Captain's Log 

We have finally managed to hobble our way to Starbase Geneva.  It has taken 
us over a month to get here due to a static warp failure in the warp core. 
We have been unable to travel at warp speed for over three weeks.  At one 
point I thought Lt. Zzt would get out and give us a little push.  I would 
have encouraged that idea, if I really thought it would have made a 
difference. 

The bad part about traveling at sub light is that it wears on the crews 
nerves.  Although, we have had plenty to do.  Enign Kateb has kept us all 
busy with scheduled, and unscheduled, emergency drills.  But still, tension 
has been high and morale a little low. 

Now that we are docked at Geneva, and repairs are under way, I hope that 
things will settle down a little.  I have my meeting with Admiral LoDona to 
look forward to, and perhaps a little personal time in my new garden.

(USS Nimitz - Engineering -CO - Captain Devan Sash -0920) 

Sash had grown tired of watching the stars slowly slide by.  He decided to 
see how things were going in engineering,  As he walked through the doorway 
he wasn't so sure that he had made a right decision.  There strange noises 
coming from panels around the warp core, which had been completely shut 
down. 

Now in Sash's opinion, it virtually impossible for a Gerratlian to either 
hide in engineering, nor be able to fit inside one of the panels that was 
being worked on.  However, Zzt  had managed to to work his way inside a 
paanel, and at first Sash did npot notice him.  Perhaps it was his disbelief 
that it was possible that shrouded his vision, but when he finally noticed 
the huge body laying on the floor, wedged into an impossibly small area, he 
had to force himself not to smile. 

Then he noticed the new Engineering officer, Ensign O'Neill hovering around 
his immediate supervisor. 

"How are things going down here Lt., Ensign?" Sash asked. 

(reply Zzt, O'Neill)

Miles looked at Sash and said, "Hello sir. Lt. Zzt was showing me the insides of this panel, when he got stuck in there. I was about to try to get him out of there when you arrived. Other than that, things have been pretty normal, Lt. Zzt was showing me the ropes after the staff meeting, I'm confident I can help repair the Nimitz more effectively now." ~How am I supposed to get a 1,200 lb. Gerratlian out of a small panel, anyway?~ Miles thought.

(USS Nimitz - Bridge - OPS Ensign Kateb - 0925)
 
Onyx was rather happy with the last drill results, they were under the 4 minutes and she wanted to keep them that way. Nakamura had done a good job and she wanted to continue and improve on it. Drill, schedules and unscheduled has been approved by the captain and she put them to good use. Now, they were in a state of readiness and hope it would be enough against what ever they would face.
 
Onyx saw the captain leave but didn't say who should take command till he comes back. She look at Ensign Tannasg, off battle it was his position.
 
"Ensign Tannasg, maybe you should take the command position until the captain comes back."
 
(Reply from Tannasg)
 
"Yes, until he comes back, since he said nothing like naming someone, you have the chair until the FO, CO comes unless we get under attack and there for I'm the one until either comes back."

(USS Nimitz - Sickbay -CMO ? Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid -0950) 

~ Boy, time flies when you are having fun. ~ Kinkaid thought.  It has been 
almost a full month since the mission to rendezvous with Starbase Geneva has 
gone away.  Kinkaid was finalizing his request for repairs to sickbay.  "I 
do not think that there are enough synthetic gauze and band-aid rations the 
replicator can produce to keep sickbay from coming apart." Kinkaid said to 
his chief nurse, Janet Sanders, with a chuckle. 

"Perhaps, we can modify an exoscalpal to wield the wall panels together to 
prevent infection."   Nurse Sanders said trying to humor the doctor. 

"Maybe so, but I did not think so, Janet."   Kinkaid realized what she was 
leading to, but stopped it from going further.  Kinkaid found his nurse's 
comic wit a bit off the deep end to put it mildly.  Kinkaid noticed in his 
office that there was a message flashing on his computer screen and it 
seemed important.  He went to his desk and read the message. 

The message was from the FO, Commander Winters. It said to meet in the 
counselor's office at 1000.  Kinkaid felt confused. He did not understand 
why the counselor's office. Kinkaid asked Nurse Sanders to take charge in 
sickbay until his return and then he exited the area proceeding to the 
turbolift for Deck 8.

(USS Nimitz - Counselor's Office -FO - Commander Vanyssa Winters -1000) 

Vanyssa rang the charm outside of Salahali's officer. They had a 1000 
meeting with the CMO and COUNS to discuss the last  month's slow crawl 
to Geneva and how the crew was holding up. 

