This is a welcome and informational post to all new crew members. My name is Allen Gentry, and I am one half of head of the Engineering department, along with Billy Cranston. I hope the omnicoms are working out for you, but if they're not, or you have any other tech-based questions, stop by the Engineering Department
(click here for a map) any time between 900 and 1800 hours and someone will be around to can help you.
Actually, given our perpetual-shut-in nerd hours, you can pretty much go in at ANY of the hours and meet somebody who can help you.
A lot of you are from worlds where technology hasn't advanced as much as it has here on the meatship, and those of you from worlds more similar to mine may be minors still partway through your educations. Maybe you're none of these, and just interested in learning a thing or two. Some crewmembers are currently organized in conducting weekly classes on various subjects, and slots are still open for anyone who is an expert on a subject who would be willing to teach it. Please see
this post for a current roster of classes and timeslots. Attendance is open, but do treat your instructors with respect, especially if they're Bene Gesserit, because 9 times out of 10 they can either out-think or out-pound you, and somehow get away with it.
This is also a reminder to current instructors to give me your chosen timeslots if you haven't yet. It may be common knowledge to your current students where and when classes are being held, but we have a growing population here.
Any questions?
