SC POV: What requires your patience today?

Chief Engineer Trawella yelling from inside a loud machine in which his upper half seems stuck:
"The GNDN field fluctuations today.
Little Bugger seems to be moody. Can't tell if it's a dampener problem or that the space surrounding us is just unhappy with ships tearing apart it's structure to breach into the sublayer.
Okay, I have to say especially unhappy, normal space just seals itself behind the intrusion, but that's what the Nirnquist part of the Garcia Nirnquist Dilatation Network is for ain't it?
If you didn't slept in Astrophysics, you know it's the thing that keeps us in a relatively stable time & gravity while on board any ship, especially while ryding. Without that we couldn't even use the bloody R.Y.D.E. We would be fresh mashed Terrantato flying around in a space tin can. No offense A.S.H.L.E.I.
No gravity, time jams, you name it."

SC POV: When was the last time you felt needed?

Charleston Trawella Chief Engineer aboard the Ghoz'Tarc:
"I'm needed all the time, chief engineer isn't something you don't want to need and even if ASHLEI is incredibly sofisticated in repairing her self but her drones have limitations and she only can maintain most systems. I constantly regulate and recalibrate Systems developing strategies and theories to improve the performance and output in case of combat. And of course I monitor the prototype stuff I installed on the refit.
But really needed, I felt as Arkham asked me for input on her little pet project inside one of the containers. I have a bit more insight into that than most others I guess and if it works it might be revolutionary for her and the Alliance/Union."

SC POV: How would you react to hearing your favorite song or piece of music?

'Chief' Trawella: "You know there is an ancient song from an artist I always forget. I think it's in early 21st century American, you know that ancient language should be like ancient English but isn't, that no one really speaks anymore? There was an artist who's name ment something with colors and she had a song about me. Na not really but it fits perfectly."
He started humming, swinging his hips and singing:"I'm Trawella! I'm Travella. I'm Travella." And very weird sounds mimicking the ancient forgotten language.*

Author_ity note:
The song he means is from P!NK - Trouble

And yes this is a case of harschly misheard lyrics but as I mentioned before Terran Standard and Union Standard would most likely not sound like any language we might recognize today.

MC POV: Whose advice do you value the most?

Kira:"Advise is something that is rare for a Captain on an covert ops mission. I value the suggestions of my crew & the analysis of Ash.
Personal I like that we all are friends in a way, even Jenkins sometimes let's his mask down & shows that he cares for the crew in his way, not only the mission. Arkham has a good head on her shoulders if you give her the change for a second thought, Talisa is our unofficial ship counselor, usually ships of this size with this crew complement & mission profile don't have any which is why I'm lucky to have her on board, the fact that we know each other since Academy is helpful too. Chief Trawella is a the chef engineer, & he oversaw the refit for this mission. It simply depends on the situation & the asked skills. Arkham has some engineering skills but if the ship is flying apart I rather like to have the chef engineer glue it together."

SC POV: What do you fear losing the most?

Security chief Silas Crosby:"For the life of my daughter Denise. She is the reason I fight so hard."

XO 1 Jenkins:"I'm here for my Husband, he lives on Terra Luna in Berlin and runs a mining operation. Distance Relationships suck but I have sworn my duty to protect civilians like him."

XO 2 Troika:"For my wife or my daughters, it's not easy to live with 4 genius, kind and free spirited Lady's but I won't miss a single moment we have together. Usually our missions don't take so long and I hope they can forgive me..."

Chief Engineer Trawella:"Loosing the bloody core shielding, that would be a nightmare for the whole crew. My cheerful mood for the same reason."

Dr. Kaiden:"I don't want to loose any more Crew members."

... contrast to that.

Troika: he sticks out because he wouldn't in our time, if you see him you think about a healthy looking middle aged man. He has something soothing to him, which is probably his personality as father of 3 girls & married man in the military. He took parental leave for every child and usually works 2 weeks, than stays for 2 weeks with his family which makes him a bit tired in this mission and a tiny bit more restless looking.

Trawella, 160 cm, the energy of a zooming cat while fixing things, 100% relaxed turtle energy while not, but open hearted & welcoming body languages, darkest of dark black hair & a fiery red beard. He is the Ghoz'Tarc's Main engineer & usually the cleanest looking person on board, despite using his size to crawl into the deepest reachable parts of the Ghoz'Tarc. His eyes are bright yellow & he sports a bit of a tummy.

657. Continuing with last night’s questioning, tell us if your SC is one to be forgiving as well.

It depends on the SC in case of Chief Engineer Charlston Trawella, sometimes Karl or also Tuck
(because if the German word "der Tacker" which means stapler the German A sounds very similar to the u in words like tucker, trucker, runner etc) is a really forgiving person. He is someone who fixes things, to fix things they need to break first right?

Dr. Waberi is a nice person but she has a mental list of deeds person done that she did not approve of. She is like Kira more on the forgiving side but lives the rule of 3.

Security Chief Silas Crosby tends to take such things more like Arkham one more chance should be enough.

2.XO William Troika is very forgiving and maybe even softer than Kira, He doesn't think much of the rule of 3 and is more the one who would give 4 or 5 chances.

How would your SC introduce themselves?

Charlston Trawella aka Tack or Karl.

"Hello I'm Karl the Ghoz'Tarc's main engineer or grease monkey how they like to call us, basically your one for everything that can break."
A human male looking person of 165 cm looks at you, holding up a hand, he has black her, a burning red beard & piercingly yellow eyes. If Terran Standard would have accents like we do today you could think of an Irish person speaking Scottish or vice versa.
He looks at his very clean hand than at you & grabs yours if you don't grab his.
"Na don't mind the eyes, my liver & pancreas are fine, I lost a bet as a teen & they let me see in the dark so I kept them. My pronouns are he/him & I'm pleased to meet you." His handshake is firm but welcoming & he doesn't do it longer than necessary. He looks at you:"more the quite kind eh? No worries if you want to talk you can find me in the engine, probably literally."
