CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:25:47

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:28:51

:: presumes to take a seat :: CO: Well, it’s less about how you can help me, and more about how I can help your Engineer here. :: gestures to Zoë :: Short version’s this: I’m potentially in some trouble (that I completely don’t deserve to be in, by the way, but I’ll get to that), and Ms. D’bryn here discovered this fact. Tough position for her. She doesn’t wanna be an accessory, but balks at the notion of turning in her new best friend. :: indicates self with thumb ::

CO: So I’m here to come clean to the nearest person of highest authority, to save her the trouble.

:: nearly passes out again ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:29:48

Hannah: Alriiiight. :: folds her hands together :: Tell me about it.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:30:24

:: an eyebrow goes up at the ding :: SCI: It would seem your attention is in high demand today.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:31:44

:: takes a broken dermal regenerator that one of the nurses found and takes a minute to pop it open to see if the problem is obvious ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:32:17

CAG: Oh that is an understatement. There's a lot of botany experiments going on and I'm supervising too many gosh darn ensigns. And I am on my way to pick up specimens now. :: the PADD ding!s again and Rike sighs, glancing at it and sending a quick response ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:33:08

:: quickly remembers that she is not an engineer and sets the broken device aside for professional attention. She puts in a maintenance request ::

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:33:22

CO: Well, I have a chronic condition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I’ve been in some sticky situations with some actual criminals, but my nose is clean. Problem is, there’s a particular Starfleet captain who doesn’t give a shit about things like :: finger-quotes :: ‘lack of evidence’, ‘no warrants’, ‘plenty of reasonable doubt’, yada-yada. And he’s parked his ship in the same orbit we’re in. A-a-a-a-and he’s my brother.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:34:10

SCI: I did not realize that botany was so occupied as of late. That would serve as an explanation for the small collection of new plants that have appeared in my quarters.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:34:17

:: the light of recognition clicks on in her head :: Hannah: Captain Ziredac of the Meridian, yes?

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:34:40

CO: :: finger-gun / tongue click ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:35:51

:: begins compiling the finalized list as the count from the last quadrant of Sickbay comes in ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:36:33

:: pauses a moment, considering :: Hannah: Alright. If, as you say, there are no warrants for your arrest, then you have nothing to fear from me. Any conflicts with your brother are between you and him, as far as I am concerned.

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:36:41

CAG: Ahh! I have quite a plant collection myself in my quarters. An entire wall, in fact! :: keeps her hands to herself, knowing perfectly well about Vulcans and... hands. instead gives another nod :: CAG: Lieutenant Rike Herschel. What's your name?

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:37:28

CO: And of course, you’re free to check my claims, and keep whatever security on me as you see fit. Whatever you need. Just as long as Zoë isn’t caught up in my bullshit.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:37:33

:: inclines her head ever so slightly :: SCI: Lieutenant Commander T'Lira. It is my son collecting the plants, although I do not mind their presence.

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 21:37:36

:: sighs, turning to lean her back against the console and fixing her attention on Ammora :: TAC: I'm... fine. At least, I think so? There's a lot of work for Everly and myself, and... well... Ethan and I are currently discussing over trying.

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:37:58

:: looks at Hannah, feeling literally all of the emotions ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:39:25

CTO: I had the pleasure, or displeasure, of sparring with Everly recently. He's good. He's smart. Showed me a thing or two.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:39:30

:: taps away at her PADD, not hearing a nurse trying to ask her a question ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:39:47

CTO: I'll be honest... he beat me badly. I got ONE good shot.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:40:27

:: smiles at them both:: Hannah: Of course, I will verify your claims. But, thank you for coming to me with this; it certainly helps keep me out of a difficult position. And, it would appear that Zoë has made a good friend.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:41:12

:: blinks ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:41:14

CAG: Your son has good taste in hobbies, then. :: the turbolift dings and the door opens at deck 17 :: CAG: What are you getting from here? :: looks down at PADD to double check the number of specimens ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:41:35

CTO: Over-trying? With regards to what, may I ask?

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:42:07

CO: Hey, anytime, Cap. And yeah, Zoë’s a peach.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:42:15

:: blinks, looking up :: Nurse: Hm? Oh, sure, bring his chart here.

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:42:40

:: blushes so hard her extremities go numb ::

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:42:44

SCI: A former colleague sent a small collection of books, but I was unable to collect them until now.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:43:07

Hannah, if you do not mind, I would like to speak with Zoë privately. You are welcome to wait outside for her, though.

