"In a Fitz!"

Log entry 70 - 12

 

Back in Main Engineering, and working on the sensor arrays, Vectra watches on as Lt. Fitzgerald made his way to Trichon's Office. He had joked that Trichon was as mad as he had ever seen him, but in reality, he was quite sure it wouldn't get too bloody. Vectra had found Fitz lying on the holodeck unconscious when Trichon told Vectra to go fetch him.

 

Originally thinking he was in some sort of holodeck accident, he later found out by Doctor Westler that it was due to exhaustion. The guy just fainted right then and there on the holodeck floor. Vectra shouldn't have been surprised by that. Over the past few weeks, Fitz never seemed to leave Engineering, and was spending a lot more time at the holodeck.

 

He'd see Fitz the next day, with bloodshot eyes, and eyes so baggy he could probably fit a week of groceries in there. He didn't have to be a telepath to know that he wasn't getting his required seven hours of sleep each day. Vectra had worked on his project once before on the holodeck.

 

He saw Fitz's bright, beady little eyes sparkle with determination as well as dedication to the work. It was his baby. ASPECT, (Artificial Special Program for increased Effeciency of Core Technology), as Vectra had unofficially named it, pretty much consumed him from that time on. It consumed him phsyically, mentally as well as timewise.

 

Vectra supposes it was simply a matter of time, before he'd keel over from all that exhausting work. And now probably Trichon is in there chewing Fitz up about it. He probably could use a good chewing out, before Fitz works himself to death. Thinks Vectra.

 

He looks back to Trichon's office and sighs. But just as he was about to resume his work on the seonsors, he catches the eye of Dr. Porter standing near the door in Main Engineering. He had met Dr. Porter once before on Lucienda II, and again at his phsyical exam not too long ago.

 

Wondering what the doctor was doing in here, Vectra started a conversation with her whilst he worked on scrounging up free power to increase the efficiency of the Arcadia's sensors. He was quite happy to learn that she was here to escort Fitz back to his quarters after his talk with Trichon. Whilst she waited for Fitz, Vectra seized the oppurtunity to strike up a conversation with Dr. Porter.

 

It was nice to have a bit of company whilst he worked, especially company that Vectra started to like baing around, and found to be quite charming. Vectra's work seemed to progress that much quicker, as he used Fitz's idea he gave Vectra on a PADD.

 

It should increase the power of the sensors by 20%, according to Fitz. Wasn't like there was anything to lose anyways. So, with the company of Dr. Porter, Vectra helped to increase the sensor's effieciency. "Sure is taking awhile in there. Hope Fitz can survive Trich's wrath" said Vectra, with a chuckle as he continued on working on the sensors and chatting it up with the Doctor.
