Astrja was jolted awake by the alarm. “Six hours already,” she whimpered rolling out of bed and plodding into the shower. “Has anything important happened while I was asleep, Afor?”

The hologram appeared. “Repairs continue and preparations are being made to travel.”

Astrja nodded and let the sonic shower play over her. “Breakfast seven with an extra strong The please,” she called out.

“Yes, Astrja!”

She bounded out of shower and took a gulp of The followed by wolfing down the high protein breakfast. “Show me a hologram of the ship with repair statuses displayed, please, Afor.”

“Done,” said Afor as the hologram of the ship resolved. The red was almost gone, the amber was not as prevalent. Overall, things were looking up. They had even managed to salvage part of the jammed torpedo. That was good work from the chief and the lieutenant, she would have to thank them for their efforts later.

Now, to work, after she pulled on a fresh uniform and grabbed her satchel, she was sure that some would appreciate a nude Andorian walking by, but without her satchel and combadge, her ability to do her job was sadly limited.

“Afor, anything I can fix between here and Ops central?” she asked.

“There is a sensor conduit that has been dropping on and off the network just down the way,” Afor answered.

Astrja stuffed the last of the meal into her mouth and washed it down with the dregs of the The. “Let’s go! Soonest begun and all that.”

The door opened and Astrja strode confidently into the corridor. While there was still a lot to be done, it all seemed manageable now. Everyone was working hard and pulling together; whatever trouble was ahead, they would be able to handle it as that is what Starfleet did. She popped the panel and set to work fixing the iffy sensor conduit.
