==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Back to the Grind== | |||
===by Scott Lusby=== | |||
SD: 2261.031 | |||
MD: Three days after Avae escapes and one day after HOOD rendezvous with USS | |||
KIDD | |||
Setting: Main Engineering, O-Deck, USS HOOD | |||
"What in the name of the eternal gods did those idiots DO in here??!" Gar | |||
shouted, his temper finally boiling over as he scanned through the work | |||
orders from the past few days. "Where's Compass? I'm going to KILL him!" | |||
He'd spent the last couple of days under the care of Doctor Corbett, as a | |||
precaution to the head injuries sustained on Arcturus. He'd thought he was | |||
all right...but shortly after Avae had left, he'd found himself with a | |||
brutal headache, bad enough to force him to visit Sick Bay; a short | |||
examination from the Good Doctor revealed that he was suffering from some | |||
post-concussion symptoms. | |||
That was the end of his working for a couple of days. | |||
Still, the time was productive: he had been able to study the changes the | |||
Starbase's yard dogs had tried to do- which would eventually evolve into his | |||
current frustration, but, initially, had simply produced confusion, as there | |||
would seem to be no reason to mess with the ship's communications and sensor | |||
networks. | |||
He needed to talk to Compass- now. | |||
"Computer- tie-in," he said, pushing a button on his desk. | |||
[[[Working.]]] | |||
"Location of Lieutenant Commander Mark Compass." | |||
[[[Lieutenant Commander Compass is no longer serving on the HOOD. He was | |||
transferred to the USS DAUNTLESS as First Officer two days ago.]]] | |||
Gar grumbled. "Figures." | |||
He closed the connection, and began sifting through the reports further. | |||
Truth be told, his crew had done a good job in re-implementing the | |||
'improvements' those idiots from the Starbase had undone over the last few | |||
hours...and since he was being somewhat generous, he supposed Compass stood | |||
his ground firmly enough in the end... | |||
What was worse was that, now, he had a department full of new personnel. | |||
He'd glanced through their files, and all seemed competent enough (they had | |||
to be just to be considered for HOOD or one of her sister ships)...but many | |||
were young, and that meant they still worked by the textbook. | |||
Even his new departmental XO had taken some convincing... | |||

Setting Chief Engineer's office, Main Engineering, O-Deck, USS HOOD | |||
"I want you to get the work crews going on fixing some of those 'repairs' | |||
the Starbase crews carried out," he said, sliding a tablet across the table. | |||
The Tellarite glanced at Gar skeptically- or so Gar thought, anyway; it was | |||
hard for him to tell otherwise with a Tellarite. | |||
"Are you sure that's wise, Commander?" Lieutenant Daroth said, grabbing the | |||
table. "Usually, repairs are carried out on systems that are damaged in | |||
some way." | |||
Gar fumed as he glanced up at his new assistant. | |||

This ended up being too long for one post, so I split it up. Second part | |||
coming in a few minutes. | |||
