*********************************************************** Start of Compiles Day 1 (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - CO- CaptainDevan Sash -19:33) (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - Ensign John Harrison-19:34) (USS Nimitz - Ensign Harrison's Quarters - Ensign John Harrison -19:47) (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters- CO- Captain Devan Sash- 2345) (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 2350) Day 2 (USS Nimitz - Deck 3, Saleke's quarters - Ensign Saleke - 06:30 ) (USS NIMITZ - Officer's quarters - NPC Ensign John Carlton - 0640) (USS NIMITZ - Deck 6, CSO's office - Ensign Saleke - 07:30) (USS Nimitz - Deck 6, Labs - Ensign Saleke and NPC Geologist Chan Kenishi - 0800) (USS Nimitz - Sickbay - CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid - 0840) (USS Nimitz - Entering Sickbay - CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid - 0904) (USS Nimitz - Bridge- CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0907) (USS Nimitz- Siockbay- CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0910) (USS Nimitz - Sickbay - CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0913) (USS Nimitz - Corridor opposite CSO office - SFI/XO - Commander John Wilson - 10:45) (USS Nimitz - Main Bridge - CO - Captain Devan Sash- 1315) Stardate: 2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - CO- CaptainDevan Sash -19:33) "Sir...I...I apologise for my timing..." Sash was fighting back a chuckle himself, "No need to apologize, Ensign, your timing was ... classic. What can I do for you." "I'm very proud to be here, sir. I look forward to the honour of serving under you. What exactly will my duties be aboard the Nimitz?" "Well Ensign," Sash smiled, "it would probably help if you gave me your orders, and then I could better direct you." Harrison shook his head and hurriedly handed Sash the PADD with his transfer orders. Sash took a moment to read over them. He hummed a little and then nodded. Then an even bigger smile grew. "So you're the new counselor," he looked over at Nessa, who appeared to be choking back a laugh. "Well, counselor, some might say that your timing is impeccable." He turned to Nessa and gestured to her. "Let me introduce you to Commander Winters. She is my First Officer." "He's our Counsellor!" Vanyssa said with delight, chiming in from the couch. "I thought your name seemed vaguely familiar." She got up from the couch and limped over. "Ensign, I'm Commander Winters, the First Officer." Her ankle chose that moment to buckle and she fell, hoping that one of the two gentleman would catch her. "Owwwwww." Sash and Harrison rushed to Nessa's side as she fell. Sash managed to catch her before she got all the way to the floor and pulled her up. He supported her weight and pulled her in closer. The sudden contact was like an electric charge. He swept her off her feet and placed her back on the sofa. "You stay there," he said, in a patronly tone. She just nodded. (Harrison) "Have you gotten settled into your quarters yet?" Sash inquired. (reply Harrison) "Then I suggest you do that. It's to late in the evening to start work. Come and see me tomorrow and we'll get you started." (reply Harrison) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate: 2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - Ensign John Harrison-19:34) Sash and Harrison rushed to Nessa's side as she fell. Sash managed to catch her before she got all the way to the floor and pulled her up. He supported her weight and pulled her in closer. The sudden contact was like an electric charge. He swept her off her feet and placed her back on the sofa. "You stay there," he said, in a patronly tone. She just nodded. "Pleasure to meet you," Harrison said, smiling pleasantly. "Have you gotten settled into your quarters yet?" Sash inquired. "No, sir, not yet," he replied. ~Shoot! Wonder where my bag is?~ "Then I suggest you do that. It's to late in the evening to start work. Come and see me tomorrow and we'll get you started." "Thank you, sir." He saluted once more, turned and saluted to Commander Williams, then turned and walked smartly out into the corridor. He wandered down the corridor a little way until he came to a map of the ship. ~Alright, let's try out this fancy computer system~ "Computer, where are Ensign Harrison's quarters?" he asked, pressing the relevant button and feeling relatively stupid. The computer told him and he walked off. Stardate: 2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Ensign Harrison's Quarters - Ensign John Harrison -19:47) He strolled in to find his bag was already on his bed. He smiled at the surprisingly big room. It wasn't huge, but it was bigger than he expected. It was very nice, very cosy, and best of all it had a porthole, through which he could see the people of Starbase Geneva going about their business. He unpacked his bag, chose a good book, and relaxed in his new home. (posted by James Batchelor) Stardate: 2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters- CO- Captain Devan Sash- 2345) Sash lay in bed. This had been one of the strangest days he'd had in a long time. He wondered what could possibly top it. =^=Lee to Captain Sash, got a few minutes? I've got a few important Marine things to talk to you about.