(( Corridor Outside the Operations Center, Deck 7, USS Octavia E. Butler ))
Aine was happy to see he responded well to the offer of doing his medical on his own time. Really, she just didn't want to set foot in Sickbay. Too many visits in the last few years caused her to avoid medical facilities like the plague...ironically. And if she could save herself the visit, and save someone else who probably most likely didn't want to be in there, then it was a win for both.
Sherlock: Good. You're lucky you mentioned lunch. ::shrugging:: I'm always starving, so, I'll show you the most important part of the ship, where you'll probably spend a lot of time: The Writer's Room.
Richards: The Writer’s Room? What’s that? Some type of library?
Sherlock: No. Although it feels like a library, it's the ship's lounge. They've got some secret stashes but oO There's always a but...Oo the bartender is a bit of a stickler and sets limits.
Richards: Oh… Oh! ::chuckling::
Sherlock: And ::looking around the corridor again:: the ship's on leave, there's a skeleton crew aboard ::beat:: so we can be a little lax with the regs.
Richards: Oh well then. Lead the way! I’ve always been good at not getting cut off.
Sherlock: Good. Self control is never a bad thing.
Did that just come out of her mouth? Aine could, and did, down whiskey and stout like a fish drank water. But it was probably a good idea anyway to at least try and set a good example. Aine nodded towards the nearest turbolift and began to lead the way.
Richards: So what else can you tell me about the ship?
Sherlock: ::entering the turbolift:: Deck 8. ::turning to Richards as the computer confirmed and closed the door:: Well, she's brand new. State of the art. And fast. There's a lot more automation due to the integration of Borg technology.
Richards: response
Sherlock: The computer is a good example. Some of the hardware is classified and only a few on the ship are even allowed to look at it and repair it. How much faster than the last bio-isolinear systems? Classified ::beat:: but it's a lot. And its predictive simulations are amazing. I had it run one and it did it twenty-five hundred times in four minutes.
Aine really did like the new computer. It cut planning and simulated testing in half. She hoped to soon use the training holodeck in Security to run training sims using those predictive algorithms , if she could find the time. See if it could give her more of a challenge than the simulations she used to have to manually render.
Richards: response
Sherlock: Leaves little room for error, that's for sure. We haven't had to use it in battle yet, but I'm guessing it'll give us quite the edge with maneuvering and firing solutions.
Richards: response
