Mytraining officer was lieutenant Steele, under Admiral Willoughby." Ensign Lanneyreplied,"However, I would like it on record that it was my own foolishness and not a failureof mytraining officer that led to my outburst." "So noted," Eva replied, "In the future, you will do well to keep your emotionsunder control while on my bridge. Understood?" Eva motioned for the PADD theEnsign washolding as she finished speaking. "I understand ma'am," Ensign Lanney said handing her the PADD. Eva took the PADD and quickly read the orders contained within. ~Yet anotherACSO. At least the Science Department won't be short handed.~ She thought as sheenteredher access code into the PADD, acknowledging that the Ensign had arrived on board andreported in. "The hour is late Ensign and we are a few hours away from arriving at ourdestination," She said, "Take some time and get settled into your quarters. I willsendword to Lt. Nicolae, our First Officer, of your arrival. You may also want to meetwithEnsign Wolfkowski, who has been heading up the Science department of late with thedeparture of our last Chief Science Officer. The Science department has been shorthandedof late so you will be thrown into the thick of it from day one. I hope you are upto thechallenge. You will find the mission brief in the ship library computer. I suggestyoureview it.

He walked from the room and checked the consoleopposite for his quarters.Finding the location he set off at a gentle pace in that direction, takingthe time to remember the route and locations passed.(USS Gannicus - Deck 2, outside FO's Office - FO/CMO Lt Mil Nicola - 22:53)Sipping his tea Mil had relaxed a little when the door chime went. Boltingupright Mil called out."Enter"The Ensign, walked in and stood to attention, Mil smiled a little at therigidness."You asked to see me, sir?" Alyl said."I did Ensign, sit down before you pull a muscle" Mil waved his hand toone of the two empty seats infront of the desk.(Reply Alyl)Whilst the Ensign sat Mil looked down at the rosta and noticed another newname. ~ejit~"Bear with me a moment please Ensign" Mil said tapping his badge."Nicolae to Vesper"(Reply Vesper)"Report to my office please LT"(Reply Vesper)Mil nodded at Alyl, mainly to show that he hadnt forgotten him."Nicolae to Ensign Lanney, report to the first officers office please"(Replt Lanney)Mil turned back to Alyl "So Ensign, how have you settled in?"(USS Gannicus - Deck 2, FO's Office - ACSO Ensign (jg) Jaton Alyl - 22:54)"You asked to see me, sir?" Alyl said."I did Ensign, sit down before you pull a muscle." Commander Nicolaewaved his hand to one of the two empty seats in front of the desk."Thank you, sir." Jaton sat down in the chair indicated to him,adjusted his uniform to keep it straight, and crossed his legs in avery proper way."Bear with me a moment please Ensign," the FO said, tapping his badge."Nicolae to Vesper."=/\=Go ahead.=/\="Report to my office please, lieutenant."=/\=On my way.=/\=Nicolae's communicator beeped again, indicating that the channel hadbeen closed. He nodded at Jaton, mainly to show that he hadntforgotten him. Jaton curtly nodded back. He could only imagine howbusy a first officer's life could be."Nicolae to Ensign Lanney, report to the first officer's office please."=/\=Lanney here, I'm on my way sir.=/\=The channel was closed, and the FO turned back to Jaton again. "SoEnsign, how have you settled in?"Jaton nodded slightly, to indicate his positive impressions of theship so far. "So far so good, sir. I only arrived an hour or so ago,so it'll be a while before I'm totally familiar with everything, butit seems that there's never a dull moment around here. Happy to behere, sir."(USS Gannicus - Vespers Quarters - LT Ashley Vesper - 2255)=/\= Nicolae to Vesper =/\=Ash paused the music she was playing as she rested back in a chair. A small groanescaped her as she sat upright, "Go ahead"=/\= Report to my office please LT =/\="On my way," she closed the channel and stood facing a mirror before leaving.Looking into it she quickly fixed her uniform and hair before leaving. It was arelatively short walk to the office and she chimed the door.NRPG: Space from your conversation in your office(Reply Mil)She moved in seeing the other crewmen and stood to one side, "Sir." Her eyes dottedround the room a little looking to see if anything had changed from her last timethere.(USS Gannicus - Deck 2, FO's Office - ACSO Ensign (jg) Jaton Alyl - 22:59)"So far so good, sir. I only arrived an hour or so ago, so it'll be a while before I'm totally familiar with everything, but it seems that there's never a dull moment around here. Happy to be here, sir."Nicolae nodded as Jaton spoke, pleased with his answer. I m glad," he said. "It s never easy on a first appointment; especially arriving at the start of a mission and getting thrown into things. Help yourself to adrink Ensign.""Thank you, sir," Jaton replied, nodding gratefully as he walked over to the replicator. "Ayran. Cold."A glass shimmered into existence, filled to the brim with the deliciously savoury white liquid. He grabbed the glass, walked back to his seat, and took a sip as he sat back down. As he did, the door chimed. Jaton looked behind him to see who it was. It was Vesper, the first friend he had made on the Gannicus. Vesper and Nicolae exchanged pleasantries, and she went over to get herself a drink.As she did, the door chimed again. In walked a fresh-faced redheaded human male who seemed somewhat familiar to Jaton."Ensign Lanney reporting sir."