Mission 0.1 - Engineering
For some reason, it miffed Jessica to have LT Commander Deckar give orders to her while he was in engineering... Feeling this also felt foreign to the young engineer, almost even shocking herself at realizing it. Likely, her mouth was even slightly agap and her gaze would drift down as it subconsciously showed she was thinking.
The convolution of emotions quickly flashed on her face as she turned towards the exiting officer. However, her sense of duty quickly drew her back to the situation at hand and she snapped herself back into a neutral expression.
Just as she seemed to be about to speak, Thani gave an estimate of the situation, "I appreciate the praise, the situation is now stable here and both my command and presence is needed in main engineering at this time. As our science officer has said, it's not over yet." Drawing a smile, she nodded to the two while stepping closer to them. "I think we are all headed to the same location now," then turning to address the warp core room in a more stern voice "Since Communications are strained, I am putting Lieutenant Blatt in charge of this room, unless I or someone of higher rank comes in here and gives you an order then you are to look to him with the same authority of chief engineer."
Then, turning to Officer Blatt and quickly switching to a more respecting tone "please send whoever you don't need to main engineering, so that we can distribute them across the ship for a system reset. Also, manage the reset of the warp cores systems."
If Thani and Decker were still at the Jeffries tube leading to main engineering, she would step up behind them to follow while maintaining a respectful smile to regard them with. As the situation calmed, she was starting to feel her sense of social concern and anxiety slowly start to creep in, no longer overpowered by stress and adrenaline... she could already tell she was mentally fussing and fidgeting over the right thing to say and this likely was starting to show a little in her demeanor as concern crept into her face as well. Not an 'omg we are going to die' concern, but a distinct 'did i say the right thing' concern.
OOC: fixed some syntax, ignore the edit.
