Sharpay had just popped off a panel in the jeffries tube she was in and opened the engineering case she had with her when a call came through on her combadge.
//"Ensign Harper. Please report to Engineering."//
She quickly tapped her badge to reply.
"I'll be there after I install a gelpack. Harper out."
Sharpay got the gelpack that was in her kit and a tool to remove the nonfunctional one. The work only took her a few minutes. It was the crawling back to engineering that would take the longest. After having fixing the problem Sharpay put the nonfunctional gelpack in the engineering case as well as the tools. She then put the panel back on the wall of the crawlspace before closing up her case and happily grumbling on her way back to engineering.
Hopefully that took care of at least one problem.
Now nearing the hatch she had come through Sharpay reached for the handle to get out,but it wouldn't budge. "Dag nabbit!" Sharpay exclaimed with frustration. As if things weren't bad enough she had to get trapped.

The diagnostic was coming along wonderfully and smoothly. There were indeed a few problems but nothing that couldn't be quickly fixed. Kamon was wondering what was taking Ensign Harper so long to get back. He checked with the computer. "What was Ensign Harper fixing?"
The computer voice replied, "There was an unusuable gel pack in the system."
"Thank you." There was only one way to go to get to the gel packs. Kamon walked over to the jeffries tube and attempted to open it. It wouldn't budge. Well this is annoying. He grabbed a tool to open the door. It attached and Kamon tried to move it. Again, the door was stuck. Kamon then pushed with all his strength and it creaked and slid open. Kamon stumbled on the floor from putting all of his body weight on the hatch. He looked into it to reveal brilliant flowing blonde hair.
"Hi," he said inquisitively. "Need some help?"

James had just exited the turbo lift and entered the bridge, he was astonished that everything there was in working order as the rest of the ship seemed to be falling apart, but he did have confidence in the new chief engineer and with the help of ensign Harper he felt that the problems should soon be resolved.

Sharpay had been to busy trying to the the hatch open on her own end she hadn't been paying attention to the sounds coming from the other side. Had she done so the door might have opened. The push and pull at the same time was a good way to keep something shut.
When the hatch finally opened Sharpay almost fell out but put her hands on the sides to keep herself from going forward. However the sight before her almost made Sharpay smile. "Laying down on the job?" She questioned humorously.
"Need some help?"
"I'm a grown girl. I can manage."

"I'm a grown girl. I can manage."
"I can see you're a grown girl," Kamon said. "Kamon Willsun. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
She appeared quite capable. He noticed the confidence of her movements. She took every step vigorously. A good engineer. I'm sure I'll be glad to have her. "I hear the Captain will be coming on board soon. Anything else need to be done?" he asked. She seemed to be doing quite well being in charge, so he let her carry on.

"Kamon Willsun. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"Sharpay Harper. Somehow I doubt it, now give me a week to make an assessment about you." Sharpay told Kamon dryly and quickly as she got out. She turned and grabbed the case before shutting the hatch. Sharpay took a quick glance at his rank. Lieutenant... She mentally shrugged.
"I hear the Captain will be coming on board soon. Anything else need to be done?"
Sharpay turned and looked directly at Lieutenant Willsun. "I thought you said you could see." Turning back around heading to the main station she sat down and looked over the information. "The stations bumbling blockhead engineers seemed to have taken care of the glitches...so far,but they have yet to learn about reports. So much for Starfleet producing the best and the brightest."
Sharpay let out a sigh. "A basic level diagnostic? Ever think of running a level four?" She lightly shook her head. "Since my specialty is in warp and temporal mechanics I'm going to check up on our heart...you can make sure no one make a rookie mistake like loosing gravity that the commander had to fix."
Sharpay got up and began to make her way over to the core.

"Yes maam," Kamon said energetically. "I'll inform you when the repair crews are finished and the final diagnostics are complete."
As Ensign Harper walked off to the core, ran the level four diagnostic as Harper had suggested. A little quick to the temper, but nothing we won't be working on. The diagnostic took about a minute for all systems. Kamon looked over the results. There were a few systems out of alignment but it already appeared that there were teams on the job. He was impressed. Very nice, Miss Harper. Kamon checked the status of the crews. Most were finishing the repairs and reporting back.
After an hour of go through the systems, the reports came in that the repair crews were finished, with the exception of the deck fifteen crew. Kamon opened up the report to find that the crew could not identify what was causing the deck to lose power. Kamon walked to the warp core and delivered the reports to Ensign Harper. "All reports are in, maam, and they report everything is shipshape, except the deck 15 crew. They have been unable to identify the problem."

After having finishing most of the checks on the warp core Sharpay was finishing up by checking the pressure. She was quite concentrated on the work she almost jumped at the sound of the lieutenants voice.
"All reports are in, maam, and they report everything is shipshape, except the deck 15 crew. They have been unable to identify the problem."
Sharpay quickly turned her head in Kamon's direction. Her eyes were wide. "Don't you know it's not polite to sneak up on a person?" She asked a bit gruffly. After taking a breath Sharpay stood in a relaxed position,resting a hand on her hip. "Then I guess you better get down there,don't you think?"

James started looking over the consoles to see what was operational and what wasn't as he looked on the engineering console he could see deck 15 was still having power fluctuations. He then called ensign Harper " Commander Gallant to Ensign Harper, what's the hold up on the deck 15 situation, we need that deck top shape in the next hour as the captain's inspection is in two hours, please see to it that those repairs are made".

