[USS Chimera] SD 240901.26 || JL || Capt Rojac (CO) & LtJG Howard (Tac) ||

[Ready Room - Deck 1 - USS Chimera-C]
 
Rojac looked up from Captain Xerxes report she had ferried to his desktop. The chime had sounded, disturbing his progress.
 
"Come." He shouted, putting his attention back to the section detailing the Flight Operations CO's suspicions of an ambush.
 
Michael walked in and stood at attention, "Lieutenant Junior Grade Michael Howard reporting for duty, Sir."
 
"Ah, Lieutenant." Rojac said, returning the salute. "I was wondering when you were going to report in. I was hoping it would have been sooner. Quickly, take a seat."
 
Michael sat down and faced his new CO. The man had piercing eyes and a strange manner that didn't sit well with Michael. Perhaps it was just the little that Michael knew about Rojac's past that colored Michael's perception.
 
"Lieutenant, given the current mission parameters and your position as a tactical officer, what would your recommendation be when entering a potential ambush situation while enroute to our destination?"
 
Michael blinked and set his thoughts back on the business at hand. He unconciously ran a hand through his hair as he thought, "There are several options. If there are specific areas of concern we can send out our stealth fighters to act as a scout force and make sure that there are no enemies in the vicinity. As far as dealing with an ambush should it happen obviously it would depend on the situation, but they would likely come at us with more than one ship, and get on either side to divide our fire. In that instance I would recommend throwing our entire fighter complement at one ship while we focus on another."
 
Michael paused and then continued, "By concentrating our fire and using our fighters as a distraction we could hopefully keep from being overwhelmed until we were in a position to either escape or to force them to retreat."
 
Rojac rubbed at his beard as the Tactical Officer spoke. He ahd good responses solid responses, but they were too direct and didn't adress the main objective of their operation. "That would be the best option if the main objective were to protect this ship, Lieutenant. But that is not the main objective at this point in time. Deploying the fighter wing at that close of a range would blow our cover, and make it much harder for Engineering and Operations to get our security teams aboard the outpost."
 
Michael nodded, "Be that as it may, if this is an ambush then our cover is blown anyway. But it is true that we should exercise caution in sending out our fighters."
 
"But it was a sounds analysis, Lieutenant. I believe elements of your plan may still be applicable. We will make two sweeps. The first in order to safely beam our security teams aboard Outpost 0071. The second to distract our Romulan guests so that Security may get to work securing the station. With our primary objective already completed at that point, I think our fighters may be deployed with better discretion. Do you agree, Lieutenant?"
 
"Yes Sir, that seems like a sound plan."
 
Roajc grinned and interlaced his fingers atop his desk. "Very well. I will run the plan by Captain Xerxes for her input. I believe she has some fighters on stand-by already. I want you Lieutenant to go to work on the bridge to workout the strategic scenarios. I want a full list of options: attack plan alpha, beta, and charlie, along with three exit strategies in case things get hairy. Understood Lieutenant?"
 
"Yes Sir, I'll get to work on them right away," Michael said and stood up.
 
"Very well. Dismissed. I'll see you on the bridge."

THIS WEEK:
 
CHIMERA: Begin PHASE II.
Operations: Prepare the transporter rooms and link them up with the computer program you put together. Prepare for transport on the Captain's mark.
Tactical: Howard... put together those plans Roajc asked you too, then get ready for some action on the Bridge.
Security: Prepare for deployment. Once we beam you over, it's your show.
Engineering: Get the damage control teams together. Watch the transporter systems during the delicate procedure.
Flight: Stand-by for engagement. After the transport, guns are blazing.
Medical: Good job on the rommie. Why not have him act up when he comes too?
 
UNITY: Go thorugh your subplots...
Klingon affair, Shipyards, etc...
 
LAST WEEK:
Flight Operations : Recon flight. We need some intel on the outpost and what may be surrounding it. Are we heading into an ambush?
Operations: I want you guys writing the computer program for the delicate transport procedure.
Engineering: I want you guys making the ahrdware modifactions to the transporters.
Security: Two man teams should be drilling for covert insertion and hostage rescue. Do what you can to NOT bring down the outpost's cloak, just in case the outpost's position is not known to the whole romulan fleet.
Medical: The XO wants you checking the crew's DNA for Romulan traces. Get busy, start with the away teams is my suggestion.
Science: Monitor the passive sensor for signs of Romulan activity.

