[ 24 Hours Before Mission Briefing in [ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Saddle Up! ] | |||
Scene: Brig, USS HOOD | |||
The door tone rang and DeSimms looked up from a pile of paperwork. Who the hell | |||
needed him now, he wondered. | |||
His first visitor that day had been a lovely young woman who turned out to be | |||
his SECXO. His second, however, had been engineering's Now-Ensign Campbell. | |||
That piece of work left him feeling less than hospitable. Still, he reflected, | |||
the record on pretty things walking through his door did stand at 1 for 2. Not | |||
too awful bad. So he pressed the ENTER button. | |||
The man standing in the door wore a medical division uniform. His old-style | |||
'cowboy' hat lent a air of boldness to his eyes. DeSimms assumed this was the | |||
new medical officer, Dr. Stile Corbett. Swallowing his mild disappointment at | |||
the doc not being a beautiful woman, he welcomed him in. | |||
"What can I do for you, Doctor?" | |||
"Lieutenant DeSimms, I prasume," Corbett drawled. | |||
"That would be me." | |||
"Pleased to make your acquaintance," the Doctor said with a hardy handshake. | |||
Then he frowned and adjusted his hat. "I need your help with a matter of some | |||
grave importance. After that mishap in engineering, I noticed that this ship is | |||
a bit behind on its disaster response." Corbett suddenly noticed something over | |||
DeSimms' shoulder. | |||
"Is that a Colt Python on the wall back there?" he asked in awe. | |||
"Why yes it is." DeSimms was tickled. He'd met precious few in Starfleet who | |||
could appreciate a fine antique weapon. And the last person he'd expected to | |||
notice his Python was a physician. He beamed. "It's the pride of my | |||
collection. Matter of fact," he added with chagrin, "it is the only one that | |||
works exactly as it's supposed to." | |||
Corbett put his left boot on the chair next to him. The Security Chief raised | |||
an eyebrow. “You might like this,†Corbett said, pulling up his trouser leg | |||
and slipping his revolver from its ankle holster. Gingerly, he handed it to | |||
DeSimms. “This sar is a .38 Colt Cobra. It has been the backup gun for every | |||
Texas Ranger named Corbett for the last 300 years. My daddy passed it to me just | |||
before he died.†| |||
DeSimms took up the revolver almost reverently. “Very nice indeed doctor.†| |||
“Thank you sar. It is one of my prized pieces. More for sentimental reasons | |||
than anything else, of course. Though I have to say the trigger action is very | |||
smooth. It’s nice to see someone else aboard who enjoys vintage firearms.†| |||
DeSimms handed back the Colt. Returning to business, he said, "So tell me, | |||
where you want to go with these drills? If we are going to do full scale | |||
emergency drills, we should also do heavy combat and security alert scenarios as | |||
well." | |||
“I agree," the doctor said. "The drill needs to be shipwide. The crew needs | |||
to know what to do with the wounded in heavy combat. | |||
"My plan is to set up mock triage and emergency surgical areas in cargo bays 4 | |||
through 6. From there, critical patients will be transferred to main sickbay for | |||
further surgical and medical treatment. I will have 6 trauma teams dispatched to | |||
critical areas of the ship to deliver immediate care and transport those | |||
patients to the cargo bays. I wanted to cover some of the logistics with you. | |||
With security drills added to the mix, we should get our people aware of each | |||
other's deployment plans so that they aren't running over each other.†| |||
"I like it," DeSimms said. He moved over to his Colt Python and pulled it down | |||
for Corbett to have a closer look. "Come to think of it, I wonder what the FO | |||
would think about NAV and HELM playing our adversaries." | |||
They both smiled wolfishly. | |||
[ 6 hours AFTER the Mission Briefing in [ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Saddle Up! ] | |||
Scene: Bridge, USS HOOD | |||
Merrick eased himself into the captain's chair and played a finger over the | |||
shipwide mic switch. The salutory "whooowuu" sounded through every deck and | |||
cabin of the HOOD. | |||
"Attention all hands," his voice echoed. He spared a quick wink at the doctor | |||
standing by his side. The fun was about to begin. "This is the First Officer. | |||
This is an exercise. General Quarters!" | |||
Klaxons immediately blared and the bridge lights switched to crimson filters. | |||
He went up to the helm station, tapped a sequence, then gripped the edge of the | |||
station. The ship shuddered briefly. | |||
The navigator on duty piped up. "Shields down, Commander. Damage to decks C, | |||
D, J, and M." | |||
"Dispatch damage control teams," he ordered. Presently, he slid back into his | |||
chair and slapped a switch. "Merrick to transporter room. Ready with the first | |||
wave of boarders." | |||
[ I'm going to kick your ass, Merrick ] came Steele's mischievious reply. He | |||
and ENS Ventura were leading the simulated Klingon attack. [ Transporting now. | |||
] | |||
A few moments passed. | |||
"Intruder alert J deck, forward weapons control, sir," came Powers' cool voice | |||
from Communications. | |||
"Security teams to foward weapons," Merrick ordered. Aside to Corbett he added | |||
conspiratorially, "Next time maybe we'll assault sick bay." | |||
Corbett leaned in. "Where's tha sport in that? The medics would wipe you out | |||
so fast that there would be nothing for anyone else to do but clean up the | |||
mess." | |||
Merrick smiled and waved him off. "Speaking of a mess." He hit the comm, | |||
"ARr’Rhiana Hemux, cue your mass casualties." Then to Corbett he said, "Go | |||
have fun doc." | |||
NRPG (Brian): It's RED vs GOLD! Scott, you may have noticed that your damage | |||
control teams are headed to J deck where the boarding parties are. Hope you're | |||
with the redshirts. David, your science department casualties are also | |||
role-playing there. Anyone can jump in on the action. Grab a phaser and set it | |||
to stun! | |||
Eric, you there buddy? You've got a team to lead into role-playing glory. | |||
Andy, since the Gold shirts are pretending to be Klingons, Steele might want to | |||
watch his back. Ventura's first duty as an officer is to assasignate him <EG>. | |||
