Lost Harbor
Atlantis RP / atlantis-mission
Having survived the surprise Romulan attack that interrupted our planetary cataloging mission, we endeavor to resume it the following morning while repairs are still underway. Still in orbit around the watery planet with only one small volcanic island in a sea of prokaryotic life, we press onward in our survey, with an away team potentially on the agenda here before we can move on to the rest of the planets in this contact binary system; an ice-covered terrestrial world and a gas giant have yet to be visited.

CO: Shall I summon an Operations team to clean immediately, or schedule it for the next shift change?
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:43:33
CSO: It is fine now; schedule it for later.
MED Lt Acacia 03-Mar-2021 21:43:58
:: has been giving a number of fit-for-duty passes, fortunately. She taps at her console, pulling up her next report to work on it ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:44:13
:: nods and turns back to her console, putting in a Ops request for Bridge cleaning at the next shift change ::
XO Cdr Kuari 03-Mar-2021 21:44:53
CO/CSO: When the bridge sparks, it tends to leave a smell for a while. It will pass with normal air circulation.
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:45:15
XO: Anyway, before we were so rudely interrupted, I believe we were talking about getting down to that lonely island?
CTO Cpt Grey 03-Mar-2021 21:45:28
:: sighs and steps closer to the captain, dropping her tone :: CO: When you have a minute, ma'am... can I talk to you? Privately?
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:45:57

CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:48:18
:: enters the ready room and doesn't go behind her desk, not wanting that barrier between her and Grey, and waits for the doors to close before speaking :: CTO: What is it, Ryleigh?
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 21:48:42
:: waits for Grey to go into the ready room with the CO and moves to the primary tactical station ::
XO Cdr Kuari 03-Mar-2021 21:49:04
:: watches Harper and Grey leave the bridge, turning her attention to Wright :: CSO: Alexis, do you have anyone on your teams that specialize in marine studies? I would think most that should go down would be from your department, and you of course if you wish.

:: stares at the console ::
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 21:49:40

:: taps a couple of buttons, all systems nominal and ready to go ::
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 21:50:06
:: thinks :: None of your business, Zoë.
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 21:50:16
:: ignores a couple of things he doesn't recognize ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:50:59
XO: Oh, certainly. And since the volcano is actively erupting, I'm definitely personally interested in it from a geological standpoint. But I have two marine specialists and another geologist who I'm sure would love to go.
CTO Cpt Grey 03-Mar-2021 21:51:12
CO: I know Lt. Ammora shouldn't have been reassigned to the bridge, but that was the only station that I could keep a firm eye on him, despite his current behavior... I warned him very clearly before shift started that if he put one toe out of line, he'd be helping the janitorial staff until we get back to Earth.
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 21:51:23
:: under his breath :: Torpedoes, shields, phasers...
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:51:51
:: nods along as Grey speaks :: CTO: I read your report. You handled that well.

XO Cdr Kuari 03-Mar-2021 21:52:55

ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 21:53:25
:: tries to think of an excuse to advocate for, oh, say, an Engineer’s presence on the away team but can’t think of one, and can’t muster the courage to say something anyway ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 03-Mar-2021 21:55:13
::Steps off of the TL onto the bridge, looking around for a moment under his hood, before sliding up to his station.::

:: turns her head towards Acacia and opens her mouth to speak, but grins :: MED: I was just going to ask. I'm sure there are scans and samples you would like to collect as well.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 03-Mar-2021 21:56:47
::Raises his hand and shakes his head.:: ENG: That's quite alright, my dear girl. ::Sits in the free seat next to her, and begins typing at his station.::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:56:48
XO: Be advised, anyone visiting should be equipped with thick-soled boots.
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 21:57:16
:: wonders how in the world one goes about asking her superior officer not to call her ‘My dear girl.’ ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:57:27
XO: The terrain is rugged and may be somewhat hot if you step in the wrong places.
CTO Cpt Grey 03-Mar-2021 21:57:51
:: nods, giving a slight smile :: CO: Thank you. I thought... you may want to know before anything happens. I was very clear about expressing that this reassignment was not a promotion, but more as a punishment during our talk yesterday. He has one final chance here, then he's finding himself helping the janitorial staff.
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:58:34
XO: Like.. the soles of your shoes might melt. That kind of hot.
MED Lt Acacia 03-Mar-2021 21:58:53
:: nods, making a note to change her shoes ::
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 21:59:12
CTO: I hope he gets the message. Personnel troubles like that can be the most difficult part of leading a department, and I am impressed that you took care of it without needing to escalate.
CTO: In fact, given your performance in the recent conflicts, along with how you handled that disciplinary matter, I am removing the "Acting" from your title. Congratulations, Chief! :: offers a smile and a handshake ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 21:59:41

CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 22:52:58

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 03-Mar-2021 22:53:37
NAV: I feel the past weighing on me heavily recently. And I greatly miss her.
NAV Lt Navarro 03-Mar-2021 22:54:21
:: looks forward a moment, then back to Ilaihr :: CEO: Have you thought of recreating her in the holodeck?
MED Lt Acacia 03-Mar-2021 22:54:56
:: closes her scanner and visually checks out the rocks around the lava flow ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 22:54:58
ENG: Excellent. Would you mind helping us set it up? I'd like one tripod right here, Olsen will take one up the slope a bit, and I'll take one across the lava flow.
XO Cdr Kuari 03-Mar-2021 22:55:07
:: stands nearby, watching Wright, Acacia and D'bryn ::
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 22:55:26
:: eventually approaches the lava flow, making a bit of idle conversation with Grey as they walk ::
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 22:55:32
CSO: Absolutely, ma’am.
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 22:55:52

Olsen> :: takes a tripod and hikes 20 meters up the slope next to the lava flow ::
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 22:56:15
:: takes out a third tripod and sets it up ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 03-Mar-2021 22:56:25
::Shakes his head.:: NAV: No. I feel it would be too unhealthy; to step into a facsimile is a dangerous temptation into madness.
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 22:56:30
:: stays close to Olsen, but not too close as directed ::
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 22:56:34
:: notes the heat, but isn't bothered from it, since her hometown is tropical ::
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 22:56:45
Olsen: What about this mission intrigues you the most?
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 22:56:58
:: takes the tripod from D'bryn and tucks it close to her body, crossing the lava flow with a running jump ::
MED Lt Acacia 03-Mar-2021 22:57:29

:: widens eyes at Wright’s nimble leap over a lava flow :: Self: Holy shit.
XO Cdr Kuari 03-Mar-2021 22:57:34
:: opens her wings reflexively, watching Wright hop over lava ::
CO Capt Harper 03-Mar-2021 22:58:18
:: approaches the lava flow where it enters the sea, then her eyes go wide and she takes in a sharp breath when she sees Lexy jump it ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 22:58:26
Olsen> :: looks at Ammora with surprise at being spoken to :: TAC: Oh. Well. Uh. I'm a geologist. You know? So getting a chance to study an eruptive feature? On another world? Is pretty cool? :: is nervous ::
ENG Ens D'bryn 03-Mar-2021 22:58:28
:: makes sure the tripod is functioning, but leaves the actual scientibulationcies to the sciencers ::
CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 22:59:22
:: lands on the other side of the thin flow and continues another 20 meters or so along the shoreline before stopping to set up her tripod, blissfully unaware of people staring at her ::
TAC 2Lt Ammora 03-Mar-2021 22:59:23
Olsen: I didn't mean to interrupt. It's just... uh... my first away mission... I don't know whether to wonder in the excitement or think we're all going to die.
NAV Lt Navarro 03-Mar-2021 22:59:36
:: nods a few times in pseudo-understanding ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 03-Mar-2021 22:59:50

CSO Cdr Wright 03-Mar-2021 23:00:39
Olsen> TAC: Oh! The Commander said that it's pretty safe here. As long as you don't stand in the lava. That's not safe. But there's no... you know? Shooty shooty?
