Changes

Posted on Tue Jul 11th, 2023 @ 11:37am by Captain Xavier Carey

Mission: Starship Side Quest
Location: Bridge/ready room
Timeline: Time jump four months

Xavier walked through the ship, the past four months, there had been many changes, from Sky's recovery from being captured, to Commander Doctrine and Commander Wagnor being taken off ship for an intel mission. Their return not only returned, it was highly unlikely.

With Commander Wagnor now gone, Lt Rinne was now promoted to Lt Commander and given the title of chief of security, given the mission she went on to rescue both the Commander and Sky, she deserved both the position and the rank.

Commander Stoffels had become quite the first officer, she had found her footing nicely, after stepping back and allowing her to assume command, while he, sky and Tal enjoyed a belated honeymoon on the holodeck. Although it wasn't the real thing, it was more than enjoyable.

There were however other changes as well, Commander Melor had been temporarily assigned to the Resolution, as their chief Intelligence officer, until a full time replacement had been found, or Commander Doctrines return. He had been a great addition to the crew even if it was on a loan basis.

He walked onto the bridge, nothing really changed, he noticed Lt Jacen working at tactical, having been transferred during the past few weeks. The search for a new second officer was still underway. There were candidates, Lt Commander Rinne, was obviously the best choice at the moment, however with the split of security and tactical, it was more logical to choose a bridge officer.

Sky's recovery improved as well, noticing her sitting in her seat to the left of the Captains chair, he noticed the smile, and returned one with a nod, her stomach was now quite noticeable, almost in the third trimester, only a few weeks left. With her experience in captivity, medical was making sure she was taking it easy, not to mention tony as well, acting as Sky's counsellor. Being Tony's bridge time, he made his way to the ready room.

He walked over to the replicator ordered himself a drink, then stood at the window, the ship was en route for another supply mission, these past few months, the ship was tasked with supplying the colonies and federation worlds closest to the border, with means to defend themselves. Sometimes that meant fixing orbital defenses, which was a welcome change to both engineering and operations, long range scanners, and supplying weapons in the most vulnerable worlds.

Medical took this time to upgrade their department, coming up with additional measures should the need arrise for casualties of war. Given their size, and extra space, the Resolution had been placed at the front of the line for rescue operations. This gave them more freedom to adjust sickbay more to the needs that Doc RJ may need.

The marines had left, however, they were awaiting additional troops. Having been assured a smaller contingent, as well as a supply of fighters. It was welcome.

He turned to his desk, noticing a stack of pads, he sat down. Took a drink of his coffee. "Commander Stoffels, to the ready room please."
