Amanda Davis PhD: :::checking out the captain, and he seems ready to go::
Erich Jaenke: :: Jaenke felt empowered as he had been sitting in the captain's chair for a while ::
Erich Jaenke: Helm, slow to quarter impulse and plot a course inside this asteroid field.
Erich Jaenke: Find a cosy spot with high metal content to diffuse sensors.
Erich Jaenke: :: Helm does so ::
Callista Tyrel: :: looks out the viewport in the lounge..still decompressing after what she saw on in the courtroom , the asteroid field almost looks relaxing ::
Gila Orrak: :: Doctor Orrak scans McFly :: Hmm
Gila Orrak: Interesting..
McFly: ::surprisingly little brain activity::
Erich Jaenke: ACTION: The Manticore slowly enters the asteroid field, weaving gently between the spaces safe for travel
Callista Tyrel: :: still in her dress uniform looking outward as the viewport seems to pan... the duty helm officer must be enjoying herself ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Checks to make sure the ship is in ship-shape before getting between a rock and a hard rock place ::
Gila Orrak: How do you feel Captain?
Cmdr JFarrington: :::enters the bridge, still in uniform::: Evening Commander Jaenke. Looks like a nice place to stop. :::she nods to the forward screen:::
Amanda Davis PhD: :::finishing the captain's information, diagnosis, etc, Gila taking over to be sure he's ready to go:::
Callista Tyrel: :: the vision of a courtroom full of dead people pulses in her head despite her attempts to dismiss it ::
McFly: ::stirs on the bed; still groggy:: ....I'm tired, can't I get five more minutes?
Erich Jaenke: Yes. There were no indications we were followed, but if we need to lose someone, this is the place. Let the crew decompress a bit, but we just need to be sure we can leave at a moment's notice.
Amanda Davis PhD: ::glance in his direction with a smile:::
Amanda Davis PhD: ::then back to work:::
Gila Orrak: Captain, you said that almost an hour ago. :: The Cardassian doctor pressed something into McFly's head ::
Gila Orrak: It is interesting to see a fellow Cardassian's work.
Callista Tyrel: :: stands and walks with her beverage to the viewport taking in the view, a much better scene ::
McFly: ::feels pressure against his head:: So I have to get up now? How long was I out?
Erich Jaenke: This is the longest command I've ever had...and the most uneventful.
Cmdr JFarrington: Well, Commander, as far as I know not many people are aware of this asteroid, especially because the rest of the asteroids are pretty.... dreary? Looking like asteroids, anyway.
Cmdr JFarrington: ::blink:: Uneventful command?
Erich Jaenke: Uninteresting no doubt. There are millions of these formations in the galaxy.
Cmdr JFarrington: :::slips into the XO's chair:::
Erich Jaenke: I was merely speaking of the voyage from NLV to here.
Gila Orrak: What year is this again Captain?
Callista Tyrel: Nurse Mallory> :: walks over to Gila Orrak and her Patient checking the Biobed readouts as a nurse does... ::
Cmdr JFarrington: ::slow nod:::
Gila Orrak: :: smiles while she removes the dermal probe ::
McFly: ::blinks:: You're making me do math this early in the morning? ....Ugh.... 23xx?
Gila Orrak: It's been nearly two weeks.
Gila Orrak: Captain Jaenke is doing fine, thanks for asking.
McFly: ((what year did first contact happen? It's that year))
Erich Jaenke: (2063 I believe)
Callista Tyrel: Nurse Mallory> :: smiles listening to the Captain's humor ::
McFly: Captain Jaenke? ...oh god, they did it, the crew mutinied. I knew it would happen eventually. Surprised KK didn't... oh frak! She's in on it isn't she?
Cmdr JFarrington: ::settles in::: I've been in this belt... unofficially, of course... and taken a vacation with some friends on that one asteroid. I think you'll like it.
Gila Orrak: You and your wife keep trading barbs with respect to injuries
Erich Jaenke: I think a vacation was our problem all along. No telling who has a record at this place. What kind of place is this?
McFly: Wife? Oh this is still a dream. No one is marrying Kansas.
Gila Orrak: I really should get around to reading the personnel files.
Gila Orrak: Jaenke is merely sitting in the chair.
Callista Tyrel: :: does a brief Picard Maneuver and walks over to the small bar to get another cup of coffee ::
Erich Jaenke: +Eng+ Jaenke to engineering, status?
Erich Jaenke: :: Felt like he was talking to himself, but he was up here and not down there.
