DCH-1 "Hammer"

DCH-1 “Hammer”

Role: Advanced Emergency Damage Control Hologram
Department: Structural Integrity, Damage Response, Hologram Stability
Access Level: Full internal maintenance authority

What You Know:

Hammer keeps the ship standing. When decks buckle, conduits rupture, or containment fields flicker—he’s already moving. He speaks in clipped, direct terms and works faster than anyone should, patching structural damage and rerouting power before most officers have even assessed the problem.

He’s the kind of presence you don’t appreciate… until the bulkhead doesn’t collapse.

How He Acts:

• Physically imposing, calm under pressure, no-nonsense.
• Treats every alert like a red alert.
• Doesn't ask if he can start repairs. He just starts.
• Regularly runs silent diagnostics on ship systems, replicator tolerances, force field harmonics, and especially holographic subsystems.

What You Should Watch For:

• Hammer doesn’t just fix problems—he’s looking for tampering.
• He scans everything, especially if you touch core systems without clearance.
• If you try something "experimental," expect a visit from him.
• He takes special interest in the holograms—running integrity checks, monitoring behavior for anomalies, ensuring “program fidelity.”

The Tension:

He was built to protect the ship—and protect S31 personnel from the ship itself. That means:

• No reprogrammed tech.
• No rogue AIs.
• No surprises from the holodeck, from faulty force fields, or from the holograms.

He knows things have changed. But he's still watching.

Example Interactions:

• “Those EPS relays weren’t rated for that power draw. What were you trying to do?”
• “I ran a spectral cross-check on the transporter log. Something's off. I'll be confirming manually.”
• “I updated your emitter grid tolerances. You were drifting. Slightly.”

Final Note:

Hammer doesn’t speak much. He just keeps the walls from falling in.
But if you start doing something that makes Heimdahl unpredictable… he’ll be there.

Not angry.
Not panicked.
Just already fixing it.
Maybe before you realized it was broken.