=^= Sash shook his head. He should have known better. Sitting up he tapped his comm badge beside his bed. He knew this had to be something good, this late at night. "Then you'd better come and see me Lt." =^=On my way.=^= Sash got up and found some comfortable clothes to put on. It wouldn't do to meet the MCO in his skivies. He got dressed and had the replicator make a pot of coffee. He put the coffee on the coffee table, poured himself a cup and waited for Lee to arrive. (reply Lee) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate: 2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Captain's Quarters - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 2350) Rich pushed the buzzer, and stepped inside when allowed. The Captain, such as he was, looked exceptionally tired. The smell of coffee filled the room, leaving Rich's mouth dry and forcing his stomach to do slow turns as he considered the sight he had just beheld. He was still fingering his side-arm in a twitchy manner. Death was no stranger to him, he had seen plenty, but rarely did he ever see someone summarily executed.. ~Assuming he executed him. I don't know that.~ HE came to loose attention before the CO could say anything. "Sir, in a roundabout way, I think I'm supposed to be telling you to go find Zach Falthgood and talk to him. He..." he paused for a moment, "Sir, he has a dead body tied up in some quarters. He had a few extra things with him, and he looked.. Haunted... In a way. He left the quarters right after me, said he would be at his own place. It apparently was important. He also wants me to get in contact with Security, he says he is being watched and any use of the Comm, especially from the quarters of Lieutenant Vadhagh, would be traced." Lee fell silent, he didn't know anything concrete, he had come into this blind not fifteen minutes ago and was confused as hell. He waited for Sash, his mind's eye kept returning to the body though. (reply: Sash) (posted by Trout) Day 2 Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Deck 3, Saleke's quarters - Ensign Saleke - 06:30 ) Saleke tapped his combadge after his morning routine was finished. =^= Doctor Kincaid, this is Saleke the new CSO. I would like to speak with you about a recent event if you would have some time this evening. =^= (Reply: CMO Kincaid) =^= Thank you Doctor, would 18:30 be agreeable? =^= (Reply: CMO Kincaid) =^= Very good I will see you then. Goodbye Doctor Kincaid, Saleke out =^= Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS NIMITZ - Officer's quarters - NPC Ensign John Carlton - 0640) John Davis Carlton III was lying upon his bunk trying to ignore the aching in his legs as he considered whether to get up now or put the matter off as long as possible when the combadge he had placed on the ledge beside the bed began to beep, groaning he rolled over to his left and tapped the unit. "Carlton here " =^= Ensign Carlton this is Saleke, I assumed CSO duties last evening and have some questions over a report you filed. Would you meet me in my office at 07:30? =^= He glanced at his chronometer and grimaced. "I'll be there Mr. Saleke though I won't have bells on." =^= Why would you under any circumstances be wearing bells Mr. Carlton? =^= " Just an expression sir, I'll meet you then." =^= Very good, Saleke out. =^= ~ I knew it was a mistake to take that bet when I did it but how often do you get to go head to head against Lance Armstrong in a time trial? ~ He thought of the race in Holosuite 2 the evening before and grinned at how close he had come. ~ If not for that loose gravel I could have taken him, well that and about twenty meters but I still had a good ride. ~ He levered himself to the edge of the bunk and got up stiffly then shuffled to the lavaratory to begin his preparations. Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS NIMITZ - Deck 6, CSO's office - Ensign Saleke - 07:30) Saleke stood up as the chime sounded and said, "Come." The door opened to reveal a young man of about twenty seven years of age with light brown hair and hazel eyes, he stood 5'11" and looked to be very athletic though he was walking somewhat stiffly. "Ensign Carlton reporting in sir." "Thank you Mr. Carlton, please take a seat." "Thank you but if it's all the same to you sir I'd rather stand." As Saleke sat down he glanced at the fellow who was in obvious discomfort. "You should see Dr. Kincaid for your legs, a muscular stimulation unit should work out the stiffness." "I know Mr. Saleke, I was already by sickbay but the Doc was awfully busy this morning and I didn't have time to wait." "Take as much time as you need after this meeting." "Thank you sir, I will." Saleke leaned back and returned the man's look levelly. "I will be direct with you Mr. Carlton, I found your report dated 2406.06.08 on Subspace/Temporal rifts to be incomplete, the Magnetron Polarity and Sub-particulate emissions scans were missing. Do you have an explanation?" "Yes sir," John replied uncomfortably as he wondered why the Vulcan was questioning him on two such peripheral scans. "Standard operating procedure does not call for those scans sir and with all that was going on there was no time to make unnecessary readings." "Mr. Carlton any scans that bring in pertinent information should not be classified as unnecessary. From this day forward standard operating procedure in this department is to make time for any scans that might bring in any information regardless of one's interpretation of whether such information is pertinent or not. Is that clear?" "Yes sir," John said through narrowed eyelids. "The facts are Mr. Carlton that tests run by Chan Kenishi showed that the Anomaly made significant changes in the subatomic structure of matter contained within its environs, thus the readings that were not done would have showed us the vehicle by which those changes were made. The purpose of this department is to give the Captain of this vessel all information that he needs to make an informed and accurate decision and it is up to me to decide what accumulated information should or should not be brought to his attention." "I see." Ensign Carlton stated flatly. "I understand that could not have been forseen but I trust it will not happen again." "No sir it will not." Said the scientist. "Very well you are dismissed Mr. Carlton." As the door shut behind the young scientist he looked back at the office. ~ I saw that lone pip on his collar, an ensign playing at being a CSO. I can't wait to watch him fall on his face. ~ As he walked away his frown turned into a smile. Saleke meanwhile had returned to his reports until 8:00 when he would meet with the Geologist. (Reply: BigWill Kincaid, Any) (Posted by Charles Gatling) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Deck 6, Labs - Ensign Saleke and NPC Geologist Chan Kenishi - 0800) The door opened before Saleke and he walked into the Geology lab. The sample cabinet was against the far wall and extended from floor to ceiling and it was accessed by a small control set upon a panel before it. The sampling equipment including a sonic coring tool, an isotope decay chamber, a mass spectrometer and magnetic reasonance imaging chamber were set neatly in the center of the room and took most of the available working space. The desk complete with computer that would control the testing equipment was to the right in the near corner and had several mineral samples set upon it including a red spectice crystal, dolomite and an ore high in iron. The geologist was sitting at his desk as the Vulcan entered and smiled to see the new CSO in his lab. "Good morning Mr. Saleke." "Good morning Mr. Kenishi, may I see the sample we were discussing yesterday." ~ My he is all business. ~ Thought Chan as he nodded his head, got up from the desk and walked toward the sample cabinet. As he punched in the code Chan sensed the Vulcan move in beside him, the door of the cabinet slid smoothly upward exposing the mineral samples it contained. Waiting for it to clear the Asian then reached in and took out the fist sized meteorite sample and turning, handed it to Saleke. Saleke took the sample and looked at it closely. ~ This piece of material of meteoritic origin could contain much information on a heretofore little understood phenomenon that through some quirk of design or fate might be ready to give up its secrets.~ " Thank you Mr. Kenishi I will take this sample to the High Energy Physics Lab and run some more exhaustive tests on it. You did say you had two more samples did you not?" "Yes sir, there are two more samples of the same composition that are showing the same levels of Neutrino saturation, they are right here." Chan pointed to two smaller samples in a nearby tray. "Very good, I will patch the computers together from the bridge so that you may see the results Mr. Kenishi." "Thank you sir, that will be a delight to watch." Chan's eyes shone as the CSO walked out of the lab. Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Deck 6, High Energy Biophysics Lab - Ensign Saleke and NPC Scientist John Carlton - 08:10) The lab hummed with power as Saleke stepped inside, the lab itself was larger than the previous one and was filled with sensitive instruments designed to break down energy readings, map them and then also possibly reconstruct them for further study. The Superconducting equipment was compact and well placed and the result was a more accomodating lab to visitors. Saleke saw John Carlton and walked toward him, the man spotted him and frowned but walked to meet him. "Yes Mr. Saleke, what can I do for you?" "I have the sample of which I spoke this morning Mr. Carlton. I would like for you to place it in one of the testing chambers and do full spectrum energy absorption and reaction readings on it. I intend to mate the control computer for the test chamber with the one from Mr. Kenishi's lab from the bridge and will study the readings from there. Ensign Carlton took the sample and carried it to a sealed chamber with a door large enough for a man to walk comfortably through and set it beneath a high energy output array, after walking outside he sealed the chamber then activated the array from the computer monitor. After he had done his work Saleke stepped forward and entered the commands that would mate it with the computer monitor on the bridge, a throbbing hum came from the chamber as the array powered up. Making sure the forcefield was also active Saleke stepped back from the controls and nodded at the young scientist. "Thank you Mr. Carlton, I realize I was hard on you this morning but you will also find I recognize exceptional work as well. I hope we will have no more such meetings in the future." John Carlton nodded and looked at the CSO with a little of the same humor he had had when he walked into the office this morning. "Understood Mr. Saleke. By the way isn't hope an emotional response?" Saleke merely looked at the ensign for a moment with an elevated eyebrow before turning and walking unhurridly from the room then made his way to the bridge. Carlton looking after him said. "Gotcha." under his breath with a grin. (Reply: Any) (posted by Charles Gatling) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Sickbay - CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid - 0840) Kinkaid gave most to all of his medical staff including Nurse Janet Sanders a few hours off to deal with personal matters and get refresh from a hectic week except for Kinkaid, himself. He still had a few reports to finish, log, and tend to Hakeswell. Janet told Kinkaid earlier before leaving sickbay that she was going to prepare for him a more peaceful eloquent breakfast in her quarters instead of going to Ten Forward. Kinkaid felt most honored by Janet's generous gesture and agreed to the idea after he completed Hakeswell's medical report. ~ It was times like this that brings a man in my position to drink. ~ Kinkaid thought as he finished up the medical status report on Petty Officer Hakeswell. His shattered rib bone was slowly mending back together. Kinkaid wished that there was something else he could do, but only time will do for now. The sedative Kinkaid administered to Hakeswell still had a few potent hours left to go before there are signs of awareness from the patient. Kinkaid filed his reports and made a final check to make sure everything was alright with Hakeswell and then left sickbay heading for Nurse Janet Sanders' quarters for breakfast. Kinkaid's stomach was grumbling and growling at the same time. Kinkaid rushed to the turbolift before something else on his persons goes for the worst. (Reply, None) (Posted by Nathan M. Williams) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Entering Sickbay - CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid - 0904) The breakfast meal with Janet Sanders was delicious, but short. Kinkaid did not mean to cut their engagement short but sickbay needed him. He needed sickbay. Kinkaid could not stand being away from sickbay for a long period of time unless it was on an away mission or on leave back home on Earth. As Kinkaid entered sickbay, he could sense something was wrong, but could not put his finger on it. Knowing sickbay like the back of his hand, Kinkaid did not see anything out of the ordinary to raise any alert flags. All of the medical equipment and test sample hyposprays were in their appropriate spaces along with the medical tricorders and instruments of surgery seemed to be in their rightful