Timeline   15 minutes after docking at SB 611
Chief Engineer Hope changed into a clean uniform and had smartened herself up. Klingon uniforms were a tight fit at the best of times and hers felt a little more snug than usual. Although quite thin, she had been eating a lot of stogi food lately and pulling double shifts in Engineering had left her little time to eat properly. Though she did notice that the added weight had gone on in all the right places. She fiddled around with the top part of her uniform hoping to....well if she pulled the sides of her long black hair to the front maybe no one would notice.

At 5' 4 in height she wasn't the tallest of the crew but she was small enough to crawl in and around the tight spaces in engineering with out any problem. Though she was glad that her boots added at least another inch to her height.

Her green eyes caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror she looked at herself for a moment and then left.

Some time later she had managed to get hold of most of the equipment she needed and checked them off her PADD. Flux router, capacitor, self sealing stumm-bolts. Phase corde capacitors, Plasma semi -sunk routers, double inverted clips, etc, etc, etc. String, double sided sticky tape and ceiling wax would have more affect than what she had ordered. They would be delivered to the ship with in the hour so she was happy with that.

Electrical relays to light up the cargo deck ought to please everyone and stop the crew from falling over their feet. They should arrive by the time she got back and that was the last of it. Apart from some personal stuff for herself she could head back to the confines of the ship. She felt uncomfortable here in the open amongst crowds of people. Give her the greasy oily space of her engine room anytime.
