"I think the cadets are coming along rather well," ENS Cartwright said as | |||
she and Jerran walked into his room. He immediately went over to his | |||
bedroom to change out of the flight jumpsuit he was wearing and into a | |||
regular duty uniform for the briefing in a half an hour. "I'm glad the | |||
Training Corp let decided to let them stay for the next mission." | |||
As Jerran washed up and put on a new shirt, he nodded and said, "Yeah, but | |||
I'd still prefer to get some real pilots for this next mission. If the | |||
tone of CMDR Maril's voice on that message about the briefing was any | |||
indication, we might need them. Computer, list messages." | |||
[One message forwarded by WO1 Charles Dunnon, originally from ENS Allard.] | |||
"Ah, our new security chief. Play message." | |||
As he got dressed, the FCO listened to the CSO's message concerning | |||
beefing up the flight department with other types of fighters. He raised | |||
an eyebrow but made no comment till the message had played out. | |||
"Computer, response to ENS Allard's message as follows: Suggestions noted | |||
and appreciated. However, in the future, any comments and suggestions | |||
dealing with the flight department should be sent directly to me. End | |||
Message." | |||
"Wasn't that a little harsh?" Jennifer said as she plopped herself down on | |||
the couch. "Afterall, this probably is his first deep space assignment." | |||
"True, but he's got to learn this from someone. Better it be me and my | |||
style than for him to do the exact same thing with someone like LT Koreth | |||
and end up getting his head bitten off for it." | |||
He walked over and kissed Jennifer before walking towards the door. As he | |||
was about to leave, she said, "Speaking of the CEO, scuttlebut is that you | |||
had better stay out of engineering for a while. That maneuver you did | |||
blew out quite a few SIF and IDF relays, and so you are not exactly on his | |||
list of favorite people." | |||
"Oh, I guess you're right. As soon as the meeting is over, I'll go down | |||
and help put together some of the damage I created. A couple of the new | |||
shuttles should be arriving sometime around then, so you'll have to get | |||
them and catalog them." | |||
"Aye, sir," she said with a mock salute from the couch as he walked out | |||
toward the holodeck. | |||

Scene: Holodeck<br> | |||
Considering the holonovel LT Jenn was working on this morning when LTJG | |||
Jerran had passed by her in the hallway, he was somewhat expecting to see | |||
dragons floating around the sky scape as he walked into the holodeck, but | |||
was instead surprised to see the table with the PADDs sitting near the | |||
blue glowing door. | |||
He picked up a PADD and walked towards the door, thinking it was a | |||
forcefield. He touched it lightly with his hand and felt it go through | |||
water. Smiling, he walked through the threshhold, holding his breath. | |||
As a half Vulcan, he was too genetically inclined to swim underwater, | |||
usually, let alone breath under it, but when one of the finned humanoids | |||
came up and told him it was alright to breath, he tried it. It was | |||
somewhat difficult to breath, but he got used to it rather quickly and | |||
followed the mermaid to the briefing area. He decided this was probably | |||
payback for making the crew walk up the steps of Mount Seleya in Vulcan's | |||
thin, dry atmosphere. | |||
When he arrived, he watched as LT Koreth dismounted his sea horse, and | |||
gave the CEO a slight, apologetic smile as he wandered over to the buffet | |||
table which the OPS officer was already conspicuously attacking, as was | |||
usual. Jerran was glad to see that the death of her husband hadn't killed | |||
Krysa's appetite. He got a few seafood delicacies and sat down at the | |||
table, awaiting the arrival of the rest of the senior officers. | |||