~Lanney. Lanney, where have I heard that name before?~ Jaton pondered this question, sifting both through Alyl's memories and his own. Within a few minutes he found his answer.~Adrian Lanney! Of course! My old organic chemistry partner!~The First Officer's voice shook Jaton out of his memories. Ensign Alyl if you cared to join us.""Of course, sir," Jaton said. He walked over to the couch and sat down on the end next to Lanney. He placed down his glass of ayran, and looked at Lanney."Good to see you again, Adrian," he said.(reply Lanney)NRPG: I figure since both Jaton and Adrian are newly graduated from the Academy and both studied science, they'd know each other at least in passing.RPG:Jaton turned his attention back towards the FO as he began addressing the three of them. So, I hope you ve all settled in and found your quarters? "Only just, sir. I was in the beginning of unpacking. But give me a few days and it'll feel like home."(reply Vesper, Lanney) I m Lt Nicolae, first officer and Chief Medical Officer and I m sorry tocall you so late. I m conscious that when the ship arrives at our mission it will be early and I wont have a properchance to say hello. Jaton listened as the First Officer introduced himself, nursing his drink as he did.(reply Vesper, Lanney IYW) I m sure the captain has mentioned our mission but I want to ensureyou re all up to speed." Nicolae walked over to his desk, and grabbed three PADDs. Coming back over, he handed a PADD to each officer. Jaton scrolled through the information on the PADD as Nicolae continued to talk. We have been called to investigate the scientific outpost at Sigma ThetaV; the team have missed their report times and are failing to answer anycommunications. In their last report they mentioned a discovery of someancient ruins but failed to expand on this. Our mission is to find outwhat has happened and lend any support we can. I have already chosen the away team but will move Lt Vesper to support."Jaton listened, slightly crestfallen that he wouldn't be going down to the planet. Not that it didn't make perfect sense; were he a commander Jaton wouldn't place a fresh faced ensign on an away team on his first mission out of the Academy either. But still the thought crossed his mind. Or rather Alyl's mind. The symbiont was itching for action. It only made Jaton more sure that Alyl thought of him as sort of a test drive. But the Guardians told him that feeling would pass after about a decade. You both will be required to support the away teams from the ship,analyzing the data we have and the data we send from the planet. One ofthe things that was picked up from the training mission was the shortranged vision the teams had, limited time to read the scans and limitedtime to react; had it been a real mission I doubt we would have fought off the attacks we did. So I need you both to be familiar with the specs ofthe out post and whatever data Ensign Wolfkowski has found to give us the best possible chance of finding the missing scientists. Its going to behard considering you re new to the ship and the systems, which is why iwanted to give you as bigger heads up as i could. Does that make sense? "Perfectly, sir," Jaton said. "But I'm not quite familiar with Sigma Theta V. What is causing the low visibility? Do we need to worry about seismic activity?"(USS Gannicus, First officers office, ACSO Ensign(JG) Adrian Lanney, 2301)"Ensign Alyl if you cared to join us.""Of course, sir," Jaton said. He walked over to the couch and sat down onthe end next to Adrian."Good to see you again, Adrian," he said."You too Alyl. It feels like ages since we last spoke. I said we didn'tneed to worry about that test." Adrian replied, happy to see a familiarface.The two ensign's turned as Nicolae began talking. So, I hope you ve all settled in and found your quarters? "Only just, sir. I was in the beginning of unpacking. But give me a fewdays and it'll feel like home." Jaton replied"I was almost there when I was called here sir. The computer said I was inthe right corridor anyway." Adrian said with a smile.(Reply Vesper, Alyl, Nicolae) I m Lt Nicolae, first officer and Chief Medical Officer and I m sorry tocall you so late. I m conscious that when the ship arrives at our missionit will be early and I wont have a proper chance to say hello. Adrian nodded, realizing that meant he would probably be on duty early.~I need to remember to check the shift roster.~ I m sure the captain has mentioned our mission but I want to ensureyou re all up to speed." Nicolae walked over to his desk, and grabbed threePADDs. Coming back over, he handed a PADD to each officer. Adrian glancedat the outline section to get the summary points, the rest he would readlater when he could make notes on it. We have been called to investigate the scientific outpost at Sigma ThetaV; the team have missed their report times and are failing to answer anycommunications. In their last report they mentioned a discovery of someancient ruins but failed to expand on this. Our mission is to find outwhat has happened and lend any support we can. I have already chosen theaway team but will move Lt Vesper to support."Adrian noted the slight look of disappointment on Alyl's face, and realisedhe felt the same way. He realised that it was a logical move though andtried to keep his face neutral. You both will be required to support the away teams from the ship,analyzing the data we have and the data we send from the planet.

