board. And it has staff who man those shops. But if the ship goes to combat alert, the shops close and the shopkeepers take on their other roles, which might be damage control or lookout, or manning a machine gun... The same applies to the guy who mops the decks and empties the litter bins... In an emergency his job might well be helping to carry wounded, or fight fires...<br/><br/>About the only people who don't have different jobs are the officers and "ground crews" for the aircraft, and the grease monkeys down in engineering...<br/><br/>The fact that there are three people to do almost every essential job that is required at normal watch stations means that there are more people to do those same jobs at battle stations...<br/><br/>So, what I'm getting a is that Chief Par's main job would be transporter chief, but she would also stand a watch in the engine roon or on the bridge, or at a security station... At battle stations, her post would be in Transporter Room One.
