<h4 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">by Joseph Baker 2-8-1996</h4> | |||
SD: 80208.0143<br> | |||
Ensign Jerran awoke from one of the best nights of sleep he'd had in the | |||
entire two weeks or so that he'd been on board the FEYNMAN. His hand was | |||
still resting ever so gently on the side of her head, where it had | |||
remained all night so that they would be able to continue the link while | |||
they slept. The result had been that they were both in each other's | |||
dreams all night, an experience which is by far so indescribably better | |||
than a holodeck. | |||
He smiled down at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She reached | |||
up sleepily and messed up his hair which had actually not moved much | |||
during the night, as was usual. *Good morning* he thought to her. | |||
*Don't you have the decency to look bad in the morning like everyone | |||
else?* she thought to him. | |||
They both laughed and then Jerran said, "Computer, time," almost | |||
forgetting that the computer doesn't respond to thought commands. | |||
<< 0755 >>, came the matter of fact reply.<br> | |||
Jerran jumped straight out of the bed, uttering a few choice Bajoran | |||
curses which the Prophets probably wouldn't have approved of as he pulled | |||
off what he was still wearing of the dress uniform last night, which was | |||
mainly just his pants and the standard black undershirt. | |||
He threw on the nearest uniform which looked clean, and just barely had | |||
his boots on as he gave Jennifer a quick kiss before running out the | |||
door. Before it closed on him, though, he turned to her with a smile and | |||
said, "You'd better get to your post, too, Ensign, before I have to put | |||
you on report." | |||
She stood up at mock attention and said with a smile, "Aye, aye, sir," | |||
saluting him in an outdated fashion. They both laughed as he grabbed his | |||
leather flight jacket and ran out the door, hearing each other more | |||
through the lingering mind link rather than with their ears. | |||
Jerran was just barely able to get into the holodeck as the clock struck | |||
0800 hours. He almost thought he was in the wrong holodeck when he | |||
noticed the midieval castle with its gruesome looking gargoyles glaring | |||
at him. Either this was the new CO's way of relieving the tension among | |||
the senior crew, or this was some form of punishment for being tardy. He | |||
just wondered where the torture chamber was, and if it would just be | |||
easier for everyone if he found his own way there. | |||
He walked up to the front door and taking the knocker into his hand, | |||
slammed it down a few good times. An old man answered the door and said, | |||
"Ah, we've been expecting you, Sir Terel of Jerran." | |||
He followed the little holographic man, kind of pleased that he had been | |||
able to use his name properly, but perplexed at the way he used it. The | |||
old man brought him to the meeting room, where the other officers were | |||
all already assembled. | |||
He sat down at a spot near the end of the table, getting a rather knowing | |||
look from Lt. Jenn. | |||
He heard the entire report Commander Zane gave, but he wasn't really | |||
paying attention at the time. He just filed it away for later | |||
reference. Besides, he had already read the reports on the mission which | |||
had been sent out to the department heads. | |||
He was awoken from his daydreaming when the odd character came in with | |||
the announcement of his and Ensign Fobok's promotions to Ltjg. He smiled | |||
cordially to everyone who congratulated him as he absentmindedly put the | |||
new pip on his collar. | |||
Then the other officers gave their departmental reports. He wasn't | |||
paying too much attention to that, either, untill Lt. Jenn mentioned his | |||
name in her report, to the effect that he hadn't shown up for a psyche | |||
evaluation lately. Boy would she be surprised when he finally did, though. | |||
Then, came his turn to report... | |||
<<<< Ens... errr... Ltjg Jerran's report (G) >>>> | |||
Jerran picked up his PADD and glanced at it for a moment, collecting his | |||
thoughts real quick. Commander Zane had had to call on him twice to | |||
break the trance he was in. | |||
"Ummm, departmental report for Flight Control, Ltjg Jerran Terel reporting. | |||
"Repairs on the runabout Nogura were successful. The main things which | |||
had to be done were as follows: the warp core had to be replaced, both | |||
warp nacelles had to be rebuilt from the inside, no new parts were needed | |||
for that phase, impulse engines required a backflushing in the impulse | |||
intake system, and the sensor system required major degaussing and | |||
recallibration. Medical department had also performed the | |||
decontamination on the aft compartment before my crew got into it | |||
"As for flight personnel: Most of the AFCO's are now up to at least | |||
level 4 flight profficiency, with two at level five and one, Ensign | |||
Jennifer Cartwright," he said, with a slight twinge of pride detectable | |||
through his normally professional demeanor, "attaining level six flight | |||
status. I have hence given her the position of Deputy Flight Control | |||
Officer, with Petty Officer Arak t'Jon as NCOIC of the flight | |||
department. Warrant Officer Charles Dunnon was given the position of | |||
Senior Shuttle Pilot." | |||
"And that's it," he said, placing the PADD back on the table with a | |||
smile as he sat down again. | |||
<NRPG><br> | |||
Kris: See, Jerran wasn't trying to avoid your look. He just wasn't paying | |||
attention to you <G> And he doesn't visit because he's afraid of getting | |||
your psychiatristy bill <EG> | |||
Fobok: High five, man!!<br> | |||
Respectfully submitted,<br> | |||
Ltjg Jerran Terel<br> | |||
FCO, USS FEYNMAN<br> |
