I have seen traps like this before, but most or all involved a massive release of radiation or some sort of explosion meeting the investigative team. I see no evidence of either. The question is what were they running from?" "Well, and I am just thinking from the top of my head now, but the traps were designed by people who didn't want to hurt the people going after them. So that makes me think its their own kind chasing them. The people who built the traps are trying to hide, and are trying to escape. They don't want to be murderers or hurt anyone. So what do you think we will do next?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) Mission Good Intentions Day 3 Stardate 2414 11.24 (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC Detron Trei - 19.45) He heard what Hayes said and drained his Long Island Iced Tea, asked for another then thought what his response will be. "I think we need to hear it from the survivors why they fled their planet but until they can tell us that we should thoroughly take a second look inside the ship." (Reply Hayes) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes - 1947) "I think we need to hear it from the survivors why they fled their planet but until they can tell us that we should thoroughly take a second look inside the ship," explained the Security Chief. "Well sir, as a science officer I don't really have a legitimate reason to just go down their and start looking around right now." Collin took a deep breath before he continued, and even took a quick drink. "But I feel that you do. If you don't mind sir, what is stopping you?" (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 19.50) Hayes said he didn't have a legitimate reason to look at the ship and asked why he didn't look himself. "Perhaps it is time to personally look at the alien ship but I will wait until they talk." (Reply Any) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes - 1952) "Perhaps it is time to personally look at the alien ship but I will wait until they talk," the Lieutenant had said. "Well, I am just going to finish my drink and then head to the gym afterwards. My metal analysis of the ship isn't expected to be finished until in the morning. So as long as I am not needed, I am taking the rest of the night off. What about you, what is your plan?" Collin explained as he periodically sipped his drink, and took in the atmosphere of Ten Forward. (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 19.55) He heard what Hayes said and took a pull from his second Long Island Iced Tea. He responded with similar intentions. "I will be calling it a night as well. We shall learn what the aliens know in the morning." (Reply none) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - Science Officer Ensign Collin Hayes - 1957) "I will be calling it a night as well. We shall learn what the aliens know in the morning," Trei announced. Collin took the last gulp of drink and sat it down on the bar. "Then I shall bid you a good night sir." (reply Trei) The Ensign gave a last nod to the Lieutenant and then walked away from the bar towards the exit doors. (reply Trei) (posted by Calvin Capps) (USS Gannicus - Ten Forward - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 20.00) Hayes left for the night. He drained his Long Island Iced Tea and did the same. He waved to the bartender as he left. (Reply None) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2030) "Commander," Commander Jacobs said, "Please put her down." The words were received and processed by Zzt all without conscious thought. His conscious mind still trying to deal with the problem before it. Zzt's subconscious had been trained after years in Star Fleet to recognize an order and to comply. The arm holding Lt. Vespers, twitched, flexed briefly and then uncurled sending Lt. Vesper half rolling half sliding down Zzt's arm and right into Commander Jacobs feet knocking both of them out from under him, sending him sprawling down on top of Lt. Vespers. "Who?" Zzt shouted in surprise at the sudden change, taking a step back from the squirming mass that was Commander Jacobs and Lt. Vespers. "Zzt sorry," Zzt said, unsure if he should try to help separate the two. He looked over at Nicolae and back again. (Reply Nicolae, Vespers, Jacobs, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle Bay - CMO Lt Mil Nicolae - 2031) "Commander, Please put her down." Jacobs ordered. Mil stood and looked between all four people stood around him. He half registered Jacobs order and flinched inside when it sunk in what had been said. He watched as slowly Vesper slid down Zzts arm and onto the Commander. Again struggling to hold back a grin Mil turned to Janey and smiled a little. "Who? Zzt sorry," The bear said taking a step back and looking at Mil. Deep inside Mil felt a twang of sympathy for him, somewhere deep inside, Mils eye flinched as he shifted back to his composed self. "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. "Nicolae to Nobel" (reply Noble) "Ensign cancel medical emergency, I can handle it here" Mil spoke walking across to the jumble of officers and helping them apart. Once Ash was stood up he scanned her, partly for show for Zzt, partly to check there wasn't anything really wrong. "Lt, you need to come to Sickbay once you return from your mission, these braces need tightened. Your legs won't recover if the muscles aren't being challenged" he said standing up and walking across to Commander Jacobs. "Doctor, any reason why we cant all get back to what we were doing?" Looking around he turned to face the commander. "Non at all sir, clearly an issue certain people could have avoided" He said glancing across to Lt Vesper. (Reply Jacobs) "I will take Vesper into Sickbay after her mission, I worry she may try to avoid taking the braces off. So if nothing else I have a few issues I need to attend to" "Everyone else, status report? Are we ready for this mission?" Jacobs bellowed out into the room "Ive got Lt Noble looking at our guests, I will be catching up with science shortly with our requirements for transferring them back to the planet." Mil answered back and looked at Vesper to continue her report. (reply Jacobs, Vesper, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail, LT Vesper, 2032) "Commander," Commander Jacobs said, "Please put her down." The words were received and processed by Zzt all without conscious thought. His conscious mind still trying to deal with the problem before it. Zzt's subconscious had been trained after years in Star Fleet to recognize an order and to comply. The arm holding Lt. Vespers, twitched, flexed briefly and then uncurled sending Lt. Vesper half rolling half sliding down Zzt's arm and right into Commander Jacobs feet knocking both of them out from under him, sending him sprawling down on top of Lt. Vespers. "Who?" Zzt shouted in surprise at the sudden change, taking a step back from the squirming mass that was Commander Jacobs and Lt. Vespers. "Zzt sorry," Zzt said, unsure if he should try to help separate the two. He looked over at Nicolae and back again. ~Sonuva~ Ash now felt she required a slight amount of medical attention, but knew fine well at this point she would receive little sympathy. The Commander had managed to end on top of her and in traditional style she quipped quietly, "Commander, I hope your not expecting another kiss." Eventually standing up she was able to ensure that her limbs were indeed attached and began removing a layer of soft fur that coated her uniform. She heard the brief sound of a medical tircorder over her "Lt, you need to come to Sickbay once you return from your mission, these braces need tightened. Your legs won't recover if the muscles aren't being challenged" he said standing up and walking across to Commander Jacobs. "Doctor, any reason why we cant all get back to what we were doing?" Looking around he turned to face the commander. "Non at all sir, clearly an issue certain people could have avoided" He said glancing across to Lt Vesper. (Reply Jacobs) "I will take Vesper into Sickbay after her mission, I worry she may try to avoid taking the braces off.