- Summary (by Rangi)
-------------------------
Michael managed to find his way to the Bridge.
Gustav began  improving his prosthetic arm much to Mimis
dismay.
Counsellors Nym and Luke continued in their attempts to help
Dennis Lapin.Later Nym discovered Dennis had been tortured.
Athena joined Natalia in the Brig to interrogate the Romulan
prisoner.Verbally he gave nothing away but Athena sensed a
link to the Breen.
Bren and Liev say goodbye as Bren prepares for his
assignment and Liev prepares to meet a Klingon delegation.
Bren had a short conversation with Chloe in which he
informed her he would be Acting Engineering Advisor and
asked to 'borrow' Rick for an assigment to which Chloe
readily agreed. Bren told Rick about the Commodores plan to
bring a shipyard to Unity and Rick was pleased at the
thought of being involved.
Athena sent her report on Terrh to Rojac stating that she
thought him capable of violence, that he might have the
means to commit suicide and that he could be of more than
one mind.
Major Giellera Kinn and Lt Commander Jaelak Sulat were
disturbed in their  tryst and parted, promising to meet
again soon, even if it meant travelling to Unity to do so.
Anya had an uneasy feeling about her mission that pointed to
more than an expected  Romulan ambush.
Tommy agreed that the Away Teams were ready to go even
though the the order for four man teams had been changed.
Jade discussed the need for a timing programme to transport
three security teams withing a very small time frame. Dexter
suggested sending a test object first but this was deemed un
feasible. Later, with the programme made, Jade headed for
the Bridge.
Rojac was finding the endless waiting difficult but at last
received word that the fighters were returning. He asked to
meet Anya in his Ready Room on arrival and put phase two
into motion. He also requested that Rangi run tests on the
Romulan prisoner. These were done despite Terrhs protests
and they confirmed his Romulan heritage as well as signs of
a Mind Meld.
The Klingons cleared Chisulos journey to Khitomer.
Rangi gave Gustav the 'all clear' to return to duty with
conditions that he attended physio and councelling sessions.
Rick told Maikai about his 'blackouts'
T'Vel paid a visit to Paediatrics and Maikai told him all
was running well.
Bren kept an appointment with Stephen Jacobs and was
surprised it lasted so short a time.

- Quotes of the Week (by Gutz)
-------------------------

Which Way Did He Go???

Michael paused at a fork in the hallway and hesitated. He hadn't been
aboard the Chimera long enough to meet the CO and he was already lost.
This ship was far larger than any other he had been on and was
incredibly confusing. It didn't help that he had a horrible sense of
direction.

Lt JG Michael "Tom Tom" Howard

=========================================

Engineering 101!!!

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."

Lt JG Gustav "The Tinker" Kroitzer & Ens Mimi "Plan Ahead" Hopeler

=========================================

The Easy Way Or The Hard Way???

Athena poked the burly man's chest with her index finger, "Well, I
suggest you go and get her permission because the Captain just ordered
me here to help... and unless you want me to flip you flat on your
back and then have you explain it to the captain from there you'll
move you ass through those doors and tell the Commander I'm here."

Cmdr Athena "The Hard Way" Wellington

=========================================

20 A Day

Hurrying to ODCC {being late was never good, since one
stands out of the line}, Dexter walked into the room a bit
out of breath. He needed one or two more breathes before
saying: "Sir, reporting as ordered". {Damn, when I was in
the gym for the last time? Hmm ... can't remember}

Lt JG Martin "You Leave Me Breathless" Dexter

- 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).

[USS Chimera] SD 240901.24 SB Unity. Duty Log: Cmdr Ohmsford / Stephen Jacobs

rangi.summers@mojwap.sk wrote to chimera@ucip.org:


= SB Unity, 1TF Section - Chief Counselor's Office =


Bren arrived at Stephens' office in time for his
appointment. Although he was a bit pressed for time
preparing for the upcoming mission, he figured it was
probably best to get it over and done with.


"Good afternoon, I have an appointment with Dr Jacobs," Bren
said as he approached the reception desk.

"Certainly Sir," the young woman who had greeted him
replied. " The Doctor is waiting for you."
She pressed a button and announced Brens arrival and a voice
answered that he be sent in.

Stephen was seated at his desk busy with some work but
raised his head as the door opened and stood from his seat
as the newcomer entered.

"Stephen Jacobs." he said holding out his hand to shake.
"Please, take a seat. The chair or the seating area,
whichever you like."


"Bren Ohmsford, good to meet you Dr Jacobs," Bren replied,
shaking the offered hand. He opted for the chair in front of
the doctor's desk and sat down. It was comfortable enough,
but Bren did feel a little ill at ease in the chief
counselor's office, which was strange since he once served
as a counselor himself.


"I'm sure you know the reason for this meeting." Stephen
said in friendly tone."..so why not just tell me five things
about yourself and three about your work?"
His expression seemed to say that his request was simple and
straightforward. " Would you like a drink?" he added.


"No thank you, I'm fine," Bren said as he thought about

Jacobs' question. Five things about himself and three about
his work.

Shifting a little in his chair, he said, "All right, five
things about myself.
I've been happily married for almost
five years and I feel I'm lucky that I can have my partner
on the same base as myself.
I have seven siblings, we are
eight children and I'm the youngest of triplets. Three of my
siblings are also in Starfleet. I wish I had time to see my
family more, but most of them are scattered over the Alpha
Quadrant, so it's a little difficult to get them all
together.
I love food and enjoy cooking... a little too much
maybe," he joked, patting his belly.
"I also enjoy playing
music but I haven't done that in a long time.

