Nalie materialized aboard the Protector, surrounded by a crew of engineers. As soon as they materialized, the group began moving toward their assigned positions. Four of them simply moved away from the beam-in site, which was filled with stacks of equipment that would be used throughout the day. More teams and equipment would follow over the next few hours. As the crews gathered their materials and tools, they set to work installing the grav plating that would keep both people and objects firmly in place. This plating was installed piece by piece, deck by deck, and the planned installation would likely take at least a day or two.
Nalie joined in with the work, not one to simply give orders and watch from a distance. She worked tirelessly, and even carried on short conversations with her fellow engineers. These discussions were, of course, always work-related and never personal, and the engineers had learned long ago to stay on topic while on duty. The work progressed quickly and steadily, even as the shift changed and different crews moved in to take over where the first had begun. Nalie, however, would continue through to the end of Beta shift.

A young Bajoran woman Nalie would recognize as Kara approaches Nalie during a break in the action.
"Um..excuse me m'am..."

Nalie looked up from her work to respond.
"Yes, Ensign? What can I do for you?"

The woman gives her a broad smile.
"I just wanted...to let you know that I acquired some real wing slugs...the Ferengi bartender will have them for you the next time you are in the lounge."

Nalie nods, her helmet hiding any real emotional cues.
"Thank you for letting me know. How is the installation on Deck Four progressing?"

Kara maintains her smile as she responds.
"On schedule, m'am...we could be approximately 53% ahead of schedule if we moved to double shifts. Did you hear about that Aquarius class that is sitting next to the starbase?"

Nalie nods and goes back to working on her grav plate.
"We could, but unless Command orders us to, I'm not going to put extra strain on our work crews. We're already two weeks ahead of schedule as it is, and I don't want to burn them out and risk delays."
She glances back toward the Starbase, where the Aquarius-class ship could barely be seen in the distance.
"That's the Hornet, probably. She's been in the fleet reserves for a while. I think Admiral Ross was using her... guess that means he's at the Starbase. Why do you ask?"

Kara nods and has an inquisitive look on her face.
"Scuttlebutt says Ross left it here without a crew...just seems rather strange."

Nalie shrugs and focuses on her work.
"Who knows? We've got more immediate tasks at hand anyway. This ship isn't going to assemble itself, you know."

Kara shrugs as well.
"You are correct of course, m'am...I'll get back to work."
She scurries off.
