Chief Engineer's Log

[Dumbass 0]

Since I was not needed for the moment in Engineering I decided to check out the engineering terminal on the MeH.  LtCdr Narn asked why I wasn't supervising repairs to the ship and I explained that all the battle damage had been repaired.  Strange, I would have thought the OPS manager would have known that.

 

Just then the QoB-Lakota was scanned by a force still unknown as of this writing.  The scanning beam affected some Engineering systems so I decided to return to the department to assess the situation.  In retrospect the logical thing would have been to remain on the MeH and analyze from there, but I am still learning how the MeH engineering station operates.  I will need to speak to the RawI' about putting in some more MeH time to learn the station better.

 

At any rate, once I returned to Engineering I was asked to analyze the scanning beam.  In the process of doing so it was discovered that Engineering had been cut off from ship communications.  The MeH decided to send CSEC Sogh'a' Ramjep to investigate.  After informing her of the problem she decided to have me scanned anyway.  I implied that if she continued to scan me I would be tempted to use her tricorder in a place where it doesn't naturally go.  She interpreted this as a mating ritual and left.

 

After analyzing the scanning beam used on us I have been able to determine it was not the cause of our internal communications malfunction.  Most likely this was caused by unavoidable neglect due to our lost-in-space situation.  Many of the sensitive components can not be safely replicated and only another Klingon ship or base could provide us with the latest software updates. Our internal comm system may present problems in the future and we will just have to bIIaj

(deal with it).
