--Engineering--
Elaine and Midori stepped from the turbolift, and were immediately greeted by ensigns with mops and towels running back and forth from the nearest replicator.  The reason became obvious when they entered the main section: the floor was soaked, and the engineers were valiantly trying to prevent any water from getting into critical systems.  Even though Sulu's impromptu replicator setup had been dismantled, there was still a lot of water in the tube; someone had likely reactivated it for several more seconds during the process of taking it down.  In light of all the chaos, Midori did the only sensible thing she could think of: she swiped a phaser from one of the security ensigns rushing about with towels, set it to its lowest possible setting and in a fan blast, and began vaporizing the water.
"Towels, men?  Really? This is the 2500s, people."
But everyone was too busy to respond.  Meanwhile, an open panel sparked at Elaine's shoulder.

--Arboretum--
"Here, plant these Keldorian glowtree saplings in planter 16-B.  Be sure you turn on the forcefield separations at half a meeter, we don't want these growing too deep since we'll have to transplant them in six months anyway."
