<em>[Assuming time syncs up with meeting the Intrepid, etc...]</em><br/><br/>Val was still working on the problem of shielding people from Chronotons after the hoopla with the EEH and the young woman storming out with the Chief Engineer after her like he was her long lost dad or something.  He sighed to himself, such behavior was...  Not promising and he enjoyed heated emotional conflict as much as the next Andorean but there was a time and a place.  Then there was the fact that she obviously had a problem with the hologram being used and that was plainly bad form to show it so brilliantly in front of senior staff.  Why would the chief go after her like that?  He knew he was low man on the totem pole but by the ice of the winters of his homeworld he would never display such blatant disrespect for senior officers as she did.<br/><br/>At any rate, he'd come up with a few ideas and wanted an engineer to run them past...  "Computer, is the EEH active?"
