Who was introduced next?
The mechanical engineer.
"Please welcome Allison Ng!" Julie cheered as Eva's portrait window shrunk and joined the rest of the Priapus Program crew at the bottom of the giant LED screen and a young attractive Chinese woman with shoulder length dyed blonde hair and a right eyebrow slit appeared on the display.
The studio audience cheered.
"Hey, Julie!" Allison smiled. "Hi, Jon and Mrs. Lee!"
Jonathan and his mother waved back at the screen.
"You have a master's degree in mechanical engineer from Caltech," Julie noted, glancing at her cue cards. "As a mechanical engineer what will you be doing during the project?"
"Before I answer, I want to concur with the rest of the girls that Jon's a hottie!" Allison chortled with a twinkle in her brown eyes.
The studio audience laughed and clapped.
One of the cameras focused on Jon's facial reaction and he just smiled and nodded, humbly accepting the fact everyone one of his crew thinks he's attractive.
"Sorry I couldn't help it," Allison apologized with a smirk. "To answer your question, I'll be like Scotty from Star Trek and make sure the facility's doesn't fall apart from the inside, especially the air scrubbers and air conditioners! I'll also be working with the other engineers on the crew on various experiments and projects, such as the latest iteration of MOXIE -- Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment -- which will electrochemically split carbon dioxide molecules into oxygen and carbon monoxide and then combine the oxygen molecules into breathable O2."
"Interesting," Julie nodded before glancing at her notes. "So you mentioned Scotty. You're a big Star Trek fan?"
"Yes!" Allison beamed. "I watched Star Trek as a little girl and because of the series I wanted to become an engineer! It was a dream of mine to join NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and I fulfilled it last year!"
"You just started your career with JPL but you're going to put it on hold for two years," Julie noted.
"Oh, I'm still with JPL but this time I'll be part of the experiment!" Allison smiled proudly. "Besides, I want to promote STEM for little girls who want to be the next Scotty or Geordi!"
"Allison mentioned that there are other engineers among the crew," Julie looked into a camera. "Let's meet them!"

Project Priapus
NASA's plan for a space harem.
One day human will journey to Alpha Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, on a generation ship -- this means they need the best men and women on a space ark. The protagonist was inspired by Jonathan Kim, an American US Navy lieutenant (and former SEAL), physician, and NASA astronaut.
