It was times like this that Nick really wished that ten forward served the real stuff, he mused.? Ah well, he'd end up passing on the synth crap.? He couldn't stand that stuff.? He got himself a small meal as well, seeing it was still in the middle of one of his many shift's.? He didn't much care for taking a break, even for a meal, but he had been told he had needed it.? He sighed softly, glancing over the lounge itself. Relativedly crowded... what?? Did everyone have the same idea?? He shook his head taken note of one person in particular.? He made his way across the room before he was standing near the table.? "Commander Lox, right?" he asked, plastering a fake grin to his face... it was a pretty accurate replica though.? "May I join you?" he asked. "Sure.? Have a seat."? ? Justin was having a meal of some sort of spicy meat on a bun.? It looked like something like shredded brownish fibers in some brownish-red sauce, with some green and white chunks added in.? He had only taken a few bites of it, but it was obvious it was a messy meal from the drippings on his plate.? "Kinda busy in here today, isn't it?" Nick pulled up a seat, his was just a simple sandwich. He didn't really seem all that put off by Lox's choice of food.? He was used to the exotic. "A little," he said simply.? "Not unexpected though," "It was for me.? I'm? not used to seeing this many people in here, except for formal occasions."? Justin said.? "How are things going?" Nick shrugged, "Fair enough," he said, taking a bite of his sandwich.? He waited until his mouth was empty before speaking again.? "Running drills, trying to keep security tight, never know what sort of thing we'll encounter..." he said. It was true, he had been increasing security and trying to get what security personell he could into a stricter training schedule ever since the Cugino incident.? He wasn't going to let something like that happen again.? "What about you?" he asked. "Simulations, repairs, upgrades.? We stay very busy.? Always something going on. Being short handed has set our upgrades back about 30 days, and getting worse but .. if things will stay quiet for a while... we will catch up."? Justin said. Nick actually chuckled at that, "Well, good luck with quiet..." he said simply. "I'm sure all of us could use the break," he said simply. Justin chuckled too "Quiet is a relative term.? This is quiet" he gestured to the crowded ten forward "for us as least.? "Also.. remember to take time for yourself.? Something that was recently re-reminded to me.? Make sure you take a few hours each day to just relax.? Not just sleep." Nick shrugged at that, "I'm unable to relax unless I'm on the job, but I'm pushing for some leave time, actually, hopefully once we get back from this recent mission," he told him, taking another bite.? He was hoping to actually get the chance to go home and deal with someone who felt it was necessary to send an assassin onboard his ship and grab someone to use against him. "I used to think that way too.? You will get to a paint that you need to get away for a bit.? Start taking that time now, while you can.? It may not be available later."? Justin said.? "What do you plan to do on leave?" Nick shrugged for a moment, "See old friends, some family..." he said.? Though he never really got along with his family after Marissa was hurt and left him...? And the supposed friends were contacts... and people he'd either have to scare into submission... or just kill.? He hoped he wouldn't have to do THAT again... "Your tone says something else... Some trepidation?? It is none of my business.. just be careful in whatever you do.? Keep yourself safe, and... relaxed.? Don't stress out while trying to decompress from the stress of serving on this ship." Justin looked up and at Nick.? "If you need an escape...? I have a couple of holo programs you might enjoy.? Especially if you like adrenalin rushes." Nick shrugged lightly, he'd have to hide his actual emotion a bit better... "Didn't really leave on good terms with my old man," he said.? Then shrugged, laughing at Lox's talk of adrenaline... he was a bit of a junky.? "I have a few of my own," he told him, "It's fun, and doubles as training aids," he said simply. "You should check out the life of Robin Hood sometime," he added.? A brief shrug.? "What'd you have in mind?" he asked. "I race shuttles.? I have a obstacle course sim that makes the top pilot's certification program at the Academy look like a walk in the park.? Then there is my re-create of one of out early missions, called the stone place.? That one is sure to either make you lose your lunch, or give you such a rush it takes a week to come down off it." Justin grinned.? "Robin Hood?? You should talk to Dr. Blake.? She loves sims like that." Nick nodded lightly, "Sounds like my kinda thing alright," he said, "I figured the doc would like that sorta thing after that little fantasy sim she ran on the holodeck one day, that was pretty fun," he said simply. "That is was.? We need to do more of that in the future." Justin said.? "Maybe we can devote one of the holodeck to an ongoing real-time game that we can step into and out of as needed... " He was quickly lost in though working out power consumption, deck stresses, and other factors "Security could use it too.. completely different kind of combat and encounters than what they would expect. Great for honing one's edge... yes?"? He looked over at Nick Nick took a final bite, nodding as he chewed thoughtfully, washing it down with whatever beverage that was.?? "I think I'll just have to look into that," he said with a smile. "But if you'll excuse me, my shift isn't quite up," he said with a wink as he stood. Justin nodded and focused his attention back on his PADD. =/\= =/\= =/\= Lt. Commander Justin Lox, CEO Lt.

"Reed to Doctor Blake," he said simply. Cait looked up from the medkit she was packing and tapped her combadge. "Doctor Blake here. How can I help Mister Reed?" "What did you require from security?" he asked, "I have a team ready and I'm assuming you needed something different for the trip with the cargo bays, then something else with your team planetside?" he paused, it had been a while since he'd been on an away mission... it'd be a nice diversion. "Can you meet me in my office? I'd like to have Doctor Wilkinson in on the planning?" Cait sent back. Nick scowled deeply at that, "I suppose so..." he said, "Will she be accompanying the awayteam?" he asked as he made his way to the turbolift. "We'll discuss all that when you get here." Cait said.She signed off with Reed and commed Kat. "Doc Blake to Wilkinson. Will you please come to my office." She knew she was pushing the woman but she had to make sure Kat wouldn't go bugnuts planetside. Kat was in her quarters doing some calming exercises when she heard her combadge. tapping it she responded. "Wilkinson here.......I can be there in a few." she said aloud. she was confident that she'd made enough strides in her situation that she could indeed handle an away mission. the last report on her mother's failing health had been somewhat positive though she wasn't out of the woods yet she'd more or less hold on until Kat could get there. as for dealing with her attack she was finally able to go into sickbay without shaking like a leaf she knew that had to count for something positive. Nick sighed softly... running a hand over his eyes slowly. "On my way, Doc... Reed out." he said, entering the turbolift. "Sickbay..." he said. Wouldn't take him all that long to get from the science labs to sickbay itself. He really wasn't looking forward to potentially working with Kat again... especially not after that incident in the holodeck. She called for his help... for a simulation... just to get him to come. He was a bit angry about that still. But it hadn't gone on any report. It was just between the two of them. He felt his jaw clench lightly, before he remembered that the good Doctor Blake, would be able to pick up his emotions. He promptly squelched them. Then stepped from the lift into the corridor, heading toward the sickbay itself. Kat headed into sickbay thinking back to the simulation she'd run. she felt like she had no choice and she knew damn well if she'd have come out and asked Nick to help her he wouldn't. he'd barely said two words to her since he'd faced Cugino in the security office. She thought of the upcoming away mission knowing it'd probably be her chance to prove she was back regardless of where she stood with Reed he had every right to be upset with her she'd called on him under false pretenses though she'd never do it again. She took on a reserved and professional demeanor burrying any and all emotion where both her mother and Nick were concerned as she entered Cait's office. Cait looked up, raising an eyebrow at the emotions she could feel Kat trying to hide but didn't say anything. She"d watch how things panned out. "Mister Reed should be here shortly." "Actually I'm right here, ma'am," he said, nodding toward Kat as he entered the sickbay. "Doctor..." he said in way of greeting. His tone cool, levelled, his emotions either nonexistant or just frigid. Might have gotten better luck reading the emotion of a wall. He looked toward the CMO expectantly, he had already asked her what she needed, all he needed was for her to tell him. "I need to make sure that anyone coming up via shuttle craft gets scanned for radiation. That goes for both crew and refugees. The other thing we need is the cargo bay we've been assigned converted to a living area. We'll need