"War games, can you believe it. My first ship and I have to participate in a stupid game of war? What do these people think, im an amateur, incapable of fighting in the field of battle?" Ech'am was saying a little loud as the team from the station was assisting is refitting the ship with the neccessary equipment for these tests they would be putting the crew through.

"No lieutenant, that is not the purpose of war games. The purpose of war games is to test and improve the cohesion of a full ships complement. This is more then testing an individual, rather to work strategy against odds set against you to evaluate better approaches and tactics." Crenshaw said.

Turning around he saw someone in a garb that would suggest a sage in some cultures, or an ambassador in others. "Who might you be stranger?" Ech'am G'ginloss asked the oddly dressed person.

"Crenshaw is the name, and tactics is the game. I will be the one evaluating the engineering section on how well they perform on the functions of this section in the heat of battle. I see that i have not heard incorrectly about this ships passion." He replied.

"I see." Came the reply from the chief. "What do you mean by the passion of the ship? It's not something I am aware of in regards to this ship."

"The passion that this crew has shown in the past, the ingenious within the crew. In fact having looked over your starfleet record so far shows that you have been promoted ahead of several of your peers. What I dont understand is how you pulled it off. Do you mind explaining?"

"I have the mind of tinkering and building. More so then most of my family, and better then many others. In fact there was this one human, by the name of LeSean Timmons. He and I hit it off in year one and challenged each other to our limits and beyond. We bettered ourselves and stood out around others. It is partly because of him that I stayed out of trouble with others, and was able to host klingon karate. Anyways, because of a few breakthroughs in the academy they felt I should be posted here.

"Well then, why don't we check in with the team and see how they are coming along. After you."
