(USS Mystique, Main Bridge, OPS, Lt (jg) HHril, 1100)
Having been one of the first people to transfer over to the Mystique,
HHril had hoped to have an opportunity to settle in to the new
surroundings. The USS Mystique, Akira Class Starship, Federation
registry number NCC 68125-C, was undeniably a beauty. Her sleek lines
and diminutive size camouflaging the true nature of her design. No
matter how you sliced up an Akira, she was a battleship. Even with the
explorer designation she now carried she could rip apart most any
opponent that happened into her path. Seeing her from a window on the
pass-by while aboard the Steel Talons ran shivers down his spine. He
had been part of the 52nd for some time now. When the split became
evident, he made sure that he went with his fleet. He believed in the
ideals of the Federation. He had to. He had left Romulus with his
family because they were witness to ideals that were not for the
betterment of the populace. He was now faced with a similar situation,
and when the time had come to choose, he had done so without
hesitation. But the time to settle in had not come. Instead, as a
Lieutenant and Chief of Operations aboard his new ship, he had been
responsible for the transfer of most of the crew of the new ship.
He still hadn't really met any of the people he would be working with.
Most of them offered odd looks as they came aboard. Even though
Romulans were in Starfleet, the majority of of the officers coming
aboard had never seen one, let alone served with one. But the fact was
that he was here and they were all working for the same purpose.
So with his quarters still in shambles, and without having met anyone
of the command crew other than the FO, HHril now sat on the bridge.
Many had seen him there, few had spoken to him. Not for lack of
manners, simply because there was too much to do right now. ~Too much
to do.~ he thought to himself as he ran diagnostics on the main
systems of the ship. Sensors, Main Power, Main Computer, Weapons,
Shields (both navigational and defensive), Inertial Stabilizers, one
after another he checked the systems. ~Everything seems to be in
order.~
He had heard the announcement of "Captain on the Bridge", but had not
taken the time to introduce himself. ~Too much to do.~ but a comment
directed at him broke the trance.
"OPS, how long until the transfer of personnel and supplies is
completed?" asked the Captain from her chair in the middle of the
Bridge.
"Transfer of personnel and materials on schedule, Sir!" replied the
Romulan. One of the first times he had addressed his new Captain.
"Projected time to completion approximately 3 hours."
"I'll be in my ready room, if someone needs me." replied the Captain.
"Very good, Sir." HHril was still pre-occupied with the data from his
diagnostics. ~So much to do.~
(USS Mystique, Main Bridge, OPS, Lt (jg) HHril, 1410)
The transfer was complete. The USS Mystique was ready to set out on
its own, under the command of its new Captain and crew. A momentous
occasion for any ship. Final checks were made as the ship prepared to
leave Phoenix.
"Mr.. Dema, please signal the Space Dock for permission to undock."
"As you command... Captain Winters" replied the young Tactical Officer.
He seemed to be familiar to the Captain. They had come from the same
ship after all. "We have clearance, and we're waiting for your
approval."
"Mr.. Hhril, please program in the Departure vector that Phoenix has
given us, and take us out slow, 1/4 Impulse. And mind the other ships
in the area." She said, sounding half-serious and half-silly.
"Aye, Sir." he said with a smile on his face. "Course plotted. Ready
for umbilical separation." With the click of a button the Mystique was
free... running on her own. "Hold on." he said under his breath. The
ship learched forward as the engines engaged. HHril, using this
opportunity to display some piloting skills and shake down the new ship
took what could be called the least direct route through the ships,
marveling at the maneuverability of the 400+M ship. ~Moves like a
dream.~ he thought to himself as he moved undoubtedly too close for the
Captains of the ships he was sliding past. "It's like she is half her
size, Sir." he said, not even trying to hide the amusement in his
voice. "Like a dream."
"Helm, set a course for Geneva and engage at warp 6." said the Captain
as HHril passed by the last of the ships standing in wait of their
departure. "Aye, Sir. Warp factor 6. On your mark."
With that, the USS Mystique was off. Her engines engaged and the ship
thrusted forward into Warp.
"Lieutenant HHril, report." inquired the FO, now sitting in the command
chair.
"All systems functioning within normal parameters, Sir. We are well on
our way."
"Very well. Carry on." replied the FO before opening a comm channel.
"This is the First Officer to all Senior staff. The Captain will be
holding a Senior Staff Briefing at sixteen hundred hours, in the
Briefing room. Belinia out." Closing that channel, he opened another.
"This is the First Officer to all departments. Please report on your
status and current departmental needs and requirements. Belinia out."
Assuming that he meant those that he did not just speak to in person,
HHril continued to monitor the new engines for any fluctuations and
watched the transfer of materials within ship. They were stocked for a
long run, but they were still missing certain... necessities. It would
be a long flight for the ship to Geneva. Generally, 5 days was not
long, but on a skeleton crew, this deep in space... it was long.
"This is the First Officer to all personnel, we are going to test the
cloaking device, this is only a test. All stations report test
readiness."
The suddenness of the order woke HHril from his work. "All systems
report ready, Sir."
"Ensign Dema, deploy the Cloak." Peter stood as the ship entered 'cloak
mode'.
"Ensign, a fifteen minute test should suffice." Peter looked at the
young officer stood before his console. "And I would like a full report
before the Briefing."
HHril sat at his station as the ship raced along under cloak. He had
set a transmitter for the two defiant class vessels to monitor, so that
they would not lose track of them. Within a few minutes of the test
commencing, it was obvious that the signal had been unnecessary. They
were leaking neutronic radiation, and it was giving away their
position. ~Too much to do... not enough time.~

