Jennie smiled. "Isn't it fate that the Captain found a ship named for a woman?" She smiled at the bronze embossed Greek figure. Around it were the founder names and the launch date. The bronze plaque was dark, but obviously polished, even if only with a rag. He cleared his throat. "Well, this ship is a Cabeiri class ship." Jennie and two of the other techs looked up confused. The guard frowned. "Actually, she's an epsilon generation of that class," he said and then shrugged at their blank looks. “Cabeiri were the descendants of the blacksmith god Hephaestus in Greek mythology," he explained. He cocked his head at their confused looks. "Greek?" "What is Cabeiri?" "You lost us." Jennie said as she looked to the others and then shrugged. He chuckled and continued splicing cables. "Ships have been named for various things for thousands of years. Famous people, or places, or myths." He looked up to the girls. They were all staring at him. "The Federation went with that mix as well, but eventually named the shipyards and programs after engineers and blacksmith mythology." He finished the splice and tucked the cable back into the wall panel, then pulled out another shredded one.
