Summary
Being a new engineer on base was… stressful. The actual rigidity of it—learning a new schedule, familiarizing yourself with the ships— was easy. There was a structure, there was a right and wrong. That you could work with.The hard part was meeting people. Making friends. Not that anyone would know by interacting with you— social situations were just more complex, temperamental systems. There was input and output. You could navigate social situations, make friends, and diffuse tension as well as anyone—but it was tiring.And sometimes you forgot your own limitations.