(USS Mystique, Conference Lounge, CO Captain Vanyssa Winters, 1540)
Vanyssa sat in the conference lounge, going over her notes again.
Devan had told her to always go to meetings early, Because the CO had
to be the first one there.
She sighed. It had been a hectic couple of days. She had known when
they had cleared the defensive perimeter. She also knew that in
another day they would lose their escort to fly solo. If an attack was
going to happen, it would happen then. It worried her. She wasn't
sure that the ship was going to be able to hold up in a battle. And
the only battle command experience she had was on a holodeck. She had
some as being part of a team, but suddenly it really just didn't seem
like enough
She looked up about 15 minutes later when Lee came in, breaking her
thoughts. She noticed that a couple of other people were there, and
decided to not comment on the fact that Lee looked like hell. Being
that this appearance had happened in the last five hours or so, Vanyssa
thought that he had some troubles with his marines. She knew all about
those troubles, from her time with David. There were nights that he had
come home looking like hell after he had gotten some new recruits.
A few minutes later, right as the chronometer struck 1600, did the
Ambassador walk in. Vanyssa, looking around the room, hoped that she
was the last one. Anyone else would have to be reprimanded for being
late. And the one thing Vanyssa did not want to have to do is
reprimand her crew for being late. At least, not on the first day. She
looked around, catching each of their eyes as she waited another
minute.
"I want to welcome you all, formally, to the USS Mystique. I am her
Captain, Vanyssa Winters. I want to start this meeting by having
everyone introduce themselves and speak a little about the state of
their departments. I know that I'll be getting all this in a report
later, but for now give me a summary. Who would like to begin ?"

(USS Mystique - Conference Lounge Ensign Jason Dema - 1546)
After reporting about the cloaking device to Peter, Jason went to the
conference room, end remembering the last time, he wanted to do it good
this time, and as he walked in, he saw Vanyssa standing in the room,
looking a bit nervous.
"Hello Captain."

Still considering the events on the bridge earlier and the problems
with the cloak Ketal picked up the PADD which contained his reports and
added his readings from the cloaking trial, after he was finished he
departed from his office to make the staff meeting.
(USS Mystique - Meeting room - CSO Ketal - 1550)
Seeing that the Captain and most of the staff had already arrived Ketal
took a seat and waited for the briefing to begin.

