Marek was back at his station and working on repairs as a Klingon walked in. The Romulan looked at the warrior's collar which had two full pips and one half pip meaning he is a Lieutenant Commander. ~Perhaps the chief has been replaced?~ Marek thought and decided to approach the new officer.
"Hello and welcome to Main Engineering. I'm Ensign Marek Lovok," he offered his hand.
Kahlaras looked at the mans hand then up at his rank, then directly to his ears. Judging by the mans smile and showing of emotion he wasn't Vulcan meaning one thing, he was Romulan. "Your Romulan." he said straight out forgetting about the mans hand.
"And you're Klingon. Yet we are both Starfleet officers," Marek said flatly withdrawing his hand and standing 'at ease'.
"I am still not used to.. Romulans. Forgive me."
Marek smiled. "Forgiven. I know our two races have much history and all of it bad blood but we can be friends, I'm sure of it." He tried offering his hand again.
Kahlaras was reluctant at first but then accepted his hand."So what is your position Ensign?"
"Just engineer, I believe, sir." Marek replied a little unsure for he recalled that he was never given a specialty upon joining the engineering team.
"Your a jack of all trades in essence. You can be assigned to anything."
Marek nodded. "Have you had a chance to look around the engine room and your office?" He asked.
"Not yet, I just walked in as you saw. This is my first time here."
"It's over here," Marek gestured for the chief to follow.
"Lead the way Ensign." Kahlaras said as he followed the man into the Engineering room.
Marek walked into the chief's office and motioned to the chair behind the desk. "Give it a try," he suggested with a smile.
Kahlaras walked over to the chair." I do not toil with such comforts but I-.." he didn't finish as he sat back in the chair."This is very.. nice I like it."
"Only the best for the chief; second to the Captain's of course." Marek said as he recalled the former chiefs' comfort needs, he smiled at the Klingon as Kahlaras got comfortable. "On the PaDD there is all the things you need to know," he added a moment later upon noticing the large PaDD on the desk.
Kahlaras picked up the PADD and began to read it."I take it the former Chief left these here?"
Marek nodded. "Yeah she has transferred off," he replied and put his hands behind his back. "Is there anything I can get you?"
"I'm quite alright Ensign thank you. Are there any upgrades the last chief did that I should know about?"
"I don't think so; I'll check and ask around. May I be dismissed?" Marek asked.
"You are dismissed Ensign, thank you." Kahlaras said as he laid back in the soft chair.
"Thank you sir," Marek replied and left the chief office. The Romulan walked around the engine room asking his colleagues about any projects Shalie had started.
