In green, messy text: Sobbing, whining noises. "Wuuhh uaaa"

Rutherford: ew, gross. What is that? Coolant leak?

Image 2:

Rutherford: Oh, that is not an, uh, coolant leak

Green bubble text: OOOOUU uuuaaaa (more sobbing)

Rutherford: Hey... ensign Guz? Is that you?

Green bubble text: UAAA (scream-sobbing)

Image 3:

Rutherford: So uh... Billups sent me to check what that sound was.

Green text: *sniff* sorry.

Rutherford: Are you okie... err... okay?

Green text: Nooo.

Rutherford: Do you want to talk about it?

Guz: ...OK.

Rutherford: What's wrong?

Guz: Sss... so mmmmuch... I--I... I CAN'T...

Rutherford: Well, uh, why don't we start with what you're doing in the tubes? It's not your shift for another 4 hours.

Image 4:

Guz: I was trying to distract myself from overstimulation.

Rutherford: Mhm.

Guz: So I decided to go work on the impulse-field regulator.

Rutherford: Oh yeah! We've been riding rough at impulse the past few weeks.

Guz: But I... I guess I was so... so STUPID that I got... I got l...

Image 5:

Guz: I got...

Guz (enormous melty green bubble text): LOST

Rutherford: L... LOST!?

Guz: I KNOW. I'm such a terrible engineer I can't even get around my OWN ship.

Guz (melty letters): I'm so bad at my job...

Rutherford: What--No! There's no one on this ship who knows Reaction Control Systems and Impulse Theory better than you do! You're a GREAT engineer!

Image 6:

Rutherford: hey, Guz. I understand what it's like, y'know, being overwhelmed and overstimulated...

Rutherford: What happened, Guz?

Guz: Do you know Ensign Tendi?

Do British people say Jeffries Chubes

[mythomagically-delicious]

I need every scene where an engineer banged his head coming out of the Jeffries Tubes.

Specifically, I’d like one of O’Brien banging his head on the way out and swearing like a sailor (it’s been a long day of fixing practically every system on the station with no thank-yous to be heard) only to turn around when someone clears their throat and it’s Sisko who reminds O’Brien to watch his mouth on duty. Julian also hears this outburst and takes him out to Quarks after shift.

Transcript and bonus clean version of the Jeffries Tubes diagram below the cut.

Image 1:

Guz and Rutherford are crawling through the Jeffries Tube, a tight corridor.

Rutherford: So, you have a crush on Tendi? (that's understandable) Guz (melty text): a CRUSH!? WHAT? Rutherford: A-a crush? Guz: Isn't that what you said? Rutherford: Yeah, I'm just. Surprised you didn't know what that means-- Guz: I DONT WANT TO CRUSH TENDI! Rutherford: NO! No, a crush is... hmm. ...when you feel romantic feelings (or more) for someone... and you don't know if they reciprocate.

Image 2: Guz and Rutherford continue crawling. Guz: That doesn't sound right. Romance is a biological function that leads to procreation in allosexual solids, right? Rutherford: I guess? Guz: Mellanoid Slimes don't have sexes. If I wanted a child, I could bud right here in this jeffries tube. A small growth appears in Guz's hair with black beady eyes and a neutral expression. It has a color gradient from Guz' green to cyan to purple. Rutherford: Well, Mellanoids don't have gender, right? Guz looks pensive. The bud growth retracts back into her hair. Guz: They're not supposed to... Rutherford is smiling enthusiastically. Rutherford: But you do! You could be anything you want but you choose to be a woman. Guz, still pensive: ...I don't CHOOSE to be a woman. Guz's expression turns determined: I am a woman. Rutherford: My point is even if it's not normal for your species, maybe you DO feel romantic feelings--or something like it--for Tendi.

Image 3: Image depicts the Jeffries Tubes from an isometric perspective, which are access corridors running parallel to and perpindicular to the hallways of the starship. They are cutaway to show their insides. The image resembles an infographic. In a horizontal Jeffries Tube, Guz and Rutherford crawl forward. Guz: I dunno. I just. I want to be around her. And I want her to spend time with me. And I want to-- Rutherford: Sounds like a crush to me! In a vertical junction with a ladder, Rutherford and Guz are standing upright. Guz looks shocked, and says: But I don't wanna... you know, procreate with her (how even would I?) R: Neither do I--I MEAN! uh... neither would I. Having climbed up the ladder to the next vertical Jeffries Tube, Guz is resting, looking a little melty, and Rutherford is climbing up through the hatch and looking at her. G: Well, maybe I dont have a "crush" but a "squish." R: "A squish?" G: "Y'know..." Guz pinches her cheek and pulls it out. It has a gelatinous texture so it stretches far. G: "A squish!" R: "Haha! I like that!"