(USS Mystique, Conference Lounge, OPS, Lt (jg) HHril, 1550)
Not wanting to be late for the meeting, HHril motioned for his
replacement to take over at OPS. A meeting of the department, however
depleted it was would be necessary in the coming days. He sat and
watched as the senior staff filed into the room. He had taken a seat
towards the rear of the conference table and had kept, mainly to
himself. He nodded to those who looked in his direction with a smile
on his face, knowing that there may be a mixture of feelings in the
room. Seemingly, like an alarm clock, the Captain began the meeting.
It was 1600.
"I want to welcome you all, formally, to the USS Mystique. I am her
Captain, Vanyssa Winters. I want to start this meeting by having
everyone introduce themselves and speak a little about the state of
their departments. I know that I'll be getting all this in a report
later, but for now give me a summary. Who would like to begin ?"
"I am Lt. Sarouk. Chief Engineering Officer. All ships systems are
operating within established parameters. Data on the recent cloaking
test is still being processed. A final analysis will be forthcoming."
HHril took some notes on the PADD he had brought with him.
"I'm Ensign Jason Dema," stated a rather youngish looking man. "I'll
be your chief Tactical and security officer, so if you have any
trouble, do not hesitate to ask for help."
Jason then turned to Vanyssa.
"All systems are operational when you need them Ma'am."
"I am Lt. Herkimer 78. But please, that is too much of a mouthful, so
call me Herk. I am your pilot for this cruise as the Conn officer. As
for the condition of my station. The ship is moving, and even in a
straight line."
A smile played over the lips of the Romulan. ~A straight line indeed.~
he thought to himself, images of the evasive maneuvers used to get
through the ships around the Space Dock in his mind.
Next came another Vulcan looking man.
"I am Ketal, Chief Science Officer on the Mystique. The reports for
this department are completed and as Sarouk has said we are still in
the process of sorting through all of the information regarding the
cloaking tests though I have a preliminary hypothesis regarding the
energy spike and resultant neutronic radiation released from Cloaking
Dispersal Node 3."
"Major Richard Ian Lee, Marine Commanding Officer." he said in a rather
low town to say the least. "The Marines are all aboard and I've
already started deploying them for training purposes." He nodded his
head towards the young Tactical Chief who had spoke earlier. "We will
want to be talking later." Turning his head towards the captain, he
then said, "Pleasure and Pain is at your disposal, as fully ready as we
can be at this short notice. All our equipment is aboard, the Armory
checks out, and the men are gung-ho."
~Marines.~ He thought to himself. ~They certainly are... eloquent.~
"Lieutenant HHril. OPS." said the young man as he stood up. "I've
been monitoring all functions aboard ship. Everything seems to be
functioning within normal parameters." He shifted in place. "As Cmdr
Belinia, so eloquently put it, OPS is the pulse of the ship. If I can
be of assistance to any one of you, please do not hesitate to contact
me."
With that he took his place.

(USS Mystique, Conference Lounge, CEO, Lt. Sarouk, 1600)
Sarouk walked into the conference room exactly two minuets early.
He looked impassibly at the officers already assembled before moving
over
and taking a seat. He quietly placed a PADD on the table top going over
the results of the cloaking test in his mind. Patiently he waited for
the
meeting to begin.
(Reply Any ITW)
The Captain began the meeting a few seconds after 1600. Sarouk,
still working sub-space mechanics in his head divided his attention to
his
computations and the Captain.
"I want to welcome you all, formally, to the USS Mystique. I am
her Captain, Vanyssa Winters. I want to start this meeting by having
everyone introduce themselves and speak a little about the state of
their departments. I know that I'll be getting all this in a report

Sarouk didn't hesitate and immediately spoke up.
"I am Lt. Sarouk. Chief Engineering Officer. All ships systems
are operating within established parameters. Data on the recent
cloaking
test is still being processed. A final analysis will be forthcoming."
Sarouk's deep voice was completely emotionless as he spoke, his
impassive
gaze sweeping the faces of the other officers committing each one to
memory.

Sergei listened to the other officers introducing themselves, intending
to leave his own introduction until last. Finally, after a huge marine
had introduced himself, Sergei stood up and nodded to everyone around
the table, and then introduced himself in his Russian-accented English.
"Comrades, I am Ensign Sergei Radchenko, your CMO. Pleased to make your
acquaintances. I will be needing to see you all in sickbay on Deck 4
within the next two weeks, just to make sure my records from Starfleet"
Sergei gestured towards the PADD in his hand "are all up to date. I
would just like to say that, as on all Starfleet craft, my office and
our sickbay are always open to everyone, however 'trivial' the reason
may seem. Remember that, comrades," Sergei smiled slightly "as it's a
well known fact that Starfleet officers tend to ignore ailments and
injuries, and quite often work themselves into the ground.It is my job
to ensure you are all functioning at 100%"
Radchenko then sat down and listened to the next officer speak.

(USS Mystique-briefing room(where ever it is)-Ambassador Anastasia
Tar-Thurian-1610)
Ana decided that she would attend the meeting even if it may not been
her place to do so. She wanted to err on the said of ignorance so she
could find out possibly what they were doing at the present time.
She knew that she would be right on time and that her entrance might
cause a stir but that was exactly what she wanted. She had walked up to
the door and when it opened she step just inside then stopped. She
looked over at the Captain and nodded her head then turned to move to
the back of the room.
As she finally gained a position to listen, she waited for the captain
to either continue or begin.

