Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

Jonas' heart quickened a bit in response to D'Vassa's close proximity. He didn't know what it was exactly, but he found the Orion to be...very alluring. With a deep breath to steady himself, he smiled at her. "As you say, it is all a matter of perspective." Jonas' voice is low as he continues. "And you are correct: I have seen some horrible things. But you are here, as I am here...so despite what you have seen, you must still consider Federation service to be worthwhile?"

As Lt. Winters hands the small diagnostic PADD over to Dr. Sandecker, who then reviews the data on the PADD, and states.

"You definetly have some sort of interference with the buffer systems. Lets go downstairs to the Main Computer Core and see what we can find there."

Dr. Sandecker turns around to walk out of the HC&C with Carsi following closely behind him. Chief Nakamura's eyes meet his just for a second, and with a questioning shrug, the Chief follows them out of the large holographic room.

Almost somewhat offended that Dr. Sandecker could figure out that there's interference on the drop of a dime and it's taken Winters hours to get to that point, the Lieutenant takes Nakamura's mindset and shrugs it off, at least partially thankful the help and a fresh set of eyes.

Stephen had on one hand hoped to be done in time for the dinner, but on the other hand the large gathering and meet and greet of new people made the engineer nervous. He wasn't the big social butterfly in the group, but that's probably somewhere in his personnel file.

"Yes, I do find it rewarding. But at the same time, I am asked to do things that do not represent the most shining ideals of the federation."

"Sometimes it is very hard to know whether the order is justified before we commit to it. It would help to know what the big picture is, but like the fleet commanders, they can not spend the time to explain all their orders before sending their ships out. Somewhere along the way, I think the ideals get taken from their bright shining places, and brought down to the dark murkiness of reality."

After watching Dr. Sandecker for a minute, your not sure if he truly sees where the interference is coming from. He is checking systems that you have cleared from being the cause of it.


"Cherok to Winters, this is the extra time I promised before calling the others." comes across the communicator.

OOC: Sorry, I lost track of this thread over the last couple of days.


Hale smiles. "Unfortunately, not being included in the 'big picture' is a part of being involved in any military hierarchy. When we make it to Admiral someday, then we'll finally know what it is all about." He shrugs. "Until then, we just have to follow our orders, assuming those orders are morally and legally sound."

CMO Crescent, Personal Log, Stardate 47XXX.X

I find myself in the space again, aboard the Ascendant. It is nice to notice that one of my top students from the academy is working as my second on board. I have managed to put my office in shape and it is soon time for the dinner with the captain. I am not enjoying these new dress uniforms we are testing however. The fabric itches. I will have to remember to report this to the design team contact.

[sblock=OOC]Just random chatter to notify that I'm still around . Crescent is just preparing for the dinner... Oh, I didn't notice you to specify the stardate so I just left the extra digits unspecified. Since it is 2370 the date does hit between 47000 and 47999[/sblock]

Cleaned up and changed Benson heads off to dinner. "A little early but a walk will do me some good before I have to mingle." He says to himself. Walking over to the nearest control panel he asks, "Computer?"



[sblock=ooc] Still here. [/sblock]

"My name is Carsi, Ensign Benson.", the voice comes from behind him. Slowly turning around, Benson, sees a dark-haired vulcan in a dark green starfleet uniform with no rank insignias behind him. "How may I help you?"

"How would you like me to teach you some of my world, Jonas?", she said softly. "Then you can teach me some of yours. Maybe working together we can catch a glimpse of the big picture. Why dont you meet me at 0600 in the morning at Holodeck 3.2 and we can work on some of the practice exercises that I train with?"

Across your commbadges, the voice of the Commander comes across "All Senior Staff, please report to the Formal Reception Room for dinner."

 

[HolyMan]

"Wha? Oh no I wasn't talking to you son. I was talking to the computer." Benson says in reply. *twingik* "All Senior Staff, please report to the Formal Reception Room for dinner."

"Drat, I was hoping to hit the lounge before dinner. Computer," Benson says turning his back on the vulcan and addressing the wall panel. "Where is the Formal Reception Room?"

"And why is there even one on a warship?" he mutters to himself outloud.

"How would you like me to teach you some of my world, Jonas?", she said softly. "Then you can teach me some of yours. Maybe working together we can catch a glimpse of the big picture. Why dont you meet me at 0600 in the morning at Holodeck 3.2 and we can work on some of the practice exercises that I train with?"

Across your commbadges, the voice of the Commander comes across "All Senior Staff, please report to the Formal Reception Room for dinner."

As the commander's voice comes over the commbadge and interrupts the conversation, Jonas merely smiles at D'Vassa. "Well, it looks like I have to go. But I would love to meet you in the morning...I'll see you at 0600?"

 

[knightemplar]

"Your not going to get away from me that easily, Jonas. Since I am also a member of the senior staff, would you escort me to the dinner?" As D'Vassa walks through the door to enter the Deck 3 hallway, they see Ensign Benson standing at the wall with a small vulcan female behind him.

The small vulcan female reaches her hand out and taps Benson on the shoulder. "Ensign Benson, I am Carsi, short for Library Computer Access and Retrieval System Incarnation. May I escort you to the Formal Reception Room?"
