Chief Engineer's Log

[Shane 0]

<<This begins shortly after Shane arrives back on the Qob and wasn’t originally intended by him to be a personal journal. But as with what happens with people with a lot on their minds, things leak out and therefore, Shane has this log encrypted and hidden pretty well from anyone without major Engineering experience. I hope this will help give a little insight into Shane’s actions and such during gameplay.>>

“Chief Engineer’s log, Stardate…uh…oh what the jyke, who cares? This entry is shortly after the raider situation on the science vessel Verbistul, if any time record is needin’ to be kept. I don’t normally keep audio records such as this, but the need has arisen mainly on account of me not rememberin’ what I was up to before being called up to look over the raider’s bomb. Plus I thought it prudent and all to have a record of repairs for any other engineer who might come along if I’m injured or incapacitated. Though, they’d have to be pretty desperate for something, cause this is encrypted with level five coding, similar to what it would be on most military vessels. Anyways…

 

 

 

 

Chekov…or whatever his name is…and I have finished installing an alternative EPS line to the bridge through the neck of the ship. With that in place, I’m feelin’ a bit more confident of the Qob’s combat readiness, as that will have completed most of our EPS upgrades. One of the best way of keeping this bucket of bolts cruisin’ is through redundant power grids, which is what the alternative line is apart of. Sure, it makes the crawl spaces pretty cramped, but I can always send Phil…or Will? Whatever. Point being, we’re nearly done with this particular upgrade and should be finished within a couple of days.

 

 

 

 

The next order of business will be improvin’ the Structural Integrity system. That would be why I had Chekov pick up a lot of force field materials, to replace faulty emittars and get these things repaired. Once we get the SI fields strengthed, Rosy will be able to take the Qob on tighter maneuvers and increase our top warp speed. Right now the whole ship feels like it’s about to rattle apart whenever we pass Warp 6.5.

 

 

 

 

…guess that’s it for now. Shane out.”
