Scene: 10-Forward<br> | |||
> Needless to say the room was packed. Paxwax was a popular Captain, and here it showed. Every | |||
> senior officer was accounted for and there was a fairly long line to get an audience with him. | |||
> Tarrant decided that he would catch Paxwax at a later time. Instead, he found that 'Commander' | |||
> Zane was relatively free. | |||
> "Congratulations on your promotion, Sir." | |||
> "Thank you Lieutenant. " Zane tried to find something non-work related to talk about, but found | |||
> it difficult. Luckily Tarrant spoke first. | |||
> "Did you serve with him long, Captain?" | |||
"Right from the start." Zane replied pouring himself a scotch. | |||
"He and I, and Commander Maril as well, all started out together as fresh | |||
young ensigns assigned to a brand new ship. We arrived before she had | |||
even been commissioned and Captain West had taken command." Zane thought | |||
back to those exciting days. It was hard to believe it was not so long ago. | |||
"Captain West. Yes I've heard some of my staff mention him now | |||
and again. Whatever happened to him." | |||
"We were on our second mission. The captain had decided to lead | |||
the away team to a planet that was locked in a civil war. I was still | |||
CSO then and I was the security officer present. Of course I was | |||
responsible for everyone there but you know the captain's safety is of | |||
prime importance...." His voice trailed off. He had not thought of this | |||
in some time. | |||
"And?" Tarrant prompted. | |||
Zane took a long drink of the scotch. "And we were ambushed. We | |||
realized that we had put our faith in the wrong side and were now paying | |||
the price. Initially we were pinned down but after a few lucky breaks | |||
the tide began to turn. I left the captain to set up a little ambush of | |||
my own, with incidently the then CMO, Paxwax. He went to one side I went | |||
to the other. To make a long story short we were successful. We managed | |||
to neutralize all of our attackers. Or so we thought. As we walked back | |||
to the main group a soldier came out of no where and fired his weapon at | |||
one of the away team. Seeing what had happened Captain West dove in | |||
front of the officer and took the hit." | |||
"He didn't make it?" Tarrant's Klingon blood welled with pride | |||
for the fallen officer. It was truly honourable to die in combat while | |||
saving a comrade. | |||
"No he didn't die. He fell into a strange coma that the doctor | |||
was unable to wake him from. We transferred him to EPSILON medical which | |||
is where he is now. They have no idea if he'll ever come out of it." | |||
The two men stood in silence for a few moments before Zane | |||
continued. He didn't want to put a damper on anyone's evening. "After | |||
that Captain Sarah Waylen became the CO. She was only here for a short | |||
time as she got transferred to another fleet. It was too bad in away. | |||
She was an excellent officer and I really learned alot from her. So did | |||
Paul. When Captain Waylen left Admiral Nicholas was sufficently | |||
impressed by him that he was given the FEYNMAN. Which just about brings | |||
us to the present." | |||
"It seems you follow a long line of distinguished, albeit it | |||
brief, predescesors commander. You are worthy to join them." | |||
"Thank you for the vote of confidence lieutenant." Zane allowed | |||
himself and uncharacteristic scene of uncertainty. "Right now I feel I | |||
need it. Those are big shoes to follow." | |||
"Commander, I have found that to follow in ones footsteps is often | |||
counterproductive. You must wear your own shoes." It was Tarrant's | |||
turn to step out of character. "You know, the comfortable ones." | |||
Smiling he turned and headed for the buffet. Happy to see all the | |||
Betazed dishes that Bat had put out, especially the Mantickian Pate. | |||
Zane watched him go and smiled. He really was lucky to serve | |||
with such a fine group. Looking down he examined the glass of | |||
Aldebaran Scotch he had been sipping and looked over at Bat and | |||
Mike Larocque who had become good friends of late. As he looked at the | |||
guilty expression on his aide's face and the one of smug satisfaction | |||
on his 'uncles' he realized that 'partner's in crime' might be a more | |||
fitting title. He didn't have to check with Maril to know that the | |||
scotch and other rare items on the buffet were very new acquistions. | |||
Too new to be entirely legal. He made a mental note to commend both | |||
men's ingenuity. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
I hope my memory came through, but that was the gist of it. :) | |||
Our staff meeting will take place on the Holodeck but I have not yet | |||
decided what the scene will be....I hope to begin the meeting about this | |||
time tommorrow night or Thurs morning at the latest. It depends on how | |||
the party ends up :D | |||
The mission date clock will be activated once we arrive in our patrol area. | |||
As for bridge shifts, all remains the same with the exception of Maril | |||
who will take Zane's shifts and Jenn will take Maril's. Of course during | |||
red and yellow alerts the relevant senior staff will all be on the bridge | |||
unless occupied elsewhere... | |||
respectfully submitted, | |||
CDMR. Zane | |||
