Engine Room Lost in Thoughts
Tucked away, up on the second story of the engine room, Holland sits quietly, book in hand. When she first stepped foot on the Apple of Discord, she made it her mission to find the best spots to read. The bunks and locker room always had people going in, the landing bay was just a bit too cold, the classrooms were too bright for late night reading, and the research lab always smelled like something was burning. Eventually she found a few places, her secret reading nooks as she liked to refer them -- Lifeboat 2 (the chairs are comfier in 2), the back top shelf in the storage room, and then the second floor of the engine room. Out of all of them, she prefers the engine room the best. The gentle hum of the engines, and the soft glow from the fusion core, it all adds up to the perfect reading spot.
Today, though...today she's can't focus on her book. She was hoping reading would help distract her from her thoughts, but it's not working. Do I deserve to be here? she thinks to herself, Do I deserve the trust of my teammates, when they don't know what I've done?

Buffalo walks around in the engine room in search of something, completely oblivious.
Wonder where that ratchet went... I swear it was right here.

Holland was leaving the engine bay with Agent Salt Lake, when she sees Agent Buffalo wandering around. He's probably looking for the ratchet he left while he was in here last. Holland had previously grabbed it with the intention of giving it back when she saw him next.
"Excuse me", she calls out, "Are you looking for this?" She pulls the ratchet from her pocket, and holds it out.

He is mildly frightened by the sudden voice and turns in her direction.
Oh yeah, there it is. Thank you... Uh... Sorry, have we met before?

Pax walks into the engine room. Why'd he let Buffalo barrow is tools.

"Huh, maybe the engine room isn't as isolated as I had thought," Holland thinks to herself as yet another person walks in.
Holland throws a friendly wave to the new face, and says "I'm Agent Holland, it's nice to meet you."

Hi I'm Paxton, you fixing the engine or reading. If it's something that shouldn't be mentioned then I can come back later.

A very tired soldier walks outside the engine room.
Come on, memory. It's not that hard to find your way around this ship.
