Tygarian Meet Captain

Posted on Wed May 19th, 2021 @ 11:45pm by Captain Xavier Carey

Mission: The Mentarin Effect
Location: Bridge
Timeline: Before Klingons arrive

The moment that the shuttle had hit the Resolution, Amelix was off in a blur. Stopping her was like stopping a force of nature. It simply could not be done absent more energy output than a normal human could exert without a great deal of sophisticated machinery. Having memorized the Resolution's layout before arriving on it, she arrived on the bridge and announced in a blur of excitement, "Hi! I'm Amelix Milumad, the new Chief Science Officer. May I step on the bridge and talk to the Captain? I do need to report in. Protocol, you know!"

"Over here LT." Xavier called out, as stared at the viewscreen. Four senior officers in such a short time. Must have been a record. He had a pad out and was impressed.

Amelix crossed the floor in no time, practically leaping in bounds, as she did so. "Lieutenant Amelix Milumad reporting for duty sir! I'm Tygarian. Have you ever met a Tygarian before? I'm the only one in Starfleet and the only one female that has left our homeworld. Did you know that? Oh, please excuse me if I start talking too quickly. I seem to always have a lot to say and some say that I'm easily distractible but I don't think that's true. Do you?" She paused for a blink of an eye. "Now what was I saying? Oh, yes! Pleased to be aboard, Captain!"

"I can honestly say I have never et a tygarian, i am honoured to meet you." Xavier replied gesturing to the vacant seat to his right. "Trip here was uneventful I hope."

"It was not fast enough that I could get here timely and too fast for me to conduct any useful experiments. I really think that it should be mandatory that shuttlecrafts have a much bigger area for laboratories. How is anyone supposed to get any meaningful scientific work done on one of them?" She took a deep breath and continued again in her rapid speech pattern, nearly as cheerful as when she entered. "But I'm here now and I'm so ready to get to work. I have lots of ideas on things that need to be done and I can't wait to meet my staff and see all of the equipment. What can you tell me about it? Is there anything unique that I should know? Or should I just discover it on my own? Discovering things is a lot of fun!"

"Well right now, the former science chief as well as our transporter specialist is trying to come up with a way to transport through the pollution that's in this planet's atmosphere. We have been stuck sending down shuttles, which has already caused us a CO and a second officer."

"Former science chief?" Amelix wondered at that and why the demotion but did not dwell on it. "Well, I really should get down there, then! Sounds like we have problems to solve and science to conduct! If I may be excused, Captain, I'll just quickly check in for my required medical and get right down there! We can chat later! I can't wait!"

"She stepped down to focus on helping this planet recover, its going to take years. to fully repair if we can fix it for them, however it is up to them." Pausing, "you may go assist, I know they would appreciate it greatly."

"That was very magnanimous of her," Amelix replied in awe. "Well, I should get down and help them! I would want not to disappoint, so soon after I got here, not that I'm a disappointment. I've done some quite remarkable things. Maybe that's why my people said I'm the 'bridge.' Maybe not. If you can figure that out, please let me know. It is a mystery that I've been trying to solve for quite some time. Then again, there are so many mysteries to be solved. Science is a never ending process of discovery, you know?"

She paused for a good five seconds and asked, "I'm talking too much again, aren't I? I've heard that I can do that. And my sentences can tend to run on and then some people say that I'm distractible but I really don't think that's true, do you?" She paused again for a full second and asked, "Where was I?"

Hunter smiled, "You were about to go help with the plan to get transporters running i believe."

"Transporters! Right! I'll get right on it! You won't be disappointed, Captain! Thank you, Captain!" With as much excitement, the Tygarian practically ran off in a prance back towards the turbolift and headed to take over her department.
