After the events of the previous adventure it was time for the Challenger to continue working its way home. It was only a couple of months away from home, and as an academy ship was required to return to Sol frequently to exchange crew.

Rear Admiral Jensen had been very clear with the captain there was to be no detours, Challenger was to come straight home. It had a science mission waiting for it with the new class of cadets. No more running crates around or plants or rescue missions. There was Science to be done!

Under these conditions there was an understandable level of stress to make sure the trip was as uneventful as possible. If only that could be assured.


As Commander Holmman began to wake up, he felt the warm water of the hot tub on his skin first, the jets causing it to splash against his skin, waking him from his slumber. The next thing he noticed was the raging headache. After that he probably noticed was the strong smell of rose petals and the body of a dead ensign floating face down in the hot tub next to him. A lot to digest in short order while still groggy and disoriented.

In the end it didn’t matter. The XO of a Star Fleet Academy ship was hung over and naked in a hot tub with a dead ensign.

Eric grimaced as he squinted his eyes opened, slowly trying to piece together his surroundings. He was sitting in a pool of water? No, the hot tub in his quarters. Wait, why was he in the hot tub? And why did his head hurt so much? What happened last night? He hadn’t had a night like that since his early days as an officer…

Eric looked down. There were rose petals in the water with him. ‘Okay, really,’ he thought to himself, ‘what was he up to last night?’

He looked to his side, and saw the dead ensign. Eric’s training kicked in, although his reflexes were slowed by the hang over he was suffering from. He pulled the body out of the water to the side of the hot tub, and began checking for life signs. =^= Computer, contact Sickbay! There’s a medical emergency. Possible drowning.=^=

Realizing there were no life signs, he started the CPR he had been trained in. He hadn’t dried off, and his movements caused water to spray out from the hot tub. Taking a moment, he looked at the entire situation. =^= Computer, contact Lieutenant Rainns. There’s an emergency in the XO’s quarters. =^=

Eric went back to his efforts, knowing they were futile…

Did he even recognize the ensign? (OOC: GM, does he?)

-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO
