[USS Chimera] SD 240909.08 || BETA || Duty Log || CSEC Major Cortez
=/-\= USS CHIMERA =/-\=
Cortez pulled his glove on tight and holstered his pistol by his hip. Strapping the rifle over his shoulder he scratched his face and marched down the hallway to the transporter room. Elbrum, Jones, Barnes and Rivers were already waiting in the room. He came to a stop a few feet in front of the team and they jumped to attention and saluted. Richard eyed them all and saluted back, "At ease", he said ending his glare on Cadet Elbrum. Richard understood the look on the mans face all too well, he'd seen it many times before, it had even been on his face once a long time ago, a mixture of nervousness and excitement and a longing to just get the damn mission started. He nodded his head and placed his hand on Elbrum's shoulder, he smiled, then looked at the rest of the team, "Don't any of you die on me", he said stepping back, "I hate paperwork".
Twisting around he looked towards the person operating the transporter controls, "Where is Major Shao and her team", he asked.
"Sir, they are en route", the man answered plainly.
He turned back around and looked at his team. "OK here's the plan, we'll beam onto the Eagle which will then quietly insert us into the Rommie station, the CHimera should be able to create just enough of a diversion so that we wont be seen. Once on the station, we'll make a quick assessment and determine the best route to the stations warp core, we'll proceed quickly and plant the explosives, we then extract and blow the station from a safe distance". He paused, "Any questions?', nobody said anything.
The silence was interrupted by Major Shao and her team entering the transporter room.
Cortez nodded and ordered his men onto the transporter pads, "We'll go first and make sure the Eagle is safe" he said towards Major Shao as he stepped onto the pad himself.
A second later he re-materialized along with the rest of his team onto the Eagle. They moved out of the room and into the staging area where they all took a seat and patiently waited. Minutes later after Major Shao's team beamed aboard, a communication from the Chimera came through.
+Cortez here.+, the Major responded.
"What's your status, Major?" The Captain asked.
+We're ready to go captain.+
"Good hunting, Major." Rojac said. "The brighter the blast, the better the show. Chimera out."
Cortez grinned at the statement and sighed deeply. He leaned back and fell into the bench behind him. The few hours or minutes prior to the beginning of a mission were always the worst. He wondered how much longer it would be.
"Soon Enough", he mumbled to himself.

[USS Chimera] SD 240909.08 || BETA || JL || CO Capt Rojac & CTAC Cmdr Levison ||
It was a bad morning for Commander Mike Levison. His sonic shower had
decided that it would amplify to a far higher frequency than normal,
shattering the mirrors in his quarters before he could deactivate it.
Then his replicator had decided to release a gelatinous compound all
over the floor instead of the coffee he had requested and then to add
insult to injury, the doors to his quarters had decided to only open
halfway. If there were higher beings in the universe, they were
obviously having a great deal of fun at his expense. The cause of
these malfunctions eluded him and he had no desire to investigate
them, late as he was to the Tac Centre. Perhaps the worst of his
troubles that morning was yet to come; inspection by the CO.
Within the bustling chamber, Lieutenant Commander Kilbain was
overseeing the drilling of the department once more and seemed to be
enjoying it immensely. Mike had only had a chance to touch base with
his old friend a couple of times since his arrival aboard but intended
to do so more thoroughly at their earliest opportunity. All that
really mattered though, was the status of his men and women and
whether or not they had improved since the Commander had come on
board. To Mike's mind, they had, thanks in part to a small amount of
coercion and a few shift-swaps between various members of the staff.
"Cee-Tac on deck!" one of the more eager Ensigns called from off to
his right as Levison walked in, drawing a smirk from the veteran
Commander.
"As you were for goodness sake," Mike snorted, waving away the few
that had come to attention, "Mr Kilbain, give me some good news this
morning, please."
"Aye sir, I can do so," Kilbain smiled as well, amused by the staff
around him, "We might... I say 'might'... have a half decent group of
men and women here. Whether or not the Captain will agree is another
matter, but we'll have to wait and see on that. Stealth plating is
also functioning properly from my end, although we've yet to get in
touch with Ops this morning to make sure they concur."
"Excellent work, Greg, nice to have something good to report this
morning," Mike nodded, picking up a status report padd and waiting for
the Captain's arrival.
Rojac didn't keep him waiting long. The doors to the Tactical Centre
slid quickly aside, and the bearded CO walked through. The same eager
ensign announced his arrival.
"Captain on deck!" The room snapped to attention.
"As you were." Rojac said, walking into the room with his hands behind
his back. He found Levison and Kilbain and walked in their direction.
"Gentlemen, how are your mornings going?"
"Very well, thank you sir," Kilbain nodded with a smile before Mike
could speak himself, curtailing the diatribe Levison would normally
have launched into. The full Commander simply nodded and asked in
response: "And yourself, sir?"
"I am operating within acceptable parameters." Rojac said with a wide
smirk. "Do you have a copy of the departmental reports?" Rojac asked.
"Aye sir, here you go," Levison nodded, handing the padd he had been
perusing himself to his new Captain and returning the other man's
smile.
Rojac took the padd and reviewed the findings. "These times are
looking much better." Rojac said, tracing a finger down the list. "You
two have done well with the little time you have had. These men aren't
going to be too worn out to fight, are they?"
"If they get caught napping on the job, I'll be sure to get in touch
with Engineering and give them a few more candidates for plasma
exhaust scrubbing," Mike grinned cheerfully, glancing around at the
withering glares and groans from some of the crew in the room,
"Kidding aside, we'll be ready sir. Just give the word and we'll get
it done."
"I'm sure you will, Commander." Rojac replied. Moments later he
produced a padd and handed it to the CTac. "Commander, these are the
latest long-range sensor scans from Science. They seem to think that
the sensor disturbance we're encountering isn't fully caused by the
natural occurrences in the region, but perhaps via more anomalous
factors or through an artificial source." He looked over to Kilbain.
"You are both rather bright gentlemen, and you have experience dealing
with sensor masking technology. Review the data and tell me what you
something to give us a heads-up," Levison nodded, taking the padd and
passing it across to his friend and colleague. "Can we do anything
else for you?"

- Summaries (Rangi)

Alpha - Bren
On Norris VIII-A, 2Lt Winters' team engage their enemy on the icy moon to secure the Romulans communications outpost. Although they take some casualties, they manage to enter the complex and regroup before proceeding.
On the Quasar, Captain Ohmsford continues his investigation but finds it difficult when he is confronted with Liev's remains.
Beta - Rojac
Dr. Quoicho meet with the new CMO and gets her orders. Mercedes investigates the cause of the sensor interference in Stellar Cartography. Major Xerxes is visited by an Assistant Operations Officer to make sure she has all of her operational needs met. Athena evaluates the new XO. Lt Vaughn drops in on Mercedes Carpenter and pledges to send more power to sensors.
Charlie - Ixus
Chisulo orders LCorp Dawson on a secret mission to extract the 17
prisoners of war but with the Erassians raining Nuclear Armageddon
down on the base it won't be easy. In theory the first strike has
been sent but that log is still a work in progress and should be out
shortly as a backlog...Sorry.
Delta - Rik
none.
Unity - Rangi
Nym and Lt Mumacik arrived in the infirmary where Nym was
able to take Mumaciks injuries to herself unbeknown to the
medical staff or security. Mumacik, felt slightly better but
was delerious for a while before eventually falling asleep.
Rangi and Lucy discussed his treatment then went to the CMOs
office where Rangi asked Lucy to initiate a Blood Screening
programme to be passed off as a routine test, that could
indicate possible Romulan intruders.
Later, Rangi met T'Vel and discussed the mystery surrounding
the bodies of Harker and Samantha Palmer. A specialised scan
was to be carried out which would determine if one of the
bodies originated in an alternate universe.
Jade had a meeting with T'Vel who suggested that a mindmeld
would help her learn to cope with her increased telepathic
abilities. Progress was made.

* SUBJECT LINES/LOGGING GUIDELINES/WEBSITE NEWS/IRC INFO *
==============================================
-------------------------
- Subject Lines
-------------------------
Please remember to use the following format for your subject lines:
SD 24YYMM.DD, Duty/Personal Log, Rank Name
e.g., SD 240502.01, CO's Log, Capt Rojac
e.g., SD 240502.01, Personal Log, Cropa Rojac
The [USS Chimera] part of the subject is placed automatically by the listserv, so you don't need to include it.
Also remember to include your details at the end of your log
e.g.,
Captain Cropa Rojac
Commanding Officer
USS Chimera NX 96899-B
-------------------------
- Logging Guidelines
-------------------------
Logging:
The weekly logging deadline is at Midnight (12:00AM/00:00) GMT/UTC (19:00 EST); all logs received after the deadline will be counted for the following week. If you are pressed for time and would like a log to count for the previous week, but it is sent after the deadline, please send an email to the command team when you send the log so that we can make the corrections.
Please remember that all MAJOR plot changes need to be cleared with the command staff before a log goes through! You can do this by sending the command staff (chimera-command@ucip.org ) a log labeled with "Draft" tagged to the subject line. We'll typically let you know if it's approved within 24 to 48 hours, or tell you what might need to be modified before it's sent to the listserv.
When using other characters in your logs, please keep in mind that person's characteristics. Character information can be found on the UCIP website or the USS Chimera website (under CREW - just click on the Star Trek symbol next to the character's name). If you're still unsure how to interact with a character, then privately mail the person
involved, and I'm sure they'll be willing to help.
Conversely, if you feel that your character is being portrayed incorrectly by someone please contact them to try to work out an agreeable solution. Just keep in mind when logging to treat other characters the way you'd like them to treat you - with the respect due to any member of Starfleet who is a specialist in their field.
If you think your log may be going out of bounds, then please ask! If you are having problems finding things to write about or would just like some help with your log, please contact your department head or the command team. Remember, you don't always have to log about things relating to the main plot - logs that develop your character's
personality are encouraged! We're eager to help if you're having trouble; just email the command team (chimera-command@ucip.org).
