You let out a soft sigh as the only sound heard in the room was the sound of the rubber ball Trip was bouncing off the wall again and again.
Staring at your shoes, you felt restless, but knew there was nothing to do, even as an engineer. The Enterprise was stuck in a storm that shut down the ship. Everything except life support and basic operations was down.
There was no work to be done, nothing that could be done, so you were all just waiting for the storm to pass. It had been three days, but it felt like three years. The pent up boredom was getting to you all as you sat around.
Trip finally let out a frustrated sigh as he leaned forward at the table "I'm gonna go crazy if I don't find something to do."
"Go for a run" Malcolm suggested as he sat nearby flipping through a manual.
Trip gave him a side-eyed look that told everyone exactly how he felt about that.
"Yeahhh, no. Let's play a game" He said instead as he turned towards you and Hoshi.
The two of you spoke at once, as you shook your heads fervently.
"I'm not saying we play Monopoly again!" Trip defended himself as the tension rose in the room at the memory of how that went.
"Or Life." Travis spoke up from nearby.
"Or even Scrabble, you guys really do need to tone down the competitiveness." You said as you looked between Trip, Malcolm and Travis.
"We aren't that bad!" Trip said with a chuckle.