"But I'm not quite familiar with Sigma ThetaV. What is causing the low visibility? Do we need to worry about seismicactivity?""Its a fairly simple procedure to map the plate movements. It shouldn'ttake more than half an hour to have an accurate prediction of any immediateactivity. Im willing to volenteer for it sir," Adrian said eagerly, wantingto have an input in the mission from the start.(USS Gannicus, First officers office, FO/CMO Lt Mil Nicolae, 2302)"Perfectly, sir," Jaton said.

It shouldn'ttake more than half an hour to have an accurate prediction of anyimmediate activity. I m willing to volunteer for it sir," Lanney eagerlyspokeMil had gotten the response he expected from both the new officers, whilstthe science department was full; it was useful for this mission. Partly Mil said picking up a PADD and activating the screen behind hisdesk, he didn t move to it, he was too tired to move. We are looking at an ice planet, the computer has predicted it may be inthe middle of a season of snow showers which reduce visibility to aroundtwo meters. The equipment we had been to lengthen the visibility to allowus to see around the landing position. This didn t happen as we expected,leaving us to the mercy of the elements and the local wildlife. TheGannicus s sensors can cut through the interference from the showers, sowe need you to be our eyes, transferring the data to our tricorders and ifneeds be literally guiding us. Along with checking any planetary activity,you also need to ensure the ship keeps a transport lock on us Mil took a drink Questions? (Reply all)Mil nodded as he listened, sipping more of this tea."Perfectly, sir," Jaton said. "But I'm not quite familiar with Sigma Theta V. What is causing the low visibility? Do we need to worry about seismic activity?""Its a fairly simple procedure to map the plate movements.

Along with checking any planetary activity, you also need to ensure the ship keeps a transport lock on us. Questions? Jaton listened, and took a sip from his glass of ayran again. "No questions at the moment, sir. It makes sense so far. And I suppose any volcanic activity in the vicinity would exacerbate the visibility issue. I can work with Lieutenant Vesper, with her permission, to create an algorithm to help transmit the data more accurately. And also a function to put on the tricorders should you lose contact with the ship. Something based on old style sonar or echolocation perhaps?"(USS Gannicus - Deck 2, FO's Office - LT Ashley Vesper - 2304)Jaton listened, and took a sip from his glass of ayran again.

You know, F. U. N.~Listening to everything Ash looked up and over to Jaton, "More than welcome to trybefore I need to beam down with the away team. I think the issue will be more how tolet us on the planet know were we all are without having to do to much fumbling orlooking around. It might be worthwhile taking down some extra pattern enhancers or asub orbital relay to boost the communications?" She shrugged her shoulders someputting her thoughts on the table.(reply Jaton, any) Ash glanced back to Mil and raised her eyebrow, "If its as bad as your saying planetside it should be difficult to preform any engineering tasks let alone precisionones. Im not sure how your simulation showed them up but im pretty sure numb fingersand big gloves don't leave a lot of wiggle room on circuitry. It might be best tokeep these tasks in rotation to keep people from making mistakes."(reply Mil, any)"Of course," she replied moving back a bit signalling that she had no further input. (reply any)(posted by Adam)(USS Gannicus - Deck 2, FO's Office  LT Mil Nicolae - 2306)Mil listened to the ideas bounce around the room, he was glad that a latenight meeting had taken place, eventually he was pulled into theconversation."If its as bad as your saying planet side it should be difficult toperform any engineering tasks let alone precision ones.