places. Kinkaid thought that to put his mind at ease he should check the biobed area. As he walked over to the section, the adrenaline rush of knowing something bad had occurred was coming into full swing. Kinkaid noticed that Hakeswell's persons seemed to be in awkward position. Kinkaid moved in for a closer examination and found that the body was flipped over onto the stomach frontal area. Kinkaid retrieved his medical tricorder and began scanning for Hakeswell's vitals. The scans showed no live signs. With the activation of the biobed scanners, Kinkaid checked Hakeswell's pulse and breathing manually. There was no pulse or breathing. Kinkaid was starting to lose his mind. Kinkaid step back from the biobed to take a deep breathe to calm his nerves. Without any hesitation, Kinkaid immediately contacted Captain Sash. "Kinkaid to Capt. Sash." (Reply CO, Sash) "Sir, I think you better come down here!" Kinkaid said trying not to lose his cool. (Reply CO, Sash) Kinkaid was just trying to keep the knowledge of what has happen in sickbay down to only to those who needs to know. The captain was the only that needed to know right a way. Kinkaid was not in no way being rude or insubordinate when he replied. " I need your presence alone, Sir!" (Reply CO, Sash) (Posted by Nathan M. Williams) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Bridge- CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0907) =^= Kinkaid to Capt. Sash. =^= "Sash here, go ahead doctor." =^= Sir, I think you better come down here! =^= Kincaid sounded a little stressed. Sash sat up a little straighter as he talked. "Is there a problem. Should I send security?" =^= I need your presence alone, Sir! =^= It was the alone part that really got the captain's attention.He was out of his seat and half way across the bridge before he replied. "I'm on my way doctor, Sash out." Then he looked around, "Ensign Kateb, you have the bridge." (reply Kateb, iyw) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz- Siockbay- CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0910) Sash was running down the corridor. As he approached sickbay he slowed his gait to a quick walk. He entered the room to see the docot looking very worried. As he stepped up to the CMO he noticed that they were not alone. There was someone on a biobed. Sash had also seen enough dead bodies in his time to realize that this man was one more. He turned his gaze back to Kincaid. "What happened here? And who is that man?" (reply Kincaid) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Sickbay - CO - Captain Devan Sash- 0913) "Captain, this is...I mean... this was Petty Officer Hakeswell. According to the ship's manifest, Hakeswell was assigned to the Engineering section." Kinkaid turned and looked at Sash with deep concern in his eyes as the Chief Medical Officer and continued on. Sash's concern was as much that he really didn't recognize the man. He had seen the name on the ships roster, but he had managed to escape actually meeting his captain. "And how did manage to be in sickbay?" "Hakeswell's persons... I mean...body was sedated, sir, due to a shattered rib bone and would have been unable to move on his own with the makeshift brace attached to his side to re-generate the bone that was shattered. When I found him a few moments ago, his body was turned in this current position, which caused the regenerated rib bone to puncture his lung and cause severe hemorrhaging of the main artery to the heart resulting in his drowning in his own blood. Sir, whatever transpired here Hakeswell did not see or feel anything that happened to him." "Well I'm sure that will be a great relief to the crewman," Sash shot out sarcastically. He looked at the PADD the doctor had handed him. He was no doctor, but he did have some extensive emergency medical experience during the wars. Even he could see that there was no way that Hakeswell could have turned over on his own. This was a deliberate act. hakeswell was murdered. ~Great, that's all I need.