SD: 80619.2207<br> | |||

Scene: Main shuttlebay<br> | |||
While a ship is in orbit, there is very little for an FCO to do, even if | |||
it is a tricky orbit such as the one posed by the complex gravitational | |||
structure of the ring the FEYNMAN was currently orbitting. Therefore, | |||
unless the FCO is sent on one of the away teams, he's usually going to be | |||
quite unoccupied. | |||
After being kicked out of sickbay twice by Nurse Tamy after trying to help | |||
in the investigation, and out of a couple of other of the science labs, | |||
where his passing knowledge of viral physiology did not help the | |||
scientists and med staff very much, Jerran decided he was just better off | |||
sticking to his own territory. Midshipman Talo was currently on shift at | |||
the helm, and so he didn't want to take the chance away from the cadet, as | |||
this was a valuable learning experience for him. So, the only thing he | |||
could do was go to the shuttlebay and wait for the NOGURA and the rest of | |||
the shuttles which had taken the Panarik freighters back to the colony to | |||
return home. Besides, he knew that when Jennifer walked off of the | |||
shuttle after being in it all day to see him standing there to greet her | |||
personally, that she would probably be most pleased. | |||
Jerran checked the sensor display on the shuttlebay console and noticed | |||
that the ships were still a few minutes from docking. He tapped his badge | |||
and said, "Jerran to sickbay." | |||
<Yes,> came Nurse Tamy's tired and somewhat annoyed voice. | |||
"I just called to see what kind of progress has been made on the virus so | |||
far." | |||
<The same progress that was made when you left here ten minutes ago, | |||
Lieutenant. If I may make an observation, Mr. Jerran, you are going to | |||
make a great Commander one of these days, as you called just minutes after | |||
Commander Zane. It has to be a finely tuned command skill to be able to | |||
call and ask for a progerss report at the most inopportune moment.> | |||
"I am most sorry," the pilot said unemotionally, "I..." | |||
<I know, sir. You're just worried about the crew on the planet, and I | |||
think that is also a good command trait. But, if you would, please wait | |||
till we call you before asking for a progress report.> | |||
Jerran smiled slightly and said, "I'll take it under advisement, Nurse | |||
Tamy. Jerran out." | |||
<ASIMOV to FEYNMAN,> came ENS Cartwright's familiar voice over the | |||
intercom. <We are on final landing approach and are ready for you to open | |||
the shuttlebay doors.> | |||
"Affirmative, ASIMOV. Welcome back." | |||
<NRPG><br> | |||
Welcome to our new CSciO :) Remember guys, don't start hazing him till | |||
he's been here a few more days ;) | |||
