Fives sighed softly as he looked over the Master System Display before him
as he frowned, this ship was going to set sail with a computer system that
he considered subpar for the ships design but it wasn't the computer itself
was a weaker then average design.

“Vot is thy bidding my master?” Davis asked in the best Darth Vader voice
he could muster which to Five's ears sounded rather convincing as he sighed and scowled at the same time. "Knock that crap off!, I’m tired and it’s too fucking early for that Battlestar crap."

"Yes Master."

Fives turned his head as he regarded the russian officer as he narrowed his
eyebrow. "I mean it mister... but since you clearly have time to kill, go
debug the entire computer system."

"Sir. that'll take me hours."

"Yep.... Go to it Darth." Fives then smiled in a sardonic manner. "Well, go
aleady" as Fives shooed the other man over to the comoputer station as he
sighed softly.

Davis meanwhile had sat down at the computer station as he began working, he decided to go through the engineering sub systems first to weed out the issues but he knew he needed to go through the coding, line by line.

Fives meanwhile went over to the replicator and proceeded to order a ham and cheese sandwhich but what emerged was a rather large glob of goo on a plate.

"Sir what was that?" Davis inquired neutrally.

"It was supposed to be... a sandwitch." he sighed. "Looks like the replicators
are glitched."

Fredricks who had just came back into engineering overhead the entire exchange, came over. "I'm on it Chief." and with that the younger officer went to work as he pulled the cover off of the front of the replicator main control housing which he handed off to Fives who placed it on the deck nearby.

Fives tapped his combadge. "Fives to Bridge, the replicator system is on the
fritz, we're working on it..."

"Lovely... keep us informed please" Commander Yamaguchi replied dryly.

Fredricks sighed. "Yeah.. thought so." and with that he reached in and yanked
out the replicator waveguide. "Its broken. I need another please Chief."

"Sure." and with that Fives went into the nearby storage room as he proceeded to pull the second waveguide off of the shelf where it had been secured until now, he placed the dammaged one on the shelf as he opened his tricorder to quickly check the new one, a smile appeared on his face as he nodded. "Yep this one is good." he folded the tricorder and slipped it back onto his belt as he plucked the dammaged one off of the shelf and then made his way over to where Fredricks was working.

Fives raised an eyebrow. "Fredricks, on your left... your new waveguide."

A hand reached out and grasped it. "Thank ever so much Chief." and with that
he was able to quickly restore the replicator system and within ten minutes
he was finished. "Computer, a glass of white milk, two percent please." and
with that a drink appeared, he plucked it off of the replicator tray as he
sniffed it, it didn't smell funny and with that he took a sip. "Mm... okay...
this replicator is fixed Chief."

"Computer, run a level two diagnostic of the replicator systems on the Yorktown.?" Fives inquired.

The replicator systems are working within normal parameters." as Fives smiled
"Bridge, Engineering... the replicators are now working again."

Commander Yamaguchi's voice came back. "Understood Chief, Nice work."
