reverse engineer

Several meanings but among these is a new occupation / department that is affiliated or works with world-wide engineering and departments of rewrite.

For example: low-tech hackers, people who do everything wrong by accident or on purpose and are therefore well-positioned to think of loopholes or the what-ifs, and all of the people underrepresented at present in engineering (women, queers, blacks) at present (and subject to change).

3rd Engineer

A slightly evolved Neanderthal capable of using tools fashioned from stone for the purpose of making excessive noise, mess, and headache for the rest of the ship’s crew. Rarely seen outside of their dark cave like engine room due to their lack of social skills and appearance of a drowned bilge rat covered in gunk. Communication skills range from a grunt like sound to a snarky response. When encountered they can be found talking to themselves-because no one else will- or painting each other’s faces with oil.
