[USS Chimera] SD 240901.19 Unity Duty Log 2ndLt. Nyx
[USS Chimera] SD:240901.19 Joint Personal Log, Lt JG Gustav Kroitzer & Ens Mimi Hopeler
=/\= Gustav\Mimi Quarters – USS – Chimera =/\=
Gustav was sitting down at his desk in a darkened room under a bright
magnifying lamp with a bunch of tools and his arm in front of him, he
decided it was time to tinker and improve it. Not long after the
operation Gustav received the plans and specs on the prosthetic arm so
he could look them over even tough Dr Rice wasn't happy about the
idea.
Mimi had finished up early and decided that if she hurried she and
Gustav would have time for another shower before they went to the mess
hall for dinner. She didn't see him when she first arrived at their
quarters and decided to check Gustav 'little workshop'.
He was in the middle of swapping out the main micro servo for one that
had far more power and control {I might have to think about upgrading
the power supply and the linkages as well soon} when the door whooshed
open.
She walked in the open door and stopped suddenly the words of greeting
freezing in her throat. The hands that hand hung naturally at her
side took a decidedly more tense stand on her hips. It was in that
second that she found her voice again, "I Can't believe it.... you...
not..." Not sure which thought to follow and not wanting to say the
wrong thing she turned and walked out of the room.
Gustav puzzled at Mimi's reaction stood up and followed her leaving
his arm unfinished on the desk.
She shook her head as she made her way through the living area toward
the bedroom. "Why," she asked aloud even though it was more to
herself than anyone else around. She had made it only as far as half
way to her destination when Gustav question stopped her.
"What do you expect? I'm an engineer I fix, improve and tinker with
things, the more complicated the better" he replied.
She spun around meeting his gaze, "I don't know ... its not that I
thought you wouldn't think about improvements, but... but I don't know
you couldn't have waited 3 months... used paper and pencil so to
speak.... discussed it with ... oh I don't know a doctor as well."
"I was sent the plans and specs for the arm not long after the
surgery" Gustav said trying to explain but he didn't bother finishing,
as he didn't think it would help
With a sigh, she added, "Did you even consider that you might do more
harm then good?" She swallowed hard just try to get what little spit
she had left around the lump that seemed to block her throat. She
tapped her foot for about 12 beats and then turned back around and
closed her eyes against the tears the were very close to the surface.
Thinking that he saw some fear in her eyes before she turned around
Gustav asked Mimi "what's really bothering you, you know I wouldn't do
anything to intentionally injury my self".
She shook her head thinking {its not the intentional ... its the
accidental.} She didn't voice her thoughts, but instead waved her
hand and began to finish her trek to the bedroom. She waved a hand in
the air and claimed, "It's just been a difficult day." She was
surprised the words cam out so calmly as she felt anything but calm on
the inside.
Following Mimi into the bedroom Gustav said, "You know I'm no
councillor but shouldn't talk about your problems and fears" adding
"if you can't talk to me about them who can you talk to?"
She spun back around quickly almost causing them to collide. Her arms
crossed in front of her as if in protection as her body seemed to hum
with vibrations. "My problems... my fears.... You.... what had a
horrible accident and under went surgery... you've barely recovered...
you haven't even finished the physical therapy ... and true to form
your taking your own arm apart and tinkering with it."
Gustav didn't say anything, he just let Mimi continue to let
everything out while never taking his gaze away from her eyes.
Her stare was hard but filled with emotions as the words continued to
tumble from her lips. "Did you even think about it on paper.... and
don't say yes ... to make me feel better... because we'd both know it
was a lie."
"I did have the plans though" he tried to say in his defence.
"There is nothing that you like better than having the plans ... and
digging right in to take whatever you're working on apart." Her body
seemed infused with heat with every twisting emotion. She turned
taking off her uniform top as she did and throwing it on the bed.
"But that's what I'm like… an engineer, I do things like this bec…."
Gustav stopped what he was saying when he saw Mimi's reaction.
Mimi took a couple of steps away to give her body if not her mind some
peace. "What if..." She took in a shuddering breath and fell silent
looking at the floor.
Gustav asked "What if?" wanting to know how she felt
With a resigned sigh and still looking at the floor she answered,
"What if your tinker ends up causing an accident where you... I don't
know choke yourself.... How would I...."
Gustav had an inward smile at the thought of his arm moving on it's
own and trying to throttle him but he didn't let Mimi know as it would
have made things worse instead he tried to get Mimi to finish what she
was saying.
"How would you?" he said while moving closer to Mimi.
She felt the warmth of his body and the words that encouraged her to
finish, "survive without you," as his finger moved her chin up until
she met his gaze again.
Looking into Mimi's eyes Gustav said "I' always be here for you… for
as long as you want me here I'll be here" he then lent in to kiss her
sweet lips.
She gave a gentle shove at his shoulder saying, "I'm still mad at
you." The small shove did nothing to move him and he used another
small kiss to coax her out of her bad mood as well as moved them a
step closer to the bed. "Will you at least think whatever
"improvements" your going to make out on paper...?"
Gustav didn't reply, he just kept moving closer to Mimi and so making
her get closer and closer to the bed behind her.
Mimi took another step backward waiting for a response, while Gustav
closed the space she was trying to create. "You never know when an
incomplete calibration might cause some kind of a spasm that would
cause discomfort while using the bathroom." The words were hardly out
of her mouth before she fell backward onto the bed with her next step.
Gustav just smiled sweet but devilish smile at Mimi while lower
himself onto the bed next to her {I wish I had my other arm on}, he
then reached up with his left arm to brush a couple of loose strands
of hair away from her face and lent in for another kiss.

