((Holodeck 2, Deck 2, Artemis-A))
By now Breys was desperate to move past this problem. The files had to be somewhere, Jovenan wouldn’t just let her work without clearance, right? She began to run through everything that had happened since arriving on the Artemis. The staff that helped her in the sickbay seemed a lot more concerned with the fine details of her trip through the teleporters than any other part of clearing her for duty, and everything was supposedly fine at the time. Was it possible the importance of her condition had weaseled its way into their file structure?
Breys: Wait! Maybe try looking for the scan of my brain files? I bet you my physical is in a subfolder of that.
Lt. Storm gave D’tin a questioning look.
Storm: Inside your brain scan? Why would it be there?
There was a small pause as Breys attempted to find the words to explain every strange reason she thought may have caused it, but before she could start her speech, Storm spoke up again.
Storm: Well, why it’s there of all places, I suppose, is irrelevant at this moment. You are medically cleared, so we can get started.
Breys: Thank you, sir.
At least things were finally moving.
Storm walked to a pedestal with a phaser perched on it. She snatched it from its resting place, and holding it by the barrel, she handed it over to Breys. D’tin immediately began setting her feet in the proper form, attempting to remember every second of her training
Storm: Check the settings. Make sure it’s set to stun.
Breys lowered the phaser.
Breys: I’m sorry, sir
She struggled silently with the settings for a moment.
Storm: Good, now let me see how you’d stand if you planned to fire the phaser.
After some awkward shuffling, Breys returned to the position she was just in. She held the phaser at the ready but pointed towards the ground.
Breys: I think this is the main stance they taught during my senior year?
oO Or was this a warm up pose?Oo
Storm: Response
Breys glared at her feet while she tried to get them worked into the proper position.
Breys: Is this any better?
Storm: Response
That was enough for D’tin, she wasn’t in Tactical for a reason.
Breys: ::more upbeat:: What’s next then?
Storm: Response
