Lim: Back to Commander Williams’ earlier question. I do believe that better defining roles in the case of a biological threat to the ship would be a good idea; if only to avoid a jurisdiction dispute that wastes time that would be better spent fixing the problem.
Drex: Williams is right to ask. :: He shifted on the chair :: Clarity matters. But Stapledon is also right. When a biological threat becomes a systems threat, it stops belonging to a single department.
Kettick: That seems like the logical conclusion, especially in the cases where the biological agent could affect the crew and the ship equally.
Williams: Response
Lim: From my understanding most of the responsibility for the bio-neural gel packs falls under engineering since their responsibilities have them acting with the packs and the network far more regularly.
Drex: That makes sense for routine operations. But when something else happens, responsibility expands with it. Engineering may lead on the gel packs, but they shouldn’t be facing a biological threat without Medical and Science already involved.
Kettick: Let us not forget the cases when the biological threat has teeth and claws.
Stapledon: Not to mention something with teeth and claws crawling out of the gel packs.
Williams: Response
Drex: That’s the point. If the network fails, all systems are affected, so all departments are already involved. Each department should consider a shared diagnostic plan and, ideally, a group of specialists working across disciplines.
Kettick: I believe we already have a dedicated department that takes the lead in times of crisis to provide oversight and assign specialists to the various hotpoints as needed. Namely, yours, sir.
oO Ah more responsibility for Drex. Oo
Williams: Response
Drex: We can’t pretend to solve it now, but I invite you to think about it. ::He leaned forward reaching of his glass once more.:: Anything else?
Kettick: In light of the recent events, I would ask Security and Tactical for their suggestions of possible defensive upgrades to our systems. Other departments are of course welcome to contribute in their own areas of competence.
Noemi had no suggestions and therefore kept quiet.
Drex/Williams: Response
Kettick: Now that you mention it, the installation of defensive hardware in the Jefferies tubes could be a viable option in case of an invasion. I will make a note of that possibility.
Lim: If we’re going to do that, perhaps we could add quarantine indicators as well?
The Eagle’s ventilation system was set up to quarantine specific areas of the ship which included the ventilation systems in the Jefferies tubes, you just wouldn’t know that areas were blocked off until you ran into them.