Amanda Davis PhD: ::moves to her desk to file her report:::
Gila Orrak: Do you believe you are fit for command Captain?
McFly: ::looks over at Gila:: Do I look fit for command?
Callista Tyrel: Crewman Wrench> + Bridge + Engineering here.
Erich Jaenke: :: Watching the larger rocks go past them ::
Callista Tyrel: Nurse Mallory> :: looks to Gila :: He might want a shave.
Amanda Davis PhD: (And lose that handsome beard? )
Callista Tyrel: Crewman Wrench> +Bridge + Status is good no problems...everything good.
Cmdr JFarrington: We should be reaching that asteroid within the hour.
Callista Tyrel: :: takes her cup of joe and sits by the viewport looking outward ::
Gila Orrak: You are within the norms medically, but mentally only you can judge... or I can after some pointed questions
McFly: Brutus> ::manning tactical; shakes his head and thinks to himself "all those dead people"::
Erich Jaenke: Good, good. That was a rough departure, I had seen death as a Betazoid.
Callista Tyrel: Nurse Mallory> :: the Bolian nurse puts away some redundant Medical equipment ::
McFly: Just don't ask me about the lights.
Cmdr JFarrington: :::glance to Erich, having forgotten his telepathic abilities::
Gila Orrak: Oh, you have heard that joke? It's very popular in Cardassian circles
McFly: ::looks at Gila:: What joke?
Callista Tyrel: :: thinks about the courtroom again...::
Erich Jaenke: Having all of your minds register the gravity of what happened at the same time, the intensity building up like an echo in a deep canyon...
Gila Orrak: How many lights do you see?
Cmdr JFarrington: ::Erich::: (w) I take it that you are out of your medications.
Cmdr JFarrington: ::it's been a while so she had almost forgotten that::
McFly: ::looks at Gila wide eyed with tears welling up::
Erich Jaenke: I have not gone to medical to get it yet, but Doctor Orrak wanted to get a complete baseline of my condition. I think she likes me... but only for my mind. :: laughs ::
Cmdr JFarrington: :::how many years?.... at least 15:::
McFly: ::squeaks out a response:: four lights?
Gila Orrak: Captain? :: scans :: Perhaps that jest does not translate..
Cmdr JFarrington: :::slight grin:::
Callista Tyrel: ( K K !!! )
Kansas Kenickie: <<<Hello peeps>>
Cmdr JFarrington: (Greetings, Commander!)
Gila Orrak: :: Looks behind her for how many lights were in the Captain's view :: Hmm. Maybe 10?
McFly: ((KK powered a hurricane to be here tonight. That's dedication))
Cmdr JFarrington: In that case, since I know the area I can direct helm while you go to medical.
Kansas Kenickie: ((Sky cleared up))
Erich Jaenke: I could pry into each of your minds and perhaps snuff out the intense memory, turn a raging river into a babbling brook, but at what cost to my sanity?
Erich Jaenke: :: Gets up :: Perhaps a good idea, at the very least she can get another reading
Callista Tyrel: :: looks at her uniform in the reflection of the viewport, the white contrasting with the darkness of space ..::
Cmdr JFarrington: I'm sure she could.
Gila Orrak: Your XO is recovering as well, though her problems are not really physical.
Cmdr JFarrington: The commander is in sickbay with the captain. I'm here to direct helm. Go for it.
Erich Jaenke: I should go. Keep the ship safe Commander Farrington.
Cmdr JFarrington: Aye, aye, sir. ::smirk:::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Enters sickbay:::
McFly: I've been trying to tell that to you guys for years.
Erich Jaenke: :: Nods to the bridge crew as he enters the lift :: Sickbay.
Callista Tyrel: Nurse Mallory> :: scoots away ::
Gila Orrak: Oh in another place I would have popped her a few times.
Erich Jaenke: :: moments later Jaenke enters sickbay ::
Cmdr JFarrington: :::takes the command chair::: Helm come around to 207.7 at warp 4.
Cmdr JFarrington: Around the next asteroid we should see the one we want.
Gila Orrak: Well if this just isn't a party? Come in Erich.
Callista Tyrel: Crewman Hammer> :: arrives at the engineering console on the bridge, having seen the CENG depart ::
Erich Jaenke: :: Walks over to her and the Captain :: Captain. It has been a while.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Enters Matt's room:: it's about time you got up.
Gila Orrak: :: Recalibrating her tricorder for Betazoid brain patterns ::
McFly: It's only been a couple of hours from my perspective. You going to drop me off at the nearest habitable planet and start pirating in the beta quadrant?