"Of course," Vesper answered sitting back.Mil looked around the room,  Right, its late and we all have an earlystart Ensigns, I will see you on the bridge at 0630 to start your firstshift you have until then to sleep and formulate a plan, Mr Wolfkowskiwill probably be asleep but no doubt will be an early riser.

Her mind cast back not really remembering anreason that she would be expecting an apology.

He startedto mentally goover the day's events and winced when he remembered the gaff innotrecognizing the First Officer's voice during the final event of theholomission. ~Boy that sure was dumb.~While shaking his head in disbelief andBill's eyes rested on the picture of hismother. She always seemedto have that mocking smile and right now Bill felt she wastauntinghim about his blunder. Wolfkowski looked away and yawned. ~I done a lot of good things today sodon't dwell on the negative.~He stretched out on the bed. Computer...lights out! The room went dark and Bill promptlyfell into the abyss of a deep sleep. His eyesstarted moving rapidlyback and forth as REM sleep took hold. Wolfkowski's dreamstarted totake shape and he could see the First Officer sitting in a chair inhisoffice and his reply to Bill's proposal for a holomission on SigmaTheta V. You're right in what you're saying,however, being prepared is more than knowing thelay out of abuilding.... Suddenly Lt Nicolae's voice contortedinto a shrill sarcastic female voice. The facemorphed into hismother's. You imbecile! Why are you trying tobe something your not? I told you time and timeagain you belong onEarth, in Michigan with your brothers working in the shuttlecraftfactory. Why do you think your different? You are not smart enoughfor anythingelse except working in a factory like your brothers andfather. Bill's mother then mocking laughed athim. Then his oldest sister appeared. Shetoo had a taunting look as she learned of Billgetting a job as asecond mate on the freighter Gemini. She began to speak. If Bill doesn't want to be a part ofthis family. Well, I can arrange that. Wolfkowski eyes flew open and he slowlyregained consciousness. Rubbing his eyes hesaid. Computerlights to 10 percent. Wolfkowski could clearly see his deskand his mother's picture in the dimly lit room.He got up and placedthe picture face down.~I'll prove you wrong mother.

The atmosphere seems thicker than what we have on record; too thick for a planet this young. It makes me think that there has recently been a major outgassing event. That would explain the lack of other geologic activity. What's the atmospheric composition?"(reply Lanney)Jaton nodded.

He stood and walked over to the First Officer, who was sitting to the right of the captain."Lieutenant Nicolae, Captain Straton."(reply Nicolae, Straton)"Ensign Lanney and I believe that the storms we have been monitoring may have been intensified by recent volcanic outgassing on the planet's surface.

Sheglanced towards Jonas and shook her head as was looking down towards his bootsquestioningly.(Reply all)(Posted by Adam)(USS Gannicus, Transporter Room 1, ACSO Ens Bill Wolfkowski, 0800)The First Officer continued the brief after being put down by Zzt."You will all need to ensure your tricorders have been updated. Our new science teamhave added a hypersonic pulse function to them. If we loose contact with the shipyou can activate it and it will build a map of the area for us. When we beam down,if we are out side the station, the same tasks apply.

Bill looked at Nicolae andasked."Sir, we have more science officers on board?"(USS Gannicus, Transporter Room 1, CEO Lt. Commander Zzt, 08:01) "Is she?!" Nicolae asked. "She is! See?"Zzt said holding the two of them up in front of each otherface-to-face so close that their lips pressed together. "See Nicky! Veepers back!"Zzt continued turning the two to face him. "Umm sir, Its a little warm I don't suppose you could put me down please," Vespersasked wiggling slightly. With that comment Zzt suddenly remembered where they were andwhat they were about to go. "Right. Zzt sorry," Zzt said as he put the two of the down gently on their feetand recovered his tool-kit and jacket from the floor.