security for that and when we start bringing refugees up." Cait looked at the pair. "I'd like the two of you to work on those things." Kat raised a brow, she had something to prove with this mission and would focus all her energy into getting things done. the old Kat was well on her way back though she knew she shouldn't have let the Cugino thing affect her like she did. now that was behind her and maybe she could return to her duties after the mission. "yes ma'am" she said acknowledging the assignment. "Excellent, but as I said before, I want you planetside with me." Cait said. Nick nodded, "I can get the teams prepared for that easily enough," he said simply, "Anything else you'll need from us, Doctor?" he asked after a few moments. "I believe so. Just be ready for anything. Never can tell what will happen with civilian refugess." Cait said quietly. Kat nodded "we'll be ready." she stated quickly glancing to Nick briefly. From janus at magicstar.net Sun Oct 11 20:58:32 2009 From: janus at magicstar.net (J) Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:58:32 -0400 Subject: [Vimyridge] SD941011.20 Security gets a repair Pt 1 (Lox, Reed, Azten, Cho'lu) Message-ID: <551A5E89559245CB9F8D0ADD990B6C7F@firecat> Justin stepped into the security section and looked around "Hello?" Nick nodded lightly at the young officer he was currently talking with. Handing him the PADD back, "Alright, there ya go, now, make sure the you stay on that, got it?" he asked, the young man nodded, then turned to walk away. Nick's head popped out from around the corner, smiling. "Commander Lox, what can I do for you, good sir?" he asked he looked like he was working pretty hard, but all in all, he seemed in a good, cheerful mood... looks were deceiving. "Work order for console S12 in security area 4, subsection 6. According to my report your console is 'not acting properly'." Justin replies, reading it off his PADD. "I need to know what proper and not proper is so I can fix it." "Commander Lox, welcome to the most secure part of the ship, want a tour while you are here?" Yim'Bar asked with a smile. Proceeding he said, these are our offices, that is the Brig." He smiled, "Want a Doughnut?" "Are there enough doughnuts for everyone? Because I want one. Oh and hello Commander Lox, welcome sir." Skylar looks around for the doughnuts. Nick looked toward the other officers, smirking a bit.? "The Commander got a work order for console S12 in sec 4, sub 6, either of you put that one in?" he asked, he hadn't heard about it, but then again, he was more of the patrolling type person, though he had taken turns in the office from time to time.? A work order very easily could have slipped past him.? Nick had a more focused mind, trying to keep things running efficiently... doughnuts, at the moment, would be detrimental... after the job was accomplished, then it'd be fine he supposed... unless he could just as easily work on the console while eating.? He wasn't like a nazi or anything about that after all. Justin smiled "I'd love a tour.. but I also need to know how the console in question is supposed to react, and what it is doing that leads you to believe it isn't.? Donuts are always a welcome addition to such things." "Doughnuts are always welcomed," Yim'Bar looked over at Nick and then Azten, "I do not recall the work order being called in.? What does it connect too.? I should know the systems better, but I tend to focus on the Brig, and the sensors.? Is it a critical system?" Justin checked his PADD "Says here secondary, but important." Nick frowned a bit... "Well, Commander, if you'd like I can show you to the console itself," he offered, "We could get the doughnuts brought to us, run a few diagnostics, see what's wrong with it then," he said simply.

