Overview of the Incident: Upon arrival to the station I realized that the surface level was without power and that a multitude of emergency shutters had been closed. I overheard Supply staff discussing the sale of phoron canisters to the department from Engineering, and something regarding the purchase of a singularity engine. After some back and forth and heading to my office I realized that after looking at my Quartermaster console that Cargo Technician Layla Starr had processed orders for a singularity engine and a radiation collector tray, both of which were not properly tendered through the payment system and drew from the cargo account. Layla Starr and Cargo Technician Safaa Sadar claimed that it was "paid for" by engineering through the fulfillment of the phoron canister bounty, to which I found out that Engineering had completely emptied their phoron reserves and were unable to properly sustain the supermatter engine. Speaking with Engineering Apprentice Elise Deshayes I discovered that Station Engineer Julian Chet had spearheaded the effort to build a singularity engine in the Tesla bay, completely neglecting the supermatter engine and disassembling the Tesla engine and leaving the station in partial darkness and without the protection of shields from meteors. This resulted in a number of damaged locations on the surface from a meteor shower, which is why the emergency shutters had been closed prior to my arrival. Though the cargo account had eventually recovered the initial balance on my arrival was lower than our starting balance, indicating that the phoron bounty had NOT in fact covered the costs. No proper authorization was sought for the construction of this engine, let alone the purchase of such expensive parts. Chief Engineer Marshal Burns arrived shortly after myself and spent the duration of the shift having to salvage the situation, and shared with me further details on the matter listed here as the situation progressed. Corporate Liaison Cart Kanara was also advised, but it seems that his counsel was largely ignored.

Submitted Evidence:
Attached are screenshots of my Quartermaster console from my office, indicating the purchases of the engine and tray, as well as the resting cargo account balance. If you notice, neither payment were properly tendered and left unpaid.

Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Chief Engineer Marshal Burns and Corporate Cart Kanara were present and involved in the issue, I consulted with them both separately.

Actions taken: Considering that the damage had been done long before I arrived, I collected evidence of the purchases and spoke with my staff about avoiding said issues in the future. Marshal Burns spent the duration of the shift attempting to restore power to the station. 

Additional Notes: I was notified by other staff that the same Julian Chet was granted "authorization" to build a Tesla engine in the bar, for reasons which I have yet to discern. This may be something better discussed with Liaison Kanara, as I was not present for the matter.
