Task Force: Gamma

Marek · Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:23 pm Post subject: Just another patrol? not exactly.

OOC I'm going to let everyone have a chance to post before things get really going.

Ando sat at his desk, stalling before he left for patrol. He wasn't excited about leaving the station again so soon, and neither was his wife. He put the finishing touches on the report he had been working on, then submitted it. He turned, looking out the viewport. I guess I should have expected something like this

(OOC: Is this a main storyline? Who is onboard, do we tie a station story in, what's happening?)

OOC I'm going to call it a quasi main storyline, it can happen while, before or after your other planned main storyline, but it is several days after the conversation from the secondary storyline "Demanding the Impossible" As for where everyone is, I was hoping they would pipe in. My next post will say who is going on patrol, not quite enough time for it right now, hopefully at lunch

Ando walked down the corridor, a PADD in his hand. He looked up as he heard his name called.

"Commander Osaka! Am I glad to see you!" De'tal, the Ju'Tau delegate that would be accompanying the Archer, was walking briskly towards Ando. He was nearly six inches shorter than Ando, slightly rotund, but a jovial man from what Ando had seen. "I understand we are departing soon?"

Ando nodded, looking up from his PADD, "We are leaving within the hour, if all goes well. I am headed that way actually, if you care to join me."

De'tal smiled warmly, "Good! Good! My people is very grateful for your assistance in this matter, we are unable to retrieve the dilithium ourselves. The recent Nekrali attacks have left us seriously short of dilithium, so much so that we can't retrieve our own."

Ando smiled, "That's what our primary mission is, to keep the peace, and assist those in need." They continued to chat as the made their way to the Archer.

OOC more to come... feel free to jump in I see Grolik and CPO Smith as joining the patrol, I think Mark has plans for the Solana, Zeara and Rayle

Chief Smith
DS-27 - Alterran Station
Security Office

Smith was sitting in his office, finishing the last of his After Action Reviews from the would-be-invasion. Charolette was en route to Starbase 135 to pick up some items in storage, and Ted found himself with some down time on his hands. He had an idea...

"Chief Smith to Commander Osaka... would you meet me in Security when you have time?"

OOC sorry, I missed that last line, I would have posted this sooner.

Ando walked into Smith's office, a full half hour later than he intended. He lowered the PADD he had been reading as he walked, a bad habit he could never quite break.

"Sorry Chief, our Ju'Tau visitor is a man of many words, it took a while to get him settled in on the ship."

LOCATION: OPS CENTER OFFICE

Commander Talbert re-read the file on the intrepid Doctor Drake, then laid the PADD down with a smile. It seemed that the good doctor had taken him seriously. After 24 hours of intense de-tox, he had taken an additional week's leave to assemble himself, and reported this morning a new man. Despite his reservations with Starfleet, Talbert felt that the doctor would become the physician the station needed after all.

He leaned over and hit a button on his desk. "Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Osaka, please report to the commander's office. And no," he said in an uncharacteristic aside, "You are not wanted for detention."

Security Office
Ando Osaka

Ando smiled at the Security Chief, "By all means, Chief, you would be most welcome." He held up his PADD, "I'm still trying to decide what the normal assignments will be on the Archer anyway. I would welcome you at the secondary tactical station." The bridge layout of the Archer was almost identical to the bridge layout of a Defiant class starship, which meant the helm was also the primary tactical station. Having Smith at Tactical would simplify the duties of the helm, if anything interesting happens. "I'm hoping to leave within the hour, so once your squared away report to the Archer."

Officers Quarters
Jamie Osaka

Jamie Osaka looked up from her painting, surprised beyond believe. She wipes her hands on her apron, walking over to the console in her quarters. Not sure exactly what the protocol was for a civilian speaking to the station commander in this capacity, she opts for formal, "Um, Acknowledged.. Sir, I will be there shortly." She glances at her painting for a moment, then begins changing from the stained painting frock to something more presentable. He'll just have to accept my hair, She thought, glancing at the rats nest of hair that she had randomly pulled up to keep out of the paint.

Ando sat in the big chair, waiting for the last officers to arrive so they could depart. He had just herded the Ju'Tau delegate off of the bridge after twenty minutes of non-stop banter. It had left him with a headache and a foul mood, both of which he tried to hide from the crew.

Outside of Talbert's office.
Jamie Osaka

Jamie took a deep breath, then pushed the chime. She entered when asked and approached Talbert's desk somewhat apprehensively.
"You wished to see me Commander?"

USS Archer
Ando Osaka

Ando smiles to his friend who is currently at the helm, Titus Decker.

"Mr. Decker, notify the station we are departing, release mooring lines and docking clamps, take us out thrusters only."

"Aye sir, thrusters only."

In a matter of moments the Archer is under it's own power and moving away from the station. A few uneventful minutes later Decker responds.

"Commander, we have cleared the stations impulse restricted zone."

Ando adjusted his uniform slightly, "Excellent, set course for our rendevous with the Ju'Tau's dilithium suppliers, warp 9. I don't wish to waste anymore time." As the ship's powerful engines accelerate the ship to warp, Osaka can't help but grin, even though he knew there was a chance at some danger on this mission, he was really beginning to like command.

"Commander, I read all systems normal here at Tactical. Ready for our patrol."

Several uneventful days passed by, the dilithium run was completed successfully, and much to the crews relief, the Ju'Tau passenger left with the dilithium. As the crew settled into the routine of what many considered a pointless patrol exercise, Ando worked on design schematics on a large PADD as he sat at the command chair.

Chief Smith
DS 27 - Alterran Station
TAD aboard USS Archer - Aux. Tactical Station

Chief Smith sat at his assigned station when a distress call is recieved.

"Commander," said Smith, drawing Osaka's attention, "We're reciveing a distress call from the Myosians, a freighter named the Kota is under attack. I have audio." Smith put the signal on the speakers.

"This is the Myosian freighter Kota to anyone within the sound of y voice: We are under attack by Nekrali pirates and are losing our Warp Core containment. We need assistance. If you read us, please respond!"

"Do you wish for me to respond Commander?"

Ando looks up from his PADD as Smith speaks, his face turning grave as the message continues. In response to Smith's question he says,
"Tell the Kota we are enroute. Mr. Decker, intercept course, Maximum Warp! Red alert!" The lighting changes to a red hue as the warning klaxon sounds throughout the ship. Ando brings up his console, looking at the tactical readout.

"Course laid in sir, maximum warp! We should arrive at the Kota in 23 minutes." Decker tapped a few course corrections as he spoke, tension in his voice.