Someone Rich didn't know, a category into which most of the officers
here
fell into, stood up. He was a vulcan, that much was obvious. "I am Lt.
Sarouk. Chief Engineering Officer. All ships systems are operating
within
established parameters. Data on the recent cloaking test is still being

A couple seconds after the CEO sat down, another stood up. "I'm Ensign

Dema, I'll be your chief Tactical and security officer, so if you have
any
trouble, do not hesitate to ask for help."
He turned to the Captain, and said; "All systems are operational when

He was then followed by another, "I am Ketal, Chief Science Officer on

Rich stood up next, his seven foot plus frame forcing the chair to creak
slightly as he stood. "Major Richard Ian Lee, Marine Commanding

said in his typical bass roar. "The Marines are all aboard and I've

Tactical Chief. "We will want to be talking later."

(USS Mystique - Briefing Room - CSO Ketal - 1615)
Ketal had been poring over the reports for the department since sitting
down though he paid close attention as the Captain greeted the
assembled officers, since he felt in no hurry to begin he waited as
Sarouk and Dema stood up and introduced themselves. He had chosen a
seat across from the Captain, FO and the Efrosian Ambassador and was in
quite a good position to note everything that had gone on. The presence
of the Hermat was certainly a novelty, he noted that they were a varied
group that were present today.
He looked with interest at Harper, the young scientist definitely
looked uncomfortable, Ketal wondered what time he had come aboard. ~ No
doubt when Sarouk and I were dealing with the cloaking problems, I
shall have to stop him after the meeting and introduce myself. Lt.
Harper and I have some very parallel interests. ~
After the Hermat spoke up and introduced him/herself Ketal decided the
time was right so he stood up next.
" I am Ketal, Chief Science Officer on the Mystique. The reports for

Peter had listened intently to all the others as they gave their first
reports to the Captain. Peter stood and looked around at those faces he
knew and those he did not. "I am Lieutenant Commander Peter Belinia and
I am the First Officer of the Mystique. Most of you should know me by
now." He said with a smile. He picked up his PADD and scanned it for a
moment.
"Unfortunately I am the bearer of slightly bad news. We are currently
operating at just under Skeleton crew strength, and therefore we need
to work double shifts until we reach Starbase Geneva. I have here the
emergency crew rotations for the shifts. We will be working for 12
hours straight." Peter walked towards the wall terminal to show the
shift rotations.

"I trust that you will all agree to these shifts as we need to cover

excluded you and your men from the shift patterns. I did so because I
felt your abilities to command your men would be diminished somewhat if
you were having to stand on the Bridge for several hours at a time. You
will however be required to report to the Duty Officer regarding your
status and any changes that we should be informed of. These changes
will take effect immediately and you should inform your staff also of
these changes." Peter was still standing by the terminal and brought up
the Away Tem designations.
"Now onto the Away Teams. I have drawn up a list of AT's and I have
staffed them with the appropriate people. Please take a look at the

in any specific way but I may add some crew to it. Epsilon, I will
speak to those on the team in my office at 0900 tomorrow. Major, Theta
is completely under your jurisdiction in regards to the staffing and
whatnot. I do expect to be informed on a regular basis, but you should
keep it as flexible as possible. I'll speak with you tomorrow, after

Jason heard the shifts ~From 0600 till 1800? How is my sister gonna

Then Peter started with the away team allocations, and when he heard
about the first contact team, he was surprised
to hear Vanyssa's name. ~The Captain on a first contact? doesn't the
Captain has to stay on the ship?~ Jason waited
till Peter ended his briefing, and as he saw Peter sitting down he said:
"Any Questions?"
Jason stood up.
"Sir, I don't have problems with the shifts as far as I'm concerned,
but I do have my thoughts about the
away teams, especially the first contact team, isn't the Captain
supposed to stay on board till the area
is declared safe? I believe that is stated in Starfleet protocols."

said.
"You are quite correct Ensign, however, the FC team will only be sent
off-ship once all the security procedures have been implemented.
Starfleet Protocols, which I am glad to see you actually taking note
of, state that 'No officer of flag rank may travel into a potentially
hazardous area without suitable armed escort.' General Order Fifteen.
And that is where the Major comes in, he is more qualified in personal
protection than anyone else on board. Naturally there will be all the
usual protection measures, such as a constant transporter lock, a
Marine contingent on standby, etc.." Peter sat back down in his chair.

