Josh Herrick/After Action Reports: Difference between revisions

For Josh's first mission, he was posted to the bridge by Commodore [[Ossa V'Airu]] to observe an unusual nebula phenomena that had entered the Esh-o system ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/YytyxcmG1XU/m/4TOEcxnVAgAJ 1]). An unintended side effect of being in the nebula was that the crew's emotions had started to become erratic ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/SRiUQ2JSrHQ/m/YPD2K9U2BAAJ 2]). The crew started to investigate both the cause of the phenomena, and identify potential sources, with Herrick identifying that x-rays and omicron particles were hitting the hull, Herrick sent out a probe to get more details and re-establish contact with the away team, while also suggesting a warp core resonance burst to try to counter the effects of the nebula ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/lXyNzXGtpds/m/8vZw9af-BAAJ 3]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/RlzNETygT28/m/1st0UeGFAAAJ 4]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/frEx0229Vzk/m/-6258pDjAQAJ 5]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/x_Q_HsrbMDc/m/x25pWO5cAgAJ 6]). As the team tried Herrick's idea of the burst, it had no result [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/b10lthPkq7U/m/xkgg-Mn7AwAJ 7]). Finally, [[V'Len Kel]] was able to use a cure his team was working on to help remediate the effects on Josh and the others ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/-cBu7E561kE/m/gigq0SSYAQAJ 8]).

While the shuttle had crashed into an arboretum in the colony, the team had made it through relatively unscathed and Josh had his first encounter with the Esh-o kind ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/gf12K2E5o4c/m/J6bYVeM9CQAJ 13]). The away team and Esh-o leaders explored options, evacuation being unviable, they elected to try splitting the asteroid using mines ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/hdotPEQNpqM/m/DmTZmmFeAAAJ 14]). As power fluctuations rippled through the colony, the team took on the task of investigating them as well ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/aOVEwXGIwys/m/0lkZuX7DAQAJ 15]). When they entered the mines and proceeded to the main core reactor, they encountered a fierce and winged beast. Josh and the away team worked to subdue the beast, trying to calm the Esh-o's plea to kill it, and narrowly escaped with their lives ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/2zTx85YizHs/m/SxlQEeiiAwAJ 16]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/bW9k8b0Ggek/m/Zx2eQyajAwAJ 17]). After gathering some more volunteers to strategically place mines at points that would break the asteroid apart, the rode the compact mine carts, where the tight quarters caused Josh's claustrophobia to flare up, to reach and place the mines in strategic positions to split the asteroid, but before they could finish, they were held up by shapeshifters and barely escaped ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/Y8wPp5g569Q/m/rmOWaS9_BAAJ 18]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/Zj5L9VxcAIE/m/ezmwpDgDBQAJ 19]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/jvuHEdInPkk/m/esbb_ln6BQAJ 20]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/EY8KHkdmkuA/m/tUS_wbecAQAJ 21]).

To aid in bonding with fellow lower deckers, Josh was invited to the JOPA where he met many of the junior officers he'd be working with in the future and was encouraged to pull a prank on one of the senior officers but wasn't quite sure what might be an appropriate one that wouldn't land him in too much hot water ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/xFr4S4kKUXw/m/S7KGMhHHAAAJ 13]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/6wJOJoZ0KcE/m/7i81rFHMAAAJ 14]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/kNVk1KSHLlw/m/0FufsYrMAAAJ 15]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/ggxXxFkDllo/m/8LCr3MvMAAAJ 16]). After his recovery, there was an attempt by an officer from Humanoid Resources, Lieutenant Commander Klaaf, to put him on report for a Form B-74-Tango following the incident in the jefferies tube, but he was quickly dispatched by Commander [[Etan Iljor]] ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/h8VNFeNHR1o/m/CNY1rrC4AQAJ 17]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/M_VDekNsK7g/m/KUX1CuJdAgAJ 18]). He also had a brief run in with the [[Charles Tyber]], a security officer onboard who seemed unable to wake up from a deep slumber, and luckily kept his life ([https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/8LL9ScObU-o/m/OU4wqrLpAQAJ 19]|[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/DlxMkK2dOZM/m/wS99TpZgAgAJ 20]). The crew finished shore leave with an awards ceremony, where there many officers were decorated for the achievements on the mission previous to Josh coming aboard.
