Lost Harbor
Atlantis RP / atlantis-mission
A week after the Xovul attack on Refuge, repairs are underway in earnest, and Atlantis has been joined by the Challenger and the Columbia. Starfleet engineers work alongside Free Fleets crews, some having to work in EVA suits, some using heavy equipment, to return Refuge to its former state. The promenade is partially open for business, but some of the merchant traders are instead using their ships to bring supplies in to aid the repair efforts. Morale is high, despite the losses and constant reminders of them, with news of Queen Ashexana's address to the Federation Council giving the people here hope that powerful allies will assist them the next time the Xovul attack.

SCI Lt Herschel 19-May-2021 21:36:16
:: taps console to the sing-songy pattern of her mental thoughts I do not like this one little bit. This is quite something else. I am not used to this at all. I need to stop shaking like a chihuahua. ::

CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 21:47:28

CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 22:57:52
+Atlantis+ I am not going to lie and say that we will all be alright. Even those who are uninjured suffer the trauma of war.

Hannah Ziredac 19-May-2021 22:58:20
Just to make conversation, it’s okay if you don’t wanna talk business, but just curious: What’s the job you had in mind?
SCI Lt Herschel 19-May-2021 22:58:22
:: I did not sign up for this ::
TAC 2Lt Ammora 19-May-2021 22:58:38
+Damien+ I'm asking you to do your job.
CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 22:58:48
+Atlantis+ But I promise you all, my crew, and this family that we will fight our hardest to defend the values that our uniform represents, each other, and this ship that we call home. I will personally do my best to get you home.

:: slightly shook as she picks up the rug and heads for the recycler, despite the rug being incredibly valuable :: Not... not now, Hannah.
CSO Cdr Wright 19-May-2021 22:59:25
:: knows this is the right thing to do and is happy to be protecting their allies, but is fearful of another war with a foe as fearsome as the Xovul ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-May-2021 22:59:43
::Just quietly sighs.::
CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 22:59:57
+Atlantis+ If it comes to war, it will be a hard-fought one. But I would not want to go into it aboard any other ship, or with any other crew. Harper out.

Here, lemme take a gander.

SCI Lt Herschel 19-May-2021 23:02:20
:: glances up, still internally panic screaming ::
CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 23:02:27
CSO: No need for a channel, just orders for the captains. My speech was for us, and their captains will make similar ones for them.
Hannah Ziredac 19-May-2021 23:02:43
Yeah, speaking of my brother, he gave me a bloody nose once when we were kids, and he forced me to clean it up so our parents wouldn’t find out. I got pretty good at it.
CSO Cdr Wright 19-May-2021 23:02:54
CO: Aye, Captain.
CO Capt Harper 19-May-2021 23:02:56
:: knows for a fact that some of the captains already here are more qualified to be leading the fleet than she is, and doesn't want to step on their toes ::
Venya Kashar 19-May-2021 23:03:44
:: hands Hannah the rug :: It... is unfortunate how many people here are good at cleaning up blood. I try to avoid it.

::The intensity eases of as he controls the intake; he breathes deeply for a moment, before composing himself. He places his hand on his console, before slowly turning in his seat and looking around the bridge. He sighs again.::