"Any Questions?" ended Belinia.
HHril had sat motionless while those with questions or comments spoke,
silently taking notes. ~I'll have to schedule a meeting with the
Cmdr.~ he thought to himself, not wanting to seem confrontational in
front of the entire senior staff. ~Later.~ he thought. ~Not time
right now.~
"Mr.. HHril," the voice of the Captain broke the silence. I believe
that the rest of the crew will be at Geneva waiting on us. Do you have
anything further to report?"
"Sir," began the young Lieutenant. "I believe now is the optimal time
to continue working on the cloaking device. The neutronic radiation
from the test of the cloak flooded whole sections of the hull.
However, due to the low crew numbers, we were able to move everyone out
of the affected areas and clean up the radiation. This would have been
exponentially more difficult had we of had a full crew compliment on
board."
(reply Winters, iyw)
HHril sat quietly for the remainder of the meeting. Continuing to take
notes on various subjects until the end of the meeting.
"I want us at full readiness by 1200 tomorrow." the Captain said as the
meeting drew to a close. "I hope that the attack doesn't come, but we
all know that it will, Starfleet's intelligence is just as good, if not
better, than our own. Any questions ?"
With the dismissal of the meeting, HHril stood and headed for the door.
Based on the crew rotations laid out by Cmdr Belinia, he was on duty
for another 3 hours. ~No time like the present.~ he thought to himself
and headed to his station.
(USS Mystique, Crew Quarters, OPS, Lt (jg) HHril, 1806)
It had not taken long for HHril to leave the bridge. His replacement
had been early to arrive and the switch over was handled smoothly. He
dropped the PADD's he was carrying on the table in the table in the
corner of his quarters. They were a mess. Storage bins and bags all
over the place. A sigh escaped his lips at the thought of the arduous
task before him. ~And I have to be up for Alpha shift in the morning.~
he thought to himself... a rye smile playing on his lips.
He unzipped and removed his jacket, draping it over the back of a chair
and headed to what would be his bedroom. They were good sized
quarters. A living area and separate sleeping area. There was also a
washroom with sonic shower. And he did not have to share with anyone.
~Perks of being part of the senior staff.~
"Computer." he said in commanding voice. The familiar chirp of
recognition from the machine echoed in the undecorated room. "Ocean
sounds, and lights to 3/4's." The noise of running water filled the
room. "Much better." he said aloud to no one in particular as he
approached the replicator. "Chicken Cordon Blue with rice and a wild
mushroom sauce." he said. "Oh... and a raktajino, hot." Living within
the Federation, especially on Earth, had opened up a whole new world of
culinary delights to the young Romulan. Ch'Rihan food was bland... too
bland even for Vulcans. ~I don't know how they do it.~ he thought as
the whir of the replicator produced a plate of food and a drink. He
took it to the table and began to eat, knowing full well that he had a
long night... and even longer day ahead of him... but that was later.
For now, he was alone, in comfortable quarters, with good food and
drink... yes that was much later.

(USS Mystique - Conference room; CO Captain Vanyssa-Winters; 1635)
Vanyssa had kept silent through most of the meeting. She enjoyed
watching her crew, and saw several places there could possibly be
personality conflicts.
She listened to her FO talk about away team missions and the such. She
listened to the couple of questions, and watched the body language of
those in the room, more than she listened to them. She was tired,
emotionally very tired.
She chimed up, "Mr.. Hhril, I believe that the rest of the crew will be
at Geneva waiting on us. Do you have anything further to report ?"
(reply Hhril)
"Mr.. Sarouk and Mr.. Ketal, I would like the two of you to continue
working on the cloak. The escort peels away tomorrow at 1200, so we
need to do a test at 0400 or so to give us time to fix any problems
that come up. Liaison with the escort's science and engineering
departments as needed."
(reply sarouk and Ketal)
"Mr.. Dema and Mr.. Keswick, when that Escort peels away, we are going
to be very vulnerable and the intelligence says we will expect an
attack. Please test all the weapons systems before 0600 tomorrow, and
get me a full report on them."
(reply dema and keswick)
"Mr.. Radchenko, we will be picking up Dr. Weir, a medical officer and
Dr. Mias, this afternoon when their shuttle rendezvous with us in the
next couple of hours. Please bring them up to speed when they arrive.
Also I need the report on your supplies - also forward it to Mr..
Hhril, to be sent on to Geneva." Vanyssa thought for a moment. "Also,
please schedule time with each of the crew to do a full physical."
(reply Radchenko)
Vanyssa looked down at her PADD. "Also aboard that shuttle, will be
Ensign Tourana, Lt. Herk. She will be in charge of flight control.
Please familiarize her with the various shuttle craft and external
ships we have on the flight deck."
(reply Lt. Herk)
"And lastly, Dr. Harper. Please see to the various labs and their
readiness while Mr.. Ketal helps Lt. Sarouk with the cloak. Then feel
free to return to your research." Vanyssa turned to her Ambassador.
"Ambassador, when this battle comes, I would like you on the bridge,
also. I would rather talk our way out of a conflict than fight it."
(reply Harper or the Ambassador)
"Mr.. Lee, being that we may have to fight, keep your marines on
standby. I don't plan to let them try to board this ship, but we all
know what can happen." He understood what she was talking about. The
Nimitz had been through several boarding parties in the past.
Vanyssa looked around the room, at her crew. She caught each of their
eyes. "I want us at full readiness by 1200 tomorrow. I hope that the
attack doesn't come, but we all know that it will, Starfleet's
intelligence is just as good, if not better, than our own. Any
questions ?" She asked. This was a good crew, she was quite proud of
it.