The large Bolian had always had problems with first impressions, usually owing to his propensity to speak without thinking, but he was getting better with time. This would be, he hoped, a positive encounter. Kylee tapped her fingers upon her desk as she looked over the new data coming in. Her face showed she still wasn't sleeping well, and was contemplating her next step. She did not know if she wanted to go to the planet, or request to go to the asteroid field. She thought she could perhaps be of more use to everyone there. Takis' boot thumped clumsily against the door as he stepped up to it. He sighed and pressed the button to announce himself. Kylee arched her brow, glancing up for a moment as she heard the chime. "Enter," she said, before lowering her gaze back to the PADD in her hand. Takis stepped inside, easing the pack off his shoulder and standing straight when he spotted the young woman at the desk. "Crewman Second Class Takis Daephon reporting in, Ma'am," he said. Then, without thinking: "Wow, you don't look so good." Kylee blinked, her gaze snapping up quickly to look at Daephon. "I've got a new crewman? How in the hell did I miss that?" she asked, quickly digging through the PADDs over her desk. "Sit.. sit.. I'll find your orders in a moment.." she said, indicating the chair across from her and arching her brow at his comment. "We're a bit busy around her crewman, meaning long hours. How long have you been on board?" "Only a few hours," Takis replied. "There was a delay in getting onboard, as I have an identical twin brother who's also in Starfleet. Causes problems all the time. Anything I can do to lessen the workload? I'm ready to get started." "Glad to have you aboard... As for work, that will be in a bit.. first I need to learn a bit more.. First.. what skills do you have?" she asked. "And in which sciences are you focused?" She glanced up as she continues to search for the correct orders, before lowering her gaze to her desk. "Oh, ah, well," Takis mumbled. "Ethnobotany was my specialty of study at the Academy. I also aced my advanced survival training. I'm also a good cook, and I can reach things on high shelves." Kylee stopped her searching, lifting her gaze to stare at Takis."You're not nervous, are you?" she asked, noting him mumbling, though a smirk finds her lips about the joke on reaching high shelves. "I'm sure those skills will come in handy.." "You might be surprised, Ma'am," Takis said, smiling. "They're always trying to maximize space on these starships. Sometimes an extra couple centimeters' reach can save a lot of time." The fact that she'd noticed his nervousness made him even more nervous. Kylee chuckled softly at his joke, crossing her arms before her and placing them on her desk. "This your first time on a starship, Takis?" she asked. "Or, there another reason that you're so nervous?" Takis sighed, slouching a little, but still smiling. "Truthfully, Ma'am, I worked really hard to get this assignment; this ship is prime real estate. I don't want to screw it up, and I do have a tendency to speak without thinking." He was glad to see the Chief's mood improving. Smiling, Kylee nodded as she sat back in her seat. "Well, the hard work is just starting for ya here. We're in the middle of trying to save the inhabitants of a planet from the solar flares, and my department is fairly low in staff, so you will have plenty to keep you busy," she said. "If you are here, that means you've deserved the position, so I trust you to do fine here." "Thanks, Chief," Takis said. "I won't let ya down." --------------------- respectfully submitted by Crewman Daephon Science & Lt Nix Chief Science -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Blake, J. Lox, Ivri, Mellissa (NPC'd by Lox), Ali Saffie (NPC'd by Toby)) In-Reply-To: <729ADF54F9E243EE8C19086E0C0B1DC5@firecat> References: <3A829CC99461431DB58DD65672A41E87@Firebird><07FA8260EC8A466D956B7C7199631AC2@Firebird><59BAD5F2CE75447CB00FBB1E75400C9D@Firebird><0C595A143F0A45888739F107946DA739@firecat><2CCA2D6D50894EB9A3305E626A0FB20C@Firebird> <729ADF54F9E243EE8C19086E0C0B1DC5@firecat> Message-ID: <317C3A2A85B34520BB3D85628A744262@Firebird> [XO's Quarters] Not paying attention to the location of the two fairy lizards that were part of the family, Toby grabbed what he'd forgotten earlier and headed out of the quarters he shared with his wife, daughter and Jewel and Ali the two fairy lizards. He never saw Ali make her escape, his mind on the PADD in his hand and on