> This time it was Commander Zane who was chuckling. “Having difficulties, Lt.” | |||

> “I am concerned about Fobok, seriously. Did you notice how distracted he was. I can tell you he | |||

> They looked at her questioningly. “All Vulcan use mind blocks consistently. It usually isn’t | |||

> Fobok’s usually, because he’s only half Vulcan. Though since coming on board, I’ve noticed he’s | |||
> gotten better at hiding them from me.” Krysa sighed, “I’ve gotten quite a feel for these mind blocks > being a Betazoid Counselor... and I can tell you there is something really bothering Fobok. | |||
”Zane frowned. He was really only a security officer at heart and | |||
truth be told, although he valued the thoughts of a counselor, especially | |||
a Betazoid one, he was always a little uncomfortable in such situations. | |||
"Has his performance been affected in any way?" Maril asked, | |||
turning to face Krysa. | |||
"No sir, but we've spent the past 4 days in spacedock. There | |||
hasn't really been too much too do." She replied. | |||
"That's true. But alot has happened over the last few days. | |||
We've lost a captain that we all trusted and respected and we have a new | |||
one to get used to. There were a few people who seemed a bit distracted | |||
in this meeting." Zane cast an amused look at Onta. He knew his first | |||
officer was been overwhelmed with his relatives. | |||
"Sir I wouldn't bring this up if I didn't feel it important." | |||
"I realize that and don't misunderstand, I value your judgements | |||
and am not trying to downplay them. I just want to look at things from | |||
all sides. I can't order Fobok to visit either you in a counseling | |||
capacity or your replacement unless I have something more concrete to go | |||
on." He raised his hands as she started to protest. "However, I'd like | |||
the counselor and you, if your duties permit, to keep an eye on Mr.Fobok | |||
and let me know if the situation changes. Agreed?" | |||
"Yes sir." | |||
"Good. Now Commander if you would be so kind to prepare us for | |||
departure I'll meet you both on the bridge in a few minutes. I just want= | |||
to make a few entries into my PADD." | |||
Zane watched the two officers go. He was glad that Jenn had | |||
brought up her concerns and had not backed down on them. The three | |||
officers would make an excellent team. | |||
Activating his PADD he examined all the paperwork he was already | |||
behind in. Maybe this was the reason Paul had accepted transfer so readily= | |||
. | |||
As he began entering the required data he was startled by a sound behind | |||
him. Turning, he saw nothing out of the ordinary. *Probably just the | |||
wind* "Computer, delete wind from program." He continued to work but | |||
could not shake the feeling that he was being watched. He fought down | |||
the instinct. He was probably a little jittery. This was his first | |||
mission as captain. *Yea that must be it.* He chuckled at the thought | |||
of himself nervous in his own holodeck creation. Still, as he left the | |||
castle he could have sworn he heard some one whisper. "You will all die." | |||

Scene:Bridge. | |||
"Status commander?" Zane asked as he stepped through the | |||
turbolift doors. | |||
"We are ready for departure and have been cleared by EPSILON control." | |||
"Very well. Helm take us out. When we clear the system set | |||
course for our patrol area, warp 6." | |||
"Aye sir." The FCO responded. | |||
Zane took a quick look around the bridge and then sat in his | |||
chair. "Zane to Fobok, why aren't you on the bridge?" | |||
[Commander, I must report that I am unfit for duty, sir.] | |||
"What do you mean by unfit lieutenant?" | |||
No reply. | |||
"Lieutenant Fobok?.....Fobok report in...Computer, location of | |||
Lieutenant Fobok." | |||
<Lieutenant Fobok is no longer on the FEYNMAN.> | |||
"Computer, last known whereabouts of Lieutenant Fobok?" | |||
<Lieutenant Fobok was in his quarters.> | |||
"Zane to sickbay." | |||
[Sickbay, Tok here.] | |||
"Doctor, Lieutenant Fobok has just reported himself unfit for | |||
duty and has not responded to any further calls. His last known position | |||
was in his quarters." | |||
[I'm on my way.]<br> | |||
Zane looked up over his shoulder. "Mr. Charles, is there anyone | |||
in Fobok's quarters?" | |||
The CSO quickly checked his security board. "Aye sir. 95% | |||
probability that it is Mr. Fobok." | |||
"Good, I think it would be best if we had some security with the doctor. | |||
" | |||
"Aye sir." | |||
The first officer leaned over to the captain. "Sir, should we | |||
delay our departure until this situation is rectified?" | |||
Zane had been thinking that himself. "No, the admiral was clear | |||
as to the importance of this patrol. We need Mr. Fobok's skills for this= | |||
mission but we can't delay because of it. I'm sure the doctor can get to= | |||
the bottom of this." He sat back and watched the viewscreen as the | |||
interior of the spacedock spun about, lost in thought. He was very | |||
concerned about his science officer. | |||

> Andy, I didnt mean to cut your meeting short, feel free to finish | |||
> it, I just wanted to get this idea out before I forgot to do it. | |||
Not a problem....that's what back-posting is for. ;) | |||
Quick anyone got some Plomeek Soup for Fobok:) | |||
Max: Updated the roster with your changes. (The crowd goes silent in | |||
disbelief) | |||
Joesph: Ok, take us out....watch out for the asteriod belt that rings | |||
the system. BTW, Max is right we have ALPHA, BETA and GAMMA shifts. | |||
Jason: Just my small (very small) addition to your 'voices' | |||
Lylse: If you want to backpost your mission briefing that would be | |||
great. Either way you have a patient to attend to.... | |||
Colby: I didn't know if you wanted to stay on the bridge or join the | |||
doctor so I left it up to you. | |||
All: Its thurs day now, so let's say we arrive at the outskirts of our | |||
patrol area Late Fri early Sat. Until then have fun..... | |||
B.J: Love the Pon Farr idea. Will you be running 'Amok' (the crowd | |||
groans at the bad joke.) | |||
respectfully submitted,<br> | |||
Andy-->Who really loves this ship!<br> |