"Then I guess you better get down there,don't you think?"
"Right away, maam," Kamon said, smiling. He turned to walk out of Engineering and make his way to deck fifteen where all the trouble was.
As he arrived he found himself in a near dark corridor amidst a small group of very confused engineers. They looked as though they had never seen a power conduit before in their lives. "Report please." None of the engineers said anything. "Well?"
One came forward. "Um, we read power failure all over the map on this deck sir. Its like there isn't even any power getting up here at all."
"Any suggestions at all?" he asked the almost terrified crewmen. Again no one stepped forward. "Well, then let's take a look." He crawled down into an access hatch to survey the scene. It as if no power is even here. He had an idea.
"Crewmen, what is located on Deck Fifteen?"
The crewmen each exchanged glances, surprised at such a question. One of them replied, "Jeffries tubes, the brig, Plasma Relay room. . . ."
"The what?" Kamon interrupted.
"The plasma relay room."
"I want each of you to go there and inspect it thoroughly. I have a hunch that we might find our problem there." They all went to the relay room and inspected every inch of it. They found that several power cells that were out of alignment. "Fix them please," Kamon ordered. The crewmen put the power cells back in place and the power immediately came on.
// Willsun to Ensign Harper. I'm down on deck fifteen in the relay room. Several power cells were out of alignment. If you would, maam,// Kamon was beginning to enjoy this 'yes maam, no maam' thing, //please check to see if that completely fixed the problem.//

Sharpay watched as Lt. Willsun headed off to deck fifteen. She lightly rolled her eyes. Some engineer…I don’t think he can come close to a light bulb. Sharpay thought with dry sarcasm as a smirk made it way across her pink lips. Just then a comm from the commander came through interrupting Sharpay’s train of thought.
// “Commander Gallant to Ensign Harper, what's the hold up on the deck 15 situation, we need that deck top shape in the next hour as the captain's inspection is in two hours, please see to it that those repairs are made."//
She swiftly tapped her badge to respond.
“We’re on it now Commander. It should be repaired shortly…Lieutenant Willsun is seeing to it at the moment.”
Sharpay moved over to a console to check on the progress. Just as she was about to tapp away on the panel another message came through.
// Willsun to Ensign Harper. I'm down on deck fifteen in the relay room. Several power cells were out of alignment. If you would, maam, please check to see if that completely fixed the problem.//
Once again Sharpay tapped her badge.
“Didn’t you bring a tricorder with you? I’m gussing not. Hold please.” Sharpay said with slight annoyance. She tapped away on the console in front of her. Uh huh…mh hmm...
“Check. Problem taken care of.”

With everything shipshape at this point, Kamon decided to head back to engineering to get more acquainted with everything, including Ensign Sharpay Harper. Kamon found her absolutely intriguing. Brilliant, sarcastic, self-sufficient, and not afraid to let anyone know about it. To many, she would seem too omnipotent, insubordinate, and competitive. All of these qualities gave him a good first impression of her, though they would have to work on the insubordination thing. It would be an invigorating experience.
He made it to engineering quickly, finding Ensign Harper still fussing over the computer. She still had the scowl on her face. He hoped she wouldn't mind him interrupting her. "Excuse me Ensign. My apologies for interrupting. I noticed that you mentioned a few things as to my performance." Kamon was almost playing at her now. "I'd like to know how my performance was for my first time on board."

"I'd like to know how my performance was for my first time on board."
Sharpay stood up straight,folded her arms and locked eyes with the lieutenant in front of her.
"A lieutenant asking an ensign how their performance is. Well that has to be a first." Sharpay stated lightly. She hadn't exactly expected anything of the sorts to come out of the mouth of someone that out ranked her...however,he wanted to know and she was not going to deprive him of her thoughts or comments.
"Well,lets see...I could snag you for not reporting to me for duty pronto,you ran a basic level diagnostic which in all honesty I think a chimpanzee would have the smarts to run a level four with the problems we have been having..." Sharpay paused only a moment.
"Then there's failure to take a tricorder or an engineering kit to deck fifteen when you left; something any good engineer would remember to do,and you a lieutenant asking me an ensign what to do,well wouldn't you say that's a little pathetic? How'd you earn your rank? So far I think a light bulb is brighter. So what would you say I think of your performance?"

"So what would you say I think of your performance?"
Kamon couldn't help but smile. "My performance. First, I value the opinion of every Starfleet officer unless I have reason to believe otherwise. Since you seem so eager to assess our ranks, I will continue as a Lieutenant speaking to an Ensign. Secondly, your specific orders were to 'get down there.' I was required to do nothing. Third, a basic system diagnostic would have determined the same result as a level four diagnostic, and as I had not taken any systems offline, you should have realized that I was indeed performing a level four diagnostic as a basic diagnostic would have required each system to in turn be taken offline for evaluation. Next, the failure to to take a tricorder along is irrelevant. The computers in engineering have a much better diagnostic efficiency than any tricorder. Overall, I would say my performance was adequate. Of course there is always room for improvement and as you are a Starfleet Officer, I will take your criticism as I would a superior's."
It was all Kamon could do to not burst out in laughter. He was proud of himself for that. She was right of course on all her points, with the exception of the diagnostic. He would tell her she was correct . . . . eventually.
"Thank you for your input. Permission to be dismissed, maam."

Sharpay raised up her right hand. "Permission denied." For now...
"Firstly I'd like to point out I specifically was not told to fix the problem on deck fifteen. I was told to see to it that the repairs were made,and I did by telling you to check it out...just like a chief engineer would do. Secondly you are wrong about the diagnostics,I mean sure sometimes things get taken offline but you sort of contradicted yourself in that little explanation."
Sharpay took a few steps forward to where they were just inches apart,and narrowed her eyes a bit as she spoke sternly.
"Thirdly,you can not always rely on a computer especially when malfunctions are going on around you. When we start to rely on computers too much we begin to stop thinking for ourselves. A second opinion never hurts no matter how you get it."
