==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: What's a Captain to do?== | |||
===by [[Catterick_Andy|Catterick, Andy]]=== | |||

SD: 2260.160 | |||
MD: -6.1430 | |||
Scene: USS HOOD, Engineering department | |||
Steele tried his best not to get in the way as first the | |||
doctor and then the trauma team did their work. The rating looked | |||
bad but judging from Dr. Corbett’s demeanour it wasn’t life threatening. | |||
Of course Steele had never met the man but even from a distance he | |||
seemed to have a calm authority. Either that or he was a quack and | |||
didn’t know what he was doing; it wasn’t like the captain would know | |||
either way at this point. Fortunately he had received a number of | |||
solid reviews about the doctor. Starfleet, while growing dramatically, | |||
was still a close knit organization. A friend in personnel had given | |||
him a quiet heads up as to the list of candidates command had been | |||
looking at for transfer to HOOD. | |||
On the medical section Stile was at the top of the list. | |||
Jack had called a few of his friends and while not many had worked with | |||
the doctor just about all had assured him that Corbett had a solid | |||
reputation as a healer. For the few who had actually met the man they | |||
all grinned when Steele had brought up the name. They too said his | |||
skills as a doctor were exceptional but added that on a personal level | |||
he was a character. No one elaborated any more then that just starting | |||
to grin again as they ended the call. A character. Steele hoped it | |||
was true. He had the utmost respect and admiration for his predecessor | |||
but Captain Sinclair hadn’t been one to tolerate characters among his | |||
officers. His ward room had been much more staid then Steele intended | |||
his to be. Hopefully Corbett would help lighten the mood. | |||
Doctor Corbett and his medics seemed to have stabilized the | |||
situation enough to move the patients to sickbay. With one crisis | |||
seemingly diverted Steele strode over to the nearest comm. He jabbed | |||
the white button. “Bridge.” | |||
[Bridge. Commander Merrick. Is everything all right down | |||
there captain?] The First Officer had dashed up to the bridge once Steele | |||
had arrived. At the time there was no certainty as to what was happening | |||
so Merrick had taken the prudent course. Steele wondered if he should | |||
have been the one to head up to the bridge. Perhaps lingering around in | |||
engineering might be seen as a sign he didn’t trust his people when in | |||
actuality he had come here because he wanted to see first hand. Wanted | |||
to be able to help. This commanding officer stuff was still pretty new. | |||
“It seems to be. Dr. Corbett and his trauma team have the | |||
situation in hand.” He watched as the Chief Engineer and the Science | |||
Officer examined a bank of consoles. “I’m going to get a status report | |||
from Gar, check in at sickbay and then I’ll be up to the bridge. Steele | |||
out.” | |||
“How bad is it?” The captain asked without preamble. | |||
“Bad enough.” Gar replied with clear frustration. “We’ve also | |||
had reports of some sort of minor cascade across the ship. Lieutenant | |||
Hemux thinks he may have located a pattern here and I tend to agree with | |||
him. But there is still much work to do.” He said absently while his | |||
attention focused on some results that flashed onto Hemux’s tricorder. | |||
“As soon as I have anything definite I’ll let you know sir.” | |||
“Fair enough.” Steele replied knowing when he was dismissed. | |||
Perhaps Gar wouldn’t have any problems taking command in engineering after | |||
all he mused as he left engineering and headed for sickbay. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Steve: I might get another one out today/tomorrow with Steele visiting you | |||
in sickbay. He’ll want a status report, a chance to meet Stile and will | |||
be following up on a complaint from a shuttle pilot who thinks you maybe a | |||
bootlegger (Which Jack will think is absolutely hilarious<G>) | |||
Respectfully, | |||
Andy Catterick | |||