Jacobs bellowed out into the room "Ive got Lt Noble looking at our guests, I will be catching up with science shortly with our requirements for transferring them back to the planet." Mil answered back and looked at Vesper to continue her report. "We have everything we need is onboard I just need to get to the helm and we are set. All being if Zzt has everything he needs," she semi smiled looking up at the giant. (reply Zzt, any) "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. Janey was pulled to attention shocked by the request. "Erm, yes sir" She replied but Nicolae had already moved onto something else. Turning to Zzt she saw him back off slightly. Walking up to him she felt a strong sense of compassion towards the bear. He wasn't bad, he was just unfortunate in his understanding. Trying to shield him from any more issues Janey moved close to him. "Zzt ok?" She asked taking hold of one of his claws and looking up into his eyes. She slowly rubbed what she could touch of his hand. (reply Zzt) As the bear talked she looked up. (reply Zzt, any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Main Shuttle Bay -Ops CPO Janey Brown- 2033) Janey watched the horror story unfold, she had stood quietly allowig each of the dominant forces battle it out. Eventually Zzt dropped Ash onto the ground. She watched as Lt Nicolae smiled at her, she was unsure why he did it. His normal personality didnt break and always seemed to be rigid and strict around lower ranks and when on duty. "Cheif Brown could you please look after Commander Zzt, I believe he may just an explanation of what's just happened." He said looking across at Janey again. Janey was pulled to attention shocked by the request. "Erm, yes sir" She replied but Nicolae had already moved onto something else. Turning to Zzt she saw him back off slightly. Walking up to him she felt a strong sense of compassion towards the bear. He wasn't bad, he was just unfortunate in his understanding. Trying to shield him from any more issues Janey moved close to him. "Zzt ok?" She asked taking hold of one of his claws and looking up into his eyes. She slowly rubbed what she could touch of his hand. (reply Zzt) As the bear talked she looked up. (reply Zzt, any) (posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay,Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2034) Zzt's head was moving quickly back and forth, looking at the people before him, while he tried to figure out what was happening. "Zzt ok?" he heard Chief Brown say as she grabbed one of his claws and slowly rubbed his paw. Zzt looked down at her and then back at the others. "Zzt confused," he said, "Zzt thought Veepers hurt, need help. Now everyone mad at Zzt. Zzt just try help. Zzt still need finish final diagnostic on unit before shuttle lunch. Make sure power consumption within proper parameters or explode taking shuttle with it." Suddenly remembering what he'd been doing before Lt. Vespers and Chief Brown had arrived, Zzt turned and walked back up the access ramp of the shuttle, grabbing a tool from his belt. He went back to the open panel in the floor and got back to work. (Reply Vespers, Brown, Nicolae, Jacobs, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Sickbay - ACMO Ensign JG Tian Noble - 2037) =/\=Nicolae to Nobel=/\= “Sir” =/\= Ensign cancel medical emergency, I can handle it here=/\= “very well sir” Tian said and tapped his combadge “right that’s not needed now” He felt more irritated than any of the nurses could have he was busy and a fake medical emergency wasn't in his plans. Tian sit in a chair looking out at the room with their visitors. What kind of drug could I give them that might get a reaction. ~Adrenalin ugh there not human I’m not sure that would work~ Tian arms were crossed he rubbed his chin with his index finger ~Coradrenalin ummmm no that’s for frostbite. ~ ~Cordrazine that might work or it might not~ Tian was getting really irritated; he didn’t know where to start he didn’t understand enough about this species to make a confident medical decision. He needed to know more. Tian picked up the PADD with all the test results he had for the four patients he didn’t even know what he was looking at things seemed so different then what he had studied in medical school and at Starfleet medical. The cells acted in a different way than any species he knew of. Tian looked at the blood cell count of each of the aliens. Tian took a deep breath getting up he looked at a nurse “get me 2cc of sterilite we’re going to try something.” He knew that 2cc might not do to much but if he could just get a small response in the adult female showing there was an infection of some type maybe he could get a better idea of where to go. Tian looked at the nurse as they stood on either side of the woman; “okay once I inject the sterilite we will have to watch her vitals very closely looking for the slightest change.” Tian gave the woman the sterilite he could feel his heat rate jump as soon as the woman’s did “heart rate up to 189 BPM the nurse called out Doctor that’s not normal.” Tian looked at her for a moment then replied “we do not know what is and is not normal here.” Tian hadn't realized that he had stopped breathing until her heart rate feel to what he would assume to be normal rates for the species since it was a few beats higher than the males who were responses. “Watch her for the next few hours let me know if there any other changes.” Tian said as he left sickbay standing in the hallway he felt sick. ~what the hell was I thinking I could have killed that woman~. Tian sit on the floor outside of the sickbay doors his head rested on his knees. (reply none) (posted by Richard) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay, Shuttle Flail, CEO LT Vesper, 2038) Suddenly remembering what he'd been doing before Lt. Vespers and Chief Brown had arrived, Zzt turned and walked back up the access ramp of the shuttle, grabbing a tool from his belt. He went back to the open panel in the floor and got back to work. “Ill take that as a were ready to go,” Ash nodded finally moving into the shuttles pilots seat ~At last!!!~ “Starting power up sequence.” She tapped the controls bring the shuttle quietly to life. The vibrations moving through her. “Engines, shields, weapons, sensors, the board is green.” (Reply Zzt, Brown, Nicolae, Jacobs, Any) Looking back anyone not coming along on the trip was now safely off the shuttle, “Cutting the cords. Mag locks off,” Tapping the coom she opened a line to the bridge, “Shuttle three ready for departure. ” (Bridge OIC) ”Affirmative” she said closing the channel and putting her seat straps on over her, “Here we go people!” Push the shuttle gently out the bay doors she easily flipped it over on its back and pulled back taking her in the same direction as the Gannicus while able to keep visual reference on the ship. “You ready to drop that beacon?” (reply Janey) She looked back at Zzt, “You do what you have to,” smiling at he giant bear. (reply Zzt) “Warp speed in… three… two… one…” The shuttle blipped off into the distance quickly arriving at the first drop point. Ash kept her eyes on sensors looking out for any signs of aggression towards them. (reply Janey, Zzt) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2040) Zzt had felt Lt. Vespers and Chief Brown move past him and to the front of the shuttle but he remained focused on his work, and the diagnostics running on the nearby console. As Vespers and Brown continued to prep the shuttle for launch, Zzt finished his work and replaced the floor panel and turned his full attention to the diagnostic that was almost complete on the engineering console in front of him. ~Fully operational, as I knew it would be.~ He thought with a confident nod. “Engines, shields, weapons, sensors, the board is green," Lt. Vesper said. "Cloak on line," Zzt said, as one of his paws tapped in the command shunting power to the device he'd installed. The lights inside the shuttle dimmed for a moment before returning to normal levels, it was the only internal indicator that the cloak had engaged. Anyone outside the shuttle would have seen it's image shimmer, before disappearing from sight. Zzt watched his screen for a few seconds to ensure the shuttles power consumption curve remained stable. (Reply Vespers, Brown, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus, Outside Sickbay, Lt Tristan Dodge, 2042) Tristan was rushing along the corridor, it wasn't often he left things behind that he needed but with the visitors being in board his mind was scattered. Turning the corner he spotted a pair of shoes on the floor. Slowing down the rest of the body appeared stopping dead in the corridor Tristan stood over him, it became clear it was Ensign Noble. "Ensign, are you OK?" (Reply Noble) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Outside Sickbay, ACMO Ensign Jg Tian Noble, 2043) “Ensign, are you OK?" Tian looked up his ~crap~ he opened his mouth to say something but his voice failed him. Taking a deep breath and centering himself he tried again “Ii’m ffine” he lied and it was way too obvious. “its just been a long day” his voice was still a bit shaky. He had a feeling his cover was blown Tian was a very confident man. In an attempt to change the subject he stood his knees felt weak but he managed to remain composed. “are you okay is there something I can help you with tonight?” (Reply Dodge) (Posted by Richard) (USS Gannicus, Outside Sickbay, Med, Lt Tristan Dodge, 2044) Taking a deep breath and centering himself he tried again “Ii’m ffine its just been a long day” Noble answered standing up slowly. Tristan looked at the Ensign, he had been around a fair bit and knew when he was being lied to. “are you okay is there something I can help you with tonight?” Noble asked Looking him up and down Tristan decided if he wasn't to be told what was wrong he didn't know the man enough to push. "I've left a few reports I needed in the office, a free evening and later duty shift means I can sort it. Unless there is some issue you need help with?" (Reply Noble) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Main Shuttle Bay, Shuttle Flail, Ops CPO Janey Brown, 2045) Janey watched as Zzt had left her and marched into the shuttle to continue his work. Ash soon followed and Janey took her cue from all the movement. Looking around she still was unsure what Zzt was actually adding to the shuttle but either way was gappy for the support. (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, Ops CPO Janey Brown, 2045) Entering the shuttle Janey glanced a look at Zzt and continued walking to her seat. The type 12 Shuttle was spacious and Janey was always happy with the rolling forward view. Sitting next to Ash she pulled up the co-pilot controls and checked the subsystems ready for the preflight checks. “Ill take that as a were ready to go,” Ash asked. Janey turned around to see Zzt having sealed the panel and now turned back to his work screen. "Ready for preflight checks" Janey said turning back to her screens. "Starting power up sequence. Engines, shields, weapons, sensors, the board is green.” Ash called across. "Cloak online" Zzt called across. Janey sat there stunned a little. She flipped up the power matrix ~how did I miss that!~ she turned at Ash "Power matrix online, we have green for comms, brining the core online, a little sluggish with the alterations but nothing she won't cope with. Shuttle airtight and ready for departure. It would also appear we are cloaked" Janey called out transcribing the data and making reference to the dimming lights. “Cutting the cords. Mag locks off,” Tapping the coom she opened a line to the bridge, “Shuttle three ready for departure. ” Janey felt the shuttle fly out of the ship. “You ready to drop that beacon?” Ash asked. "You just get us there" Janey laughed back. “Warp speed in… three… two… one…” Ash called as Janey flipped into the probe control screens. She selected the modified probe they had loaded into the ship. It would act as the modified communication array for the Gannicus. As the shuttle dropped back out of warp it arrived st the planet. "Open a channel with the Gannicus to check the link up" Janey called across (Reply Vesper, Zzt, any) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Outside Sickbay, ACMO Ensign JG Tian Noble, 2047) Tian knew Tristan seen through the lie, but it seemed like he wasn't going to push the issue. He was grateful for that. "I've left a few reports I needed in the office, a free evening and later duty shift means I can sort it. Unless there is some issue you need help with?" Tian felt his body tighten he was still getting use to the new ship and its crew, but maybe it was time to start opening up a little. Tian looked at Tristan for a few moments “I did something and I’m not sure it was a good idea or how many rules I've broken.” (reply Dodge) “Well the female alien seemed to be getting worse by the minute and since all the drugs we have tried didn't work; I decided to give her sterilite a drug we use during surgery to help fight infections. In most species we don’t see any type of physical reaction…” Tian was rambling like a med student trying to impress the attending to get in to the resident program. Noticing this he stopped for a few moments. “her heart rate elevated for a few minutes then it lowered.” Tian looked at Tristan, but he couldn’t really read his face. Tian really wished he could take everything he just said back. At the same time the woman is alive and was stable at least for now. (Reply Dodge) (Posted by Richard) (USS Gannicus, Outside Sickbay, Med, Lt Tristan Dodge, 2049) Walking into Sickbay Tristan stopped, sensing he wasn't being followed, turning he saw a rigid Tian “I did something and I’m not sure it was a good idea or how many rules I've broken.” Walking back into the corridor he approached the Ensign. Cautious to remain open Tristan sided with the young doctor. "Go on" he said. “Well the female alien seemed to be getting worse by the minute and since all the drugs we have tried didn't work; I decided to give her sterilite a drug we use during surgery to help fight infections. In most species we don’t see any type of physical reaction…her heart rate elevated for a few minutes then it lowered.” There was a pause in what he was saying. Tristan looked at the man and nodded. "OK, show me the stats" Tristan was unsure what to say. He had been out in the field and made numerous mistakes but always took the stance that some form of treatment is better than nothing. He walked into sickbay and allowed Tian to lead. He purposely let him so to see where he went, either to the woman or to the office. Hoping it was the office, mainly to allow the young medic time to recoup from what was a clearly traumatic experience. (Reply Nobel) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, CEO LT Vesper, 2050) As the shuttle dropped back out of warp it arrived st the planet. "Open a channel with the Gannicus to check the link up" Janey called across Ash tapped the controls opening an encoded channel to the Gannicus, "Shuttle to Gannicus, requesting systems check" (reply Gannicus Science?) "Affirm, you get that chief?" said Ash turning the shuttle round slowly using the thrusters. Holding position at the drop point she angled the ship back on course for an expedient arc back to pick up the component they were after and then back to home. She reached down and scratched her leg still requiring an electronic support on it she pouted at it disapprovingly. (reply Janey) Looking back she noticed Zzt working on the cloaking device. ~well this is a novelty~ "Zzt there will be a slight power drain when we activate the transporters. You ready for it?" (reply Zzt) "Eh.. right?" ~I think~ confused she looked back to her controls monitoring passively for anything out of the ordinary, "You show at the mo Chief, energize when ready." (Reply Vesper, Zzt, any) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay, ACMO, Ensign JG Tian Noble, 2052) "OK, show me the stats" Tristan was unsure what to say. He had been out in the field and made numerous mistakes but always took the stance that some form of treatment is better than nothing. He walked into sickbay and allowed Tian to lead. He purposely let him so to see where he went, either to the woman or to the office. Hoping it was the office, mainly to allow the young medic time to recoup from what was a clearly traumatic experience. Tian moved at a bit slower pace than normal unsure if it was to buy himself more time or just because he couldn’t make his body move any faster. Deciding that he should probably use the terminal in the office to show both the before and after stats Tian headed towards the office. Stepping into the office Tian touched the thermal pulling up the woman states for the past few hours. Turning it towards Tristan. (reply Dodge) (posted by Richard) (Shuttle Flail, Cockpit, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2055) As the chatter between Ash and the ship continued Janey zoned out and looked at the scans. She was trying to do several things at once, resulting in mild frustration. Accessing the scanners she boosted power to the short range sensors. She was pulled back by Ash "Affirm, you get that chief?" "Mostly, Gannicus will report back with the correct frequency, hold on" Janey called. To make this all work correctly she needed the right frequency for the planet. "Sensors are showing 100 fixed receivers, its going to take a while for me to get the right one" She said looking across at Ash "Your show at the mo Chief, energize when ready." "Computer analysis of out coming communication chatter from the planet surface" The computer started searching, this at least took some of the work away from Janey. She stood up and moved to the cargo area of the ship to where the probe was being held.

