Yuri had just finished wiping down the surfaces in medical with his team when he heard the announcement. “Computer, begin monthly program Yuri-M once my bio signature returns to medical .” The task was a simple one, but due to it’s simplicity is what made it take a lot of time. What the computer would do is it’s monthy maintenance of decrypting, defragmenting, and encrypting the medical database again. During the whole process the database gets locked and cannot be accessed for any reason for security. It was the only real thing Yuri could thing up to trip up and waste the inspectors time as the Captain had asked us to do. Everything else was pretty much in order. Everything sanitized, instruments in their proper place, and level 3 containment fields in operating condition, providing if power was available for it of course. Unfortunately, the shipyard was old and didn’t have an emergency medical hologram installed. Several upgrades would be needed in order to retrofit even the early forms of the EMH. Holo-emitters would need to be installed throughout the shipyard instead of just medical, the lounge, engineering, and the holosuite. An upgrade to the database would need to be done as well in order to have enough resources and memory to hold the program as well. Yuri wasn’t quite one for dealing with admiralty, but he respected the leadership and understood the reason for inspections at least from the medical perspective. He couldn’t really say for any other department. “Make sure everyone is ready for Inspector General. Keep log PaDD at front desk for sick call visitors.”

Yuri went to the back where his office was to grab his dress coat that he prepared earlier and put it on, taking a quick look at himself in a small mirror he had in his office. He still wasn’t quite used to seeing the Lieutenant rank on it, but he wanted to ensure that he didn’t let the Captain down for the inspection or his orders to make this experience as unpleasant for the Inspector as possible. With a nod he headed to the Control Center and arrived a few moments later. “Good Morning Captain, Commander, Chief, Mr. Fer … Fur .. Feral-lack. My apologies, very hard to pronounce name. I hope you do not take offense.” Yuri’s expression was slightly worried. He’d been trying to, here and there get a better pronunciation for it, but his accent pretty much stopped it from sounding correct every time he tried to say his name.

Lieutenant Yuri Balashov (CMO)

Ferl’lak let out a small chuckle. “Quite alright my dear fellow. I don’t know if you realised but I can’t say your last name. That’s why I call you Yuri instead of Mr. Or Miss insert last name here, like I do the rest.”

Ferl’lak

Stout looked around. “So who are we missing? Ops and Science? Well, let’s hope they show soon. Mr. Balashov, would you kindly convey to our incoming guests that they may be delayed?” and then he turned and looked at directly at Yuri. “You do have that reason ready, correct, Doctor? Timing is a matter of value here.”

Yuri nodded, “Of course Captain, according to medical scans .. unidentified contagion has been found on vessel, most likely nothing serious, but we would like additional time to ensure safety of our minimal Serenity crew.” Yuri smiled slightly, felt kind of exhilarating to lie a bit. Though he of course had the crew as the number one priority. They couldn’t afford anyone to be sick, so wasting some time on extra precautions even though nothing existed .. was totally okay with him. “Could take about 30 minutes to an hour max. I can also stall on medical inspection as well.”

Stout looked at him blankly for a minute and then shrugged. “Well, you’re the Doc… Doc.” and he looked at the comms officer. “Hail the Interror.” and a few seconds later the comm officer said “Go ahead, Captain.”

Without standing, Stout looked up at the screen as the face of the Inspector General turned to look at him. Before he could speak, Stout said “USS Interror, Serenity Station. Captain Michael Stout commanding. Our scans have picked up a unknown contagion. Our Medical staff has asked me to hold your docking until we can verify the authenticity. As I am sure you are aware, Rear Admiral, regulations are quite specific regarding this. So I am ordering Traffic Control to hold you at your present position until we clear this up. I’m sure you understand. Shouldn’t be more than an hour or two.” and he gave the signal to cut the comms.

“Ok, kids. We have a couple of hours. What’s next on the agenda?” he asked the assembled staff.

Stout, CO

“How much time are we looking to stall here, Captain?” Omni inquired, raising an eyebrow over at the others. If the ‘medical procedure’ was going to take an hour, max, that gave them more than enough time to get things done. “Perhaps it would be best for departments to ensure they can organize whatever they can, to at least make it seem presentable. Of course, we don’t have many JOs at the moment, but I doubt the Inspector would be too please with finding things still lying around as we endeavour to figure details out, around here.” She knew it wouldn’t be of top priority, but in any inspection, first impressions were everything.

Lt. Cmdr. Omni
XO

“About an hour, XO. I think that should get the good Admiral’s dander up just enough…”

Woods gave the required greeting back to Yuri and the others as he watched the screen and the approach before he offered, “You know. I know a guy who knows a guy who can cause a power line fault in docking control.”

He shrugged at that, apparently feeling no further explanation was required.

CE Woods

“Let’s hold off on that as a parting gift, Mr. Woods. I imagine by the time we are through, an expeditious departure will be the most desired thing they will want. And I wouldn’t want them to think we got everything on line just because they were here…”

Stout, CO

Just then a wicked smile crossed Stout’s features. Tapping his commbadge, he said =/\= Command to Lounge. Ms. Notta, come to the Control Center immediately.” and he looked at the assembled crew. “Ok. I want each of you to focus solely on the tasks we have previously discussed. We are gonna have assistance in the interim ‘delays’ with a nice addition to the upcoming festivities.”

Stout, CO

=/\= On my way Captain. =/\= came, the response over the comms. It did not take long for Elizabeth to make good on her response. When Elizabeth stepped off the lift at the command center and looked around, “You called?” She asked with a wicked little smile on her full lips and a bottle of Romulan Ale in hand.

Elizabeth Notta, B&L Owner