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:43:49

CO: Sure thing. Thanks for your time. Lemme know if you need anything from me. Zoë: Good luck, Zo.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:44:08

:: takes the chart and orders the patient some more meds before handing the chart back to the nurse and refocusing on her supply inventory ::

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:44:11

:: get up, heads back onto the bridge and waits by the door ::

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:44:30

:: clears throat :: CO: I’m sorry for us dumping all that on you, Captain.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:44:32

:: glances at Hannah as she exits the Ready Room ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:44:35

CAG: Ahh, interesting. Books of what topic?

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:44:58

:: before speaking to Zoe, she taps out a quick message to Lexy to verify Hannah Ziredac has no outstanding warrants, cross-referenced with any biometric data gathered during her visit from sickbay ::

ENG: It is alright, Lieutenant. The desire to help a friend is a strong one. Believe me, I know. :: offers a reassuring smile ::

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:45:40

SCI: I believe an assortment of books appropriate for children, but little else was made specific. I believe they are from Earth, which may prove... interesting. Elena has an unfortunate habit of not specifying such details.

CSO Cdr Wright 09-Jun-2021 21:45:48

:: looks down at her console as she receives the message from the Captain, and sets about carrying out her orders ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:46:10

:: taps out another quick message to Captain Grey to keep an eye on Ms. Ziredac while she is on the bridge waiting ::

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 21:46:11

:: raises an eyebrow at Ammora :: TAC: Children? :: gets the comm, and turns to glance at Ziredac ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:47:35

CAG: Yes. Right. Us humans and the lack of details. :: blinks as she gets a flashback to the Wright wink, and blinks again :: CAG: I don't know what your son likes but I could get some botany books from my personal collection for him.

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:47:44

:: sees the TAC folks looking at her, gives a hammy smile and wave ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:48:07

:: stares, horribly unsure of what to say :: CTO: I, uh, that's a conversation... I mean... when you're ready... It's, uh...

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:48:19

:: edits her inventory log to make it more presentable, getting the formatting just right ::

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:48:24

SCI: I believe that would entertain him greatly. He is... what was the phrase... reading anything he can get his hands on? I believe that is correct.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:49:52

:: glances back at Hannah, ignores the wave ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:50:50

CAG: Oh I remember when I went through the same thing. I once read a 800 page textbook in less than a day for fun. Didn't even have to, yet I insisted.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:51:26

:: stands and walks to the other chair, removing the barrier of the desk :: ENG: Commander Ilaihr's departure, in ordinary circumstances, would be handled by other veteran engineer, likely from another Sovereign class, transferring in to become Chief.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:51:34

SCI: It is always recommended to know the course material prior to it actually being needed. I do not see the issue.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:52:07

:: files away the inventory report, asks one of the nurses to clean up, and heads out of Sickbay ::

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:52:33

:: was worried about this, but plays it cool ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:53:44

ENG: But, these are obviously not ordinary circumstances. There are a few qualified candidates in the fleet here, but we are out too far with a looming war to consider everyone.

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:53:59

CAG: It isn't the standard where I'm from. Though it is my dad that always was meticulous and told me that knowing things ahead of time was better than to... cause a screw up.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:54:16

SCI: A "screw up"? I am not familiar with the term.

XO Cdr Kuari 09-Jun-2021 21:54:37

:: notes Ziredac standing outside the RR door, but doesn't say anything as it's clear she's just waiting and looks back to her console ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:54:59

:: makes her way to the turbolift :: TL: Bridge. :: she looks up when she speaks to the computer, as always, for some reason. Do other people do that? she wonders ::

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 21:55:08

:: gestures sharply for Ziredac :: Hannah: Over here. Until the captain calls you back, I want you to not step an inch out of our line of sight. Am I clear?

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:55:09

:: nods :: CO: Of course, Captain.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:55:33

ENG: Also, much like I recently did with Captain Grey, I want to give my people their best chance to advance and thrive. :: smiles and meets her eyes ::

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:55:47

:: smirks :: CTO: Sure thing, boss. :: saunters over to the TAC station ::

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:56:11

:: nods a little more nervously ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:56:15

:: looks to Grey ::

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:56:48

:: stands a little too close to the TAC officers, peers over the shoulder at the console :: CTO/TAC: Any bad guys out there?

XO Cdr Kuari 09-Jun-2021 21:56:48

:: notes Grey's command to Ziredac and wonders if Grey knows something she doesn't, finding it odd ::

CSO Cdr Wright 09-Jun-2021 21:56:54

:: taps out a message to Kate that Hannah Ziredac's record appears to be clear ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:56:59

CAG: Yes. Err let's see... I need to translate... :: squints to self as she mentally translates from German to Standard :: CAG: To make a big mistake or blunder.

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 21:57:00

:: glares at Hannah :: Hannah: It's Captain Grey to you. Boss is not an approved method of address for a Marine captain. Sit down and shut up.