He looked at the base line that the team had assumed was right, at what they thought was an unconscious humanoid woman. He let out a sigh. "Listen, how much of this data do we know to be fact?" He asked the young man. (Reply Noble) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Sickbay, ACMO, Ensign JG Tian Noble, 2058) "Listen, how much of this data do we know to be fact?" He asked the young man. Tian was a bit confused by the question. Tian sit on the other side of the deck he looked at Dodge for a few minutes before answering. “We know nothing at all we can’t tell you anything about this species; except maybe a few of the basics that we get from tests.” The words filled Tian head and he realized that he was probably over reacting all together. They knew nothing, so anything he did was a shot in the dark and it would be betting then letting them die. “Thank you for listening to me panic.” (Reply Dodge) (posted by Richard) (Shuttle Flail, Cargo Holding area, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2101) Opening the hatch she scanned inside and did a final check. "Probe is stable" She called out to anyone present. Walking to the console at the wall she activated it. "Gannicus set a channel to 89.1mhrzt" =/\=affirmative Chief comms set=/\= came the reply. As Janey closed the hatch she walked back into the cockpit and took her seat. The computer had thrown up four points for contact. (USS Gannicus, Security offices, CMO LT Mil Nicolae, 2102) Mil had left the shuttle bay and walked briskly to the Security department. He had hoped to see Lt Trei. He had stopped and spoken to the members of his old teams and eventually he clocked the time As the Lt wasnt present Mil looked around what would have been his office quickly and tapped his comm badge. "Nicolae to Lt Trei" He stood and awaited the reply.