the reason he needed it. He headed off, down the corridor one way. While Ali, wisely, went the other. The little irridescent winged sapphire blue lizard was on the hunt. [Ship Corridors] Now that she had made her escape and stretched her wings, Ali was looking for the hatchling that belonged to her and her mother's humans. In her search she flew in and out of various rooms, with the aid of the comings and goings of the crew, helping herself to a flower that was on a vase on a table in an area where many gathered. In and out of turbo lifts went the little fairy lizard, and up and down the corridors, with no success in finding the hatchling, though there was a tense moment of a near miss with the boss of her human. The human wasn't mean, the human just wasn't as friendly as others probably the result of those funny bumps on the upper facial region. She wasn't sure how such things went for humans, but she did not find those ridges overly attractive, now if those ridges were on another fairy lizard, that was different. Finally Ali was forced to land to rest a moment, and she trilled calling out to the little hatchling, hoping she would call out so the sound could be followed. Ivri was on her way to a workout, she had put it off for far to long. Her small frame stepped lightly and lively in anticipation. The Counselor paused for a moment not sure what it was that she heard. She glanced around her dark eyes clouded half in fear and half in curiosity. "What was that..." She shook her bald head, not sure if she had heard any thing. The Counselor shrugged and turned to continue on her way. Perhaps she should forget the workout and get a physical. The Counselor had not had one since the incident Dr. Braden and his pheromone experiment. Getting no response, the little sapphire lizard took to wing once more and flitted down the corridor, rode another turbo lift and came out in another corridor and flew along, looking for the hatchling. Comeing to stop in the middle of another large intersection to trill and call out for the hatchling once more. Melissa and Justin were talking as they walked down the corridor. Both ere off duty, and taking a relaxing walk in one of the lesser used corridors, on their way to a quiet dinner. "Do you hear that?" Justin asked. Mellissa nodded "Yes, but what is it?" Justin shook his head "I don't know. Something must have gotten out of sciences holding pens." He tapped his comm. "Lox to Sciences.. We seem to have an escaped critter on Deck 8, section 4. You will want to come retrieve it." Voice heard and recognized, Ali took to the air and flew in the direction of Justin's voice, trilling, chirping, hissing, and a plethora of other sounds that made up her language as she asked this human friend of her pet, where the pet's hatchling was. "Whoa there little lady!" Justin said as he tried to fend off the aggressive fairly lizard. "How did you get out?" Melissa looked at the little dragon wide eyes and awe. Justin tapped his comm again. "Lox to Sciences, cancel my last request. I have found the creature in question. I will see about returning it to it's home." He reached out to give Ali a place to land. "Are you looking for someone?" Ali lights on Justin's arm trilling and whistling at him. Justin listens to the little lizard, while Melissa watched. "It sounds like it is looking for someone." Said Melissa. "That is does. Ali? You know Toby is on the bridge. Cait is in sickbay. You know where both of those are. Why are you down here hunting?" Justin asked. The little winged lizard studied Justin for several minutes before trilling the melody of one of the lullabies Cait often sings to Rose. "Oh. You are looking for Rose. She is in the daycare area.. deck 4." Justin said. Melissa smiled "That's cute. I didn't know they could sing like that." "Lox to Commander Toby Blake.." Justin tapped his comm. "Blake here." Came Toby's slightly harrassed sounding voice. "Your little lizard is out hunting for Rose. I just found her on Deck 8." Justin replied. "Should I take her to the daycare, or to your office?" He asked, hoping to keep things short to the overworked Executive Officer. "Bring her to my office please." The sigh was evident in his voice. "Okay." replied Justin as he tapped his com to close the connection. Then he and Melissa, took the little lizard, up to Toby's office. ___________________________________________ Cmdr Tobias "Toby" Blake XO Lt Cmdr Justin Lox CEO Lt Ivri Cons Melissa NPC'd by Lox Ali Saffie NPC'd by Blake
