Kathy finished up the fixes to Block 3 and hurried on her way to a defensive system's console in Engineering to keep watch during the battle. The screeching joints of cannon 3A would have to wait. She would be needed here to make sure any malfunctions to defensive systems during battle would be noticed and fixed.

After a minute at her console, she realized that the pilot, officer... whatever his name was, wanted to reroute engine power to steering. Since Kathy had nothing to do for now, she decided to help out.
@Elitestpotato

"Alice, I can help with Officer Pilot's request. I have a really efficient algorithm I developed while working for an aerospace research company that can balance power between the engines and steering to give him the best of both speed and maneuverability. I'm coordinating with the respective engineering crews to get this working. The pilot should feel an improvement right... ... now!"

"Hrm... Nevermind. I was being sarcastic. This is what I get for being sociable. Well, defense systems all green. Beginning weapon systems diagnostics. I'll get to cannon 3A as soon as I'm done here. Oh, and Alice? Can I get a copy of that song you just played? It was pretty catchy."
@ClocktowerEchos

Then Kathy finished the weapon systems testings, revealing that the Weapons Block 3 (including cannon 3A) was having some sort of small signal interference, which wasn't bad, but would have a lag in response time. Kathy should have enough time to go over and make repairs before the fighting began.

"Report for the captain. Weapon systems is mostly green. There is a tiny malfunction in Weapons Block 3. It shouldn't be more than an annoyance, but I'm making my way over there right now. If there is time I'll space walk out to see if there is anything blocking secondary cannon 3A."

I think it's fine? People can get annoyances like that in real life and could be a bonding oppurtunity?

I'm working on a reply right now

Kathy was late. She had spent way too much time getting over her cryo-sickness and even now was still not fully recovered. This was her first time experiencing hyperspace travel. She new about the effects, and logically they didn't sound that bad, but the experience was one she didn't want to have again too soon. Kathy only briefly regretted accepting assignment on a space ship, but that quickly vanished with the smells of lubricants and duct tape, and the thought of soon to be unbroken devices and well deserved maintenance.
The on-duty engineering Chief, a well built and thick (probably military trained) dark-skinned man, annoyed by her tardiness, shouted at Kathy to do diagnostic checks on ships offense and defense Double-Time! The ship was about to enter combat and needed to be ready.

Kathy decided to check up on the defensive systems first. That would be more important than weapons if the ship were just about to enter combat. But she would soon get to the ship's weapons. Kathy paused a bit and thought about going to the hanger to make last minute checks on the fighters, and to stay around for when they come back battered and broken. There would be so much fixing required! It was tempting, but no, if there was no ship to come back to, then no amount of fixed up fighters would mean anything.

Proceeding with defensive diagnostics, Kathy addressed the ships AI Alice
"Alice? I'm starting diagnostics on the shields and ECMs before I do AA (anit-air) and secondary combat generators. So far initial checks are all Green, but I will re-confirm a few minutes. Please do a preliminary check on weapons status and let me know if there are any concerns that aren't being fixed fast enough elsewhere. A lady's gotta be presentable for the big party on Sotra, wouldn't you say?"

Seeing that Pallas was still out of it, Gharlyc and Edward grabbed under her arms and dragged her behind the bar with the others.
@karamonnom@Strafe

It was then that Gharlyc noticed Busker standing up, and for a moment, Gharlyc felt a bit of joy and relief. That however was short lived. As Gharlyc was looking Busker over for lingering injuries, he noticed the eyes and lack of breathing.

"no... No nonono no no. No! Hey! Hey~ buddy, look at me. Can you hear me? Can you hear-can you see your daughter, Wink over there? What's wrong? Eh? Well, whatever it is, we'll fix it ok? We'll get you patched up and running the tavern again in no time. Just sit down here and rest up ok? Leave things to your old pal Gharly...c..."

"Busker. Where are you going?"

Just wanted to know if there is a chief engineer that Kathy would answer to?

Convergence of Destiny, a Starship Military RP

Name: Kathy Kuznetsov
Age: 32
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Chloe is 6'5" tall.

Position: Petty Officer First Class

Personality: Kathy is a lady of few words. When she does speak, it's usually a gruff and short response. Unless if she talks about the strange inner workings of machines and computers, then she can almost talk non-stop. It's not that she dislikes or is unfriendly towards others, she just doesn't understand them so well, not like machines anyways. Machines are just so much more logical and easier to work with. Thus, she may find social interactions very taxing and will leave without apology or excusing herself. But even then, Kathy has been known to be a good and quiet listener. She may not know what to do with the information being spewed, but she will listen.
Rank or station don't impress Kathy. She more respects those who have a level head and know what they're doing. If the ship is in danger of breaking apart or she needs help at a crucial part of a repair, she Will issue commands and expect them to be followed, again, regardless of rank or station.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:

• Informal then formal mechanical engineering training
• Formal computer programming training
• Innate creativity and resourcefulness in coming up with improvised and unorthodox fixes (MacGyver)
• Surprisingly tremendous body and arm strength
• MMA mix of boxing, tai chi and judo
• Speaks English and Russian

History: Mr. Kuznetsov ran a little repair shop in Texas. Growing up, Kathy was always ordered to spend time with her father and help out. She would have absolutely hated this if not for the fact that she ended up loving the work. She even dropped out of highschool to work full time, but eventually earned her GED so she could go to college for further education.
Finding work in aerospace development and maintenance she made quite the name for herself for her efficient work and surprising effective hack fixes. She was recommended for a mechanic role on board the Convergence of Destiny and Kathy gladly accepted, since it would be a new experience and she knew her skill and knowledge would be pushed to the limit.

Making a mechanic character at the moment. Still working out some stuff in my head before I post.
