'''09-24-2012 - Meeting the Captain and his 4th Pip'''
 
((Bridge, Deck 1, USS Mercury))
 
Cain: You mentioned that your an astrobiologist. Is that a bit like
xenobiology?
 
West: Yes and more so No. I do have credits in Xenobiology and have taken
more than the required classes from the Academy but Astrobiology is a
different field all together. Astrobiology is the study of the origin,
evolution, distribution, and future of extraterrestrial life of other
worlds. Xenobiology and Exobiology is similar but more specific to just
there scope, where as Astrobiology steps over the two and puts them and a
few other under one roof if you will. I am sure I have just told you more
than you ever wanted to know about the field of Astrobiology and I barley
even touched on it. ::Smiling::
 
Cain: Not at all, it sounds very interesting ensign.
 
West: I will head down to the Science Department and start working you up
some reports sir.
 
Cain: Where ever you feel most comfortable working is absolutely fine by me.
I will look forward to reading the report.
 
:: Ian was just about to step away when he noticed a tall male in Red with 4
gold pips walk up next to him and the much shorter first officer. ::
 
Kells: That was the shortest red alert I've ever heard. I trust you got it
under control, Arden?
 
Cain: Yes Sir it's all under control now. A false alarm.
 
Kells: What happened?
 
Cain: One of Doctor Velana's patients was under the impression that there
were Borg on board the Mercury. Appearantly he suffered some kind of head
injury.
 
Kells: Then it's nothing Velana can't handle.
 
:: The Captain paused and looked at Ian for a moment before speaking.::
 
Kells: Who're you, Ensign?
 
West: I am Dr. Ian Lane West, I am an Astrobiologist and your new Science
Officer sir.
 
Kells: Thank the Architect. I wondered when you were going to arrive.
Tell me you're ready to go; we need a science officer prepped and ready.
 
West: As a matter of fact I am sir, I was sent some data to get myself up to
speed with on my trip to Starbase 118. I am as ready as they come sir. I
was a Warrant Officer in Star Fleet before going to the Academy so it is
nice to be working back in space and with real equipment and not just
holodecks and training labs sir. ::Giving the Captain a wide smile and a
slight nod of the head.::
 
Kells: Excellent. Ard-- Lieutenant Commander Cain and I were both chief
science officers once upon a time, so if you have any questions, you ask us,
all right?
 
Cain: The Captain is right, I doubt there is anyone else on the ship that
knows the job and the department, here on the Mercury, then we do.
 
West: That is good to know sir, but I will do my best to keep the dog off
your lawns sirs.
 
Kells: Very good. (beat, gruffer) You'll monitor the USS Triumphant leaving
the area, Arden, as well as the departure of a shuttlecraft back to 118. We
had a short visit from Captains Reynolds and Nicholotti. They gave me this.
 
Wulfantine: Congratulations Sir.
 
Cain: Congratulations Captain Kells. I honestly can't say how much you truly
deserve it Sir.
 
West: ::Ginning:: I am sure it was well earned sir. I look forward to
serving under you.
 
Kells: Thank you. (stage whisper) Don't let anyone throw a party.
(actual whisper) But make sure it's good. And, really, wait until the
councilor and her guests have disembarked.
 
Cain: By the time word gets around I won't have much a say in whether or not
a party will occur. ::Smiling:: But it will most certainly take place after
this whole Klingon/Romulan affair is done with.
 
Kells: How do we stand, incidentally? Has Lieutenant Commander Rahman
checked in? If everything's in order, I'd like to get going.
 
::As the Captain and the first officer discuss mission details, Ian slips
quietly past them and walks over to the science station to log his self into
the ships data base. Before making it to the station he turned back and
smiled at the scene going on around him. It was nice to be back in the
Science seat again and doing work that mattered.::
 
West: Computer Ensign Ian Lane West transferring aboard, Code One Tango
Twenty Four Alpha.
 
Computer: Welcome about Science Officer West.
 
::Ian over looked a few quick scans and data and then began programming data
uplink to his new quarters computer station.::
