Ian West/Sims: Difference between revisions

((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

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

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

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

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.::