Vanyssa came in and took the offered seat, leaning back and looking 
around the Office. Over the last month it had changed from her office, 
to that of the new Counsellor.  Most of her personal items had been 
transferred to her Quarters, and a few to her new office. 

"I see that you've done a lot with the place."  Vanyssa opened the 
conversation.  "I really like the change."  She said, indicating the 
room. 

(reply Salahali) 

Vanyssa looked up as she heard the chime.   "Come in"  She said, as 
Salahali said it also. She blushed the color of her hair. "I'm sorry 
about that, old habits tend to die hard."  She said, smiling at 
Kinkaid. 

After they had gotten their respective refreshments, Vanyssa leaned 
slightly forward, towards the two Ensigns. 

"How are the two of you doing with being department heads?"  She asked, 
genuinely curious. They had both proven their worth over the last 
month. 

(reply Kinkaid, Salahali) 

"I suppose the reason that I called you both here was to discuss how 
the crew have handled the last month's trip to Geneva.  The failure of 
our warp drive has surely had some effect on the morale of the ship."

(USS Nimitz - Counselor's Office -COUNS Ensign Lorenzo Salahali -1001)

Vanyssa rang the charm outside of Salahali's office. They had a 1000 
meeting with the CMO and COUNS to discuss the last month's slow crawl 
to Geneva and how the crew was holding up.

"Come," Lorenzo said as he set down his cup. 
Vanyssa came in.

"Commander, how nice to see you. Please, take a seat," Lorenzo said as he offered Vanyssa a seat.

Vanyssa leaned back and looked round the Office. Over the last month it had changed from her office, to that of the new Counsellor. Most of her personal items had been 
transferred to her Quarters, and a few to her new office.

"I see that you've done a lot with the place." Vanyssa opened the 
conversation. "I really like the change." She said, indicating the 
room.

"Thanks," Lorenzo said. "I find that the beige looks better with a terracotta accent. I'm a bit of a sucker for those kinds of colours," he said, laughing a little.


The chime activated again. "Come in" Lorenzo said, at 
the same time as Vanyssa. She blushed the color of her hair. "I'm sorry about that, old habits tend to die hard." She said, smiling at 
Kinkaid.

After they had gotten their respective refreshments, Vanyssa leaned 
slightly forward, towards the two Ensigns.

"How are the two of you doing with being department heads?" She asked, 
genuinely curious. They had both proven their worth over the last 
month.


"It's been a little wierd," Lorenzo said as he finished his tea. "I'm glad I got to go camping with the rest of the senior crew, it's let me get the chance to know them beyond their profiles," he said as he moved to refresh his beverage.


(reply Kinkaid)


"I suppose the reason that I called you both here was to discuss how 
the crew have handled the last month's trip to Geneva. The failure of 
our warp drive has surely had some effect on the morale of the ship."


"I haven't noticed any serious morale problems, in fact I'd say that people have used the extra time to make friends and get used to their new surroundings," Lorenzo offered, as he waited for Bigwill's contribution.

(Reply Kinkaid)

"What about you? Are you feeling better after what happened?" Lorenzo asked.

(Reply Vanyssa)

"Great," Lorenzo said. "I have to sayt you're definitely looking full of life," He said. "I've had fun  on this ship so far, and it's definitely got a fine crew.

(USS Nimitz - Counselor's Office -CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid -1002) 

Kinkaid preoccupied with the needs of sickbay almost forgot the 1000 hrs 
meeting in the counselor's office with the FO, Commander Winters.  Kinkaid 
chimed in door panel to the office. 

"Come in," a voice said and Kinkaid enters the office. 

Kinkaid walked in and saw that the counselor, Ensign Salahali and the FO, 
Commander Winters were seated and having refreshments as if he came right in 
the middle of the conversation between the two. 

"Greetings, Commander and Counselor," Kinkaid said as he pulled up a chair 
to sit. Vanyssa asked genuinely curious, "How are the two of you doing with being 
department heads?"

Salahali responded first.  Kinkaid listened deeply, as if he was the 
counselor, but clears his mind to answer the FO. 

Kinkaid said, "Well, Commander, it is a challenge and weird at the same 
time.  My medical staff seems to be a little childish when it comes to work, 
but with a little stern gestures I think the childishness has gone away.  
Other than that for me it will take some time to fully get a handle of my 
department."

Vanyssa analyzing the conversation and said, "I suppose the reason that I 
called you both here was to discuss how the crew has handled the last 
month's trip to Geneva.  The failure of our warp drive has surely had some 
effect on the morale of the ship." 

