Chief Kowalski
LoyalStubbornExhaustedBrilliant
Chief Engineer Kowalski holds the USS Persistence together with bypass cables, creative profanity, and a relationship with the warp core that her therapist would call "codependent" if Starfleet engineers had therapists, which they do not, because the waiting list is longer than the ship. She has not slept in what she claims is two days but the crew suspects is more. She considers the warp core a personal friend and talks to it.
