From kylana.14th at gmail.com Mon Sep 28 19:32:17 2009 From: kylana.14th at gmail.com (Kylana ~) Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:32:17 -0700 Subject: [Vimyridge] SD940928.16 - Chit Chat and some Food in 10 Forward Pt 1 - Vilqa, Saladin and Wilkinson Message-ID: <> Vilqa entered the lounge, it was a long tiring day that started at 0500 and lasted to nearly 2100. It wasn't until she left her ready room than she truly realized how hungry she was. Walking into a quite busy lounge she was shocked and yet pleased at the same time to see so many people there at least attempting to retain some sort of normalcy. She approached a replicator and got herself a bowl of New England style clam chowder inside a carved out sourdough bun and searched for a location to take a seat while her soup was still steaming hot. Katerina sat alone in a corner table picking at her plate of food not feeling very hungry but knew she'd better eat something. her mind wandered to recent events in the holodeck more so the strides she'd made to put the whole Cugino mess behind her. though she was still concerned over her friendship with Nick. Saladin was back in the lounge again. He gave an internal sigh; it was more difficult than it might at first seem to try and break out of a routine that was tied to study, research and genuine solitariness. Crowds of people just set him on edge. "Hmmm" he thought to himself, "Perhaps that is why I sought out the stars, they seemed less crowded." Making her way over Vilqa spotted Wilkinson and decided to change course toward the woman, "May I?" Her foot hooked the leg of an empty chair at the doctor's table. Kat looked up from her plate, a little surprised that the Captain was addressing her. she gave her a light smile though still had alot of things weighing heavily on her mind. "be my guest Captain" she said. Other than shortly after Rose Blake was born she hadn't had much contact with her outside of duty. "Thank you Commander." The part klingon offered a partial smile which was, in the scheme of things as good as it was going to get. "How are things holding up for you?" "well things are progressing." she told her trying to sound positive about her strides to put the incident a few months ago behind her. "I mean I'm able to walk into sickbay now without shaking like a leaf, though I do still have work to do on that." she told her. she reached up and massaged the back of her neck in an attempt to relieve some the tension she was still feeling. "and how are you Captain?" she asked. "Baby steps, Doctor." K`ylana nodded, "Has Doctor Blake spoken to you about an away mission planet side?" The Captain queried before answering the question posed to her, "Other than the physical drain of long hours which each of us are having to endure I am well." She glanced about the lounge a few moments to see who else was about, not that she didn't want to be in Wilkinson's company, she had chosen to sit there; but to simply be constantly aware of her surroundings and those gathered around her. Kat nodded. "I know Captain." she said as she looked around making note of her surroundings. she nibbled a bit of what was on her plate while she listened to the Captain. "it's good to hear you are well ma'am" she said "despite the stresses and such." she added. "yes Doctor Blake did mention something about an away mission. but I don't recall if I was being considered to be sent or not as she also mentioned setting up additional treatment areas in one of the shuttle bays." she told her as she reached for her glass of tea and took a sip. "I suppose we'll have to see what the doctor decides in the end." K`ylana then smiled as she heard Marcus. - Hide quoted text - Marcus was looking for a seat, he wasn't eating, hadn't been intending to stay long at all, he would eat and drink back in his own room later. But he had promised the counselor he would attempt to interact with others; indeed, he had promised himself. Then he spied K'ylana and couldn't help the brief smile that he flashed her way. He moved a couple of steps to the right and saw she was sat with Wilkinson. He gave it just a moment of thought and then walked quickly with large purposeful strides, towards their table. "I hope I'm not interrupting?" "Hello Marcus. Of course not," she lightly kicked out a char, "Would you like to have a seat?" She glanced to Kat, "Have you had the pleasure to meet Doctor Katerina Wilkinson?" Kat looked up when she heard the Captain speak to commander Saladin. she recalled meeting him shortly after he came aboard but hadn't seen much of him since. she looked in his direction. "no you're not interrupting Commander , you're welcome to join us if you'd like." she said. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He fell silent and tapped the side of his cheek, deep in thought. She looked down to her PADD, pulling up that information to examine, her eyes widening. "That can't be right.." she said softly, moving quickly over to her computer and pulling up the flare on the screen. "The flares have just increased in size and strength.. That last one was nearly double the size of the others.." she said. "And now.. it's occurred in a different location.. either deliberately to hide something.. or the effects are getting worse on their own.." "So what you are telling me, " Vilqa looked toward Nix as if the previous questioning just never took place; her mind on the present, "is the probe's locale was never an issue before now?" Justin looked over his PADD again, re-checking all the data from the now destroyed probe. "The probe was originally scanning the sun.. It wasn't move to the asteroid field until recently.. which is a lot farther away then its original location.." she said, showing the two sets of coordinates on the screen. "This was a very strong flare.. and since it's the only one.. I'm thinking perhaps it was unnaturally caused..meaning we.." she paused, looking to Justin. "Look back on the data from the probe and see if there was any unusual asteroid movement." "Already checking... so far nothing... but there