"Exactly Ensign, we know nothing. We had five casualties from an unknown race arrive at in our sickbay, two died because we didnt know how to save them. Do you think Dr Nicolae doesn't feel upset at that? But because we are pioneers in medicine you adapted and tried something. You took a calculated risk. You've got a long time to go in life, risks are good!" Tristan finished and sat back “Thank you for listening to me panic.” came the slow reply. "Any time, trust me, we've all been there" Tristan smiled. (Reply Noble) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Quarters - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.05) He just entered his quarters to wind down for the night then he heard Nicolae on his COMM requesting him in Security. He tapped his COMM and responded. "I am in my quarters Dr. I will be with you in a minute." He left his quarters for a conversation with Dr. Nicolae (USS Gannicus - COS Office, CMO Lt Mil Nicolae - 21.06) =/\=I am in my quarters Dr. I will be with you in a minute.=/\= "Understood" Mil tapped his badge to close the channel and leaned against the wall waiting. He felt a little nervous about the conversation given the reactions he had been given in the past. Realising he needed a some data Mil stood and walked over to the nearby console. He accessed the files and transfered them across to the security offices console. By then Trei was next to him. Being ushered into the office Mil sat in the chair in front of the desk and made himself comfortable. Once settled the Klingon spoke. "Hello Dr. I assume this is about the differences between us and the tension at the meeting. Where do you wish to start?" ~what!~ Mil tried to hide his shock and partial anger at the man, shifting in his seat he looked at the man. "Actually Lt, this is about the safe transport of my patients. But clearly you feel something else needs to be discussed." Mil shifted again.

He motioned Nicolae to go in and have a seat in his office. He sat behind the desk and faced him. "Hello Dr. I assume this is about the differences between us and the tension at the meeting.

(Reply Nicolae) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.11) He heard what Dr. Nicolae's intentions were and sensed some anger at his initial response. Anger was the least of Nicolae's concern if he continued to reject his suggestions. "I assure you Dr. that the patients will be transported with tight security. I do however wish to talk with you about rejecting my suggestions in such a public manner as was at the meeting. My intentions were purely genuine in helping the cause. If you continue to reject me in that manner, We will have to go on in a professional manner. I have done this a few times in the past. It is not how I wish to conduct a working relationship.

Detron finished. Mil sat stunned. He fought hard not to allow his face to show. His emotions changed to annoyance. Finding it hard to get the words he needed Mil stood and walked around the room "I understand that you are a Klingon Lieutenant, but this is a Starfleet ship and debate is always encouraged. This is not about honour or challenges. It is about getting the best ideas for the mission."

