                   THERE IS NO FIRE, but an emergency—a need for his presence—nonetheless, and he arrives promptly, diligent, and without hesitation to the core of the ship. Beneath his feet, the Enterprise hums, beating louder, where Spock has come close to her heart, “Report.” Charlene Masters         /         starter.

❛ –   WELL,    just a small problem Mr Spock...  ❜    perhaps she really did have a talent for understatements as their Captain had suggested.     ❛ –   our dilithum crystals seem to be losing charge at a large rate, and no one down her seems to understand why. I think it’s external interference, due to the fact no amount of re-amplifying is working. ❜

𝐃𝐈𝐃  𝐒𝐇𝐄  𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓  𝐓𝐎  𝐁𝐄  𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃?  𝐍𝐎.  No,  she  did  not.  She  would  pick  engineering  over  any  job  on  this  ship.   She  shook  her  head  and  allowed  him  to  talk.   No  one  in  their  right  mind?  Well,  maybe  she  did  fit  that  bill.  She  didn’t  exactly  think  nearly  DYING  trying  to  protect  an  amplifier  was  the  most  sane  thing  to  do.  ❛   —  guess  that  means  I’m  out  of  my  mind  ❜  She  started  bluntly,  lips  pressed  against  her  cup  before  taking  a  sip.  The  coffee  was  not  the  best,  but  it  was  giving  her  enough  energy  in  case  something  happened  (which  was  extremely  likely).

❝     yeah yeah and i’m the bloody queen .     ❞            HE ROLLS HIS EYES WITH ENJOYMENT       .          it is no secret that he creates a family the same way he creates miracles for their dear old captain           (         with hard work ,       and grease forever scattered across his palms       )           HE DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR ANYTHING          but a work environment build on respect and the occasional joke .        space ,       in itself ,      terrifying enough       -        never mind the more than slightly uncommon explosion down in engineering .        they might as well laugh ,       or else no one would really get out of bed in the morning  ,        would they now      
❝     just black ,     ❞         gaze is once more on the PADD  in his hands         ;        grateful ,       yet not at all sufficiently distracted from the never ending work waiting for him   .          AN ANNOYED HUFF        .           ❝    if i die i die the natural way .     i might not trust the fucking tea ,      but i trust the replicator milk even less .     ❞ 

❛ –  ... your majesty. ❜   small laugh and smile as she ordered the replicator to produce two black coffees.    hands idle taping on the machine as if that would increase the speed the replicator produced their coffee.     a chuckle at the idea that        REPLICATOR MILK would kill them on the ENTERPRISE.    if only they had the luxury of a boring death.    nearly everyone on the Enterprise had done at least one reckless thing.      

 ❛ –  i doubt any of us are dying the natural way, unless that involves explosions... ❜      or breathing in gas.   her own risky decision floating into her mind.     Dragged out away from the dilithium chamber.    Yeah - there was no chance they were making it to old age. coffee done, she passed it over to her commanding officer.  ❛  --- so why haven’t I been returned to the science department yet?  not that I’m complaining... ❜

              A SHAKE OF HIS HEAD IS OFFERED AS RESPONSE       to her pout .     heart grown soft for those who     chose    to spend time in his chosen department      ;        for those who were capable and willing to engage in shared interests .      sure ,       blue and yellow earned the praise ,        but it was red who     HELD BEATING HEART OF THE SHIP IN THEIR HANDS AND MADE IT HOME .         ❝     dinnae get cocky now   !    ❞       words are light ,       playful even         (        as much as he could allow ,     command stitched to red shirt ,      even when he hasn’t learned how to wear the role with grace .     )

❝     who says i ain’t desperate .     ❞        HE IS EXHAUSTED .        when isn’t he    ?       there is always something to tinker on ,      always something to perfect .      beating heart of the ship never stops needing care         ;         not even when he wants for nothing more than to lay down and sleep .      ❝     besides .     the replicator coffee i can live with .      it’s the    tea     that they need to get their fucking hands off .     ❞

 ❛ –   cocky?    me?     never commander.     I’m a science officer.     serious all the time.   facts and logic.. . ❜    her hands placed beside her head in mock surrender at the concept.     perhaps she might have been,    once upon a time,    but months in the engineering department changed a person, especially their attitude to WORK.      before?     STARFLEET was a job.      a job that entitled exploration and discovery,      but still a job.            BUT NOW?       it was far more like family.   A family she was more than willing to risk her life for.        actions which her other commanding officer would question immediately.  

A clear sign of disgusting at the mention of the tea the replicator could make up.       She didn’t like tea at the best of times,    she could only imagine the results of the replicator.     SPACE TRAVEL AND WARP CORES,    but the perfect cup of TEA or COFFEE was still yet to be discovered.     Moving over to the replicator she turned back to face him.          laugh escaping lips.    ❛ –   I’ll stick with the disgusting coffee.    least it comes with some sort of caffeine boost.     you take any sugar?   milk?   ❜

What if TOS had 900% more central female characters?

(Since I don’t want to stretch your dashboards any more than I have already, I’ve written some thoughts about the characters and the process that went into making the graphics under the cut.)
