Lieutenant Commander Talia Ohnari ~ For the sake of lifesupport

[Roxanna Dorion]

(((Main Sickbay)))

Sickbay was buzzing like a hive of space bees. Talia, stood in the middle of the room, directing the flow of traffic. She's consider her the queen, but unlike the bees, she wasn't meant to sit in a corner and squeeze out larvae. While she wouldn't appreciate the conveyor belt of children exiting her orifice, but perhaps the constant offering of snacks without much effort might be enjoyable. For a bit. 

.....The universe was a darkly comedic place. Oblivious to the events happening outside the nebula they were currently stuck in...

So she was dutifully directing traffic, picturing an endless supply of snacks in a mildly dreamy fashion. 

That is how Lieutenant JG Ezra Zerva found her. 

Zerva: Lieutenant Jg Zerva and Gamma Shift reporting to sickbay ma’am.

Ohnari: ::addressing an orderly:: I want all non-essential testing in labs one through six suspended for the time being. Any elective exams or procedures will be rescheduled. ::pausing:: Hey Ez, ::turning back to the orderly:: Make sure all of the emergency stations are stocked with trauma bags and start with emergency lighting protocol Alpha seven. ::calling out to their back:: Thank yooou!!! 

Zerva: Any idea why Captain Naxell wanted my security team here? I assumed one shift would be enough. You don’t want all your chickens in one basket, right?

Talia snorted, it seemed Ez had picked up some of the Texas colloquialisms Lera was certainly raised around. 

Ohnari: ::grinning:: Eggs, Ez. Don't want all your eggs in one basket. ::shuddering:: Multiple chickens in the same basket is just asking for blood....::waving the thought away:: As far as security, I am sure you are here to help me direct angry med techs wanting to know why their fourteen hour experiment just got sidelined....

Zerva: ::nodding:: You did mention the battling down of hatches. Might as well get to it. Gamma Shift and I are at your disposal.

Ohnari: ::glancing at the crew:: Well, thank you! Currently we've got all non-essential staff prepping for full power loss. Life support might become overloaded trying to run a full ship. So we're closing down all labs and offices that aren't emergency response units. 

Zerva: Response 

A loud series of noises came from the direction of Science lab four. It started with the clanging of intruments hitting the floor, and then alarmingly shifted to angry, raised tones of someone getting incredibly creative insulting someone else's mother. 

Zerva: Response 

Ohnari: ::groaning:: Yeah....that's Doc Eldarn...he's been pushing for that zero G mold expansion theory for about...Ooohh....twelve months. He just got the approval last week....he is not complying it seems...

Doctor Eldarn was ancient. He walked hunched over, rubbing his hands together as he mumbled theories to himself. At first meeting, Talia was alarmed that someone was violating the cruelty to the eldery clause, forcing a man of his condition to work. That lasted all of five minutes. After a barely comprehensible conversation, she saw the spark of vast intelligence behind his furred brow. 

She was completely on to him. Act feeble, and weak? Expectations are kept basement level and one can do as they like. Normally he was harmless. But this time....? 

Zerva: Response 

Watching the two chosen security officers, the Haliian suddenly became concerned for their appendages and called out in warning. 

Ohnari: Do not let him fool you, he might be about six hundred years old, but that Antican is spry enough to yank off your ear if you corner him. 

Zerva/Gamma Shift: Response