Mil took the moment to his advantage. "Tell me Lt, how do you deal with confrontation?" (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (Shuttle Flail, Cockpit, Ops, CEO LT Vesper, 2117) Ash tapped her seat impatiently, sitting in the one place made her feel uncomfortable. She fought her instincts, resisting the urge to keep on the move. Her eyes wandered over the controls ~No change... again~ Hearing the door she looked back as Janey entered. "That's annoying, four Channels broadcasting into space" Janey turned again to Ash. "Overlaying the data from the pod and the warp ship." Janey looked even more confused. "OK Ash, why would a race that had just started its space journey need to have two radio systems 8000miles from each other broadcasting into space.?" She asked with a little concern in her voice. Spinning her seat round Ash stretched her mind for some rational explanations, "Maybe some probes? Recon drones... It is a common prerequisite for warp travel. Maybe an artificia... " she paused. Janey was not a rookie she would have checked that. She shrugged her shoulders, "Try some passive scans. Any active scans may give away our position." "Scanning the compounds. One is showing a very basic output, the other seems more military, I'm picking up radioactive compounds there," Janey looked up again. "Boosting power to the sensors again" she said putting up the results on both the view screens. Again Ash tried to offer some less sinister explanations, "Could be nuclear powered, or a disposal site like that old show: Space 1999" Turning back she monitored the power levels closely she did not want that cloak to go down and diverted some power from the engines to compensate. NRPG: kudos to all who remember space 1999 :D "Analysing the comms traffic" there was silence for a moment. Janey looked hard at the data and then looked up to Ash. "Factions, there was talk about factions. Scans are showing more advanced technologies at the military base than the other, still far less than ours but it looks like one set had warp capacity or at least the ability for short range space travel" Janey again looked up.

"Well, that was interesting. We will need to download it all back on the ship. That one is a keeper!" "That has to be the right channel, the power signs are similar to the warp ship. Locking in frequency to new array. Ready to go" Janey said as the computer beeped. "FANTASTIC!" shouted Ash relieved to move the shuttle once more. Taking the shuttle to a low cruise she gently increased speed letting Zzt counter any power fluctuations. She put it in a slow left roll, a common practice that allowed her to keep a visual eye on most of her surroundings. "I don't like these readings though. What if this was an attack from the other base?" Janey asked having flipped back to the scans. Sighing Ash looked back, "If it was an attack we may be walking into a nuclear war zone. Ill stick to being the optimist and say that it was some nuclear drones, tests or storage until we get more data." Turning back she id think that the possibility was remote. From her experience when people use the word 'faction' it tended to signify a hatred or distrust between peoples. She prayed she was wrong. (reply Janey) "Stand by for warp," said Ash, "In three... two... one..." Once more the shuttle jumped into warp beginning its arc back to the Gannicus with a small pit stop in the middle. "Relax Chief. Im sure this will all work out fine." It was a short jump and the shuttle dropped to impulse, "Ok, chief were is that part we are after? The radiation and size will mask it from my nav controls. You'll need to direct me in."

It clearly felt like Nicolae was trying to get him to have a rage reaction. The thought of this tactic made him laugh a little.

"Frequency's locked in, ready to launch comm array." Again Janey looked up and saw Ash nod. She pressed a few controls and the probe was beamed into space. (Reply any on board) "Checking power matrix and transducer" all the systems checking out Janey hit the comm again. "Gannicus you are cleared for communication with the array. There will be some delay but not much. Please ensure you stick to this channel only. I'm picking up common traffic for three other points in the planet" =/\=understood chief=/\= came the reply. Janey closed the channel and turned to Ash. "I've locked the array to only allow traffic from the Gannicus and the fixed point on the planet. If anyone trys to break in it will self distruct" after looking down again she turned back. "Ready to leave" Janey finished. As the ship jumped to warp Janey looked at the data from the compound again. "Relax Chief. Im sure this will all work out fine." Janey simply nodded in reply. The shuttle dropped out of warp and settled again. "Ok, chief were is that part we are after? The radiation and size will mask it from my nav controls. You'll need to direct me in." Ash now took control and Janey switched to the sensor views. "Scanning" moments past and the sensors returned no data. (Reply Vesper iyw) "Enhancing long range sensors" moments past again.

How do you deal with something out of your control?" Detron also allowed himself a little laugh. Mil sat a second again, the laugh made him think deeper, the question posed back was also interesting. "How about when someone under your command challenges you?" Mil asked again standing up. The conversation was getting far more interesting than originally anticipated since it was going to be about patient transport, a fact they were still to cover but he allowed Trei to lead. (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (Shuttle Flail, Cockpit, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2123) The shuttle dropped out of warp and settled again. "Ok, chief were is that part we are after?

"Scanning" moments past and the sensors returned no data. Ash hopelessly looked at her instruments gently floating the shuttle around with thrusters. The last thing she wanted was to run into the piece they were after. "Chief?" "Enhancing long range sensors" moments past again. "There is nothing here Ash, move to next check point" Looking down Ash powered up the engines again to the next nav point, "I was sure that this would be the point. Oh well we have a few more points to check out." Again she gently increased the ships speed and gave the warp countdown, "Warp in three... two... one." A few moments pass as the ship drops back out warp arriving at the new coordinates. The ship is rattled with the sounds of metal scraping off of it, "Frak!" shouts Ash tugging the controls pushing the shuttle up and down turning into the fragments. Gently she smooths it out and twists round giving pursuit of the pieces. "I think we found them chief. Which one?" ~Wait we are cloaked...~ "Zzt hows that cloak from the impacts?" Ash asks with a slight worry in her voice. (Reply Janey, Zzt) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.25) Nicolae stood while the conversation continued. It was becoming increasingly irritating to him. He asked what he does when confronted by someone under his command. It only happened 2 or 3 times and it always involved an intelligent question of his authority never a physical encounter. He responded to these challenges in a professional manner with no need to be physical. "As you might imagine, I never had a physical challenge to my authority. It was always an intelligent question of authority. Now shall we get to the question of transferring your patients." (Reply Nicolae) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 2126) "Zzt how's that cloak from the impacts?" Lt. Vespers asked. Zzt growled to himself, working his console feverishly as the cloaking energy field fluctuated being destabilized by the debris bouncing off the hull. "Cloaking field destabilizing. Energy grid over loading," Zzt replied, in a clipped fashion. Neither the shuttle nor the cloaking device had been designed for one another. The cloaking device itself was not even a true cloak, but a facsimile put together by Zzt from parts replicated or found on board the Gannicus. The debris had caused a power surge in the shuttles navigational deflectors and the jury-rigged cloak. That surge was now feeding back through the rest of the shuttles power systems and Zzt was hard at work to keep the power relays from over loading. "Polarizing the hull," Chief Brown called. ~Great,~ Zzt thought. ~Lets add an electromagnetic field the mix now.~ "Got it!" Chief Brown exclaimed a moment later just as the first power relay blew sending a shower of sparks down on top their heads and filling the shuttle with a thick acrid smelling smoke. A second and then a third relay blew seconds later showering them in more sparks and smoke. (Reply Vespers, Brown, Any) (Posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CMO LT(SG) Mil Nicolae- 21.27) Mil watched as Detron was getting irritated by what was happening. He could see the answers going around in Detrons head. Clearly this was a conversation rarely had with the Klingon. Mil made a mental note to tread carefully so not to evoke too strong a reaction from the man, that was neither his intention or purpose. Mil just wanted to know why Trei was so threatened by him. "As you might imagine, I never had a physical challenge to my authority. It was always an intelligent question of authority. Now shall we get to the question of transferring your patients." The Klingon finally answered. Mil now stood looking out into the room full of his ex subordinates. He let the words move around his head and thought long before his answer. Without turning Mil slowly spoke. "Odd that you would talk about a physical challenge after having instigated this conversation" Mil turned to face the man, he leant back slightly on the wall of the office. "This was supposed to be about you not liking my changes or challenges to your ideas, not about anything physical." Mil pulled on the basic councillor training he had received before taking over as CMO. "Two things worry me LT. One, that you're saying my questioning your ideas isnt intelligent, you just said that yourself. And two, that twice in this short conversation you've brought up being physical, are you threatened by me LT?" Mil finally asked after having surmised the conversation as he saw it. (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2128) As Janey tuned back into the room after having ran the conversation through her head. Before she could really react the room filled with smoke. "Running damage checks" She shouted out over the continued alarms. (Reply any) "Main power down to 70%.

"The computer cant handle the power mix" She swung to Ash "We need to shut it down to even give the computer a chance." (Reply Vesper) "Ash!

Before she could really react the room filled with smoke. "Running damage checks" She shouted out over the continued alarms. ~Frak, smoke.. thats not a good sign~ "What is the status of the cloaking?" shouted Ash back to Zzt. Ash quickly searched her shuttle database in her head for anything useful, "Chief, can you modulate the power matrix ratio to a freqency of nine point two three?" From memory she knew that this frequecy would be less susepetable to the polorisation of the hull, but since they had a cloaking device attached she could not be certain. (reply Zzt) "Main power down to 70%. Having that cloak has completely thrown the power matrix." Janey called out as a forth relay blew out. "The computer cant handle the power mix" She swung to Ash "We need to shut it down to even give the computer a chance." "Blast!" she cursed into the control watching the warning lights flare up on her panel follow by the ever so helpful beeping of the main computers master alarm. "Ash! Its your mission" Janey called as there was another explosion leaving the cockpit in temporary darkness. "Damn" She finished as her console fickered. Having no choice but to make a decision she pitched the shuttle into the debris field hitting the thrusters to maintain a nominal velocity with the fragments, "Powering down all systems!" Slamming her fist down on the controls to her left the shuttle went dark and the orange-red emergency lighting sprug on. The shuttle had very basic manual controls left and slowly she stabilised its attitude putting the top of the shuttle facing the majority of the debris. She didn't want to risk strikes to the warp engines if she could help it. Moving out of her seat she looked at both her crewmates. "Zzt, Chief, work on the intermix ratios of the cloak," she lifted the fire supression unit from beside her spraying a damaged relay that was starting to burn, "We should hopefully show up as debris if they are tracking anything. Priorities are the cloak, transporters and warp capability." Moving backward she picked up a repiar kit as the scraping of metal echoed through the ship. "Im going aft to check out the power control system and check for any fire." (Reply Janey, Zzt) (Posted by Adam) (Shuttle Flail, Cockpit, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2130) As the ship dropped out if warp the perimeter alarms sounded. The noise of metal and fragments hitting the outside resonated through the cockpit "Frak!" Ash shouted about the noise. Janey flew forward and started pounding the console. "Polarising the hull" she called forgetting that they were cloaked. She watched as the sensor showed the fragments push away. "I think we found them chief. Which one?" Ash asked as she glided the ship to clear the small debris field. "Give me a chance" She called. Janey had her head down in the console as Ash and Zzt had their conversation, half listening half not. She pulled the data from the warp ship and tried to analyse what she could. A warp core would normally be easy to find, but this wasn't. Setting the computer to continual scans she flipped across to the data from the probe they had dropped off. A small bleep from the computer made her focus back to the task at hand. "Got it!" Janey exclaimed interrupting any conversation going on. (Reply Vesper, Zzt) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.31) After giving him an analysis that he felt threatened by challenges, Nicolae asked if he was a threat to him.

Blinking away the stare Mil walked back to desk. "You do realise that's the second time you've threatened me?" Mil simply asked and sat again. (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2133) Ash seemed to have an internal struggle and eventually answered "Powering down all systems!" "Zzt, Chief, work on the intermix ratios of the cloak," she lifted the fire supression unit from beside her spraying a damaged relay that was starting to burn, "We should hopefully show up as debris if they are tracking anything. Priorities are the cloak, transporters and warp capability. Im going aft to check out the power control system and check for any fire." Ash slowly moved around the shuttle and into the back. Janey looked as the glow sillouted Ash. Turning to Zzt she smiled and stood. "I'm sorry" She simply said and walked carefully over to the rear. Opening a locker she pulled out two plasma lamps and three torches. Walking to where Ash was stood she placed a lamp and handed a torch across. Without saying anything she walked back to Zzt and placed a lamp on the ground. Turning it on there was a little more light to work in. She handed the torch to Zzt then turned her own on. Knowing nothing about cloaks Janey thought it best to leave Zzt alone. She went aft with Ash. "The consoles back here seem to be working better. I should be able to get an idea on what I need to do easier" Janey was making small talk more than anything. Feeling stupid for having polarised the hull and blowing the power. (Reply Vesper) Janey sat across the room and worked at a small unit. She accessed the ships power matrix and tried to make sense of it all. Glad that everything had stopped blowing out. (Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 21:34) As the shuttle's power grid eventually failed in a shower of sparks and a cloud of toxic smoke, Zzt growled in frustration. ~I told the Captain this could happen. Can't just slam a new piece of equipment in and expect everything to keep working if things get rough.~ "What is the status of the cloaking?" Lt Vesper shouted back at Zzt. "Zzt need take off line before blow entire power grid," Zzt replied with a growl, but not taking his eyes from his console. He was still too busy assessing the damage, not only to the cloak, but also to the various systems it was tied into. "Main power down to 70%. Having that cloak has completely thrown the power matrix," Chief Brown called out as another relay blew sending more sparks showering down on them. "Powering down all systems!"Vesper yelled as she piloted them back into the debris field. Zzt had to hold onto his console as he felt himself start to slide across the floor. ~Oh! That's not good! Internal gravity out of calibration now.~ He thought making sure he should squash either of his crew mates. "Zzt, Chief, work on the intermix ratios of the cloak,"Vespers said lifting a fire suppression unit and spraying a burning relay, "We should hopefully show up as debris if they are tracking anything. Priorities are the cloak, transporters and warp capability." "I'm going aft to check out the power control system and check for any fire," she finished, picking up a repair kit. Zzt grunted and started removing wall and floor panels to get to the cloaking device and the subsystems it was connected to. He grabbed a fire suppression unit that was nearby set it down on the floor near where he would be working. A moment later, Chief Brown apologized for something Zzt wasn't exactly sure what before handing him a plasma torch before turning and heading aft with Lt. Vespers. ~For the best.~ Zzt thought, watching her go, ~I barely have enough room to work by myself in this cramped space.~ Zzt snapped open his tri-corder with one paw, and his magnetic-decoupler with the other before sticking his head in the wall and getting to work removing overloaded relays. (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.35) Nicolae stated with a level of anger that he made a threat a second time then sat back down. This irritated him a little. "The threat you perceive does not exist. Shall we continue with the business at hand." ~If you keep going like this, the threat will be real.~ (USS Gannicus, Shuttle Flail, CEO LT Vesper, 2136) "The consoles back here seem to be working better. I should be able to get an idea on what I need to do easier" Janey was making small talk more than anything. Feeling stupid for having polarised the hull and blowing the power. Ash opened a panel and blasted the coolant into it putting out a small fire. Taking another sniff she popped a few more panels and sprayed them. Moving over to Janey she put her hand on her shoulder and nodded. No words were said the touch was all that was needed. Janey sat across the room and worked at a small unit. She accessed the ships power matrix and tried to make sense of it all. Glad that everything had stopped blowing out. (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CMO Lt Mil Nicolae - 21.37) "The threat you perceive does not exist. Shall we continue with the business at hand." Detron seemed irritated by Mil questioning his motives and clearly aggressive behaviour both inside and outside the room. Mil leant back in his seat and wondered how the conversation would have went had it been in his office. Detrons continued angst towards Mil concreted his actions. "May I?" Mil pointed at the PADD on the table. Without really waiting for a reply Mil picked it up and typed. Accessing the LCARS system and the medical records Mil made a few notes. He looked at the diary for the medical team and made a few further notes and an appointment. Looking up without saying anything he secured the PADD and placed it down. "OK, how can we ensure the patients are transferred safely?" Mil asked, again putting the ball in the Klingons court. (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.40) He saw Nicolae make notes on his PADD before asking how the security detail will work. He didn't need any time to respond. "I have 4 teams of 6 officers working steady shifts until the alien situation is resolved. I addition to that a team of 8 officers will secure the transport. An extra few can be pulled from the running shift if the situation becomes hostile. Is that suitable enough for you?" (Reply Nicolae) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.45) He saw Nicolae jump back from the projected transport team. In his experience it was always better to be prepared for anything and the extra officers are there to handle that. He reduced his projection. "Two are ready for your use. The transport team can be reduced to 2 Security officers and 2 Med-Sec officers along with the Medical personnel. I always found it better to be prepared for anything. The extra officers are there to handle that. Very well you will have the space you need." ~You are a fool. Never underestimate a situation.~ (Reply Nicolae) (Posted by Edward) (Shuttle Flail, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2150) What felt like hours in lowlight had passed and Janey had moved under the forward consoles. She had panels out and was trying several different layouts trying to bypass the burntout conduits. "I think I can get the main power back at a greatly reduced rate. I can at least get sensors and comms back to power and keep the helm console online. I've had to pull the axillary power and the backups to keep it from blowing again. I can probably give the rest of the secondary power matrix to the cloak letting that run with 40% power and the other systems at 30%. Unless anyone has a better idea?" Janey called out staying under the console. (Reply Vesper, Zzt) (Posted by Mat) (Shuttle Flail, ATT Lt. Cmndr Zzt, 21:51) "I think I can get the main power back at a greatly reduced rate.

I can probably give the rest of the secondary power matrix to the cloak letting that run with 40% power and the other systems at 30%. Unless anyone has a better idea?" Chief Brown called out some time later drawing Zzt attention from his own work. "How much longer we need cloak?" He asked, not sure what else they still needed to do out here. (Reply Vesper, Brown, Any) (posted by Wes) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CMO Lt Mil Nicolae- 21.52) "I can agree with that assessment but I will add one more security officer to be safe. Is that good for you?" Detron finished. Mil flicked his foot under the desk again to release some frustration without showing any on his face. "I would say for a landing party that six security officers is probably more than enough. So would disagree with the need to add one more. However, it all sits with the commander. I will make my request for three sec-med and two nurses, with a further three security officers" Mil went to stand "Unless there is anything else you wish to talk about?" With the night pressing on, a quick round needed in sickbay and a possible early start Mil hinted he needed to leave. He also wanted to make headway to prevent a tense situation again, the room had certainly calmed down.

Janey called out staying under the console. "How much longer we need cloak?" He asked, not sure what else they still needed to do out here. “We just need it for five minutes to get back to the ship,” Ash sighed a little, “Ok, here is the plan. One, sensors go online. Two we locate and beam the part on board, Three transporters go offline and power goes to the helm and navigation. Four when we are wrap capable, activate the cloak. Five ill turn us round and we get back to the ship ASAP. The less demands we make of the power grid the better. Think she can take it Chief?” (Reply Janey, Zzt) (Posted by Adam) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 21.55) He noticed that Nicolae was making a move toward the door while confirming his proposed team. He nodded as to understand the team proposed but still would rather be safe than sorry. "Very well then. A team of 3 Med-Sec officers, 3 Security officers, and 2 Nurses is acceptable. Call for help immediately if there is trouble." ~You stupid fool.~ (Reply None) (Posted by Edward) (Shuttle Flail, Ops, CPO Janey Brown, 2156) "How much longer we need cloak?" Zzt asked into the room Janey felt it was probably time to pop out from under the console. Pushing her way past all the parts and tools she sat up in time to hear the rest of the conversation. “We just need it for five minutes to get back to the ship, Ok, here is the plan. One, sensors go online. Two we locate and beam the part on board, Three transporters go offline and power goes to the helm and navigation. Four when we are wrap capable, activate the cloak. Five ill turn us round and we get back to the ship ASAP. The less demands we make of the power grid the better. Think she can take it Chief?” Sitting for a few moments Janey finally picked up a PADD and did a calculation. She burrowed her brow and looked up from the PADD making a strange sigh cross hmm noise. "We would need to ensure we keep basic systems online for obvious reasons. Random moving objects are starting to get incredibly annoying" Janey made reference to the tricorder and plasma spanner slipping along the deck plate by Ash. "There would be a significant reduction to the performance of the sensors as we know. It could be managed, it would be slow and tedious but, at least it we would be able to get back with a completed mission. I would like to run a few compatance tests first but I'm guessing that's out of the question" Janey smiled a little, she felt less annoyed at herself. "Zzt, how much of the existing power would you need to keep the cloak online at minimal performance?" Janey asked PADD in hand again trying to work out the power distribution. (Reply Vesper, Zzt) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CMO Lt Mil Nicolae 21.57) "Very well then. A team of 3 Med-Sec officers, 3 Security officers, and 2 Nurses is acceptable. Call for help immediately if there is trouble." Trei finished Mil stood fully and nodded. "I will inform the commander of your reservations" Moving to the door he took a deep breath, this next bit wasn't going to be fun. Allowing the door to open full Mil turned. Stepping slightly back into the room the doors closed. ~stay calm~ "Oh Lt, since I was here in my official remit as the Chief Medical Officer I need you to understand a few things" Mil cleared his throat slightly for dramatic effect and partly because he needed to. "Due to your continual aggressive and threatening behaviour and attitude towards myself and your constant refusal to recognise it I'm ordering you to attend a course of sessions with the ships counsellor. There is a list of available times on the PADD infront of you" Mil walked closer to the desk. "However, due to the importance of the current mission I will defer the order until after the mission is complete. Once I leave here I will file my report to the captain with the reasons for the deferment. I take it you understand what's happened Lt?" (Reply Trei) Mil stood and listened. (Reply Trei) (Posted by Mat) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office - CSEC LT(SG) Detron Trei - 22.00) He heard what Nicolae had to say and the report he will file. He understood he will have to have counseling sessions with Caspian after the mission. "I understand what I have to do and will comply after the mission." ~A disgruntled Klingon is impossible to deal with.~ (Reply None) (Posted by Edward) (USS Gannicus - Trei's Office -CMO Lt Mil Nicolea - 22.02) "I understand what I have to do and will comply after the mission." Trei showed little to no emotion in his response. Mil nodded deciding it would be better not to continue the conversation simply turned and left. (USS Gannicus - Holodeck - ATAC Lt JG Tallac Dragovar- 22.05) "Keep your head down." Dragovar lectured the medic, who had just 'died' for the 6th time that session. "Work as a team with your security officer, covering fire then pepperpot forward into cover." He got the sense that the man though this was a big game and was not taking it seriously. "One day you will be doing this for real, and I will not be there to say 'reset simulation'. You do that in the real world and it will be game over. Do you understand?" The man nodded, but he still reminded Tallac of a bored school pupil. A sly smile spread across Tallacs face. "OK, Miller and Andrews. You two work well together, you're team one. DeWinter and Fargon, team two. D'tarth and Balek team three. You." He pointed to the medic called Grahams who he had just been lecturing." You are with me, and I don't like to lose." "Computer, begin simulation Dragovar 732." The scene changed to a rain soaked, muddy wasteland, straight out of a first world war film. he mission:- There are four casualties on the far side of the ridge. Each has identical injuries, in this case a broken leg and internal bleeding. Your task is to get there, stabilise the casualty and get them back to this point for transport." He looked at the teams, either studying the terrain ahead, or nervously checking equiptment. "Anyone killed, me included, will be give a penalty of 25 push-ups. First team back wins a bottle of Vodka each, from my own stash." He saw the grins at this, his vodka was a exquisite blend. "Last team back, will have to wear this for the rest of the day." He pulled out a T-shirt with a large braying donkey on the front. "Computer - Begin simulation." He ordered. Immediately rain began to fall heavily, explosions and flashed occurred around them. "GO!" He roared above the rain as it hammered down. the grabbed his medic by the lapel and dragged him forward, to a clump of broken stones, sheltering as incoming fire began to spark and smash of nearby objects. He bobbed up, fired off a volley then shouted at Graham. "Go next cover!" the medic ran forward, then dropped behind the remains of a vehicle, and in turn laying down covering fire as Tallac lumbered up and crashed down into the mud next to him. This sequence was repeated until they reached the casualty. Dragging him behind a large boulder, the medic began to stabilise the casualty. "Time to earn your pay." Dragovar said, as the medic gave him the signal to move. Lifting the downed marine into both arms, and ordering "Covering fire." He ran for the next lot of cover. A couple of minutes later Dragovar lowered the casualty to the floor, in the safe zone. "First back." Graham said, panting and shaking the water from his hair like a dog. "I do not like giving away my Vodka." Dragovar grinned. Miller and Andrews got back, as did DeWinter and Fargon, but their casualty had been hit in the retreat. D'Tharh stumbled in, but Balek had been hit. Sheepishly Balek started his pushups, the took the proffered Tshirts. "Donkey of the Day." He muttered. (Posted by Tim) (Reply any) (USS Gannicus - Security Department CMO Lt Mil Nicolae- 22.06) Nodding at the few officers that remained on duty Mil passed through the offices and out into the corridor. "Nicolae to Sickbay" He tapped his badge deciding it was best to call in and then decide to go into Sickbay if needed. =/\=go ahead sir=/\= a nurse replied "Any issues I need to be aware of Kathy?" =/\=nothing to note Dr everyone is sleeping and our two criticals are still under. Dr Dodge dropped a message off for you about five mins ago, he would you like to read his evening report, something about the puppy?=/\= Mil could hear the confusion in her voice. "Yeh will do, a few more things to do prior to that. Any issues Dr Nobel is still on call." Mil closed the channel and continued to walk to his office. (USS Gannicus - CMOs Office -CMO Lt Mil Nicolae - 22.13) Walking in Mil went right to the replicator, ordered ginger tea, took a sip and sat on the small sofa. Picking up a PADD he typed his report for both Ensign Caspian and the Captain. He would follow up in person with the Captain in the morning, he decided it best to let Elizabeth make her own mind up. Taking another sip Mil stood and took his tunic off. Walking back to the sofa he picked up Tristan's report and started reading it. A little concern rose when he read what had happened but Dodges report clarified everything. Placing the PADD down Mil made a mental note to talk it over in the morning. His eyes a little heavy he leaned back into the sofa and fell asleep. (Reply none needed) (Posted by Mat)