(USS Mystique - Conference room; Ens Jason Dema; 1639)
The Captain was talking about the duties for tomorrow, and turned to
him and his assistant Keswick.
"Mr.. Dema and Mr.. Keswick, when that Escort peels away, we are going
to
be very vulnerable and the intelligence says we will expect an attack.
Please test all the weapons systems before 0600 tomorrow, and get me a
full report on them."
Jason stood up.
"Yes Sir, it will be done"
And then Peter continued briefing the rest of the crew. After he was
finished Vanyssa took over, Jason
noticed she was looking everyone in the eyes, also his, and as a
reaction he turned his away, looking
to his PADD with personal notes without reason.
"I want us at full readiness by 1200 tomorrow. I hope that the attack
doesn't come, but we all know
that it will, Starfleet's intelligence is just as good, if not better,
than our own. Any questions ?"
Jason wanting to say something in reply, looked from under his eyebrow,
and sighed, but didn't say anything.

(USS Mystique - Conference room- Con- Lt. Herkimer 78- 1642)
Herk watched the group as each person spoke, putting their names and
faces
together. Then s/he began to out hir attention on the captain. S/he
the
Captain Winters was a very astute observer. She watched the others as
they
spoke, very carefully. Herk wondered what was going through the
captain's
mind. Finally she stood to address the crew.
"Mr.. Hhril, I believe that the rest of the crew will be at Geneva
waiting on
us. Do you have anything further to report ?"
Winters went round the table giving out orders, and preparing for the
loss
of their escort. Although the ship had been given a "technical"
shakedown,
Herk was not at the helm at the time, and s/he wanted to see what this
Akira
class was made of.
"Also," Winters continued, "aboard that shuttle, will be Ensign
Tourana, Lt.
Herk. She will be in charge of flight control. Please familiarize her
with
the various shuttle craft and external ships we have on the flight
deck."
Herk nodded to the captain. "She will know all that I can pour into her
brain in a short time."
"I want us at full readiness by 1200 tomorrow. I hope that the
attack doesn't come, but we all know that it will, Starfleet's
intelligence is just as good, if not better, than our own. Any
questions ?" She asked. This was a good crew, she was quite proud of
it.
Herk looked around the table. S/he only wanted to know when s/he could
get
at the helm. As the meeting closed Herk went to get all the data s?he
would
need to fill in the Flight Ops coming in.

Radchenko listened to the First Officer and noted his shifts on his
PADD.
Then the Captain gave a short speech and turned to each officer
individually.
"Mr.. Radchenko, we will be picking up Dr. Weir, a medical officer and
Dr. Mias, this afternoon when their shuttle rendezvous with us in the
next couple of hours. Please bring them up to speed when they arrive.
Also I need the report on your supplies - also forward it to Mr.. Hhril,

Radchenko nodded. "Consider it done, Ma'am".

(USS Mystique - Conference room - Ambassador Anastasia Tar-Thurian 1650)
Ana had been listening to what everyone had to say and including the
First Officer with his Emergency Shift rotation schedule and the Away
Team Allocations. She was happy that he had mentioned that she would
be on the first contact alpha team. She would be on at any time that
there was to be any contact with another race. She also thought that
it would be good if she would be on the bridge when they were in
contact with any other of the known races.
Ana was having a grand time seeing how a starship actually functioned
and how duties where meaded out to the various departments or crew when
the captain had turned her attention to her.
"Ambassador, when this battle comes, I would like you on the bridge,
also. I would rather talk our way out of a conflict than fight it."
"I think that would be best and I hope we can avoid most if not all
battles as I detest battles. If we can not talk our way out, then it
is up to you to do what it is that you are best at." Ana replied to
the captain. She thought that most starship captains rather fight than
talk and she was going to find out what this captain would do soon
probably.

