OOC: Ok so this is for anyone who thinks they may be involved either directly or indirectly Maintain, Building, designing, or operating the containment cells. But I can only get so many characters in the topic before its too big. Feel free to pop a message on the discord if you want in, we’ll try and give everyone a chance to get involved so for this post the posting rules apply (order of posting and using the @Tag Function in discord for directed questions.)

IC:

Ryder was watching over the shoulder of the RTF operator who was currently on duty and watching the feeds to the Containment cells across all decks, the Trill XO often avoided coming here but today he had a purpose. Meet with the men and women who would have to on a day to day either build, maintain or operate around the cells and come up with some working relationship. For too long they had been RTF or Starfleet, today Ryder hoped to bring them together and finally be ‘one crew’.

The ships were intentionally a giant time bomb if it wasn’t operated by the brightest and smartest but worst if it wasn’t operated by people who didn’t see each other as rivals or the enemy. Taking his eyes away from Dave he crossed his arms and waited for the room to fill. It wasn’t the biggest rooms but it could hold up to ten people without being too uncomfortable and Ryder didn’t anticipate staying here. He wanted a tour.

• Commander Raauhl, XO

“Morning, Dave, mind if I observe you having breakfast?” McHarrie called out as he entered the room. He then saw the XO in the room.

“Oh, good morning, Commander,” McHarrie said genuinely surprised to not be alone.

“Hey, Dave, you’re not two-timing on me, are you?” he asked it.

-McHarrie

The commander couldn’t help but chuckle, it was odd to see someone so at ease with something like Dave on the same deck as them. “Oh don’t worry Commander he is certainly all yours. I actually came here for you, and we should be joined by our Chief Engineer and some others shortly if you have time to answer a few questions and concerns I have been having.” Ryder Smiled, he was trying to be genuinely invested into the RTF side of the ship.

• Commander Raauhl, XO

Appreciating the XO’s humour, McHarrie wondered how far he could take his own sense of humour before offending the Trill.

“Well that’s quite a crowd, but I’ll try anything once,” he replied with a cheeky grin

Stone never liked being late, so she made sure she was amongst first to arrive. Carrying with her was the padd CE Hampton gave her that contained the specs to the containment room, just in case it was needed.

“Good morning, commader Raauhl, McHarrie.” She nodded to the both men present.

“Good morning, Lieutenant,” McHarrie acknowledged.

She looked briefly at the entity called Dave as well, but the thing did make her uneasy, so she looked away nearly immediately. Not wanting to turn her back turned to that thing, she made sure it was in her peripheral vision so she could keep an eye on it.

Lt. Andrea Stone, COS

“He’s quite something, isn’t he?” McHarrie asked.

Walking in the room, Erve held a cup of coffee when the sight of Dave made his whole body gulp and perhaps pour some of the coffee on the floor “Oh gods! Morning gents, what a beautiful view… last time I saw this beast he almost chewed me.” With him he had few items: a PaDD, his beloved rail-hand gun and the reactive plating installed on his chest. Usual Captain Manhattan’s load-out “So I lost something important?” Asked to the Commander sipping some of the hot beverage.

M. Capt. Erve Manhattan - RCO

McHarrie with held the remark about shooting first. He wasn’t sure the Marine Captain would appreciate it, or react in a favourable or light-hearted manner that would’ve been intended.

Several seconds after Manhattan arrived the doors opened yet again. This tome stepping was William Hampton, Padd in hand. As he walked to where his colleagues were he looked at Dave with disgust. “Someone needs to explain me why we haven’t beamed that monster into space yet.” He said once he made his way to the group. “Or for that matter, why he is even here.” Hampton was not afraid of Dave simply because he had designed the containment field. His faith in his work allowed him to be comfortable with the feeling that Dave could not escape.

LT. William Hampton-CE

Stone just shrugged at Hampton’s question. She liked the teleportation idea though. Perhaps they could rig something like that as well.. if anything busts out of their container.. simply get them beamed out of the ship.

Lt. Andrea Stone, COS

“Because being him into space may simply… piss him off?” McHarrie asked, “He’s probably already pretty annoyed at us.”

“Thankyou all for coming” Ryder started in the hopes gaining all the attentions, “It has come to my attention that while we are all brilliant at our own individual fields as a crew we are sorely lacking in team cohesion. There I wanted to bring us together, to discuss the roles and how best to integrate our Starfleet personnel with RTF Personel” The Trill pointed to each respected member Starfleet and then to RTF with his hand. “We are going to need to learn to work together effectively and come up with healthy solutions. Our main goal is to contain not kill” He looked this time to Hampton, “Dave will be with us until we return to the Starbase in which all our cells will be emptied ready for a fresh bout of anomoloies. So does anyone have any questions they want to ask myself or Captain Manhattan”

• Commander Raauhl, XO

“Can Starbase contain him adequately? There are a lot of civilians there,” McHarrie asked.