- XO's Report
-------------------------
A good week logging wise, as usual. Towards the end of the week we will most likely be arriving at our destination, namely Outpost 071. I hope all departments are ready, because you will need to be. :) On Unity we learn about some interesting developments regarding the war. Stay tuned for more, cause some exciting things are going to happen soon!
If you're stuck or need help logging, please feel free to email the Command Team <chimera-command@ucip.org> for assistance.
We also have a new listserv this week, namely the Chimera Executive list <chimera-exec@ucip.org>. On this is only the CO and XO, so if there's anything you would like to discuss with only the two of us instead of the entire Command Team, please feel free to do so.
On an OOC note, a new OOC ranking system is being implement UCIP-wide which will help to facilitate the promotion of simmers who serve in OOC positions throughout the org. This however won't impact on the average simmer, so you don't have to worry too much about that. Also, the CinC and Deputy CinC will now be known as the President and the Vice President. The incumbent President is Frankie and the Vice President is Selin (in case you wanted to know).
Thanks to Rangi and Ixus who did the quotes and summary respectively.
That's all for now. Have a great week!

Logical.........
"I wish you not call me that," Rick said.
"Call you what?"
"Ricky. It sounds ...," Rick looked down at the deck.
"It sounds what?" Trent said.
There was a short pause.
"Childish," Rick finally said.
"Nonsense. I've been calling you Ricky since we were ...
children."

Is it a trick question?.......
It has come to my attention that the USS D'Artagnan have
repositioning back into an planet's shadow to reorganized...
18 times. And, bear with me, I doubt that Captain Henry and
her crew have been repeating the same mistake so many
times.", he said, obviously turning the sarcasm as bold as
possible, so everyone sees him coming. "... So, this means
that I received the same report 18 times, from 18 different
persons. Now, who can tell me what that means?", he asked.
No one.
"It means that while 18 persons were trying to impress me
with an obvious bold news that the damn Ferengi probably
heard of, no one cared about telling me that we lost total
communication with the Beta group, due to a communication
relay overload.", he added.

Work / play ratio?...........
"No.. there is plenty to keep me busy," she answered only
slightly altering the position where she continued to lean
against the wall.
"Namely?" Stephen asked with the very faintest tinge of
amusement on his face.
"Exercising, meditation, breakfast, rounds, updates, lunch,
maybe a game or two of chess, a walk, target practice,
dinner, light reading, a shower here and there and some
sleep," she said as if it was a regular routine.

=============================================================
Just thirsty?.........
"Sure, take a seat," Jo said.
Since there wasn't much room, Rick sat on the bunk next to
her.
"How was your first day back?" she asked.
"Annoying. Feel useless," Rick replied, grabbing the bottle
from her and taking a long swig.
"The only time I've ever seen you drink was that time before
your wedding in Oakland when you were nervous," Jo said,
taking the bottle back. "Are you nervous about something
now?"
"No. Wasn't nervous then," Rick said. "Just need drink."
"Well, I've got a good bottle of scotch around here
somewhere," Jo said, looking around her quarters.
Rick again grabbed the bottle of brandy and took another
drink, "No, this will do."
