Well, since he's a Space Engineer I think they focus more on the Wrath of Clang.

I get the strong impression that if not for biological incompatibility Dinah would have propositioned our dear dragon back in the academy. I still ship it. Battle "princess" x dragon is a good combo.
Also gender incompatibility. Dinah seems to be exclusively into women.
Red is for command crew I think?
So Zephyr being the head engineer, so one of the command crew, wears red rather than yellow?

... I would say no. Geordi Laforge is the Head Engineer on Enterprise and wore gold (although he did a stint at Command in the first season and later transferred).
Pretty sure they changed the colours' meaning with every new show, so it doesn't really need to be consistent.

It's been fairly consistent since TNG came out.
And blue has always been Science/Medical.

Ah that.
It's actually an episode in Deep Space 9.
During it, the crew of the Defiant went back in the past during Kirk's encounter with the Tribbles. Our dear doctor Bashir looked at Miles and Sisko and asked if they got their uniform color wrong.
Sisko then explained that the Command and Operation colors were swapped back then.
The blue of Science is the only consistent color during the entire series.
Except for a while when it was green.
Or even before that when all the uniforms were shades of grey.

Or when everyone wore Red jackets.
Departments are indicated by the colour of the shoulder strap, arm band, and collar. The colours include white for command; gold for engineering; gray for science; lilac for communications and navigation; dark green for security; light green for medical; dark blue for operations; light blue for special services; and red for junior officers and officer cadets.

Something tugged at my left horn, "Hey, wake up!"
I slowly blinked my eyes open and looked up at Dinah, "Huh?" I asked smartly. It was still dark out, the stars shimmering above. The only light was a faint glow from the forcefield fence, all other lights were off.
"Get up, we need to move," she said, her voice serious, "We got a call from Voyager, half a dozen Kazon ships are on the way, they'll reach orbit in ten minutes."
"Shit, they could swat us from orbit," I said, instantly awake and pushed myself onto my paws.
Dinah nodded, "Or send down landing craft. Voyager and the Val Jean are bugging out and will try to draw them off. There isn't time to take the shuttles up, we're evacuating the camp."
Into the dinosaur infested forest.
Isn't that just awesome.
"Come on, Chakotay is having everyone gather by the south fence for a briefing," she said and started in that direction. There were some additional lights there, looked like hand units.
I shook my head once, trying to get the last sleep out of my brain before I reached and put my helmet onto my head. Then I followed her towards the gathered group.
Chakotay looked around, "Alright, that's everyone. We don't have a lot of time, so I'll be brief. Our best shot is to split into small groups, no more than two or three. This will make it harder for their sensors to pick us out from the native wildlife. It's not in the Starfleet manual, but we learned that one in the Maquis."
"One concern," I said, "Two or three will be very easily eaten."
Chakotay shook his head, "We have phasers, Lieutenant, but firing them will show on sensors. Even if they don't have any handheld ones, their shuttles will. So everybody should avoid using them if at all possible. Spread out through the forest and find a tree to climb, keep away from the local wildlife."
Not really helping my monkeys thing, Chakotay.
"We can also put our tricorders on sensor scattering," Dinah said, "But keep it low level, just enough to disrupt your species signature. Keep them guessing."
"Alright, we're out of time," Chakotay said, "Everybody, spread out and keep com silent. Voyager or Val Jean will contact us when they return."
Everyone broke into teams and Torres walked and turned off the fence. The slight hum died down, and we were left with just the silence of the night and the hooting of some animal in the distance.
Dinah patted the side of my neck, "And I'm staying right next to the dragon."
We're dispersing through the jungle. Our best shot was to spread out, Chakotay was right there, but I could do things most of them couldn't. I discovered that much in training.
In fact, carrying gear would make me more easy to spot, not harder.
Hesitating for a second, I thought it through. My gear involved my helmet, which had a phaser in addition to my tricorder. Was the chance for it to get spotted worth having the phaser and tricorder?
The damn thing was painted Starfleet white. It'd stand out like a spotlight in a dark forest.
Damn it.
I turned my head and glanced at her, "You are not, you're going into a tree. I'm already almost impossible to pick up on sensors, I'm going to watch them land," I said and then reached up, taking off my helmet and passing it to Huginn, "Huginn, Muninn. Stealth mode, avoid and enter energy savings."
Both drones took off running towards the forest.
Dinah frowned at me in the darkness, "What are you doing?"
I started to remove my equipment harness, "Removing what will get me spotted. Now git and find a tree," I told her, "Stay safe."
Dinah looked like she wanted to argue, but there wasn't time. Instead she grabbed one of the Maquis, Seska I think, and they ran towards the edge of the forest.
The last buckle dropped and I stretched my wings before heading for the forest in turn with long strides.
I was barely half way when a flash drew my eye and I glanced up towards the stars. Weapons fire somewhere in orbit an-
For a second the landscape turned as bright as the day and I quickly looked away as something large detonated in orbit. That was a warpcore breach. I had seen those before.
I doubted they had taken out even the Val Jean that fast, so that had to have been one of the Kazon vessels. Well, if they're blowing up in orbit, they're not sending shuttles right now, nor have the attention to spare to fire at the planet.
Slowing down my stride, I focused out into the darkness and sniffed the air.
There were things in the darkness. Something was watching me from the edge of the forest.
I could see its eyes glint in the light of the stars and the battle above.
I growled softly, turning my attention in its direction and it disappeared into the underbrush.
That's right, look upon my magnificence and despair.
As I reached the edge of the forest, I glanced upwards again.
Lights seemed weaker.
The battle was moving away. Those fucking Kazon better not break my ship! I growled once more at that thought before I moved into the underbrush in a half circle until I found a good protected spot where it would be hard to sneak up on me while also giving me a view of the camp.
Making sure I wouldn't lay down on a nest of ants or something, I then settled down to wait.
As it was, I didn't need to wait that long. Soon contrails were forming above and circling around, soon resolving to the shape of four shuttles in the same kind of bronzeish red the Kazon coloured their ships in. Or rather, the colour their ships were in. It was base metal, you'd figure even primitives would have figured out paint, but apparently not. Well, not like it really mattered in space.
They circled above the abandoned camp before three of them started to go down to land while the last one started out over the forest, heading towards my right.
Kazon.
They exited their shuttles, weapons raised as they spread through the camp. One of them reached one of our shuttles before pressing one of the buttons by the ramp. It didn't lower.
We had kept them closed when not accessed to keep the vermin out.
Seems like it was working.
He then hit the panel with the butt of his weapon before wandering off towards one of the tents. As I watched, one of them yelled something and motioned above his head.
The leader?
He looked pretty much like the rest of them, no fancy hat or anything. But the rest seemed to listen to whatever he said as about half of them joined him and started towards the forest as the rest started to gather things from the camp to bring towards the shuttles.
The group heading towards the forest slowly spread out as they walked.
Slowly getting up, I eyed them.
The odds of actually finding anyone of the away team was tiny. But the longer we were in the forest, the more likely it was that somebody got themself eaten or forced to use their phaser and then spotted.
Taking a deep breath, I let out the loudest roar I could.
The Kazon froze in place.
Then they started to argue, weapons raising towards the forest to aim more or less in my direction. I just ducked and slowly moved away.
I just about kept them in sight as they finally continued towards the forest, this time in groups.
They want to play at hunting?
Very well, let's hunt.

Zephyr finally gets to reinact "Predator". Does the lead Kazon look like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
for that matter, some of the local wildlife may actually get involved.
