A/N: I've noticed that drabbles are fairly rare in the Enterprise fandom, so I've decided to buck the trend... plus with all the preparation for going to China next week I haven't got time to write any longer chapters!

This drabble series accompanies my longer story "In the Quartermaster's Store", beginning with the character's earliest experiences on Enterprise. Cookie to anyone who recognises the situation below!

Please review!! :)

Disclaimer for all chapters: The only things I own are the characters in the Quartermaster's Store, all other characters, settings and scientific technobabble belong to Paramount.

The Drabble Files

1) First

Their first meeting went disregarded by the both of them. Henny was tuning the power conduits on Deck A in preparation of their hurried launch – a job which certainly didn't come under her basic training of how to handle industrial washing machines – when a stern Lieutenant (accompanied by a very pleasant-faced Ensign) had stopped her and suggested she rebalance her polarities for greater haste.

As the Lieutenant strode off with her insincere thanks, he told the Ensign that he had interrupted the young woman in her work in order to impress upon all in the vicinity the alacrity needed to prepare for the suddenly rushed launch.

Henny told herself it was because the Lieutenant was a superior git.
