Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

"What is the problem that you think that my systems need adjustment?", Dr. Sandecker says as the avatar of Carsi appears back in the room.



As Jonas is putting away his possessions, he stops for a minute as he picks up the small award case that contains his Medal of Honor for his actions at Wolf 359. He is lost for a second in thought. The door chime rings out across the room. He closes the case that contains the award, and thoughtfully strides over to his compartment's door.

As he opens the door, there in front of him is Lt. D'Vassa holding her uniform in one of the specialized hangers for it as well as a towel.

"I am sorry to bother you Lt. Commander, but it seems my shower is broken. I was wondering if I could borrow yours? I can still feel the presence of that planet down below and want to have a nice cool shower before we meet the Commodore."



As Rapheal is relaxing in the chair, he has picked up his datapad once again for reading about the Excalbians. The door chime on his door goes off. It takes two or three times for the door chime to alarm, before he realizes that it is going off. Still reading the datapad, he goes to the door to find a small human female with dark hair and striking emerald color eyes.

"Doctor Crescent, I am so sorry to bother you, sir. ", This is the young student Mala Corwin, that he remembers from the Academy. She is holding a large PADD close to her chest with both of her arms in an X-pattern in front of it.

" I remember how you like to review material ahead of time, so I downloaded all the current medical files from Starfleet on the assigned members of the crew to bring to you." , she slowly pulls the PADD away from from her chest and hands it over to Rapheal. She then starts to slowly back away from him until there is about five feet in between them.

[sblock=Dr. Crescent] From your psychology classes and experience she is a confusing young lady that is scared of you but wants to prove herself to you as competent. Yet, there is another conflicting emotion there that you can not exactly pin down.

From what you remember of Mala from the Academy, she was a quiet and intelligent young lady, but was quite confident. She actually scored quite well in public speaking, so this behaviour is well out of the norm for her.

On the Datapad these are the major things you note:

Commander Cherok - physical therapy recommendations from Starfleet

Lt. Commander Hale - His spleen has been replaced by an artifical filtering pump that needs to be checked every so often.

Lt. D'Vassa - regulary submits to special shots once per week to keep her pheromone levels down.

Petty Officer Vendris - has a broken arm, but allergic to the bone stitcher tool.

Hale is taken a bit by surprise, but manages to cover it with a smile and a nod. "Of course, Lieutenant. Please come in..."
 

"Ah, miss Corwin, do come in." The doctor invites with a warm smile. "Sit down. Some tea perhaps?" He isn't even listening to the reply, instead just ordering two teas from the replicator as he places the PADD to the desk. "I'm delighted to have such competent staff. So how has your first assignment been so far?"
 

"Thank you, Lt. Commander Hale.", the young green-skinned lady says, as she hangs her uniform up near the shower. "I do not mean to interrupt, but I do appreciate the use of your shower."

As she ducks back into the bathroom area, Jonas hears the water from the shower start in the background.

"Lt. Commander, may I call you Jonas in private?", shouting to be over the water, D'vassa calls. "If I may be frank, I was rushed through the academy at the request of SI (Starfleet Intelligence). I spent a lot of my time doing deep cover missions within the Triangle. I was hoping that I could come to you for advice if I had any problems or concerns."

Ensign Corwin enters into Dr. Crescent's quarters and sits down in the comfortable chair across from Rapheal's private desk. "Chamomile tea please.", she says as she nervously starts running her hand through her hair.

"So far, it has been nice and quiet, but not too many of the crew have reported in yet. The latest progress report I have read states that we will have a skeleton crew until we arrive at Starbase 39 Sierra, in which the rest of the crew will be assigned."

As Thy'vren sits down at his computer, he notices that he has an encrypted communication from his old friend, Dr. Harold Foster. As he brings it up, he automatically types in the password from memory.

Thy'vren,

I have looked at your last suggestions for the compensation of the temporal drive unit, but I am not sure if that will be enough. I have noticed that you are currently at Utopia Planitia. I would love for you to see the prototype unit currently testing at Jupiter station.

If you have a few days of leave coming, would you care to stop by and take a look at it? We are still having some problems with the system and your help would be greatly appreciated. Enclosed under our usual encryption keys are the theory and proofs as well as some of the test results that we have flagged as areas to still be improved on.

Your friend,

Harry

OOC: No worries at all. Compared to some mistakes I've made, a slightly wrong name is nothing! :D

"You are more than welcome to use my shower anytime," says Jonas, smiling at the beautiful woman. As she disappears into the bathroom and the water begins to run, he turns his attention back to organizing his room.

At her call from the shower, Hale moves closer to the door to make their conversation easier, but not near enough to invade upon her privacy. "Of course you can come to me with questions and concerns. And you can certainly call me Jonas in private. And do you prefer D'vassa?"
 

"Yes, thats fine. Can you hand me my uniform please?". The water in the bathroom has stopped, and you can see D'Vassa's hand sticking through the doorway reaching towards the uniform that she left out in the main room.
 


Raphael smiles a bit. He had asked her feelings and got a status report. It had been long since his time as an ensing but he imagined working with your former teacher must've felt awkward. Handing her the tea he sits back behind the desk. Trying to initiate some smalltalk to get her to relax he speaks after taking a long sip from his cup. Ah. Feels good to be back on a ship. You know, I never really liked the academy. The desk job and staying put. Not my cup. I realised I belong out here, among the stars.