-McHarrie

“Starbase has a separate large building to contain most of the anomalies we find on the way. You just need to think about that the largest thing put in there is an entire asteroid large 450 meters and weighing some 30000000 tons. So yeah, Dave fits in the compound and we have high tech for every kind of anomalies known up to date. No worries for his safety.” The Captain explained with a sip of coffee “other questions?”

M. Captain Erve Manhattan - RCO

“Yeah I got one, what are we doing? Is this some sort of coffee social? Because I didn’t bring my mug.” Hampton snipped impatiently. “If you want integration give us a task to integrate with, don’t just call us in for a meaningless chat. There is a lot distrust between our two groups, and a couple moments of small talk is not going to fix that.” Hampton felt the bluntness was called for in the moment, as he was very annoyed with the situation. “There are operations that need to be carried out on this ship, so if this is a meet and greet, I’d like to get back to work.” The engineer was clearly frustrated. “We have no reason to keep organic specimens alive once they serve their purpose, we capture them, extract what we need or deliver them to someone else who can, and then we dump them.” He looked around the group and shrugged. “Shouldn’t need a lot of cohesion for that.” The social aspect was clearly effecting Hampton. The meeting was just informal enough to make him very uncomfortable, and yet just formal enough to where he knew he could not just leave.

Lt. William Hampton- CE

Stone could finally see, why Hampton was labeled as ‘difficult and hard to work with’. Luckily she knew better. He was quite helfull when she visited engineering on her own, and he provided with good intel.

“I think we’re about to find out, why we were asked here.” She tried to lighten the mood a little.

Lt. Andrea Stone, COS

“Hey hey hey, chill my little friend. I guess the XO have called us here not only for some chit chats. And I know we have some issues here and there, but I guess that it can be fixed with some sane collaboration. This or Dave, if you know what I mean.” He smirked to the CE “Second, we ain’t an association that kills living being. They gives us what we want, WE and I highlight we, them live. Understood, Lieutenant or I need to be more clear?”
Said so he laid down the still half-empty, half-filled cup and crossed his arms, a bit bugged, a bit giggling for this sort of early argue he always loved to have with his security officer when he was still a CoS. Good old time

M. Capt. Erve Manhattan - RCO

“This is the exact thing I am talking about people,” Ryder said breaking the conversation. “We have people who just want to go gunhoe on the anomalies, some people who want to learn from them, and others who just want to capture and return.” He let out a sigh, “But thank you Lieutenant Stone and Captain Manhattan yes I have brought here in light of this mission and future mission, because only working together successfully may get us from one anomaly to the next. SO to that end, I want the Lieutenant Commander here to take charge of the actual containment projects. That doesn’t mean you all cant come up with your own ways but the penultimate decision will fall to our on-site Consultant-Researcher and your first task is to work together to create a default but interchangeable portable containment system, something that can be deployed in the field and adaptable, given our situation. I recommend using KAI9 to either pull or something. I don’t know, that is why I’m leaving it to you.”

• Commander Raauhl, XO

“One shoe doesn’t fit all,” McHarrie offered, “We need a variety of containment solutions depending on the anomaly in question. It needs to be scaleable, and daee I say it? Humane?”

-McHarrie

“I like Humane, we should just regard these anomalies as monsters Miss Gen is a perfect example of such anomalies and while I don’t want us to become a safe haven for such anomalies we also don’t have to be prison wardens either. Anyone else suggestions, comments, complaints?” The executive officer asked looking to the others in the room, “What security risks are we facing?” He asked more pointedly to stone.

• Command Raauhl, XO

“The room is always monitored by a security officer. The containment pods themselves are protected by level 10 force field with their own, secondary power supply as well as attached to main power grid. There’s also a work in progress including a secondary force field. There are also some additional possibilities how to increase safety of the Abell level but those are still to be seen.”
She looked quickly at Hampton as she wasn’t certain, he wanted to share his airlock or bomb idea already.

“But since we’re dealing with unknown… it’s hard to predict, if this will be enough or not. The anomalies could have a lot of unknown abilities. Some could go through a field with ease. It will no doubt come to researchers and engineers to figure out how to keep them here.”

Lt. Andrea Stone, Cos

Humane, that word disgusted Hampton. Treating anomalies like people was a putrid thought, and the trill was recommending that. He simply swallowed a grumble while listening to the people around him babble on. When Stone began talking about security details, Hampton was worried that she was going to talk about his fail safe plan. He was relieved when she did not, and subtly shook his head at her when she looked to him. That was a private project for the time being, and he didn’t feel like getting ANOTHER lecture from one the insufferable officers in his company at the moment. After Stone finished, Hampton jumped back in. “We really don’t have any security risks at the moment, there are three contingency plans, security staff, and internal alerts set up in the case of some sort of containment failure.” Hampton really could not see the point of this meeting, nothing was being accomplished, and it seemed Manhattan and Raauhl were just using the moment to grandstand on morality.

“Yes, and then there is the fail-safe for worst case scenarios,” John said, “Don’t look surprised Lieutenant. One, I’ve read the spec of my lab and two, you wouldn’t have done your job right if there wasn’t one. As much as I hope such systems are never used, I understand their necessity.”