is a lot of data." Justin replied as he worked though several million kiloquads of data. "My only concern is the ship and the crew..." Nick said, "Ma'am I recommend that we maintain a safe distance until we find a pattern, so we can avoid the flares altogether, there has to be a way to know where another flare will be..." he said, looking to the captain. With Yim'Bar on the surface right now, that made him her security advisor, along with Saladin and the XO. So he that was all it was. Advice. Still, if they went in, he'd be ready... "Sensor show... showed something impacting the star just before the flare, The probes were too far away to detect what it was. One of the other probes saw the hit, and 15 minutes later the probe I was watching was engulfed with a coronal discharge." Justin replied. "I'm checking the probes we have monitoring the star to see if I can get a trajectory on the object that hit the star." - Hide quoted text - Kylee furrowed her brow as she began to sort through the information on the impact to the sun. "If it's what I think it is, we will be looking for a fairly large asteroid moving towards the sun. Search the data on the probes in the asteroid field for any movement, we should also look over the data that the ship itself might have gathered through scanning," she said, arching her brow slightly at Nick's words. "A solar flare is only detectable about a second before it begins.." "Nix,..." Vilqa looked toward the female who had the most hands on focus on the flares, "Based on your research," she was agreeing with Reed to adjust the Vimy Ridge's location from their current safe harbour, "What coordinates do you believe is the safest locale for the Vimy Ridge or are we in it now?" Kylee chewed on her lower lip for a moment, her brow furrowing in thought as she looked at the image of the area around the sun. "If you want somewhere safe, where we can be shielded, we can rest the ship behind either planet..The atmosphere would block the effects.." she stated, pointing to two separate coordinates. Vilqa inched forward to look at the two locations Nix was pointing out, "We need to get the vessel into place for our safety." K`ylana sighed a moment, "Reed when was your last communication with Cho'lu.? We need to attempt to contact him." "About forty five minutes ago, ma'am," Nick said, "I advised him to stay in contact with me, to play it safe," he told the Captain. "He'll contact us every hour, baring any unforseen issues on the surface," - Hide quoted text - K`ylana nodded, brow furrowing, "Vilqa to the Ensign Garret.." she paused waiting for his reply. Matthew heard the captains voice. "Garret here. Go ahead" "Ensign I need you to take the ridge out at a slow pace. We want to find shelter under thesouth pole of the planet. Solar flares are becoming less predictable so I need you to take the journey with great caution to not get caught up." "Aknowledged. Im on my way. Garret out" Matthew said as he left his quarters "Very good." Vilqa acknowledge Garret before the comms was cut off prematurely. She shrugged slightly toward Toby then looked to the officers, "Seems we all just got a bit busier and Commander Blake and I are not helping standing on your toes. Reed I need you to contact Doctor Blake and see what she requires of security both on the vessel with the cargo bays and once she heads planet-side with her medical team. Nix," Vilqa finally responded to an earlier request, "You will go down to the surface with the doctor and her team should you want to continue your studies there." "Aye ma'am..." Nick said, heading for the door, already tapping his commbadge. Marcus nodded as the orders were given out, waiting to see if there were any new for him but knowing that his department had their hands full working with security on evacuation possibilities, and security and medical with regards to extra sick bay space, and ensuring all departments were sharing information quickly and efficiently. ((And now onto your own logs based on orders/goings on... And the rest of you not in this JL I am still hoping to see some of the temporary red alert reactions :) )) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ivri Counselor "Red Bells Clanging" Message-ID: <6869CFA0895E4AAEA76F9B4202189578@MicsPuter> [Counselor's Quarter's] The Counselor was in the middle of a shower when she heard the words of Commander Blake "Red alert, raise shields and prepare for incoming solar flare. Radiation measures in effect. All unnecessary personnel and families to interior portions of the ship!" "Oh....Oh that's bad..." Escaped the deltan's lips as she quickly rinsed and stepped out. The Counselor ran as she dried and hoped on one foot and then the other to her closet. As she danced in a bizarre show of towel drying and finding her undergarments and uniform shoving a leg in here and a arm in there. Ivri eventually found herself dressed in the most bizarre fashion. Shaking her head she took almost everything off and started over wasting precious minutes to get everything right. The Deltan bolted for the door and headed out of her quarters she blew right into anther medical officer and they both went down in a jumble of legs, arms heads knocked together. The two finally skidded to a halt knocking one other person over in the process. As the three of them untangled themselves, leering grins were made as were mumbled words of apology. Then they all bolted once again towards their respected areas of the ship. A dark circle was beginning to form near one of the Counselors eyes and temple though she did not know it as she skid into sickbay with the other med technician as the words "Stand down red alert" rang from the comm system. The Counselor and the medical technician looked at each other in disbelief. "Ya gotta be kiddin' me" The med tech said as he turned and stormed back out of sickbay "Get your eye looked at and I hope my food isn't cold." we're heard as the doors slid shut behind him. The Counselor sighed softly to herself and went to her office to check her schedule then to get her eye checked. Lt.

