Main Sim - Bridge - NE Kahuna Steps Up

Posted July 20, 2021, 5:42 p.m. by Captain John Tiberius Glen (Captain) (David Fergusson)

[snip]

=/\= William, Glen here! Just to let you know that Tia is on her way back to you in the shuttle with Security NE Jeffries to see if the Alstaireans need any help with the sleeper ship. =/\=

William nodded to the Comm Officer =^=Understood, they’ve just requested some aid and I’ve started preparing teams for that effect, medical and engineering teams with Security Escorts=^=

=/\= Okay, expect them soon. Glen out! =/\=

=/\= Glen to Bridge. William, once that shuttle has docked with Tia and security, send the Doctor, Liz Jasper down in it again. I’d still like to keep us a shuttle down on the surface. Also, I think Liz would be interested in the Alstairean hospitals and medical facilities, and we will need to write a report on those for the Federation. =/\=

On the screen the returning shuttle was soon docked safely in the shuttlebay.

William stood up =^=Aye Captain=^= Was his only reply…

=/\= Oh! And if you intend going to investigate the Sleeper ship with Tia, who will have Command of the Merrimack in your absence? =/\= Glen asked. =/\= I’m not stopping it, but I still feel the Merrimack is vulnerable in this region of space. It needs to be someone with command experience, preferably a weapons officer if not a Bridge officer. let me know who and have them contact me when you leave. Glen out! =/\=

…Before closing the Channel “Comms, inform the Alstair that myself and the Chief Engineer will be joining them on the sleeper ship with our team” He nodded to himself before turning and leaving the Bridge, ordering the next down the chain of command to take Command in his absence.

When William left the Bridge, NE Kahuna took the Captain’s chair.

NE Kahuna was a former weapons officer with Bridge experience. He was a capable officer on a path for promotion who had sat in the ‘big chair’ before, but only during those long interstellar journeys at Warp 5 when nothing ever happened. Stil, nothing much was likely to happen today. Everyone else was off on a jolly, visiting interesting places in the sun, while he was stuck on the Bridge with that irritating Tellarite junior officer for company.

=/\= Captain Glen to the Merrimack! Come in Merrimack! Is that Lieutenant NE Kahuna? …Good! You have the Merrimack, Lieutenant. She is in your hands. Secure her and do not leave the Bridge. Find out what just happened down here? Full sensor scan sweeps! We have a medical emergency here at the Central Transport Hub! Doubtless multiple causalities, many probably serious and possible fatalities too! I smell fires and there will be widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. Possibly an explosion or an air attack by an unknown threat. I need answers quick! And maintain a full Amber security alert. Oh! And inform Lieutenant Ezial and Lieutenant Grey. You can do this! =/\=

Following instructions, NE Kahuna relayed the Captain’s message to the shuttle, sounded an Amber alert aboard the Merrimack, and instructed the NE at Science to perform the sensor scans. =/\= Lieutenants Ezial and Grey, this is NE Kahuna. The Captain says that there has been some kind of incident on Alstair; multiple causalities, some possibly fatal, fire and damage from an explosion. I’m performing scans and the Merrimack is at Amber alert. NE Kahuna out! =/\=

-NE Kahuna, (acting) senior officer
