[Spam for the Engine Room + Level Eight]
[Trip hasn't necessarily been avoiding Felix since they got back from port, but he's certainly giving him space, which is why he's been careful to avoid hanging around the engine room while he's scheduled to be there. Apart from that, though, doing some work down there on trying to figure out how exactly this ship ran and what they could to to keep it running was a pretty good distraction from feeling like he'd made the biggest mistake of his life agreeing to come here.
So he's become a relatively common sight entering and leaving the engine room, occasionally covered in grease or grime or dust, and he works quietly if anyone else isn't interested in conversation, or engages more or less enthusiastically if the rest of the staff's willing not to be intolerable to talk with.]
[Private to Felix, after this thread.]
Dean told me what happened. You alright?

[Some part of him wonders if he should ask about the port, given what's been happening to others aboard the ship (like Mal, who had barely spoken about the things she'd faced but the disgust had radiated off her in waves).]
Are you having difficulties with the engines?
[Referring to the... suspicious coat of engine grease.]

Aside from the usual "no one's actually all that sure how this thing works" nonsense, nope. She's purring like a kitten.
[See, he's basically a more good natured McCoy, metaphors and all.]

I am told that there is usually considerable damage sustained due to the ship's poor steering. Perhaps we may require a pilot from amongst the passengers, as a precaution.