"As for my work... I really enjoy it. I served in R&D for
quite some time and it was challenging and rewarding. With
the war I was reassigned here and it's exciting in a way to
be on the front lines again; takes me back to when I first
joined Starfleet," Bren smiled.
"Before R&D I briefly served
as the Chimera-B's CO during a rather interesting
mission..." he trailed off as he remembered the
transdimensional device and their meeting with their doubles
in a parallel universe.
The device was still kept safely
under lock and key in the R&D Artifacts Vault and intrigued
all of the scientists who'd come into contact with it.


" How do you see your life develping now you're here?"
Stephen wanted to know.

"I suppose it depends on how the war goes," Bren replied.
"Commodore Guzman has tasked me with setting up a shipyard
to serve the starbase, and as long as 1TF stays on the base,
I'm sure it will keep me busy.
I think Unity will become
quite busy within the next few years. It's essentially, in
my opinion, something that has been needed in this region
for a long time in order to facilitate communication with
the Romulan and Klingon Empires, as well as with the
Erassian government and several other nearby governments.

"Sorry, I'm digressing a bit," he apologised. "But I see
myself staying on Unity for quite a while - barring any
unforseen events - because I feel I can be more of use here
than behind a desk in an office building somewhere on
Earth."

Stephen listened to the flow of explanation, ideas and
hopes, gaining an impression of the man sitting opposite to
him. He took in the expression and the tone which
accompanied the words and began to build an image of Brens
character.


"How am I doing so far? Don't think I'm insane yet?" Bren
smiled.


Stephen laughed aloud and he shook his head. " No, I don't
think you're anywhere near that." he said and chuckled as
though Bren had somehow said something extremely funny.
Eventually he spoke, though his eyes still smiled at the
humour.

" Anything you want to discuss?" he asked.

Bren thought for a moment about the question. There was
perhaps a lot he could discuss: the situation of the war,
how it affected Federation citizens and Erassians and
possibly impacted on many other political powers and
governments within the region, all whom had little say in
what was happening. But, this session was about him
personally, so he declined the offer.

"No," he replied with a smile, "Nothing specific at this
stage."

Stephen stood up and reaching across the desk, offered his
hand for Bren to shake. His grip was firm as he said: " It's
been a pleasure meeting you."

Surprised, Bren stood up and shook Stephens' hand. "That's
all? It was rather quick," he smiled.

Stephen returend the smile. " I learned all I need to know
for the time being." he said in a pleasant tone."...but if
you wish to lodge a complaint...."
The smile turned to grin.

"Not complaining at all," Bren laughed. "It was a pleasure
meeting you, Doctor. Have a good day."

"You too Commander." Stephen replied, sitting back on his
seat as Bren headed for the door.

[USS Chimera] SD 240901.24 | SB Unity | Joint Log, Cmdr Rodgers (HPed) & MCapt T'Vel (CMO)

OOC:  I went ahead and sent Mai, hope you don't mind. :)

= SB Unity - Infirmary - Pediatrics =

T'Vel's last stop for the day was Pediatrics. It was one of the smaller units of the Infirmary, but it was doing well in the hands of MaiKai Rodgers. Being a mother undoubtedly gave the Lieutenant Commander an affinity with children that was needed when working with them. Although not too many children were on Unity, there was a sizeable population on the planet that made use of the advanced medical facilities of the Starbase.

Stepping inside the wing, T'Vel headed towards MaiKai's office at the end of the ward but found her instead next to a biobed talking with a child.

"Commander Rodgers," T'Vel greeted her with slight nod of her head. "I trust you are well today?"

"Alright, Johnny. That'll be all for the day. You may go back to your mother," Mai gave the young boy a few pats on his back and let him jump down from the biobed.
 
"I am thank you," Mai replied almost automatic.  There really wasn't much thought to that reply.  "May I be of some assistance?"
 
"I have come to see how your department is faring," T'Vel replied. "I do my rounds at the end of each shift in order to visit every department at least once per week. Today I have come to you. How are the children doing? Any difficult patients?"

Mai smiled wryly, "The children are doing quite well. Nothing I can't handle really".

"Human children are not often the easiest patients to deal with, I have found," T'Vel replied dryly.

MaiKai laughed.  Having one of her own and having one of her patients already try and kick her she knew all too well. "That may be".
 
"Vulcan children are similarly difficult when they are at a very young age, before they learn the discipline of logic," T'Vel said in reply, then turned her attention back to the department. "Are you satisfied with the facilities, Commander?"

"Yes, I don't seen any reason to complain,"  Mai replied true to form.  She found the facilities rather accessible.

"And the size of your ward? Do you feel you need more staff or more room to treat patients?"

"The size suits fine.  I haven't run into anything problematic where I would need more staff or room to treat patients," Mai suddenly felt like she was being grilled for answers and ran her head across her forehead.
 
Satisfied, T'Vel nodded. There weren't many patients currently in MaiKai's department and things were going smoothly. "That will be all then, Dr Rodgers," T'Vel said. "I will leave you to your duties. Please let me know if there is anything that you require."
