PNPC Petty Officer Stella Sparks ~ Dang fangled tangles

[Roxanna Dorion]

((Main Engineering ~ USS Khitomer))

Petty Officer Stella Sparks was having a downright doozy of a day. Theys been at Yellow Alert for a dogs age, and if that weren't enough, there were these dang fangled pockets of wiggly thread things that stung worse than a hornet. Main Engineering started lookin' like some sorta tumbling gym, with officers having to dodge, jump, and bend to get around. 

The last bundle she done run into nearly took her left pigtail. To say she was frazzled, was putin' it lightly. 

Zerva: =/\= Lieutenant Zerva to engineering. =/\=

Glancin' around, she realized there weren't no one else not fightin' the balls of demon string. 

Sparks: =/\= Engineerin' here! Uh, what can I do for ya, Sir? =/\=

Zerva: =/\= Sparks, I could use some assistance here on deck nine, transporter room two. I found some more filaments here. Looks like they have tried embedding themselves into the transporter pad. The XO wants us to proceed with trying to get them off the ship, but with caution. =/\=

Them dang things were everywhere!! 

Sparks: =/\= Ah jeez Sir, y'all got them devil's brambles up there now too? I ain't sure what theys are, but they sure do sting somethin' awful... =/\=

She rubbed at the torn section of her uniform, thankfully it weren't no worse than gettin' bit by a hog on wash day. 

Zerva: =/\= I’m hoping we can find a way to beam them off the pad, however there is no telling what could happen. Bring your tools and make sure you’ve got a copy of those sensor readings Ensign Morda uploaded into the computer. =/\=

Sparks: ::saluting...no one:: =/\= Aye sir! Imma be there in two shakes.  =/\=

Zerva: =/\= Excellent. I’ll see you soon, Zerva out. =/\=

With a little luck, and praisin' the fact that she was vertically challenged in the height department, she did a little hop, skip, and shimmy without injuring herself. With her toolbox in one hand, she made her way out the door. 

((((Brief Timeskip ~ Deck 9, Transporter Room Two, USS Khitomer))))

Sparks: Well hey there Sir, heard y'all got somethin' nasty gummin' up some works and what not. 

Zerva: Response 

The miniscule engineer hadn't met the Bolian personally, but like Granny Sparks always said, a stranger was just someone you ain't said 'Hi" to yet. Although introductions and the like were gonna be waitin' a bit, considering there was were needin' done.

Sparks: Engineerin' done full of these buggers. ::eyes wide:: I almost walked right into a free haircut! ::she began stroking her left ponytail protectively:: But let's see what we can do 'bout these suckers...

Zerva: Response 

Her kit was half her size, so at one point, fiddlin' around tryin' to find the specific tool made it seem as if the tool box was fixin' to eat her. Thankfully, she popped up like a spring daisy with a handful of items. 

Sparks: I'm thinkin' we de-activate one of them pads, and maybe see how deep they got. Whatcha think? 

Zerva: Response
