Stardate:2406.06.20 (USS Nimitz - Bridge -CO - Captain Devan Sash -0900) 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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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."

"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.

"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." (Reply Salahali, Kinkaid) (Posted by melinda :-) Stardate:2406.06.20 (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.

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.