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:57:10

:: steps onto the bridge and is immediately struck by the unusual mood, proceeding cautiously to her station ::

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 21:57:28

:: smirks slightly at Grey's command, having been at the forefront of that recently ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 21:57:52

ENG: I want to make you Acting Chief Engineer, Lieutenant. I have seen what you are capable of, and I would not even offer you the job if I were not completely confident in your ability to do it. Will you do it, Zoë? I would never set you up to fail.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:58:09

SCI: It has been made apparent to me over the course of my career that mistakes are a rather ordinary part of one's life. We learn from mistakes. Is that not more desirable than simply forcing oneself to be perfect at all times?

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 21:58:11

:: exaggerated phew gesture :: CTO: Welp, not being Starfleet, consider me relieved that I didn’t commit a faux pas. Where do I sit? Right here, on the floor?

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 21:58:50

:: raises an eyebrow :: Hannah: Where else? Sit. ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 21:59:08

:: can’t help but roll her eyes. This woman... ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 21:59:12

CAG: Yes. But if someone can prevent mistakes, isn't it better to do so than to clean up a mess later?

ENG LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 21:59:30

:: stands to be as close as possible to eye-level; nods :: CO: I think I will, Captain. Thank you for your confidence in me.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 21:59:53

SCI: Can one truly grow if they do not err?

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 22:00:13

CTO: So you’re a dog person. Yeah, you don’t strike me as a cat lady.

:: sits on the floor ::

CSO Cdr Wright 09-Jun-2021 22:00:40

:: glances back at the person speaking so casually on the Bridge ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 22:00:49

:: beams :: CEO: Wonderful, and congratulations! Take good care of my ship, and after we get through this difficult time ahead, we can see about removing the "Acting" from your title.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 22:00:54

:: watches the exchange between Grey and Hannah, standing nearby not engaging ::

CEO LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 22:01:42

CO: I absolutely will. :: smiles ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 22:02:34

CEO: I know that you will, Chief. :: returns the smile as she walks back to her desk, and sees the message from Lexy :: Oh, and by the way, your friend Hannah checks out. She is as clean as a thistle.

CEO LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 22:03:13

CO: Oh, good. Permission to speak candidly for a moment, Captain?

CTO Cpt Grey 09-Jun-2021 22:03:47

:: is inwardly grumbling :: Hannah: I grew up with both. And it would be good for you to be aware that your behavior does not stand around the Starfleet organization, particularly around the marine branch.

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 22:03:53

:: dips her head :: CEO: By all means.

Hannah Ziredac 09-Jun-2021 22:05:25

:: almost ruins her run of good luck by running her mouth a little more, but clams up ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 22:05:45

:: smirks, then covers her mouth, too amused by the bridge drama to keep from showing it ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 22:06:03

CAG: Growth from mistakes is important. While avoiding them is impossible, having the background and knowledge of what to do can help one bounce back, eh?

CEO LtJG D’bryn 09-Jun-2021 22:06:29

CO: Hannah hasn’t told me anything substantial, but from what hints she’s dropped, I’m a little worried about her brother. As in, what he’ll do to her. He sounds… Well, she’s clearly scared.

CAG LCdr T’Lira 09-Jun-2021 22:06:38

SCI: Indeed it can.

TAC 2Lt Ammora 09-Jun-2021 22:07:00

:: looks at Grey, talking to Hannah ::

MED LCdr Acacia 09-Jun-2021 22:08:58

:: clears her throat, breaking the pause :: XO: Our inventory of medical supplies is done. Happy to report we are, as always, ready for crisis.

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 22:09:43

:: glances at PADD for more questions and just responds with a if you cut yourself with a scalpel please go directly to sickbay before you message me about it ::

XO Cdr Kuari 09-Jun-2021 22:10:39

:: looks over to Acacia as soon as she realizes she's addressed and smiles :: Thank you, doctor!

CSO Cdr Wright 09-Jun-2021 22:11:01

:: shakes her head, somewhat annoyed by the lack of decorum by the newcomer ::

SCI Lt Herschel 09-Jun-2021 22:11:06

:: gives T'Lira another nod as she turns into the cargo bay and looks around for the box of plant specimens ::

CO Capt Harper 09-Jun-2021 22:11:08

:: thinks for a moment, then looks back at her with concern :: CEO: I do not know Captain Ziredac, or what has happened between him and his sister. But, Hannah is not a wanted criminal, so he has no power over a civilian, and even if she were wanted, knowing what I do now, I would handle that personally instead of turning her over to him. If she does not wish for him to find her, and if it appears that his finding Hannah would endanger her, then I will not help him.
