On the bridge the turbo lift opened as Kiwa exited having received a cryptic message to report to the bridge. Kiwa could see the XO sitting in the Captains chair. A ensign stated aloud “XO a priority communication is coming on screen right now, I can’t stop it.” On the screen appeared Admiral Odora Fedel. Commander of Star Fleet Appointments. The screen had simply popped on as though no one could control it.

The admiral spoke in a deep voice for a female “Commander is your Chief Engineer on the bridge yet, I don’t have all day”

GM

After being quiet for a while until the XO was probably uncomfortable, Rujo Kiwa took pity on the Commander and said, “Yes, Admiral, I am. Are you assigning us some new Engineers? I was supposed to be fixing the malfunctioning EMH in the main sickbay when I got called to the bridge. Why have I been called to the bridge, Sir?”

-CE

The admiral took no time to mince words. “Actually Mister Kiwa, Star Fleet has decided that you are not fit to repair star ships any more. So apparently the only option I have left with you is this,” The Admiral stood up from his seat and loudly gave the command “Attention to Orders” at this the entire staff on the bridge came to the position of attention. “By order of Star Fleet Command Rujo Kiwa is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain and assigned as the Captain of the USS. Constellation” The Admiral adjusted his uniform slightly.

“I am … Watt?” Rujo asked incredulously, “me? A Captain … but I was supposed to be …,” Rujo decided that such a statement was not appropriate for a new Captain, and he stood slackjawed for a few seconds, before clearing his throat and drawing himself up to his full height, “I won’t let the Fleet down,” he concluded lamely, then, “will you be joining us, Admiral?”

“I realize Captain that it is unusual for this to occur over comms and not in person. But quite frankly every time I set foot on your vessel something strange happens around me. If I can keep from being anywhere near your ship I will. Your mission is simply go forth and do great things, explore, make contacts with new species… Pretty much anything that is normal for a Starship, but for gods sake keep that ship out of my space port”

The admiral had a look on his face like he was remembering something.... no one knew that he was remembering all the strange events that occurred on the Constellation while he was there.

GM

“As you wish, Admiral, I will do my best. I’ll be sure to make sure I only bring the ship in for repairs at Admiral McLean’s space port,” Rujo said, and then gave a complicated and non-too pretty salute … which pretty much looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/BOecWDN.gif . How Rujo did it without straining his wrist was unknown, but it seemed that he did so, maybe he had been practising it for just such an occasion.

Is there anything else, Admiral?” the freshly minted Captain asked, before gazing down at HIS chair in which the XO was still sitting.

-CO

As if on command the Captain’s chair lurched upward and forward. The XO was thrown out of the chair stumbling forward swinging her arms wildly but not falling over.

GM

Rujo moved swiftly, despite his sleep- and coffee-deprived senses and caught the XO before she could hit the deck. He then looked curiously at his chair.

“Has that happened before, Commander,” he asked out loud, then after a beat, he added, “could it possibly be possessed? I don’t want to take the risk of that being the case.”

He looked around the bridge, looking for the COO. He knew the officer was short, and despite Rujo’s best efforts to find him when they were CE and COO, he never could.

“Say, has anyone see the COO, Lt Ridge Parvenu? Is he on the bridge at the moment? Don’t move, anyone, I don’t want to risk someone stepping on him … the paperwork, you understand?”

Rujo ran his gaze over the bridge, it looked like this: https://www.star-fleet.com/images/awards/mythologybridge.jpg, and he said, “everyone, slowly, move to your normal place on the bridge and take up your normal positions.”

Then he tapped his combadge =/\= Crew, this is your new captain speaking. All Senior Officers are hereby ordered and required to report to the bridge immediately and take up your usual position. The last Senior Officer to arrive will be assisting the Chief of Waste Management for the next month in addition to your usual duties. Please be careful as you head here, we are currently unable to locate the COO, Lt Ridge Parvenu. I wouldn’t want anyone to step on him by accident or on purpose. Captain Kiwa out. =/\=

Rujo watched the turbolifts with interest to see who would arrive here first and last, and the positions they would all take up. “Junior Officers, you may join me here to watch the entertainment unfold as the DHs hurry to follow my instructions.”

  • CO

Jalel heard the call and ran out of his quarters after giving his wife and daughter Faye a kiss goodbye. His uniform shirt was very wrinkly. He stopped abruptly before the turbolift doors and waited for them to open. Suddenly it whooshed open. “Bridge!” he exclaimed. It hummed along towards the bridge. It whooshed open with a gentle hiss. “Cappy you wanted to see me?”

Davis, CTO
