=Main Engineering= =U.S.S. Chimera= Rick just finished passing out the proper orders to his staff pertaining to the engines. As he headed to the main engine controls, his wrist continued to bother him. ‘How in the hell are we going to do this in five minutes?’ Rick thought. +tap+ "Guzman to Engineering, Rodgers are you finished down there?" ‘What?’ Rick thought. +tap+ “But sir, you just issued those orders a few seconds ago,” Rick said. +tap+ “It’s been five minutes, Mr. Rodgers,” Guzman said, still sounding pissed. Rick was about ready to correct the XO when he noticed a makeshift splint on his wrist that hadn’t been there before. ‘Damn temporal ...’ Rick thought. He looked down at the controls and was mildly surprised to discover that the engines were working. Not as well as Rick would have hoped for, but enough to get the Chimera moving. +tap+ “Sir, I can give you half impulse and even warp three,” Rick said. +tap+ “Very well. Keep working on them. Guzman out.” Rick then looked around the room at the other engineers. “I have no idea how we got these engines working, nor do I remember, but job well done everybody,” Rick said to the others. “Now lets see that we can do to improve on them.” A few of them nodded and went to work. Rick just shook his head and looked at the splint again, realizing that only he could have done such a piss poor job. Still, it stabilized his wrist, easing the pain, which was all that mattered for the time being. Lieutenant (j.g.) Rick Rodgers Acting Chief Engineering Officer U.S.S. Chimera
