[quote=@Peaceless] [@LegionPothIX] [@Sep] is correct, it is definitely a cover. Maintenance crew is the easiest way to blend into a ship Chizuru doesn't actually want to take down. If Xaith knows all maintenance crew by heart he will find her out fairly easily, but hiding indefinitely was never the plan. It was an impulsive "board first, ask questions later" thing. You may all wait for my first IC before deciding retrospectively about the whole boarding thing. I'd've done it today but it's been kind of a crazy weekend and I'm glad I at least managed to get a sheet in before getting pounced by chores and mandatory socializing and whatnot. [/quote] Lt. Rorq, the NPC I've been talking about, handles all the personnel management, and Xaith only looks up a file when it's relevant. There's no reason to believe he has done so yet, as it hasn't become relevant for him to do so. As for Rorq I won't get into her strengths specifically here, as I've yet to really flesh out her (NPC) character, but they're not the same as Xaiths, so there's every reason to believe she'll accept the cover. Furthermore, it's in her nature to assume a person can do what their file says they can, and will offer assignments accordingly. As a member of the Engineering staff, you would have been present for everything that happened in engineering thus far (unless you decide not to have been) so feel free to use any of that. Also, if you want to use Rorq directly (who is still presently in Main Engineering), I can go into more detail regarding her leadership styles, and such, for you. Lt. Rorq is the second in command of the department, and acts more as Co-Chief than subordinate as many of the duties of chief engineer are things Xaith can't be arsed to do and delegates them to her.