(USS Mystique - Briefing Room - CSO Ketal - 16:53)
Ketal waited patiently as the FO went exhaustively over the shifts and
Away teams, since he could go for 36 hours straight for short periods
the extra shift wasn't too much of a problem and the radiation leak was
of the highest priority. When the reports were completed Ketal looked
at Vanyssa as she spoke up, she had been quite obviously weighing each
member of her staff during the time the reports were being made.
~ Good, she is going to make quite a good leader I believe. She has
many of the skills necessary. ~ And when she spoke her voice had none
of the nervousness he had seen
earlier on the bridge.
"Mr. Hhril, I believe that the rest of the crew will be at Geneva
waiting on us. Do you have anything further to report ?"
"Sir," Said the Romulan. "I believe now is the optimal time to
continue working on the cloaking device. The neutronic radiation from
the test of the cloak flooded whole sections of the hull. However, due
to the low crew numbers, we were able to move everyone out of the
affected areas and clean up the radiation. This would have been
exponentially more difficult had we of had a full crew compliment on
board."
That the neutronic radiation had penetrated some areas of the ship only
made him more sure that his original findings were correct and with
Sarouk's help he was sure they could get it repaired quickly.
"Mr. Sarouk and Mr. Ketal, I would like the two of you to continue
working on the cloak. The escort peels away tomorrow at 1200, so we
need to do a test at 0400 or so to give us time to fix any problems
that come up. Liason with the escort's science and engineering
departments as needed."
"Yes Captain, it shall be done." Ketal answered.Since she wanted a test
of the cloaking device at 0400 that would make him being up for 22
hours straight minimum which was well within his tolerance and would
give him plenty of rest before his next shift.
As the Captain gave everyone their orders Ketal considered his own
future; a large part of the reason he had asked for this assignment
besides the fact that he wanted to make sure that the technologies
could work together seemlessly was that he wished not only to serve
with an old friend but he also wished to help ease her way into her
first command. Since she was settling easily into her role and if her
senior staff proved to be as competent as they appeared then he would
not be needed long term. ~ I am sure I will be able to find another
research facility that could use my services after this short term
exploratory mission is over unless we are in a full scale civil war in
which case I will have to see it through at this station of course. ~
It was at that point that she caught his eyes as well as everyone
else's and said.
"I want us at full readiness by 1200 tomorrow. I hope that the attack
doesn't come, but we all know that it will, Starfleet's intelligence
is just as good, if not better, than our own. Any questions ?"
"No questions Captain." Ketal replied as he heard the Tac/Sec Chief
sigh which caused Ketal to look over at the young man whom he saw
looking down in some apparent distress.

"Ensign Keswick, I'll be joining you tomorrow morning at 0300 for the
test of the weapons."

"See you tomorrow-morning then."
Jason then left the room and made his way to his quarters.

(USS Mystique - CMO's Office, Ensign Radchenko - 1725)
Sergei Radchenko viewed his new office again.
It was small, very small. It had a desk and a terminal, and maybe
enough space for 2 or 3 people.
It was perfect.
Sergei smiled. ~This is a working office. Not a 'show' office.~
He looked down at his terminal again, to finish his list. It was a list
of supplies needed from Geneva. He had to admit, he'd stretched the
meaning of 'needed' to the limit. The Sickbay and labs seemed to be
reasonably well-stocked, but he didn't want to get 'caught-short' so he
needed back-up supplies.
He finished his list, and sent it to both the Captains and the OPP's
Chief. a Romulan named Hhril. The list was simple and to the point. It
read;
Greetings Sirs,
Here is the list of medical supplies needed. Most of them are
back-ups and spares, but I don't want to be in a predicament when
anything 'hot' happens. The Extra Neural Scanner I could get by
without, but it could come in handy.
Et Voilavski;
Physio Stimulators, an extra 4
Set of Subdermal scalpels
1 cubic litre of Leporazine
One extra Dermal Regenerator
Two extra Defibrillators
At least 3 extra Cannisters of Tricordrazine
Two additional sets of Exoscalpels
4 trays of mixed/varied Endorphins
Any amount of Inaprovaline the Geneva can spare
Most importantly of all;
Three extra Medical Tricorders
One extra Neural Imaging Scanner (I know I'm pushing it on this one,
some of them are hefty - but I really want one in storage - you know
what can happen with a broadside or a power surge)
At least another 8 Hyposprays (As all Med Officers will tell you -
there's simply never enough Hypo's)
3 Tanks of Kayolane (I'm not using Melorazine on the wounded or
children, the side-effects aren't nice. Call me old-fashioned, but I'd
rather stick with 'K')
+4 Medical "Away Team" kits. We have 3 here, plus (I gather) another 2
in the Marines storage. If teams come back the kits have to be
overhauled and sterilised, limiting our ability to send out more away
teams immediately after first teams have come back
Kind regards ,
Ensign Sergei Radchenko
Nevrilostskia k Starfleet, Mishenov Starfleet komrads !
Sergei sent his note to the terminals of the Captain and the OPPs
officer. He would have rather gone to see them with his list on a PADD,
but things we're really busy. He hoped they'd understand.
He sat back on his chair, relaxing for a quick minute, and breathed out.
~Busy busy by Baba Yaga, that is good komrad Radchenko~
He didn't get to relax for the full minute.........