Are they close enough to expose your inner self to?" The Counselor queried "Or do you try to keep your feelings to yourself?" Marcus sighed, "I lived on Vulcan for two years, I always keep my feelings to myself." He smiled, "It's a trait I'm trying to over come, along with." He fell quiet for nearly a minute as his last sentence trailed off..."Alot of other things..." The Counselor watched Marcus for a moment and then spoke softly "Would you mind sharing or is it too early for that?" Marcus shrugged, "I don't know. I just think I'm obsessive and it affects everything, from my work to my social life, emotionally, physically. Everything. If anyone ever decided to really dig deep into my life they would discover an inordinate amount of time and energy tracking a certain Shania Neasau, a woman who is officially dead." There, he had said it now, and he was certain that all the details would roll out and the weight would finally lift from his mind after all these years. Oh, he had mentioned Shania to others, even hinted at how he spent most of his spare time; why he was so anti social, but he had never really divulged the whole story to someone else. Ivri blinked and blinked again a small pucker formed between her dark eyebrows. Her voice was soft, sincere and serious yet audible "Yet, I believe that the question remains is this... Marcus, do you believe she is dead?" Marcus shook his head, "She's not dead...I've seen her on several occasions, but I can't figure out what happened. She goes by many names now. Never by Shania. She survived the accident, but her last message to me was to never contact her again." He fell silent, sure his answered begged as many questions as they answered." "I see..." Ivri trailed off for a moment "Have you ever discussed this with anyone else?" The Counselor wondered if there was another Counselor involved in this case or not. "Does Shania have family?" Marcus nodded, "A little, to the captain, but that was a long time ago, no one recently, and never to a counselor Ivri nodded her face appeared to show her to be in thought for the moment as that tell-tale sign of the small pucker that formed between her dark eye brows. She did not look at Marcus like he was crazy and in that he should feel some relief. Momentarily she asked "You pursued the avenue of finding her?" "I had this compulsion to find out the truth. Until recently I would spend nearly every spare hour searching for Shania. We even sent several messages back and forth when I finally located her. Her family think her dead. So do mine, they don't believe me." "So, what do you want to do about that?" the Counselor said hesitantly not trying to push but to let Marcus go forward with this at his own pace. "I want to move past it...it's not just the relationship, it was all this not knowing. Not understanding. I...I need to move past it and move on, relationally and for the sake of my life." "Your life? Your not in any danger are?" Curiosity and a bit of fear went through Ivri, the recent events with Dr. Kat and the Cugino incident bothered even the Counselor on a deep hidden level. Marcus shrugged, an almost nonchalant gesture that seemed resigned to whatever fate might decide. "It's hard to say counselor. Shania, well, it's difficult to say just what she's involved with. Threats have been made in the past, unofficially of course, and not by she." The Counselor sort of nodded an understanding her mind still filled with a tad of fear. "I see... did she.." Ivri paused to collect herself and to take a sip of her now warm drink to moisten her throat as Marcus continued. "Her last message, I've kept it. Which is also against the advice she gave me, but it's holographic and therefore the most recent and perhaps last news received from her. Still, she will not be pleased if she does find out, she stepped out of bounds and should not have sent it. A corner of Ivri's mouth twitched in an unspoekn understanding. "Curiosity killed the cat, so they say." He smiled, "But though I can't destroy the hologram I am ready to move on, to leave curiosity behind." "I see so what your saying is that you just do not know how to do that? Or are you a little saddened to give up?" The Counselor didn't want to push to hard but she needed to know who committed the Commander was to his new found cause of release of a woman who had bonds on him in an unknown way. "I think a little of both if I'm honest counselor. I feel like in some ways, this pursuit to find out where she really is, what really happened, to demand answers; well its consumed my life and so I want to give it up, and yet to an extent it has been my life and so it is difficult to give it up." Does that make sense? The Counselor nodded her understanding in response "And then, well one can't go pining after the same woman their own life can they?" He smiled whimsically, "And sometimes someone or something comes along that causes you to have an incentive to step past it, to push past it all, get a life, stretch your wings, move forward." Ivri smiled not knowingly but at the same time knowingly. "and..." "I think more than anything, I'm telling you this for accountabilities sake. I do want to move past it but I have so many questions about what that might look like and even what might be ethical about that." "Your concern is about what the Federation thinks about such things or what others think?" "Maybe both?" He let it drop though, "To me the real question of concern is this.. Marcus, you yourself said you are ready to let go." Ivri leaned forward ever so slightly and placed her glass back on the table as she continued to look at Marcus and speak "Then let it, her... go and move on." The counselor paused again as she sat back up. "As for others..." Ivri shrugged slightly in the shoulders "let them think what they will, they do not know your heart, only you do." Her tone was gentle and caring. "but if it involves something illegal there might be repercussions, you understand that don't you?" Her eyes twinkled again lightly with humor as for she was joking ever so slightly about the illegal part. "I don't think it's illegal." The sides of his mouth twitched up slightly. Then he sighed, "You're right, it's time to forget about the past completely." ~Finis Lt. Cmdr. Marcus Saladin Operations Manager & Lt.
