The loud beep of Isobel's alarm clock roused her rudely from her sleep.
The groan of her room mate -Terri- joined the noise that finished with a thud as Terri swiped the clock onto the floor. The two of them lay in bed for a while, allowing their eyes to accustom to the gradually brightening lights. "Right!" Isobel slowly hauled herself out of bed and pulled out her new uniform: A crimson shirt and black trousers, she had been very insistent.

"Do you have to make so much noise?" Terri moaned, turning over in a pitiful attempt to get comfortable again. "My shift doesn't start for another hour!"

"Tough!" Isobel could not hide the laughter from her voice. "Mine starts in ten minutes." She began to tie her black hair into a rough pony tail. "If punctuality is not one of the finest of British traits then-"

"Shut up Issy!"

"Don't call me Issy!" Isobel hissed, tensing her body. "Sorry." She turned to Terri and shrugged. "Guess I can get a bit touchy."

"You don't say!" Terri pulled her duvet up to her nose and closed her eyes. Isobel grinned to her self jocundly and began to make her way to the engine rooms.

Situated at the bowls of the ship were the engine rooms, cavernous rooms constantly buzzing with the humming of machinery. Isobel took a moment to gaze in wonder at the sheer size of the place: Amber pipes meandered drunkenly around large, lead canisters, a brief examination confirmed that the contents were radioactive- Dilithium probably. "You new here?"

"Oh!" Isobel whipped around and nodded at the engineer looking up at her from his computer. "Yeah, I'm just wondering where to report to."

"Main core." He turned back to his computer. "Unless you're required some where else, then you'll be goin' there."

"Thank you Sir." Isobel quickly saluted and dashed out of the room. Great, she had got lost on her first day, at least the main core was not too far away.

"Jim!"

"What?" The Captain ceased talking with Sulu and Chekov and turned to the ships Doctor.

Bones waved a tricorder in front of Kirk's face. "You've skipped your medical, again!"

Kirk rolled his eyes and flopped down on his chair. "Fine!" He winced as Bones jabbed a hypospray into his neck. "Why do you have to be such an arse Bones?"

"It's my job." Bones shrugged and gave Kirk another injection. "To be an arse and make sure the serum is not rejected or your arse will not end up dead, again." Kirk flinched as the rest of the bridge glanced nervously up at him. Khan's attack was still vivid in their memories. Bones sighed and pocketed the hypospray. "I expect to see you at six for another hypo."

"Whatever Lenny!" Kirk jeered. He spun his chair around and pocked his tongue out at Bones who simply sighed and stormed off the bridge. Why had Kirk given him that stupid nickname? Kirk flicked the switch on his chair that controlled the communicator and leaned closer. "Kirk to engineering. Is the core ready?"

"Nay Cap'in." The voice of the Head engineer blared around the bridge. "Turns ou' tha' Mr Chekov did more damage then we though'."

Chekov turned an alarmed shade of magenta. "Eet vas an eccident Meester Scott."

"Aye, I'm sure i' was laddie." The Scotsman chuckled, "I've seven Ensigns wor'in' on i'. She'll be swimmin' again soon enough!" Scotty turned off his communicator and ran over to where seven Ensigns were frantically working on the core. "C'mon ye wee bastards." He leaped to the side as a jet of sparks shot up from the floor. "Comman' wants us te ge' this thin-"

"Done!"

"Wha'?"

"I said I'm done Sir." The Ensign snapped.

"Righ', well..." Scotty's voice trailed off absently. "Ye'd be''er be findin' somthin' else then."

"Yes Sir!" The Ensign raised her goggles, saluted Scotty and sprinted away in the opposite direction.

Scotty shrugged and went to check the core to see if the Ensign really had finished mending the core, to his surprise, she had. "This is good." He muttered, "Very good." He turned to one of the other engineers and shook him roughly on the shoulder. "Oi laddie! Who was tha'?"

"Not sure." The engineer called, "She's new though!"

"Aye, I ca' see tha'." Scotty snapped, "Ney manners she's go'." The engineer wrinkled his nose and shrugged. Scotty sighed and walked off in the other direction, feeling slightly peeved.
