Emmy glanced around the bridge briefly and, deciding all was in order, turned to depart.
“Commander, you have the bridge. I will be in my ready room.”
- Davis, CO
“Understood, Captain,” Eric replied, as Davis left the bridge. Relaxing in his seat a bit, Eric pulled up on his monitor the protocols for securing the ship during civilian visits, making sure that they were forwarded to Security as well. He also made sure that the various department preparations were all to be forwarded to him as XO.
Notwithstanding all the stress involved in this rescue operation, Eric was looking forward to meeting some new faces. “Computer, display Starfleet records for the Ferox Thirteen colony”. (OOC: This may be similar to some of the information the counselor has pulled up, but I don’t think we’ve had a chance to share the info our characters have seen.)
-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO
Precisely two and a half days later, Emmy made the trip from her ready room to the bridge, one that she had made several times over the time period of the Challenger’s trip to the colony. While it wasn’t quite time for them to be arriving by her calculation, she wanted to be prepared for it and quickly strode to her chair in the center of the Bridge. “Status report,” she demanded of the cadet at the helm.
- Davis, CO
Eric was already on the bridge. He nodded at the Captain’s arrival, but he wasn’t surprised. He knew his CO well, and you could count on Davis being on the bridge well ahead of their arrival to be as prepared as possible.
Eric waited for the cadet’s reply to the Captain’s request before he himself spoke up. (OOC: I’m going to assume some of the research done elsewhere in the main sim has managed to make its way to the XO by now :) )
“Captain, I’ve been reviewing some of the research by Lofton, as well as Lieutenant Barr’s team. There’s something… unusual about this colony and the distress call. All communications seemed to have suddenly stopped for six months and that silence was only broken by this distress call - and even then, there wasn’t a whole lot of information given.”
The XO looked over at tactical before looking back at the Captain. “I think we should proceed with caution, Captain.”
-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO
