Jovenan: Difference between revisions

Her introduction to the ship had to be postponed, as the ship was in middle of a diplomatic mission. After the delegates were poisoned, Jovenan joined the crew she didn't know yet to identify the source and find a cure. She met more of her colleagues during the following shore leave. The leave was however cut short as two officers went missing and were later kidnapped by a group of Klingons wishing to destroy the ''Excalibur''. Jovenan and her colleagues discovered data on their location and status, providing the bridge vital information that helped in avoiding the destruction of the ship. She was awarded her first service ribbons thereafter.

She first boarded the ship just before the ''Excalibur'' left [[Deep Space 224]] for a diplomatic mission. Since the senior officers were occupied with the important meeting, Jovenan's introduction to the ship had to be postponed until after the meeting. The ship ended up facing difficulties, during which Jovenan offered her assistance.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/LD1hU-GOKKk All this story needs is a confused ensign], Ens.

Working together with Counsellor Seta, Jovenan created a program that tested their hypothesis by subjecting holographic copies of the cells of the targeted individuals to the pathogen.<ref name="Jovenan239911.19" /> She also took a blood sample from Counsellor [[Gott]]. The blood sample analysis provided them with information that could help them device a cure to the pathogen to avoid future incidents.

Commodore [[Kali Nicholotti]] cut the shoreleave short and ordered the crew to return to the ship and the senior officers to report her.

In the Shuttlebay, she found out that the shuttlebay door was partially open and the forcefield was flickering due to the malfunctions. She chose a shuttle in a hurry.

=== USS ''Artemis'' ===

Their maiden voyage was to [[Meranuge IV]], where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra. Their relief efforts were cut short after the locals and telepathic crewmembers became aggressive under the effect of [[Da'allium]] dust. After the discovery of the cure and a shoreleave on the planet, Jovenan was promoted to Lieutenant JG. During a drill-turned-fight against pirates, Jovenan showed her skills in operating multiple different systems. She was then appointed the Assistant Chief Science Officer.

Commander Adea ordered Jovenan to report to his office together with Lt [[Vitor Silveira]] and the new Science Ensign [[Sela Kag]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/bOaIqugwivg New beginning, new deck layout], Ens. Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240002.20</ref> Commander Adea informed them they will be heading for the [[Da'al|Da’al]] homeworld, [[Meranuge IV]], where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra, killing estimated 10 000 people. The team would beam down to the Palace of Culture, which operated as an triage centre, and provide relief aid.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/M57TEwoof9Q/ The Roll Call of the Semi-Skilled], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240002.22</ref> After the briefing session, Jovenan was asked by Lt [[Talos Dakora]] to join him in the Astrometrics. Lt Dakora asked Jovenan to help him investigate why the meteor had hit the city without the locals' knowledge or reaction.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/xPvY2S-lnRs/ I always do my homework just before the class], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240003.01</ref> However, they had to leave their investigation as they approached the planet.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/MBf6UObRJDE/ Collision in a faraway orbit], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240003.03</ref>

After briefly meeting the new ensigns [[Savel]] and [[Flint Kader]], the team in sickbay learnt that the away teams had been in an explosion and had them beamed up. Jovenan had to face the Captain's questioning over the events that had occured to them, including Adea's aggression towards Kleebohn and Silveira and Jovenan's decision to beam them up and stun Adea.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/96K-obrFfsA/ Time to answer for our actions], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.08</ref> Jovenan joined Jones and Lt [[Hallia Yellir]] in effort to emit a pulse that could undo the effects of the "[[Da'allium|Da’allium]]" dust over the city. Working silently avoiding detection by aggressive Da’al, they were nonetheless noticed and attacked. She and Jones shot at the Da’al in order to stun them, as did Ensign [[Luxa Lorana]], who had unexpectedly joined them when the shooting began. The pulse was released, causing a wave of nausea over the team.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/RNQaR6SjMe8 To denounce the evils (of truth and love!)], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.13</ref> The pulse worked, and the team left the planet.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/UJ_vfmz-uuI/ Sunshine], Ens Jovenan, 240004.16</ref>

She invited the new Ensigns Savel, Kader and Lorana to join her for a camping trip to La'kso canyon on Meranuge IV.

During the shoreleave, she also took part in movie night with Hiro Jones, Luxa Lorana, Flint Kader and [[Vedic Koleth]]. They watched the Earth movie "''Troll 2''".<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/oEq8OrvYLvc/ Plans for the evening], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.28</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/v4IuzeibNqM/ More questions than answers], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.05</ref> She also received a subspace letter from her family, giving delayed congratulations for her graduation from the Academy and getting posted to a ship.

After the shoreleave, the ''Artemis'' headed to the [[Paulson Nebula]]. Commander MacKenzie informed the senior staff that in order to familiarize themselves with the ship they would conduct a tactical drill within the Nebula. The ''Artemis'' would engage in simulated space battle against {{USS|Berlin}}, a [[Reliant class]] cruiser on loan from [[Deep Space 224]]. Jovenan was assigned to remain on the ''Artemis'' and man the science station, while half of the senior staff took control of the ''Berlin''.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/jHpwhEUtT4E Drilling through the Nebula], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.27</ref> After a series of questions and tactical discussion, the crew took their stations and the ships entered the Nebula.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/n_LrS7DmT8k Yellow is mellow, red is dead], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.03</ref>

Back on the bridge, the bridge crew discovered another ship in the Nebula. Soon after them finding the ship, it opened fire against the ''Berlin''.<ref name="Let's safe the day" /> The ''Artemis'' moved closer to the Suliban ship to protect the ''Berlin'' from the enemy fire. To Jovenan's surprise, the Captain ordered her to take the tactical and fire the Suliban ship, despite her knowing how to use phasers only theoretically. After an initial shot of disputable success, she became enraged at their opponents, hitting them repeatedly until an alarm broke her concentration. The ''Berlin'' had backed out and was preparing to fire at the Suliban ship with torpedoes, risking damage to themselves and the ''Artemis''.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/DS73F92YuPY A flaming sword across the darkened land], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.13</ref> The ''Berlin'' hit both the Suliban ship and the gas surrounding it, damaging the Suliban ship further.

Later, Hiro invited her to a "sibling night" to his quarters.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/CxKx57G0RCw/ A rescue from loneliness], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240008.19</ref> After they made sliders together, Hiro told her that she had Lorana had been attacked while on Cait.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/kCJC-tAVYJI/ You’ll never stop worrying about your family], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240008.21</ref> She was worried of what had happened to them, but hearing they had also been arrested, she also had to consider how her own morals related to the events.

While running in the Fitness Centre, Jovenan was urgently called to Chief Tactical Officer's office by Lt Silveira.