(USS Mystique - Deck 3, Cloaking node 3 - CSO Saleke - 18:00)
Saleke ran the technician's diagnostic toll over the plasma coil with
all the skill and patience of long term experience, as he neared the
coil's dispersion router for the energy supply of the node area the
whine of the diagnostic device began to change almost imperceptably.
Ketal then scanned the router for several seconds, back and forth in
arcs until he was satisfied then settled back on his heels. ~ Just what
I thought I would find ~
He tapped his combadge. "Chief Sarouk the router that governs the power
supply for Cloaking node three is weak as I deduced and will have to be
replaced. Please send up one of your engineering officers to help me
drain off any residual energy and replace the router."
(Reply: CEO Sarouk)
Having notified the CEO of his findings to date Ketal then began
checking the Cloaking Field Generator Coil in the node for any damage
caused by the power spike. It took several minutes of cautious and
intensive searching before he was satisfied that the generator coil was
whole and sound. It was fortunate that the area had been cleared so
quickly, Mr HHril and his decontamination teams had been efficient and
thorough. Twenty more minutes of searching the area yielded no more in
the way of damaged or faulty components so he checked his chronometer,
it was 18:40. He settled back to wait for the part and as he did he
tapped his combadge again.
"Captain Winters this is Ketal, we will be replacing the plasma coil
dispersion router at the Cloaking node three area at 19:00, it will
take approximately 23 minutes to drain residual energy and replace the
device. During that time power will be interrupted to deck three
starboard side. I will present a full report upon my findings as soon
as the repairs are finished, Ketal out."

After his duty, Jason went to his quarters, where his sister was
allready waiting for him.
"Brother." She yelled, and ran to him and jumped, Jason scared the hell
out of himself, and nearly missed her, but he did correct himself and
managed to keep hold of her.
"You little rascal, hey, I have an idea, what do you think it, if we go
to the holodeck, play some volleyball for an hour and head for dinner
in the messhall after that?"
"What? only an hour? are you getting old?"
Jason laughed with that remark, he forgot about how she was full of
energy, she would play 5 hours if she had the chance, maybe even
longer.
"Okay, we'll go for 2 hours, and then dinner."
"Fine." Cassandra was a bit dissapointed in the short playing time, but
realised that Jason was a bit tired, so she went along with the idea.
(USS Mystique - Holodeck - Ensign Jason Dema and Cassandra Dema - 2030)
The match was over, Jason and Cassandra won the match but the were
tired as hell, so they took a shower at the beach, and then exited the
holodeck and made their way to the messhall.
(USS Mystique - Messhall - Ensign Jason Dema and Cassandra Dema - 2050)
They arrived at the messhall, looked around and took place at the
window. Jason ordered him a simple steak and salad, he only ate food to
earth standarts, so did Cassandra. as they started to eat, Jason yawned
a few times.
"Are you tired?" Cassabdra asked.
"No.... I mean yes, I'm very tired, it's been a long day at work, and
tomorrow I'll have to wake up very early so we'll have to skip our
morning workout."
As Cassandra heard the news her face stopped smiling and turned a bit
dissapointed.
"Really? aww man, no fair."
"That's not all of it, I'll have to do 12 hour shifts untill we arrive
at Geneva, so I'l be working from 0600 till 1800 for the next days, but
if you want, then we'll work out at 0400 strting the day after
tomorrow."
"0400? that's early." Cassandra thought about it for a moment. "Okay,
fine, 0400 it is."
"It's settled then."
they finished their dinner further and sat there watching at the stars
(reply anyone if they want)
NRPG: for people that wanna join, feel free to do so.
Then they stood up and went to their quarters.
(USS Mystique - quarters - Ensign Jason Dema and Cassandra Dema - 2140)
As they entered their room, Jason sat down on the bed and Cassandra
went to the bathroom, and when Cassandra came back out she saw that
Jason allready fell asleep, so she put the blanket over him, tucked him
in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight brother." She said, and with that she went to sleep also
next to him.
