[Vimyridge] SD950120.13 - JL Pt 16 - Vilqa, T Blake, Nix, DuMont, Fen, Lyndosee

[Kylana ~]

[Hallway]

"Will be there in a few minutes," Kylee said, tapping her comm badge to
close the communication. Gripping her PADD in hand, she increases her pace,
breathing slowly and remaining calm even with the situation growing ever
worse.

[Bridge]


Ensign Marie took the PADD and stepped back with a soft whisper, her
demeanor turning pale and shaky as her straight back tensed and her eyes
moved to her feet as if a trained reaction to someone who is her superior
snapping on her for wrong doings, "Yes Mistress". She then obediently moved
to a small distance from the chief of security and stood quietly until
needed.


Toby had been uncertain what to make of what he was picking up off the new
ensign, her refering to K`y as Mistress however caused both brows to vanish
into his hair and to try to get the captain to not blow her stack, he leaned
in and whispered in her ear, "Gently Captain, something is terribly wrong
here, I don't think this young woman should have ever graduated or been
cleared for duty. She needs serious help."



Vilqa grit her teeth as she heard the hushed tone from Toby to herself alone
and his soft words for her ears only calmed her somewhat; "You will address
me as Captain, Ma'am or Sir." Her eyes shot to DuMont to get a handle on the
situation; this was not the time for this. Not when people were dying and
her crew were in a perilous situation. "Find something for the ensign to
do," and she thought but did not say, 'preferably off the bridge.'


The doors to the bridge opened yet again, Vilqa spun to see if it was Nix or
someone else.

Marie gulped but tapped her fingers on the back of her neck and centered
herself, her demeanor changing and she again looked stoic and confident as
she stood at attention waiting until needed and to await her orders. Her
eyes move to the door and look as they open.

"Reporting for duty Captain" said Ensign Fen, feeling a sudden jolt in her
stomach.

K`ylana nodded, "To your station Ensign. Lieutenant Sulp you are relieved
for now." The two engineers exchanged positions and the Captain once more
waited for Nix.

Kylee reached the bridge a short time later and stepped out of the
turbolift, only slightly out of breath from her jog. Her eyes sought out the
captain, making her way over to the woman, eyes glancing about to see who
else was there as well. "Captain, I believe I have determined the cause
behind the sun's solar flares, and perhaps a way to slow the effects until
able to determine a permanent solution."

The crystal blue eyes of the executive officer looked over and took in
Ensgin Fen. Years of practice kept the thought in his head from finding it's
way to his mouth, ~Another one? When it rains it pours.~ Though he knew of
the new crew coming in, he didn't quite expect them to show up on the
bridge, with one of them being the equivalent of a psychological shuttle
wreck, and the other well time would tell. He just hoped she didn't put the
captain in a worse mood. The mission was enough.

Ensign Marie saw the engineer enter and move to the captain then to her
station and stood out of the way to stand guard until her commanding officer
ordered different, her eyes scanning the bridge trying to feel everything
out and put it to memory, her mind going over the fact she has upset the
captain her face a look of worry but trying to hide it behind a mask of
confidence as she stood straight and waited for further orders.

Jason turned to his subordinate, disappointed. He spoke to her in a quiet
tone. "When I am on the bridge, that does not mean its time to 'check in'.
For now, go to security and begin weapons maintenance. And for future
refernce, report to the captain and executive officer before reporting to
me. Understood?"

"Yes Sir", Ensign Marie said and turned a bit pale while lowering her eyes
at another scolding as she obediently bowed her head and moved to the
turbolift and pressed the button to go down, the sound of the doors closing
hushing the whimper she lets out as she goes down to the task at hand.

As she left, Jason turned around to face the captain and exec. "I apologize.
It wont happen again"

The Captain nodded slowly, "Thank you DuMont." She then took a moment
to calm herself before continuing to DuMont, "Contact the USS Mistral and
request their assistance to aid in evacuation for those who are willing to
leave."

Jason nodded. "Aye Captain" he said, typing a message, which read: "USS
Mistral, this is the USS Vimyridge, requiring assistance in the evacuation
of
civilians planetside. Please respond"
