Who: Leonard McCoy
Broadcast: Yes! Fleetwide
Action: Caprine/Solace
When: Friday

[There are days when McCoy would gladly turn in his lab augment for an engineering one. After practically picking apart the Caprine and then putting her back together bolt by bolt (with a lot of help from actual engineers out there, thanks) he's about ready to airlock himself.

He's a doctor, not a goddamn mechanic. It's like learning anatomy all over again, except this time he doesn't understand a single thing. Glory be, at least, they've finally graduated to trying fix the many issues in non-essential systems.

Like the kitchen, where McCoy is now making sure it all works again, after having spent hours trying to put it all back together. Spoiler: it doesn't go well. That's why he's waving away wisps of smoke and coughing a bit when he addresses the Fleet.]


I need an engineer. Again. [Sigh.] I'll pay you the going rate. Come on over to the Caprine. It's the ship in the most pieces over here. [There goes more credits. Everything exploded again. Someone just... put him out of his misery.]

[private comm to Beverly Crusher]
[So he's starting to regret thinking that someone should put him out of his misery. Really coming to regret that.] Hey. We need to talk. Let's meet somewhere.

Oh, well in that case, it should be simple enough. I could take care of that for you, no problem.

Again? [ oh that's a little sad. even the lowly microwave deserves more respect than to be blown up. numerous times ] Anyway, yeah. Simple enough if you know what you're doing, I mean. Which I generally do. With this type of thing.

So it was the Caprine, you said?

[ they're trying, it's true! how would they know for sure whether or not they could do it if they didn't at least try ] I'd appreciate that yeah, thanks. If it's not too inconvenient or anything. [ despite the fact that it was just offered ] I'm on the Iskaulit.
