PART 9:
Trip walked around Engineering. His crew was getting ready for inspection.
Trip stopped one of his men. "There's some grease on the floor over there," he told him pointing to it. "Get it up."
"Aye sir," the crewman said and hurried off to do his job.
Trip walked towards his desk. He had taken the Captains advice and went to bed earlier than usual. He still felt tried and run down, but he couldn't think about that right now. He had an inspection to get ready for.
Ensign Driscoll stood by the lift. He smiled as he watched Trip walk towards his desk.
The commander looks tired, he thought. Time to give him another pick me up.
"Driscoll," Trip called out, spotting him by the lift.
"Yes, sir?" Driscoll said walking over to him with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Did you clean up that mess on the floor near the tubes?" Trip asked.
"Yes," Driscoll answered. "The floor is so clean you can eat off of it."
Trip sat down at his desk, and Driscoll put the cup of coffee down.
"A cup of coffee for you sir."
"Thanks," Trip said and grabbed the cup and took a sip.
"Is everything all right, Commander?" Driscoll asked.
"Just not getting enough sleep, Ensign," Trip answered taking another sip of coffee. "Happens when you Chief Engineer."
"If you want I can get you another cup of coffee if you'd like."
Trip finished what was left in the cup and handed it back to Driscoll.
"That would be great Ensign," Trip said with a smile. "Need to put on a good show for the captain today."
Driscoll walked away. He had a smirk on his face.
"Oh believe me," he said. "You'll be giving the captain one hell of a show."
