Lael Rosek/USS Veritas Service Jacket: Difference between revisions

=='''''THE IRRESISTIBLE PRIZE'''''==

The day following her promotion, Lael handed a report on the functioning of the warp core to Commander [[Luna Walker|Walker]], only to notice that she was distracted and that Lieutenant [[Danni James|James]] wasn't at her usual post. Concerned Lael asked if everything was all right. Luna led Lael to the Chief Engineer's Office where she disclosed in confidence that Danni might be pregnant. Lael offered congratulations, but the rest of their conversation was cut off by Acting Captain [[Mei'konda]] calling from the bridge to inform them of the situation with the {{USS|Astraeus}}, and asked them to come up with a way to get the ship out of danger. She and Luna worked through the situation, strategizing on how to do so without risking the safety of the ''[[USS Veritas|Veritas]]'' and her crew. However, a yellow alert ruined those plans and forced Lael and Luna to also come up with either a way to increase the ''[[USS Veritas|Veritas]]''' defenses.

Shortly after, Crewman Recruit [[Tazmin Shandres]] approached her and Luna, taking the initiative by asking where she could help out. Noticing the young woman's enthusiasm and dedication, Lael decided to take the young woman under her wing. At first, Luna was going to assign Shandres to do research, but when a message came in from the bridge regarding an idea Ensign Jael Yal had to use the deflector in their plan, she suggested to Luna that maybe Shandres could help them sort through the specifics of Yal's proposal.

As the Veritas arrived to help the Astraeus, however, they came under attack and Acting Captain [[Mei'konda]] ordered Security, Engineering, and Medical to prepare teams. Commander [[Kelrod]]'s team was already in place, attempting to repel the boarding parties. The other teams eventually beamed over to the other vessel into the Engineering section to find many wounded being treated by the ship's CMO, Doctor [[Rajan]].  

Lael was ready to take hers when a man began seizing, leaving Chythar with no choice but to treat him with the last dose of anti-seizure meds. Without those anti-seizure meds prior to her radiation inoculation, Lael risked becoming incapacitated and possibly entering a coma due to her allergy. She urged the teams to focus on disabling the transport inhibitor and deactivating the blast doors to get them into Engineering.

Finally, they were successful, allowing the anti-seizure meds to be transported so Lael could receive her radiation inoculation with minimal risk. With the blast doors open, the teams gathered and focused on taking back Engineering. Weapons' fire was exchanged and they managed to regain control of Engineering, but [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] was shot in the leg while trying to avoid getting shot. He was beamed back to the Veritas to be patched up while the rest of the team cleared Engineering and got to work setting things up to tow the ''Astraeus'' out.
