attempting to engineer new things doesn't always end well

Who: Ezri Dax and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Caprine
When: 6/5

[Awhile back, she'd toyed with the idea of building a replicator in the hopes of making clothes and more palatable food available to the fleet. And it had taken since about then for Ezri to find all the parts she would need. It might not be incredibly efficient at first but she could improve it gradually once she finished.

Off and on over a couple weeks, she worked at it in the cargo bay and, today, she turns on her communicator with a smile.]

I've been working on a little project lately and I should finish today, I thought I'd share my progress.

[She sets it down, tilted towards the device she's working on and gets back to work. About ten minutes later there's a loud BANG and the immediate area starts filling with smoke. She's quick to smother the cause and then mutters a curse.]

I've been a scientist and and engineer- that should have worked.

[Not if he has anything to do with it, nope.]

Ah, but one I will take diligently, Mon étoile. You are worth it.

[Just a soft laugh.]

You're going to be very busy then.

I promise you, it will be worth every second.

I'll be sure to save every message.

Aww, you will?

What kind of person would I be if I didn't? Besides, I might need a quick moodboost one day.

Then I am happy my efforts may go to boosting your mood and keeping that beautiful smile alive.

[He's too sweet.]

If I ever leave the fleet, I'll have to leave a note promising to keep smling.

It will be a sad day when you leave, mon étoile, but I am glad for that.

You give me too much credit, I think. I'm glad to hear I'd be missed though. It's always nice to realize you made an impact.

I don't think you get enough enough. And of course! I would miss you very much.

[Probably more than he'd be willing to really admit. ]

I would miss you too.

[Also more than she'd be ready to admit.]

Merci, mon chere. Of course, the is an awful lot about me to miss.

And I've only just started getting to know you so I guess I have a lot to learn.

Oh, you do! You'll have a fascinating journal learning all about me, I promise you!

I'm going to need a whole journal, hm?

Perhaps even a few volumes of journals!

I'll have to go shopping in the next system then!

[She'll do it.]

A wise choice indeed, ma cherie.

[Oh, Lumiere. What have you done?]

I hope none of them go to waste.

[Nothing he regrets, that's what. ]

I promise you that they absolutely will not~
