USS Excalibur - Sundays 10:30 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Cptn Swain, (XO) CdrMirandaHawthorne

MISSION BRIEF: Excalibur is en route to Erebus-76, inside the Beardmore Cluster -- a collection of stars straddling the Alpha and Beta Quadrants that has only been lightly explored over the preceding two hundred years. Our first assignment, before we can embark on a series of surveys of the region, is to stop at Erebus-76 and resupply a small science station in orbit of the system's secondary star. (edited)
9:30 PM
The science station is studying the star as it is exhibiting several unusual traits for a star of its size, namely that it is losing mass at an accelerated rate.
9:32 PM
As we pick up, we are still a few hours out from the station, and preparations to move the large amount of equipment and supplies we've brought with us to the station are now underway.

William was in the Cargo Bay, overseeing everyone who was moving things about the cargo bay to make them easier to Transfer. “Reynolds! Lift with your legs, not your back! Dr. Ryssan’s right there to tell you not to as well!”

Makes his way over, nods to Jalen, then looks down to the engineers As you were.
9:46 PM
Clark> Fumbling with a PADD, makes his way over to Will and Reynolds mostly ignoring everythin else. He had a look of something nearing panic on his face.

“Aye sir.” turning back to Reynolds, he shook his head and walked over to help him put the crate onto the hover dolly “Lift with the legs, and ask for help.” Noticing Clark “I swear, if the ship is about to blow up…” (edited)

Noticing Commander Stanton making a note, he cringed internally. He really was trying to get Reynolds a promotion, but the lad couldn’t help himself. Turning back to Clark. “I only like butts if they’re on someone attractive. What’s going on?”
Avatar
Cptn Swain 1/26/2025 9:51 PM
Glances over to Jalen . Commander Johanssan will probably want us to stay for some kind of thing. I'd rather get on with our assignment, but he frowned as one of the few other Starfleet presences in the area I suppose we should oblige, yes?
9:51 PM
Clark> Blinks. Did Chocox just tell, a joke? He shook it off. Here, look at this manifest.
9:52 PM
Clark> Shoves the PADD in his face This is what we are supposed to have onboard. And I know we did because I checked all of the cargo, twice, as it was loaded.

Leaning back from Clark’s PADD and hand dangerously close to his face. “Clark, you’re well within my eyes’ focal range. I need either you to back up with your arm outstretched like that, pull back your arm, or tell me exactly what the offending items are and why you’re shoving a PADD in my face like I’m one of your Ops Ensigns.”
Avatar
Cptn Swain 1/26/2025 9:57 PM
Clark> Takes a deep breath and steps a bit back. Sorry, but serious look at that item. It's not exactly, you know, harmless right? In fact, I think those are probably generally restricted. And well. there are supposed to be 6 containers of the stuff.
9:58 PM
Clark> And there were. I know there were. When we left.

Hides a smirk Arden thought it was "the strangest attempt at Bolian cuisine since he tried a 'Bolian Supplement' ration during the war"
10:00 PM
Personally, I liked the flan.
10:00 PM
Clark> That is, what I am telling you. I've looked through both cargo bays this morning for these crates. Nothing.
Avatar
William Chocox 1/26/2025 10:00 PM
Mildly jumping as Reynolds comes up. “Ensign, has anyone told you that you walk too quietly? Anyway, it’s a starship. No one has come in or out in days.”
10:01 PM
“Have you looked in other places on the ship?”
10:01 PM
Pondering for a second, he turned back to Reynolds. “Did you hide them anywhere?”

Clark> Grimmaces The containers they have to store that stuff in makes it, effectively, impossible to scan. It's one of the reasons, other than its general volatility, you can't use transporters on it.

Raising his hand to his chin and rubbing it in thought. “Wait…if we can’t scan them with the sensors, wouldn’t an empty spot in the sensors’ ‘eyesight’ lead us to where they might be? Or are there more blind spots than I’m thinking there are?”

Looks back to the floor below It's good to see Clark and Chocox getting along. I know sometimes operations and engineering can be at odds.
10:21 PM
