(Collab between myself and Draconis)

It was a busy day for Captain Juvum already, before Admiral White asked for a status update at 14:00. He sat in the chair in his Ready Room, tapping his communicator. "Captain Juvum to Lieutenant Commander K'Laa."

Simia had actually slept in that morning, having stayed up incredibly late to help fix issues with the EPS grid. It still hadn't been sorted when he had finally gone to bed. He couldn't figure out why only certain levels were malfunctioning and others working perfectly. He had only just finished dressing when his communicator chirped and a voice called him. "This is Lieutenant Commander K'laa, sir, go ahead." He had been dreading this, what had happened now? What else had broken. They were supposed to launch already and he was somehow behind schedule. How does a new ship have so many faults? He would have to have a word with the people who built it. Those words would likely get him court martialled however.

"I have problems that need to be fixed before 13:00 today. First, the doors on deck 6 keep opening and closing on their own, and second, the Viewscreen on the bridge keeps playing this Ferengi ad over and over again. I don't care who or how, but get it done." It was clear by the tone of his voice that Captain Juvum was much more commanding and serious today as opposed to yesterday in Ten Forward. He had planned on setting off at 17:00, but that might seem a little optomistic at this point, given that those two problems were only the tip of the iceberg. "And if you can somehow squeeze it in, the replicators in Ten Forward have malfunctioned again."

Simia sighed, his internal rage building he momentarily closed the communication so that he could shout in the relative seclusion "HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN!?" he roared at the walls. How does a Ferengi Ad get on the main viewer? The rest were easy enough to understand but the advert worried him as it was slightly abnormal.
He switched on his communicator again "Aye sir, I'll send people out to get this looked at straight away and I'll sort the doors myself. If anything else comes up, I'll have to add it to the list. I'll wake the nightshift engineers and get them on to these issues as well." With that he paused the communication to pass out his orders, using a combination of his datapad and communicator to issue them before he set off in a rush for deck 6. Then the EPS Grid was next. Hell that was probably what was causing the majority of these issues.

[hr]

Captain Juvum turned off his communicator and took a breath. Nothing was going right. Practically everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. His mother called that 'Murphey's Law.' Finishing his coffee, he recycled the cup and went onto the bridge. Nobody else was there at the time, and the Ferengi ad was still playing. He went over to the Engineering station and reviewed the latest internal scan. It was a longshot, but he'd do anything to turn off that damned ad.
