to USS Khitomer – StarBase 118 Star Trek PBEM RPG
((A hallway near the Gymnasium, Deck 15, USS Khitomer))
Petty Officer Stella Sparks had returned to the scene of the crime. Although, less crime, and more fully sanctioned hallway decorating. Pulling the schematics when she got back to engineering, she found that the main power conduit didn't run through this hallway, and all she had to do was instruct the computer to lower the lighting seventy three percent. That was the easy part. The rest? Well she had been accused of tinkering once before, and it seemed she done it again.
El’Heem: Wait….you didn’t actually…steal from your posting right?
El’Heem: Good, that was a figure of speech and I only gave the disclaimer because I thought Forza needed it. ::Looking at the vial:: Not entirely certain he can read between the lines.
The tiny engineer dissolved into a giggle and snort fest, still adjusting the wiring.
El’Heem: ::standing:: So! Did you get the approvals you needed to do your maintenance? ::gesturing at the lights::

But, the rhomboid shape in her arms would be the masterpiece of all that fiddlin'.
El’Heem: Sparks! You made it. ::Setting the bag down:: You find anything good?
El’Heem: Sparks! You made it. ::Setting the bag down:: You find anything good?
Did she jump about a foot off the ground? Yes. Was she proud of it? Well, the clearance maybe.
Dang tall Lieutenant still made her feel like a tiny bug just waitin' to be squashed.
Sparks: ::audible gulp:: Oh! Hey there Lieutenant, ::beaming:: I sure did!! ::holding the shiny machine:: Just you wait and see!!
Setting down the main component, she bagan army crawling as she adjusted the reflection nodes at specific demarcations.

Turning back from her position on the floor, she raised one thumb.
Sparks: No way Sir, Granny Sparks would tan my hide and sell it at the farmer's market if I even thought 'bout nickin' from work. ::snorting:: Fact, stealin' from anywhere likely have her huntin' me down no matter where I hide...

Jumping up, her hands rubbed together excitedly. A near feral shine blossomed into her eyes.
Sparks: You bet Sir. Soon as this baby gets warmed up we'll be ready!
El’Heem: Forza! Knew you’d make it.

Peeking around the towering frame of the doctor.
Sparks: ::beaming:: Well hey there! You're just in time!!

Forza/Sparks: Response
El’Heem: You convince either Richard or Ezra to come?
Forza: Response
It seemed Mr. El'Heem was bummed. Stella hoped her program would work to bring his joy back for all his mushroom land.
El’Heem: Wellllll I’m sure they’ll show up eventually. ::Looking at Sparks:: Did you invite anyone?
Sparks: ::preening like a child picked to hand out snack in kindergarten:: Only all of engineering!!

Stella was tiny, but mighty. She had a set of lungs on her she only used for important things. Like cake in the breakroom, or a mushroom party in the hallway. Most found her endearing, the rest started using ear plugs. But them officers ain't never have fun so it didn't bother her none.
Forza: Response
El’Heem: Amazing! They’re going to love it. And to think, this is only the first night of festivities. ::pulling out a foam applicator:: Ready?
Sparks: ::puffing up:: Computer, initial Sparks Program seven point five!

The lights dimmed to a near dark level. PADD in hand, the glow illuminated the frenzied expression on the miniscule engineer's face. A few taps and the reflection nodes lit up, each protecting a holographic image of a patch of luminescent mushrooms. One after another lit, until it appeared as if they were walking in a cavern of glow.
Some of the emitters were pointing at the ceilings, projecting a bioluminescent moss, and various other fauna she researched that would be cohabitating in a cave. A high pitched, barely contained squeal was emitting from the woman, and the rate of her bouncing on the balls of her feet had her pigtails swingin' this way and that.
Sparks: ::turning, wide eyed and excited:: Ain't it beautiful sirs? Done took me the whole afternoon but it was weeeell worth it!
El'Heem/Forza: Response
Sparks: Aw dang I almost forgot! While the computer was calculatin' I replicated us these! ::reaching into her bag, she produced a fistfull of wristbands, shaped like little neon mushrooms. They glowed and sparkled in the dim lighting.:: Ain't nobody gonna risk gettin' lost or runnin' into a door with these here. What y'all think?
El'Heem/Forza: Response
