A voice comes from over the ship's coms.
"All crewmen, we have an hour before leaving drydock. All senior officers report to the observation room." There's a pause. "That does include Engineering."

Min was in the place she felt most at home. Engineering. She never felt comfortable anywhere else since she was young and tagging along behind her father as he worked. The majority of her life so far had been spent aboard ships, they were home to her not planets.
She couldn’t wait to get aboard the ship and get to work. Time waiting on the station had been torture and once she was on board she immediately started working. Her belongings, which weren’t much, were tossed in the office and she set about looking things over. Engines were inspected, diagnostics ran and settings checked. She knew the ship was in fine running condition, but an inspection was called for.
Days spent traveling had given her time to read over all of the technical specs and plans and she knew the ship like the back of her hand even before stepping a foot on board. Now that she was on board she HAD to look everything over. She wouldn’t be satisfied until she did. After the inspection then she could tackle the very long list of things that needed to be done.
She smiled as she went about her work.

The USS Falconer glided through space, approaching a small nebula-like cloud of glowing magenta gasses.
Captain Anders stood and approached the viewscreen to get a better look. “Slow us down, Ensign.”
“Yes, sir,” the ensign at the helm replied, and the Nova-class Falconer slowed nearly to a stop.
The Andorian at the captain’s side stepped up to meet him. “It does physically resemble a nebula, despite its small size,” he admitted. “But the energy readings are like nothing we’ve ever encountered before.”
The captain nodded. “Perhaps we should have Lieutenant Commander Aldin join us?”
The Andorian shared a brief smile with the other Andorian on the bridge, who was sitting at the communications station. “I think she would like a closer look, yes,” the commander agreed.
At the comm. station, Lieutenant Ivos turns back to his controls. “Bridge to Commander Aldin,” he said. “Captain Anders requests your presence.”
Ivos let himself share a quick grin to the first officer before turning back to his duties, and Commander Kor returned it. The smile would be all they would allow themselves right now: they both knew that they had to maintain their most professional demeanor at all times, even during such a casual exploration. Starfleet allowed married Andorian quads to serve together, provided they did not allow their personal feelings to interfere with their duties. A quick smile was all they could afford. Kor and Ivos both knew, however, just how much Aldin would enjoy examining something new like this.
( Unfortunately, she would never get the chance. )
