|Title= A Brush with Telepathy and a Taste of Orzata | |||
|Short Description= Josh Herrick and Karen Stendhal engage in a conversation about telepathy, the crew’s morale, and drinks in the Writer's Room. | |||
|Long Description= | |||
Lieutenant JG Josh Herrick and Lieutenant JG Karen Stendhal find themselves in the Writer’s Room on Deck 8 of the USS Octavia E. Butler. They engage in a candid conversation, with Herrick sharing his reflections on recent missions and Stendhal mentioning her telepathic abilities. Herrick, cautious about telepathy, tries to maintain control over his thoughts, while Stendhal reassures him of her intentions. They discuss the various zones within the Writer’s Room, including spots frequented by introverts and senior officers. | |||
As their conversation continues, Herrick remarks on the commodore's successful transition and acknowledges Stendhal's role in maintaining crew morale. A waiter arrives, and both order drinks, with Stendhal choosing Orzata, a nostalgic non-alcoholic beverage from her childhood. Herrick decides to try it as well. The drinks prompt a discussion about past experiences and the nature of life in Starfleet, with Herrick reflecting on the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera." | |||
The exchange delves into personal reflections, and Herrick finds himself occasionally struggling with the awkwardness of having his thoughts read. He tries to keep his mind clear of negative thoughts, with Stendhal humorously acknowledging the challenge. As Herrick attempts to steer the conversation back to safer topics, a flash of Caden Voss in the turbolift crosses his mind, highlighting his ongoing efforts to manage his inner world amidst the complexities of telepathic interactions. As she prods further on who Caden was, Josh mentions that the man had saved his life. With the uncomfortable tension around not being able to control the thoughts being read, he politely excuses himself to return to duty. This doesn't seem to be an uncommon occurrence for the counselor as she reflects on the vacant seat across from her and her empty glass. | |||

|Title= JOPA: 404 Gathering | |||
|Short Description= Lhandon Nilsen hosts a gathering in his quarters, with an unexpected EV walk. | |||
|Long Description= | |||
In Lhandon Nilsen's quarters, humorously named "404 room," he prepares a beef stifado following his grandmother's recipe. Maxwell arrives first, serving as the chief taste tester. The two discuss the need for a new bingo list suitable for their current ship, the USS Octavia E. Butler, with tighter security measures. They recall past pranks and set plans for the evening. Yinn arrives next, bringing a variety of drinks, including brandy, blood wine, kanar, and ferlic acid. Nilsen appreciates Yinn's efforts and her honest communication style. Eli Kovacs joins, contributing a bottle of Raktale, and the group discusses the challenges and changes since their recent mission, including the impact on their living arrangements. | |||
Josh Herrick enters with non-alcoholic root beer, easing into the gathering despite mixed feelings towards some attendees. The conversation shifts to relaxation and the importance of balancing work and leisure. The group teases each other and shares light-hearted banter about pranks and personal experiences. As the evening progresses, Zarah Johnson arrives with brownies and raspberry cordial, lightening the mood. They joke about the various drinks and their effects, and Maxwell humorously contemplates the chaos that might ensue. The officers continue to bond, supporting each other through recent challenges and enjoying a much-needed reprieve from their duties. | |||
As the evening continues, the team discusses the tradition of engraving names into the ship's hull and, with them posted to a new ship, that they'd need to redo this aboard the Octavia E Butler. They arrange to head down onto Deck 5 under the guise of completing routine inspections after their last mission. Toxin decides to join the group, despite the rift that has formed between him and Lhandon, and heads out to the EV lockers. There, Herrick, Johnson, Yinn, Kovacs, and Maxwell prepare for the spacewalk. Nilsen coordinates from the Operations Center, ensuring all equipment is ready. | |||
The group suits up and steps out onto the hull of the USS Octavia E Butler, marveling at the view of New Bajor and DS14. The team members take turns etching their names and messages onto the ship’s hull, a JOPA tradition. During this, Zarah Johnson accidentally disengages her magnetic boots, causing her to float away from the ship. Panic ensues, but Nilsen guides her to use the recall button on her suit, allowing her to return safely. Maxwell and Arlill assist in securing her. | |||
The JOPA crew reconvenes at Lhandon Nilsen’s quarters following a daring exercise of carving their names into the hull. The crew reflects on their harrowing experience, sharing a mix of relief and camaraderie. Zarah Johnson reassures everyone that she is fine, and the group exchanges light-hearted banter. | |||
Lieutenant Josh Herrick and LT JG Lhandon Nilsen present a special surprise for Arlill: an unofficially official Operations tricorder, crafted as a thoughtful farewell gift. Arlill, rendered speechless by the gesture, gratefully accepts the tricorder, admiring its custom features. The group continues to bond, making jokes and toasting to Arlill’s future success. Nilsen takes a group photo to commemorate the event, capturing a moment of unity and friendship among the crew. The meeting concludes with toasts and hopes for Arlill’s bright future. | |||

