After jump he starts to wander around chatting with everyone, getting a feel for their conditions, making sure that no–one is suffering any ill effects from jump. Jump sickness was one of the first indications of a misjump. Although everyone is very tired, most of the crew seems to be in decent shape. But the Doc is a little concerned about Swann. Pulling Swann aside as discretely as possible Saro says, "Mr. Hellinic, I’m not one to give orders lightly, so consider this a strong recommendation by your friendly neighborhood ship’s doctor. Get some sleep. Now. If not sooner." He pauses and looks Swann steadily in the eyes, "You’ve done a great job so far, but this long day is starting to catch up with you and it’s not going to get better until you get some rest. I’d say at least six hours; more if possible." Swann looks at Doc, a smile on his face. "Doc, I like the way you think. I’m just going to grab something to eat, and then I’m going straight to bed. And thanks for your concern. You’ve been hard at it, too, and have done a great job organizing and sorting all those medical supplies. You should take your own advice and get some rest, too." Doc nods his head. "You are right about that. I'm headed to the Land of Nod soon myself. Doctor’s orders, don’t ya know." Grinning, the Doc heads off to his cabin. He places his medkit where he can grab it quickly if need be and then sets his personal comm to wake him up in six hours. Settling back on the bed he closes his eyes and lets the velvet darkness envelop him gently. After a quick snack, Swann also returns to his cabin and goes back to sleep after setting an alarm to awaken him in eight hours. -----Vargas walks onto the bridge, vacc suit helmet in hand. "Argent, assuming we make it out of jump OK, there's no way we can do this again without a lot of work on the J-Drive. There is no reason I know of why anyone needs to bathe in hydrogen or have their eardrums raped on a regular basis. Martha and I can start work as soon as we drop out, if that’s alright with you." Argent replies, "Not my idea of fun either, Vargas. I would have rather had the ship go through maintenance first personally. We hopefully should have the necessary downtime once we reach Alief, so plan on doing so. We need to make sure fleet command knows not to designate us as a jump–capable ‘ambulance’ while we do the repairs, though." "Also, do you plan on setting a watch up here while we're in jump ’cause I can cover it since I’ve gotten some rest." "I’ll set up a more formal watch schedule at the meeting later. Go change and grab something to eat. Come relieve me when you’re ready, sometime in the next two hours." Vargas nods. "Right, got it." The former Scout was soon back in his cabin, vacc suit plugged in for charging. Rusti clambers up onto his shoulder, then he heads out in the direction of the galley. -----Back on the bridge, Argent looks at Vasilii. "I think you can be relieved as well. Go get some rest and something to eat before the meeting." While waiting for Vargas to relieve him, Argent spends the time going over every gauge, monitor and readout, making sure everything is OK aboard the ship. Once Vargas returns, Argent then starts wandering the ship to check on everything, making note of what needs to be where and what other problems can be worked on during the week in jump. After those two hours, he grabs a meal from the lounge, then retire to his cabin for some more sleep and then some exercise in the confines of the ship. In the last few hours before the meeting, Argent continues his review of the ship, then has another meal.</blockquote>
