<em>"Is it the EEH thats troubling you?"</em><br/><br/>Liara pulled her hands from her face, looking over at the Chief Engineer with a sheepish grin and mildly bloodshot eyes.  She sighed again as Dun settled in next to her leaning against the wall.  She let out a little bit of a chuckled which made her chest bounce.  Her head fell back against the wall as the remainder of the laugh escaped her mouth.  "Oh by the prophets no!  Honestly, and with all due respect, I find the idea of an EEH insulting.  I understand the need for an EMH in the case that a doctor is overwhelmed with casualties or dead.  But an EEH?  Commander La Forge never needed one, Chief O'Brien thought they were a joke, and I'm sure the great Montgomery Scott would have laughed the damn things out and airlock."<br/><br/>She sighed again staring down at the floor, gathering her thoughts.  Looking back at him, her eyes looking a bit less bright than earlier that day.  "I think I was overwhelmed with so much conjecture and assumptions based on limited data.  In the academy we had to work out problems based on limited data, but these were Engineering problems with very clean logical outcomes.  Yes there is as much art involved as there is science, but wild conjecture based on limited facts or even no facts drives me mad."  She ran her fingers through her hair and looked up at Dun.  "I want to be the best Engineer that you've ever worked with, but I need facts to fix problems.  I know sometimes we have to work with limited data and I'm ok with that, but if we are not under fire or whatever, and we have time to be careful and meticulous, I can give you a better result."<br/><br/>She stopped for a minute, stood up straight and wiped her face.  "I'm sorry I rushed out like that, but the ego's and the arrogance in that room were starting to overwhelm me.  I'm ok now and if you'd like me to return with you I will."  She smiled a bit brighter this time.
