SD: 2260.159
MD: -6.1400
Scene: Captain's Office, E Deck
            Captain’s Log Stardate 2260.159.  With 6 days before launch I
am pleased with the progress that the crew has made.  Truth be told the
ship itself is at full readiness and what little supplies we had used have
been replaced.  Having only been in commission for 6 months we’ve made
little dent in our inventory or wear on the equipment.  It is in  staffing
where the most work is needed.  Fortunately I received a communiqué from
Starfleet this morning confirming the imminent arrival of our Chief
Medical Officer, Chief of Security and Helmsman.  While I am greatly
relieved to fill these core positions it still leaves some fairly big holes
at Comm and NAV. 
            The communication department has a strong foundation of non
comm’s and junior officers to man the station in the short term so I have
no major concerns there.  As for NAV, again we have a good staff there but
no one senior enough to run the department even in the short term. 
Lieutenant Commander Merrick has volunteered to take on this role in a dual
capacity until Starfleet can shake an appropriate officer for us.  I don’t
envy him the work load but as he clearly pointed out when he volunteered we
don’t really have a lot of options.  As HOOD’s previous FO I can certainly
step in and assist him where needed.  And just as importantly I have
Lieutenant Commander Th'elenth overseeing engineering.  I think Gar needs
some seasoning as a departmental manager more for coming to terms with how
he found himself in the position then due to any deficincies in his skills. 
And to be fair given I am in exactly the same position he is, who am I to
talk?  But either way I am confident that engineering and HOOD are in solid
hands.
            Jack looked up as his door chime went.  “Computer save log.”
            [Acknowledged.] The metallice voice replied.  Steele wondered
absently if there was some way to make the computer sound less like a computer. 
            “Come.”
            The doors slid open and Dr. Corbett has just enough time to
enter the office before he was called to action. 
            Merrick’s booming voice suddenly flooded the ship. [Trauma team
to main engineering. I repeat trauma team to main engineering on the double!]
            Stile has spun around and was already half way to the lift
before he realized he didn’t know exactly how to get to main engineering. 
Luckily Steele was close behind.

Steve:  I figured this was better then the standard nice to meet you meeting.
Steve/Scott: I’ll let you decide how serious the injury in engineering is. 
Thought it’d be more fun for all our characters to meet this way.  Hopefully
we don’t have any deaths before we actually launch.
ALL: General NRPG to follow.
Respectfully,
Andy
