Scene: Bridge<br>
Meleah stepped out of the turbolift onto the bridge. Because some of the
other senoir officers were in need of medical attention, she had been called
upon to command Beta shift. Because she did not need any sleep, and was not
damaged, she was a logical choice for the position. LtCmdr Maril was in the
command chair, and he stood up when Meleah came into view. "Cmdr, Dr.
Glin'kharr wishes you to go down to Sickbay as soon as your shift has finished."
"Thank-you," he replied and proceeded to inform her of the situation
(nothing had really happened so far). He then left the bridge and Meleah
seated herself in the command chair. This was her first command shift on
the Feynman, and in an unusual sort of way, she was looking forward to it.
She made the usual department checks, keep an eye out for the pirates, and
generaly had a uneventful shift. But she didn't get bored simply because
she couldn't get bored.
At 0030 hours, as her extended shift was up, she tapped her badge and said,
"Bridge to Cmdr Maril."
There was a few seconds wait, then a groggy sounding voice said [Yes]
"We are exactly thirty minutes away from the pirate base. The Captain
informed me that all senior officers were to be on the bridge, if possible,
when we arrived."
[I'm on my way.]
Meleah then switched her attention to Zane. "Bridge to Cmdr Zane."
[Yes?] sounded a voice that indicated he was wide awake.
"We are twenty-nine minutes away from arrival"
[Thank-you, Lt.]
A few minutes later, Zane, Maril, Krysa, and Allard arrived. Jerran had
arrived slightly earlier than the others and was already seated at his
station. Meleah relinquished the chair, which she had investigated during
her shift, and took up her chair at the science station as Ens Loth was
still in sickbay.

NRPG:
Meleah just *had* to sit in the command chair! This makes my nrpg post
partly redundant, although I still wish to know how often Meleah would have
a command shift.
Sincerely yours,
Lt. Meleah, CSciO, USS FEYNMAN, Silver Fleet.
Melanie Pocknall.
