a plasma fluctuation on one of our fellow ships.
You can bring whomever you need, as long as
someone competent remains behind.
Agent DanteSmith: ::they go back to just
staring out the window::
Lt Allen Zinthys: +Dolan+ Sounds like a
worthy adversary. Just so long as it
doesn't blow up in five seconds.
DrLaneWinn: ::Can't concentrate until she

Lt Allen Zinthys: <<Happy B-Day!>>
Agent DanteSmith: <<Happy Birthday!>>
StarfleetUFP: And I had to do a couple of

CmdrBrookeDolan: +Luann+ For God's

DrLaneWinn: Commander, you wanted to
see me?
Agent DanteSmith: ::chuckles:: I don't

Lt Allen Zinthys: We're here to be
transported to one of the other ships?
Something about a problem with a
nacelle.
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::turning:: Ah. Doctor.
How are you settling into your new promotion?
CounselorTempest: ::puts out the
cigarette discreetly and burries the
ash in the roots of a plant::

Lt Allen Zinthys: ::Steps on the
transporter pad and the trio is taken away::
DrLaneWinn: The work is exhausting,
Commander. But invigorating.
DrLaneWinn: We've got a lot to do.
CounselorTempest: <<No prob, UFP :-)
>>
DrLaneWinn: Dr. Belcher didn't exactly leave
the place in... working condition.
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::to Winn:: I wanted to
speak to you about your predecessor, Dr
Belcher.
CounselorTempest: ::stands and cleans
her uniform, bothered by the scent of
the smoke::

wanders out of the arboretum toward
her quarters::
Lt Allen Zinthys has left the room.
StarfleetUFP: ::looks around engineering:: well
this is my new home
DrLaneWinn: Ah... permission to speak
freely, commander?
CounselorTempest: ::changes, showers,
puts on something dark red and
homespun with the look of natural
Bajoran clothing::
CmdrBrookeDolan: I got the picture that she
was ... not entirely suited for the job.
StarfleetUFP: ::Smiles:: COOL!:-)
CmdrBrookeDolan: Why don't we step into
the ready room, doctor?
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::exits bridge, enters RR::

where is the commander?
Lt Allen Zinthys has entered the room.
Lt Allen Zinthys: <<heh. Found the limit on
that phone cord>>
StarfleetUFP: <<lol>>
DrLaneWinn: Meghan Belcher was an
incompetent nut job. Completely wacked in
every possible sense of the word.
CmdrBrookeDolan: <<LOL!>>
Agent DanteSmith has left the room.
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::purses her lips::
Interesting. Any idea why no one figured this
out before we found ourselves in this
precarious situation?
Lt Allen Zinthys: ::Rematerialize on
another ship's transporter pad::
DrLaneWinn: She's a master manipulator,
Commander, when she wants to be.
DrLaneWinn: She knows how to maneuver
her way around people in power.
CmdrBrookeDolan: <<UFP, I'm in the ready
room at the moment, but will be out shortly!>>
DrLaneWinn: I don't know what happened
this time... but it's not like her to get quite so
thrown off her center.
CounselorTempest: ::looks at her hair in
the mirror::
CounselorTempest: ::just... looks::
DrLaneWinn: But I can't say I'm not unhappy
she did.
CounselorTempest: ::makes a shocking
decision to cut all of it off::
Lt Allen Zinthys: ::Nods to the
transporter operator:: Which way is Main
Engineering?
CounselorTempest: ::changes into her
uniform again, and returns to the
bridge::
Lt Allen Zinthys: <<Guess I do that to
women... or maybe just her...>>
Agent DanteSmith has entered the room.
Agent DanteSmith: <<bah>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: Triple negatives tend to
trip me up. ::smiles::
Agent DanteSmith: ::all three back to
starin out window::
CmdrBrookeDolan: At any rate, do you feel
up to the task? I realize your promotion was
unexpected, but I need someone competent in
charge of my sickbay, especially now.
Chr Nathan Weiss has left the room.
Overlord M has left the room.
DrLaneWinn: I'm up to it, Commander.
Lt Allen Zinthys: ::Follows the engineer
who guides them... though he doesn't seem
to know the way very well::

pressure.
Lt Allen Zinthys: Pardon me, but is this a
new assignment for you?
StarfleetUFP: ::wlks into ready
room(apperntly tiard of waiting)::

she's here when she's technically
offduty::

anything, talk to Yatez up there ::Points
to Asian female on catwalk::
CmdrBrookeDolan: Ah, Mr. Valdes. I recall
your order now. Forgive me, it's been a bit
hectic around here lately.

Lt Allen Zinthys: @::calls up to her:: Ms.
Yatez! I'm Lieutenant Zinthys, from the
Atlantis. I was told you need assistance?
DrLaneWinn: If working under Meghan
Belcher taught us one thing, I suppose it was
the value of being prompt... if only to avoid
being bitched out.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Well, I only have a few
minutes, but I'd be happy to introduce you to
... oh, shoot. I sent half our staff over to the
Grissom. I'm afraid a formal introduction will
have to wait.
StarfleetUFP: I can wait sir...
Agent DanteSmith: ::walks into Main
Engineering...heads for the security
station::
DrLaneWinn: A few things... I speak as I feel
comfortable speaking. If anyone is
uncomfortable w/ my use of language, tell me.

I'm pleased to have you join us. I wish the
circumstances were a little better, but
hopefully our situation will improve soon.

productive work environment.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Permission granted.
Dismissed, Ensign. Thank you for coming to
see me.
DrLaneWinn: I want to see you all give
everything you're capable of giving.
