'''Mission #6: The Rings of Dialran''' | '''Mission #6: The Rings of Dialran''' | ||
Quentin's next operation found he and his crew discovering a millions of years old | Quentin's next operation found he and his crew discovering a millions of years old Nivian Ring set. Tasked with fixing the inner rings' skewed orbit, Quentin Collins started with a set of routine sensor scans and deflector pulse bursts. While The Captain dispatched a disguised Away Team to the surface of the affected biome, led by First Officer Randal Shayne, Quentin and the rest of the Bridge Crew continued to work from orbit. | ||
Their efforts were stymied however by the arrival of the Acen, a sort of custodian race that claimed ownership of the Nivian set and the vast amounts of salvage that surrounded the Rings. As the Captain attempted to negotiate with the Acen Captain, Captain Ojrea, the Acen ship fired upon the Eagle with broadsiding tetryon cannons. Blasted with tetryon interference, the ship then teetered close to the Rings' superstructure, activating a massive and powerfully draining security field that played further havoc with the ship's systems. | |||
Repositing, Quentin worked in conjunction with the ship's new TAC officer, LTjg. Melody Delri'ise, to reveal the power junction that fueled the tetryon cannons. Allowing Mister Delri'ise a firing solution, the ship knocked out the Acen's cannons and then swept their captain up in a bold beaming gambit overseen by Captain Oddas, despoisting the officer in her Ready Room. The Captain then ceded Command to Quentin as she entered "conference" with Captain Orjea, backed by Messrs Risha and Delri'ise. | |||
Lieutenant Commander Collins then attempted to tackle the ship's problems one by one. First, he set Commander Fiorr and new Engineering Ensign Rid Harris to balancing the ship's disrupted power flow. He then asked Helmsman Chloe Waters to "keep them aloft", keeping them far enough away from the Rings' superstructure as to not reactivate the security field but with enough room for evasive action should the Acen vessel attack again. Lastly, burned for a third time by the ongoing tetryon interference, he and Commander Adriana Morgan, on duty Ops/Comms officer, worked to counteract the tetryon interference pestering the ship. The pair planned to do it with a "static charge", clamping off the relay junctions to the EPS conduits and building enough of a charge to pulse through the ship and render the tetryons inert. | |||
But they were again stymied. But this time by a much bigger threat. The looming hulk of a Klingon D-7 drive section that was bearing down on them. And without the use of impulse engines or shields, the hulk would tear through the ship in a matter of minutes. Helmsman Waters suggested a bold plan. She would lead a wing of shuttlecraft, largely unaffected by the tetryon interference, and act as a sort of buffer between the ship and the wreck, allowing them time to effect repairs and restore impulse control. | |||
Though worried for his "friend" and "colleague", Quentin gave the Helmsman leave to attempt the buffer. The Bridge Crew worked feverishly as Waters' wing flew into position, throwing the buffer with the shuttle's tractor beams in sync with the Eagle's own tractor array (working despite compromised power levels). The gambit worked and allowed the ship precious moments to restore impulse engines and purge the tetryons, allowing Quentin and Commander Fiorr to then pilot the ship to safety (barring some scratches to the paint job). | |||
The Captain then relieved Quentin from Command and retasked him. It seemed the Acen were in need of a critical resource, the Grunn Fern, a sort of superplant that fueled their economy and industry. Working from Main Engineering, supported by Crewman Terumak and Ensign Ferentis of the Engineering Department, and escorted by Mister Risha, the group worked for a solution. The group then moved into Science Lab 4 in order to make use of the compartment's horticultural equipment and hydroponics lab. Quentin proposed a hybridization of the Grun and an inert dilithium crystal. Sewing the shard into the stalk of the Grunn, the group then planted it and attempted to speed up its maturation with energy saturations. | |||
But Quentin grew impatient with the lack of results and provided the hybrid a mighty growth catalyst; a low-power shot from a hand phaser. The unconventional fix worked and the hybrid of the plant and propulsion method was born. After a second successful test and a sharing of their methods and findings with Acen, Quentin was stood down, hopeful at the prospect of another strong alliance in The Wilds. | |||
It is of the opinion of these program(s) that LTCMMD. Collins continues to display a readiness for the work of an officer and willingness to stick to a problem for as long as possible in order to find a more lasting, responsible solution for the common good. It is also of the opinion(s) of this program that he continues to show an aptitude for Command situations, maximizing his time on the Bridge and deferring to his fellow officers in order to find the best possible action for the moment at hand. | |||
However, Quentin Collins continues to waste precious seconds considering the impact of his actions and commands on his "friends" and "colleagues", thinking far more with his heart than a true Commanding Officer should. He also continues to show a recklessness that is unbecoming of a Science Officer and could very well lead to deadly consequences and miscalculations should he continue to act impulsively. It is of the opinion(s) of these program(s) that should he sever his emotional connections and adopt a more practical and utilitarian mindset, he would bloom into a fine, functional Commanding Officer. | |||
Quentin Collins is now engaged in LEAVE and awaits transfer to a new vessel. | |||

-Prior to the "Brain Event", LTCMMD. Collins was examined by multiple Starfleet physicians, as well as the Academy's Chief Medical Officer and given clean bills of health by all. He also carries little to no genetic pre-existing conditions from his family, leading to the prognosis to stand out among his relatively benign medical history. | -Prior to the "Brain Event", LTCMMD.