~ He could tell that the doctor was quite uncomfortable with the situation. He stammered his way through the explainations, but he seemed to be holding something back. There was more to this. "Doctor, how did Hakeswell break his rib," Sash became more insistant. "Why was he here in the first place." He folded his arms looking from the dead body to the doctor, waiting for an adequate response. (reply Kincaid) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Corridor opposite CSO office - SFI/XO - Commander John Wilson - 10:45) "Alpha leader to team one and two, we have a green light," John stated, as the words left his mouth he knew the teams would be racing towards their targets for the take down. Time however was of the essence they only had a 10 minute window. As John began to race towards the location of the first team everything began to click. Everything he had done on the Nimitz had lead up to this point and this conclusion. As his feet pounded the deck plating John swung his left arm up and tapped his com badge. "Wilson to KinKaid, Doctor I have no desire for injuries but be prepared for them," (Reply KinKaid) "What is the status of Hakeswell?" (Reply KinKaid) "I need you to transfer him to security brig if he is safe for moving you will need to contact the ATAC to sort that out. Ms Kateb will be predisposed," John, stated, he knew what he was doing. This was no doubt going to draw out however would want to eliminate Hakeswell for failing his task. It was a dangerous gambit however if it played out then he would have caught who was behind everything. However the other event could be the death of Hakeswell and whoever was attempting to protect him. He was placing several senior officers in danger however he had no choice. "Doc, do me a favour do not take any unnecessary chance!" (Reply KinKaid) (Reply KinKaid, any) (Posted By Richard Bowes) Stardate: 2406.06.21 (USS Nimitz - Main Bridge - CO - Captain Devan Sash- 1315) The tour of the bridge was winding down and there was reallyonly one place left to see. He turned to the central command area and took a step towards it. "Can anyone tell me who sits in these seats?" he asked. One of the children said, "The Command Staff. The Captain, The FO and the Counsellor." "That's right," he smiled. "Have any of you have ever thought about being in Starfleet, and perhaps being a Captain?" Several of them nodded, a little self-conscious. Jennah, who had lived on a starship her entire life, being one of them. Starfleet was her life, and she had seen both the good and the bad. "Not everyone is cut out to be a leader, though." The Klingon boy said. "True, true," Sash replied, "but the great thing aboaut Starfleet is that it gives everyone the opportunity to try. Although some people are not destined to be in command, there is a place in Starfleet for almost everyone. And sometimes, those who didn't realize that they could, find themselves in the position of command." He looked out to see the Klingon boy nodding his approval of his words. The others seemed to be looking at the chair with a mix of awe and wonder. Sash smiled at them. "Would anyone like to see if they would fit in the big chair?" Jennah wiggled back to the back and stayed firmly there. The Klingon boy walked up and took the seat, then a few others tried. Jennah, finally working up the courage, took the seat and looked up at the very tall Sash. Vanyssa was watching her daughter in interest. Jennah giggled and wiggled in the chair. "It is very very comfortable!" She said, a bit startled. Sash chuckled. "Well, I don't get to sit in it too often these days, but when I do, I like to be comfy. You know Jennah," Sash looked at her with surprise, "you look like you belong in that chair." "I do??" Jennah asked, surprised. Her mouth formed an 'o' and she hopped up and ran behind Katie to some chuckling of the bridge crew. "I'm not big enough yet. Or wise enough." The muffled voice could be heard. Sash smiled at her and knelt down. "Come here you. Not yet. But one day you will be. And that's a day I'd like to see." Jennah nodded, feeling a little sad. She took her favorite Captain's hand and came out of hiding. "Did you mean that ?" She asked. It was her strongest ambition to serve in Starfleet like her parents, both her real ones and Vanyssa and David did. She was suddenly not conscious of the other people around her, just Captain Devan, who was there, and who had been so nice to her through out all of this. She remembered how he had fought to find her, and crawled thru the jeffries tubes until he did. He was a good guy, and she cared about him a great deal. Privately she thought he might be as cool as David and Lee were, but that was a pretty far fetched thought. Sash held her hands in one of his and cupped her chin with the other. "If there's one thing you can be certain of," Sash said seriously, "I never say anything if I don't mean it." Then he stood up and looked at the children around him. "Well my friends, I would say that concludes your tour of the bridge. Do you have any more questions?" The children around him all shook there heads no, and Katie stepped forward. "Thank you, Captain. It's been most educational." She said, a twinkle in her eye. With a smile and a wink he nodded at the teacher. "Ms. Troi, it was my pleasure. You have some terrific students and perhaps well see them again some day."
