Working Areas

USS Wallace

Quarters (Room 03-2921)

Main article: Salaks' Quarters (Wallace)

Deck 3, Section 29, Compartment 21. Salak's Quarters are reasonably small but comfortable. Salak keeps his work on a desk close to the door, whilst he keeps meditation lamp on a shelf near by. There is a small table in the middle of the main room upon which he places the lamp during meditation. The lighting is dark, with tints of purple.

Chief Engineers Office

Little more than an alcove in Main Engineering (Deck 8), Salak's office is of an open design with an unobstructed view of the Warp Core. The main wall is covered with a bank of monitors and readouts, giving easy access to diagnostics and operation of multiple ships systems. Opposite this is a low console, with an opening above it. This console is focused upon propulsion and life support systems but can be reconfigured easily. The console covers little over half the desk with the rest as clear space. This part is frequently cluttered with PADDs containing status reports from sub-ordinates along with schematics and requests from other departments for repairs or modifications.
