<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/db/Andoran_Female_portrait_150x200.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Chief Petty Officer Par (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/KalinaPar_zh%27Yor)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Engineering Station One, moving to helm.<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Mid Morning<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Ensign Maira Snowpaw, Captain Lyra Core, Open to bridge officers & crew.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The Andorian turned her head as the human female began some sort of ranting monologue. Except it wasn't. The woman was having a conversation with someone. Par had seen the Navaho woman around a few times, and noticed how everyone tended to avoid her. Par had heard her have similar apparently one-sided conversations in the past, too, and had found them curious. But she had not, until now, heard the other participant in the conversation actually named.<br/><br/>Par decided right at that moment that she was going to speak to the ensign. She just needed an excuse. No one was watching her, and she was pretty sure she could pull it off. Most Starfleet systems were modular, and while the circuitry on the transporter grid was way more complex that the ship's helm, they shared a good deal of components. This was why she was able to sit engineering watch on the bridge - about the only thing more complex than the transporter was the warp drive. Par quickly checked the forward scans to make sure they weren't going to hit anything in the next few seconds, and tapped a small sequence of buttons.<br/><br/>The helm console lit up red as a power relay blew suddenly, sparks flying out of the side away from Maira's legs. The back-up instantly cut in and the console turned green again, with a single red light indicating that it was on a back-up power relay.<br/><br/>"Ahhh! I've got it, I'm on it!" The Andorian Engineer dived for the replicator, and quickly dialled up a replacement relay. She trotted to the helm console and squatted down to pull the fried component. Glancing up at the lady helmsman, she smiled a warm blue smile. "Do you mind if I ask who it is you're talking to?" she asked softly. The human outranked her, but not by much, and she didn't see the harm in being friendly. "I've heard you talking to someone who wasn't there before. It's kinda weird, but kinda cure too!"
