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.

because sometimes bad plots need an all-purpose genius.]I was chief engineer for a very short time. [Not really a brag since everything went hideously wrong.] Although my knowledge is badly outdated compared to yours.

Outdated or not, everything we still use is built on what you had. I'm sure we can work through any dated knowledge.
