Ana: It should be just a few more minutes.

:: walks into Sickbay, and then realizes she's still holding the compensator::

:: sighs ::

:: raises an eyebrow as Zoë enters with something in her hand :: ENG: I didn’t mean to pull you from anything.

MED: You didn't. I'll just, uh... :: finds a surface that looks least likely be in use, sets the compensator there :: I'll get that on my way out.

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 21:44:57

:: throws up a hand, but it doesn't go as far as she expects, her arm still heavy from recovering :: CO: I...didn't think about it, honestly. It' what I told the Xovul, I... :: sighs again, pausing, then meets Harper's eyes again :: You know when you tell yourself something enough, you start to believe it?

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 21:45:17

:: meets Stecker's eyes, evaluating her honesty ::

MED Lt Acacia 14-Apr-2021 21:45:43

:: chuckles, patting the bed for the full body scanner :: ENG: Alright. Lay down here and we’ll get started.

SCI Lt Herschel 14-Apr-2021 21:46:04

:: hums to self as she looks for the decently warmer areas of the moon, which is more favorable for sustaining life than extreme cold ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 14-Apr-2021 21:47:16

:: taps the tactical console ::

ENG Ens D'bryn 14-Apr-2021 21:47:39

MED: On my last ship there was a myth that one of the biobeds would eat you if you got too close.

CMO Lt Tailor 14-Apr-2021 21:48:08

::hits a button as the console beeps:: Ana/CO: And it's done. ::at the same time, gets a message back from the academy:: CO/Ana: The records are a match.

::Wanders down the corridor with Amber Sun in tow, coming to the doors to engineering.:: ~Amber~: Now, beyond here; is engineering. Its is the... heart of the ship.

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 21:48:38

:: closes her eyes a moment, then looks back at Harper, hoping they can just move past this ::

MED Lt Acacia 14-Apr-2021 21:48:48

:: slowly pushes the bed into the scanner, the chamber bathing Zoë in a blue light from all sides while the Doctor works on the screen outside the chamber :: ENG: Well, would it? :: she chuckles :: I wonder how things like that start.

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 21:48:48

:: finishes her long look at Ana, then looks up and nods at the doctor :: CMO: Thank you, doctor.

Ana: I will contact the Admiral and call for you when he can speak with you.

ENG Ens D'bryn 14-Apr-2021 21:49:40

MED: It was one of those in-jokes from before my time. I never understood it. Anytime anyone said, 'Biobed 3,' everyone would laugh and mock-scream.

:: gets scanned ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 14-Apr-2021 21:50:31

<Amber Sun> ::Nods along with the analogy, before pawsing, and looking to Ilaihr quizzically.:: CEO: If Atalantees have heart... will wall bleed if I break? ::Gives the old man a toothy grin.::

Ana: And welcome back aboard the Atlantis, Anastasia. :: smiles at Stecker ::

CSO Cdr Wright 14-Apr-2021 21:51:35

:: folds her hands behind her back, still holding the PADD ::

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 21:51:36

:: smiles at Harper ::

CTO Cpt Grey 14-Apr-2021 21:51:58

:: looks at Anastasia, keeping expression unreadable ::

MED Lt Acacia 14-Apr-2021 21:52:06

:: taps at the screen, running scans on each of Zoë’s body systems one after the other :: ENG: That sounds funny, but I’m glad we don’t do that here.

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 21:52:25

:: turns away and nods at Lexy, then heads toward the doors :: CTO: Escort her up when I call, please, Captain Grey.

ENG Ens D'bryn 14-Apr-2021 21:52:45

MED: Yeah, I'm glad I grew out of private jokes.

CSO Cdr Wright 14-Apr-2021 21:53:19

:: takes one last look at Stecker, then nods at Dr. Tailor and turns to follow Kate ::

CTO Cpt Grey 14-Apr-2021 21:53:22

:: nods :: CO: If... I may ask a favor, could you ask Ammora to comm me when you return to the bridge, ma'am? This is his first time manning... alone, and I'm hestiant that he's... not doing well.

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 21:54:05

CTO: Certainly. :: exits with Lexy and enters the TL, directing it to the bridge ::

MED Lt Acacia 14-Apr-2021 21:54:23

:: finishes up, the light in the chamber dimming to its passive white as the Doctor pulls the bed back out. She slides it over to the wall where the stamina test device is :: ENG: Alright, now for the fun part. Put your feet on these pedals and go until you can’t go anymore.

CTO Cpt Grey 14-Apr-2021 21:54:45

:: nods, turning back to look at Anastasia squarely ::

ENG Ens D'bryn 14-Apr-2021 21:55:21

:: thinks:: Everyone on this ship wants me to exercise. :: out loud :: MED: Be prepared to be underwhelmed.

CSO Cdr Wright 14-Apr-2021 21:55:33

:: looks at her PADD again as they ride the TL :: CO: Do you trust her?

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 21:55:44

:: looking around at everyone, lingers a moment on Grey who is watching her intensely ::

MED Lt Acacia 14-Apr-2021 21:55:56

:: smiles :: ENG: Don’t worry, you’re only compared to yourself.

:: finds regions of the moon that tends to average about 2-3 degrees higher than the rest of it. :: Self: Ja! Schöner Mond. :: pats the display of the moon in front of her ::

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 21:56:44

:: squeezes Lexy's hand as they ride :: CSO: So far, yes. Why would she drop out so close to graduation, though? Regardless, I am certain that the Admiral will have something to say.

ENG Ens D'bryn 14-Apr-2021 21:57:07

:: already she feels the burn in her thighs ::

CMO Lt Tailor 14-Apr-2021 21:57:14

::doesn't want to pass judgement on Ana just yet, but would love to know what exactly she was thinking when she went to join the Xovul::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 14-Apr-2021 21:57:31

::Doesn't turn to the young bear, only smirking under his hood, before he strides through the doors. The warp core sits in the centre of view, gently thrumming away and emitting the pulsating light of pure energy.::

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 21:57:39

:: has a flash of a Xovul judging her and frowns :: CTO: Yes, what? You were looking at me is all.

CSO Cdr Wright 14-Apr-2021 21:57:51

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 14-Apr-2021 21:58:41

CTO Cpt Grey 14-Apr-2021 21:59:00

Stecker: I am head of Security of this ship, and the Captain has put you under my watch until she calls for you. Therefore, I keep an eye on you.

CSO Cdr Wright 14-Apr-2021 22:00:01

CO: Aye, Captain. :: takes her station back from Gunnarsdottir and begins tapping the screen ::

Anastasia Stecker 14-Apr-2021 22:00:15

CTO: Of course. That's fine. I have no questions. :: makes a point of looking elsewhere, peering around, finding herself eventually thinking about all the history that's happened on this ship since she has been away ::

:: blows out a labored breath :: MED: Glad someone thinks so.

CMO Lt Tailor 14-Apr-2021 22:00:59

Ana: So, do you remember living on this ship when you were young?

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 14-Apr-2021 22:01:26

Amber: That, is the warp core, my dear boy. It is what gives Atlantis power, what allows us to... chase the stars. ::Chuckles.::

CO Capt Harper 14-Apr-2021 22:01:55

XO: Perhaps a bit of both, I think.

XO Cdr Kuari 14-Apr-2021 22:39:47

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 14-Apr-2021 22:52:10

Amber: Until then, my dear boy, I think you should retreat from here. We shall resume your lesson another time... I will require more deliberation on this matter. You hadn't had such issues until you came within engineering, so it should be safe to assume there is a proximity to the effect.
