'''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.:: | |||
