Actually had a different picture at first. Being stationed in the Engineering Division at first, He had seen the lack of support first hand. However it wasn't due to trained personal not wanting to. It was far more insidious then that. It was a lack of understanding and education. Commander Bonham had just taken a risky gamble from what Noonia was thinking, but Noonia had an idea already.

They of course could service thier own things, but without bodies this section would collapse. Instead of half of the Engineering division sitting on their hands even in an emergency, the section could be spread. In fact, Engineering could create a whole new section that just supported the Flight Deck. Lt. Jr. Noonia would know these things, having A. been a part of a large ship crew before and B. building a comraderie with his fellow engineers. Lt. Jr. Noonia always enjoyed teaching and learning, it's part of the reason he stayed out of the Limelight. Not because he couldn't, but because it felt right to see others succeed and learn and grow.

Part of him was in the moment, listening to the Trials and Tribulations. The other part of him realized that this was a chance for him to do some good that was beyond a normal ken. "I am not the ranking officer of Engineering, and I realize that I'm hardly stepping foot in your Domain before stating this. However, I intend after my shift to go speak with the Head Engineer, and if I need to the Captain. We've got more than enough Manpower to handle Ship Operations and Repairs even under extreme duress. With some proper training, we could get the support needed to cover refit and repairs here so it's not just an isolated endeavor. Worst case, I can always poll for Volunteers from the Engineering Base itself."

Lt. Jr. Noonia lifted his hand and encompassed the Flight Deck. "This is the purpose of this Ship. We're not a ship of peace and exploration, but one of defense for the Federation. The modifications to this ship have been so that this Flight Deck can launch a very old Type of Warfare into a very new environment." the fist clenched and lowered. "This deck may be the thin line of difference whether or not we go home. In engineering I've always wondered about the purpose of the USS Thunderchild and its focus." A burning sense of purpose struck him here. Perhaps it was fruitless, but if Mordecai didn't try, then what was the point of him being here? His eyes narrowed slightly. "So, I am prepared to learn. I will not take this oppourtunity lightly Lieutenant Paxton. Nor will I slack Lieutenant Duncanson. So please, teach me."
