INT-MAIN ENGINEERING

["SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD" BY BARRY MANILOW PLAYING]

Commander Williams, Lieutenant Carlson and Kyle Clarkson are working on the navigational array.

CARLSON (Conn Officer): (Off PADD) I can see why I chose to be a pilot and not an Engineer, (beat) I would go nuts replacing conduits and relays.

Williams puts her PADD down.

WILLIAMS (Smiles): I'm going to have a chat with Chief O'Brien about the navigational array, (beat) this relay that I removed is just too badly damaged in our recent battles with the Dominion.

Captain Taylor walks into Engineering.

TAYLOR: (To Williams) Report Commander how long till we can depart?
