Hulk. It's not just for superheros anymore.

Xavier Keegar is sitting in his temporary quarters on the station, scans his new orders for the first time...

 

"You know... I really wish I could rationalize this. My first assignment and all..." saying so, to no one in particular.

 

Xavier taps a panel on his belt and his self-recorder kicks in.

 

This is quite depressing. I just get assigned to a vessel, and there's already major overhauling work needing to be done on her. I mean, seriously, are people so careless anymore that they run their ships into the latest maelstrom to come up on sensors anymore?

 

I heard that the new XO, whatshisface, did this to the ship. I can't say that I would blame him personally, but it's still a little disconcerting to find out that my new XO has managed to foul up a ship so soon after his posting.

But he knew they took their job just as serious. He noticed the attention to details. Drummr had them realign the new inner chamber 4 times before they got it right. Pear was visually inspecting the nacelles from the inside out. He knew this ship would be in good hands. And with the modifications they were installing now, he knew it was the perfect opportunity to begin the new modifications he had designed.

 

Xavier couldn't believe the damage to the ship. The amount of work ahead of him was just overwhelming.

 

I hope the new refit process is what we ultimately decide on. I would really rather not see such a fine ship - a sovereign class vessel go down in flames so soon after her commissioning. It really hasn't been all that long really.

 

Xavier sighs, internal recorder still racking up the seconds, and his eyes fix on the sovereign class statue in his quarters.

 

The class has been a long time study of mine. A class with distinction, a class with honor. A class that Picard and La Forge practically re-wrote the book on. I couldn't help but feel bad when I learned that the Enterprise D had gone down. All of those modifications that La Forge made, gone. In the blink of an eye. And now, we're staring at something of the same thing here.

 

I got to see the remains of the Excalibur. She's docked currently, and the Chief as well as Sorehl and the Admiral are stewing over her, I'm sure. The superstructure is, well, not so super anymore, and the IDF generators have to shift into emergency mode any time something happens - even a brief shift in sector gravity forces causes anyone placing foot onboard to get that uneasy feeling.

 

I didn't get that good of a look at her, but I can't get the image out of my head.

All of those openings in the hull, and the pieces being held together by mere strands of twisted metal, and gaping holes in the structure. It's quite depressing.

 

 

"All hands, report to designated barracks assignments"

 

Drat, time to go check in with some bunkies. Oh well, I intend to work my arse off to the point that I won't get much sleep anyway. Sleeping in close proximity with others like that will only give me the creeps.