Callista Tyrel: :: returns to a bench seat near the viewport and gazes ::
Gila Orrak: Brain scans are free today...:: begins to scan Erich ::
McFly: ::looks over at KK:: I keep wanting to go back to bed but people keep waking me up.
Erich Jaenke: :: Searches for Tyrel with his mind ::
Cmdr JFarrington: ::relaxing at the beauty of the stars that shine past the asteroid belt:::
Kansas Kenickie: :::Shows people the door::: everyone out
Gila Orrak: :: While scanning Erich :: Could simply tilt the bed up 90 degrees.
Cmdr JFarrington: Helmsman Cocker, watch that next asteroid. It has a mind of its own.
Cmdr JFarrington: Cocker> Aye, ma'am. ::;tappity tap::::
Gila Orrak: Oh we'll leave, but remember this is my sickbay Commander.
Callista Tyrel: :: a mind trying to clear itself up at the moment ::
Gila Orrak: Let's take ourselves to another room, get you a nice biobed Erich
Erich Jaenke: Sure :: Leaves with Orrak ::
Kansas Kenickie: I let you mind Sickbay... no one owns anything.
Kansas Kenickie: Yet.
Gila Orrak: :: At another biobed :: Does she always do that?
Erich Jaenke: Does it enough.
Callista Tyrel: :: gazes outward thinking....::
Kansas Kenickie: :::Sits McFly back down:: better?
Cmdr JFarrington: :::stands to watch the screen::: As soon as you round that asteroid, you'll see an asteroid that has a green hew.
McFly: Much. It's ironic how the last memory I have is a Cardassian in my face and I wake up to another one.
Erich Jaenke: ~~Tyrel~~ Callista...
Callista Tyrel: Crewman Hammer> :: looks at the viewscreen on the bridge very curious at where the ship is going ::
Gila Orrak: I should have you probe my mind and get a reading on that..
Kansas Kenickie: ::lifts right eyebrow:: Never a good site
Erich Jaenke: I am probing another..
Gila Orrak: Oh really? Who?
Erich Jaenke: Callista.
Cmdr JFarrington: Lt Cocker> Whoa... never seen an asteroid like that one, ma'am.
McFly: I guess I was out for a while? Did I miss anything important?
Gila Orrak: Oh do tell, a first-name basis no doubt.
Callista Tyrel: :: sees the faces of a dead courtroom. not so much the judge...but the others present ::
Kansas Kenickie: ::Hugs him:: you had me slightly worried.
McFly: ::pulls her in:: I'm ok.
Cmdr JFarrington: And you probably won't see many. Drop out of warp and put us in low synchronous orbit.
Erich Jaenke: More familiar, the less formal the easier it is.
Kansas Kenickie: Just a small break at New Las Vegas, nothing I couldn't fully handle.
Gila Orrak: Ah, perhaps I could be simply Gila.
Erich Jaenke: That's just it, there is nothing simple about you doctor, when you dig a little deeper.
McFly: Damn, missed out on the blackjack.
Cmdr JFarrington: Lt Cocker> She's a beauty, Commander.
Callista Tyrel: Crewman Hammer> Impulse engines nominal Commander.
Kansas Kenickie: Gambling and a little black dress.
McFly: Ugh, don't tease.
Cmdr JFarrington: That she is. ::points:: Establish synchronous above the waterfall between those mountains.
Gila Orrak: What do you mean? :: puzzled ::
Callista Tyrel: Huh? :: snaps out of her gaze and looks around the empty lounge having sworn someone addressed her..:: Geesh... Ghosts now.
Kansas Kenickie: ::Smirks::: Hair was down and a little dress
Erich Jaenke: There are mental blocks, but I don't think you realize them.
Callista Tyrel: Is this my life I want to live??
Callista Tyrel: :: looks outward ::
Gila Orrak: My training in the Order, all medical of course.

Cmdr JFarrington: It's all yours, Commander.
Kansas Kenickie: TBS, 3 hours, 21 minutes and 8 seconds
Callista Tyrel: 3. 14 hours?
Cmdr JFarrington: Heh.... thought so.
Kansas Kenickie: Erich should be able to read a dirty mind in that amount of time'
Erich Jaenke: Only one?
Kansas Kenickie: They are all yours Captain.
Kansas Kenickie: oooooooor 2
McFly: let's see if I can remember how to do this.
McFly: Well let's give Erich some privacy as he impedes on someone's thoughts... DISMISSED!
