Report To Engineering- Scotty

You stood at attention as you watched the Senior Officers of the Enterprise beam onto the transporter pads before you. You checked the red shirts to spot their Cheif Engineer, your blood boiling a bit at the thought of another CE looking at and possibly tinkering with your precious mechanical child.

You spotted two red shirts but only one of them stood out to you as the Enterprise crew followed your captain out of the transporter room. You could hear his Scotish accent echo off the walls. His shoulders were broad and despite his residing hairline, you found him to have a kind face and his features easy on the eyes.

You were pulled out of your not so subtle observance when you heard your name called by your Captain Richards.

"Gentleman, this is my Cheif Engineer and my niece, (Y/n)."

You nodded to the crew of men, the small smile on the Scotsman's face not passing your notice.

"Mr. Scott, if I understand correctly you are the CE of the Enterprise." Your uncle addressed the older red shirt.

"Aye, sir."

"Treat her well as she shows you the upgraded core and fuel lines. I will show the rest of you your respected areas. It truly is a pleasure being the first to show you the new upgrades."

Captain Richards gave your arm a kind squeeze like he normally did before he left with the remainder of the crew. You turned to Mr. Scott to find him already looking at you, that dumb smile still plastered to his face. You let out a little snort, a small smile pulling at your lips.

"Come on. I have a feeling you will find this a lot more interesting."

He fell into step next to you, his eyes taking in the elaborate new ship interior as you lead the way. "I find that hard to believe, lassie. How does she run?"

Your face lit up at not only his implied compliment and but at the mention of the ship engine herself. You practically skipped down the hall. "Beautifully! I used to be jealous of the Enterprise and the power under her hood. But the Majesty, though small, could never be topped now that she has been fitted with the newest upgrades Starfleet issued while the Enterprise was saving lives, as per usual."

Scotty let out a deep laugh, his smile lighting up the hallway a bit more. "It is a wee bit addicting to throw caution to the wind."

You let out a giggle. "I know the feeling." You opened your arms to the engine room, your smile so wide you were sure it was stuck like that. "Here she is."

Scotty stood in awe at the pure magnificence. "How do you ever find the energy to pull yourself away from her?"

You turned to him grabbing his arm excitedly. "With great difficulty. At one point my Uncle had to have me sedated and brought out. Come on, you are going to love the new particle articulation accelerator!"

Scotty smiled as he let you lead him all over the new engine room. He had only known you for a few minutes be he already liked you. A lot. You showed him every little thing and he found himself enjoying every bit of it. But at one point Scotty noticed some of the stabilizer levels fluctuating to the point he got slightly worried.

He pointed it out to you but you waved it away. You had already checked that several times. You credited it to a faulty indicator. But all the same, Scotty had you made a note to get it checked at the Starfleet station. You found it sweet he worried, so to appease him you did.

The two of you talked for hours before Captain Richards called for the two of you to meet him in his ready room to talk about getting the Enterprise fixed with the same get-up. Scotty made sure to stay by your side, liking the feeling of being around someone like him. You knew what you were talking about, your face would light up and you spoke really fast. Plus you looked good in red.