With all of the sickbay issues, Kinkaid could not fully answer Vanyssa, but 
attempted anyway.  "The morale or the current medical status of the crew is 
not that noticeable, but sickbay has its highs and lows due to the personnel 
wanting a bit of home from Starbase Geneva, Commander."

"How are the two of you doing with being department heads?" She asked, 
  genuinely curious. They had both proven their worth over the last 
  month. 

"It's been a little wierd," Lorenzo said as he finished his tea. "I'm 
glad I got to go camping with the rest of the senior crew, it's let me 
get the chance to know them beyond their profiles," he said as he moved 
to refresh his beverage. 



Vanyssa nodded. "It's a good thing that so much crew was brought on 
while we were on Betazed."  She said. "It gave us time to get to know 
each other before crunch time came."  She nodded. "And what of you, 
Ensign?" She asked of Kinkaid. 

(kinkaid, iyw) 

"I suppose the reason that I called you both here was to discuss how 
  the crew have handled the last month's trip to Geneva. The failure of 
our warp drive has surely had some effect on the morale of the ship." 

"I haven't noticed any serious morale problems, in fact I'd say that 
people have used the extra time to make friends and get used to their 
new surroundings," Lorenzo offered, as he waited for Bigwill's 
contribution. 

(Reply Kinkaid) 

Vanyssa nodded.  "With so much new crew that isn't surprising.  What do 
the crew feel about the move to the new Quadrant?  How do they feel 
about the upcoming civil war?"  She asked the two men. 

(reply) 

"What about you? Are you feeling better after what happened?" Lorenzo 
asked. 

"Better."  She said.  "I don't feel as disoriented now, though there 
are still rather large gaps in my memory of the last couple of months.  
Dr. Mias says that they will always be there, but will become less 
disconcerting with time." 

"Great," Lorenzo said. "I have to sayt you're definitely looking full 
of life," He said. "I've had fun? on this ship so far, and it's 
definitely got a fine crew." 

"Yes, she does."  Vanyssa said, with pride. "It always has, even from 
the time that Captain Ktell commanded her."  She settled back in her 
seat. "You two realize that there will very little of the usual 
transferring from ship to ship for promotions with the move?"  She 
said. "There will of course be the possibility to transfer within the 
fleet, but, usually in a starfleet officer's life, they serve on many 
different ships.  And that isn't going to happen.  How do the two of 
you feel about making the Nimitz your home for the foreseeable future?  
That is what I'm worried about..when the crew realizes that they can't 
go back home....  It's going to be bad, I think."

(USS Nimitz - Counselor's Office -CMO - Ensign (sg) BigWill Kinkaid -1006) 

Commander Winters seem to be concern with the current morale and well-being 
of the ship's crew.  Kinkaid was, too, concern himself about the morale of 
the crew as ship's doctor to minimize the number of patients he had in 
sickbay.  Kinkaid listened with his medical frame of mind as Vanyssa gave 
her feelings on the topic.  Then the counselor, Salahali, ask Vanyssa about 
her current well-being status. 

Kinkaid mentally noted that Vanyssa's response to Salahali's question was 
one with exhaustion but not disoriented unlike when she was recovery in 
sickbay, but her healing progress was a miracle in itself.  The works of Dr. 
Riven Mias in Vanyssa's recovery should be documented and commended on the 
highest level.  Vanyssa continued on with the notion that transferring from 
ship to ship for promotions with the move will be very little, but the 
possibility to transfer within the fleet was likely.  Vanyssa further spoke 
on to the effect that this was not going to happen and posed the question to 
Kinkaid and Salahali, "How do two of you feel about making the Nimitz your 
home for the foreseeable future?"

Kinkaid jumped in by saying, "Commander, since coming aboard the Nimitz, 
I've been treated as if I was already part of the family from the beginning. 
  I can?t see myself anywhere else other than on the USS Nimitz, if the 
current leadership sees to keep it that way."

(Reply FO, anyone) 

Kinkaid started to shed a tear when he completed his response.  It was hard 
on Kinkaid to express his true feelings in front of the FO.  Kinkaid got up 
from his seat and walked over to the window to re-gather his thoughts.  The 
ship, as Kinkaid looked out towards the stars, was traveling at a moderate 
speed in space knowing that the Chief engineer was pulling every miracle 
possible to maintain the course and latitude to get the warp engines back 
online.

(USS Nimitz - holodeck - Ensign Jason Dema - 1200)
 
Like every days habit Jason went to the holodeck for some 
workout, but since he was aboared he always practised alone. 
But still, he hoped that one day someone would walk in and 
join him in a little competition of any sport. And so Jason started 
a beach-volleybal program and started to work out for a few hours.
