Star Trek: Starbase 777 - ship-jefferies-tubes

The romulan slinked through the tubes, climbing up in both a workout and a way to pass the time quickly. Huff after huff, he brought himself up deck by deck. Since romulans didn’t sweat he was fine on that front even more. “Ah, destination....” He spoke to himself, climbing up and sitting in a horizontal tube to rest a small bit. He was a tall man and rather slim, folding his arms across his chest as he let his legs stretch and take over the tube he was in.

Guess who else was climbing through the tubes? It was one Maggie Roode moving through the tubes like a weasel, she had been on ship to help someone else with a project and was now on the way back to the station. She was lightly humming a song to herself as she moved, and found herself face to face with Satok. “Oh! Hello there!” Oh lord not another encounter in the tubes.

He looked back at her with a half brow furrow, a vulcanoid nonverbal ‘greetings’ in return. He smiled and pulled his legs back in case she wished to pass. “Hello. How’s it going? Exploring the labyrinth of tubes on this vessel?”

Maggie blinked as she looked at the person sitting across from her with a bit of a shocked look on her face. “Oh! Uhhhhh, yeah I was just on my way back to the station after helping one of my friends with something. So, I guess you could say that. How about you?”

“Climbing and hanging out in here. Heh. Heading to get my physical from a doctor around here so I know I am healthy enough to begin,” Satok replied in a cordial tone. He scratched his neck and looked down the way before looking back at Maggie. “I’m Satok Aylek, romulan lieutenant serving aboard the Eventide now as their ops chief. You?” He asked, wishing introductions.

Maggie smiled as she looked towards the new person in the tubes. “Well it’s lovely to meet you then. I’m Maggie Roode, science officer. I’m on the station most days! And what brings you out here to this station?”

“Hmm... well, this is my next posting, I was assigned here to take up a vacant post when the last officer transferred out for reasons unknown to me. It’s lovely to meet you as well, Miss Roode. Need help... navigating to your destination?” He questioned.

Maggie nodded as she looked towards the Satok. “Nice, and no no! I took the same route to my friends place so I’m just going to go the same place, and nice! This is my second posting!”

"Oh, fun! This is my... hmm, fourth posting. First one was my shortest, second was my longest. I hope to draw more from this and... hopefully transfer to command within the next few years. But- those are my ambitions. Hmm... well..." The man yawned and shrugged... "You liking this posting so far?"

Maggie nodded with a small smile as she looked towards the man. “Oh for sure! This posting has been rather fun, and it has great folks! So yeah! I am liking it so far!”

“They are good people... lots of romulans too. First posting I’ve seen more of them than any others so far... even though I grew up on Earth. I would love to chat more but... I need to scoot out and get my physical. You wanna get some breakfast some time? Mess hall’s empty around the time I get up...”

Maggie nodded as she looked towards him. “Sure! I’ll talk to you later!” She said as she started crawling past the man and back towards the station.

“Okay, see ya!” He said, shuffling along the way yet again before long.

Austin and his team maneuvered through the tubes, hopefully they'd be able to find a good vantage point to at the very least get some recon if not to stun whatever subversives were in engineering.

[D]After a lot of tight squeezes through the already small ship, Austin and his team made it to Engineering, coming out in the #deck-7-hallway.

Milo crawled as fast as he could to the ops hub. He knew Security would be hot on his heels soon, and there was one more thing he had to do before he considered his mission even remotely a success.

She made haste, quickly climbing in and doing her best to make her way down to deck 8.

She climbed as quickly as she could to #deck-8-hallway

She quickly entered, making her way to deck 7.