|Title= Engineering Mysteries on Deck 15 | |||
|Short Description= An unusual discrepancy is investigated in the USS Octavia E. Butler's systems, uncovering potential connections to previous incidents. | |||
|Long Description= | |||
Lieutenant JG Josh Herrick, the Acting Chief Engineer of the USS Octavia E. Butler, is puzzled by a recent incident that landed him in Sickbay after investigating an anomaly in the waste systems on Deck 15. With lingering questions about the computer's behavior and missing medical records, he begins to suspect a deeper issue. | |||
Herrick and Paradi decide to investigate the junction where the anomaly was first detected. As they crawl through the Jefferies tubes, Paradi contacts Ensign Lhandon Nilsen in Operations to monitor their movements and systems. Nilsen, from his post in the Operations Centre, acknowledges the request and starts tracking their progress. | |||
Upon reaching the junction, Herrick detects a minor but suspicious variance in the system, which Paradi also confirms. Despite its negligible size, the discrepancy concerns Herrick due to his recent experiences. Nilsen, connected to Herrick's tricorder, tries to find relevant logs but discovers that crucial incident records, including Herrick's transport to Sickbay, are missing or incomplete. This raises suspicions of the computer attempting to "gaslight" them by erasing evidence. | |||
As they discuss the anomaly, the team speculates about potential issues with the memory core or transporter logs. Herrick recalls intelligence protocols that obscure transport records, adding another layer of complexity to their investigation. Despite the frustrating obfuscation, they consider the possibility that the transporter system might be involved in the anomalies. | |||
Nilsen and Paradi discuss suspending transporter use due to safety concerns, a decision supported by Herrick. They prepare to conduct a test involving biomatter cylinders transported through the problematic junction to gather more data. Despite their precautions, the transport results in chaos as the cylinders arrive in disarray in Tobat's office, further complicating their investigation. The team decides to take the transporters offline until such time that they can be fixed properly. | |||

|Title= Awards Ceremony | |||
|Short Description= Commander Lia Rouiancet leads a promotion ceremony, announcing key changes in the crew's positions. For a list of awards and promotions, see [OEB Crew Awards] and reference stardates beginning with 240106. | |||
|Long Description= | |||
The promotion ceremony on the USS Octavia E. Butler, led by Commander Lia Rouiancet, was a significant event to establish her leadership. She began by reading a passage from Octavia E. Butler's "Parable of the Sower," emphasizing diversity and unity. Commander Etan Iljor was acknowledged for his service and announced as the new commanding officer of the 'Oumuamua'. Lieutenant Commander Avander Promontory was promoted to executive officer, and Lieutenant Commander Aine Sherlock was appointed as second officer while retaining her role as chief of security. | |||
Commander Margaret Walker was introduced as the new director of intelligence, replacing Avander. Lieutenant Josh Herrick was promoted to permanent chief of engineering, recognizing his contributions to the ship's infrastructure and propulsion systems. Finally, Lieutenant Lhandon Nilsen was officially made the assistant chief of operations, highlighting his ongoing excellence and personal friendship with Commander Rouiancet. The speech concluded with Lia encouraging the crew to enjoy the refreshments and congratulating their shipmates as she prepared to present individual ribbons. | |||
At the engineering table, newly arrived Ensign Morro Caras was introduced to the engineering team, prompting a discussion about their academy experiences. Shevon and Herrick reassured Caras they would try to go easy on him, though Caras insisted he could handle any challenges. Commander Rouiancet further encouraged Caras, stating that the only thing that ever let her down was the turbolift. The team laughed and continued their conversations, building camaraderie. Before departing the table, the captain awarded Herrick the Captains' Commendation. After her departure, Lieutenant Nilsen, recently promoted to Assistant Chief of Operations, surprised Eli with a quite affection greeting. Eli, feeling awkward at the attention, was reassured by Nilsen and led away to the dessert table. | |||
The ceremony ended with all participants of the previous mission being awarded the Maiden Voyage Ribbon, the First Contact Ribbon, the Diplomacy Ribbon, and the Joint Meritorious Unit Award. Afterward, at the head table, Rouiancet lets Avander know that as the incoming CO, part of her wanted to do the awards solo for her first round but that he'd be involved to a greater degree in subsequent ceremonies. | |||
