[sb118-khitomer] Lieutenant (JG) Ezra Zerva - Battening Down Of Hatches In Sickbay.
BC Cooper
((Briefing Room, Deck 1, USS Khitomer - near the Ceram Archipelago))
Zerva: ::beat:: Is it just me or is the nebula getting closer to us?
Semara joined Ezra at the window looking out at the nebula that was moving closer.
Semara: :: Hushed. :: Just like old times, eh Ezra?
If by old times she meant the other nebula where they were doused in Sencha causing Ezra a headache, requiring one too many water tablets and getting the butt jab, then yes.
Ezra was thankful, at least this time, there were no time traveling Hobart holes or Vulcan SCE overlooking their shoulders.
Zerva: ::smiling whispering:: So, which crew member are we naming this one after?
Pausing, he looked down for the briefest of seconds, realizing that not everyone who was on the last two nebula missions was here now.
Semara: :: Quietly awed :: ...How is it movin'?
Nicholotti: There's nothing specific containing it.
It was odd and rather unusual the way it was moving.
Semara: :: Pointing :: There - look. Look at that arm a' the cloud relative to that arm. They're both extendin' out, pinching. :: Pointing :: And there's another finger. Wasn't there before. It's definitely movin'.
Nicholotti: That it is.
Much like a cloud on earth, twisting and shaping as it moves about.
Zerva: The way it’s moving, is it trying to outflank us?
Surely the bridge knew? Ezra reached for his combadge, ready to sound the alarm, but was beaten to it by Commander Naxell’s announcement.
Naxell: =/\= Attention all hands, this is the captain. We are, currently, trapped by some unknown force. But we won’t stay that way. Keep your heads, keep working, and we’ll get out of this together. =/\=
Keeping his head wasn’t a problem for the Lt. Jg. He had to grow fast as an ensign and take what he had learned in order to keep the security department in working order..
oO Team work, makes the dream work. Oo
Naxell: =/\= Naxell to Lieutenant Semara. Report to the Bridge, and give Commander Dewitt everything you’ve got so far. =/\=
Well alrighty then. Looks like what little they had would have to do.
Semara: =/\= Yessir. =/\=
But what about Ezra and the Admiral?
Nicholotti: =/\= Plans for the rest of us, captain? =/\=
Naxell: =/\= Admiral, I think your skills would be welcome in Engineering. We’ll need to keep the ship’s power supply stable and stretch out our reserves as long as we can. Lieutenant Zerva, you and your security team will be needed in Sickbay. Naxell out. =/\=
Zerva: =/\= Yes sir, I’m on my way. =/\=
Ezra didn’t know why he was needed in sickbay, but he knew there was a reason and he wasn’t about to question it.
Semara: Good luck.
Kali shook her head, finally standing from her seat at the table.
Nicholotti: Right. You too.
Ezra moved towards the exit
Zerva: ::giving Semara and the Admiral a nod:: To all of us.
((Brief Timeskip, Turbolift To Sickbay))
Ezra had made a call to Gamma Shift. They acknowledge and we’re already on their way to sickbay when the ship's CMO gives him a call.
Ohnari: =/\= Ohnari to Lieutenant Zerva. =/\=
Zerva: =/\= Lieutenant Zerva here, Doctor. =/\=
Ohnari: =/\= Please meet me and Ensign Morda in Sickbay, we've got some battening of hatches to do…
Ezra smiled. It would seem the command staff were keeping him on his toes.
Zerva: ::smiling:: =/\= Yes ma’am, already on my way. =/\=
Arriving just outside of sickbay, members of Gamma Shift could be heard by those close enough walking by, talking in hushed whispers
Wynters: ::whispering:: Sickbay again? Why do we always get posted here?
Kelana: ::whispering:: Because Lieutenant Zerva loves us. Or maybe the CMO does?
Bechtel: ::whispering:: Or Othin…
Kelana: Oh no don’t even start! No more butt jabs from her for me.
Wynters: Shh! ::whispering:: You want her to hear you?
Ezra approached the three members of Gamma Shift just as Wynters was talking
Zerva: Hear who say what?
Kelana jumped about five feet up, unaware that Ezra was coming just around the corner.
Kelana: ::heart fluttering:: Sir. Apologies sir I… I didn’t realize you were right there.
Zerva: ::smiling:: Just keeping you on your toes.
((OCC: Leaving out Tags for Ensign Morda in sickbay as he was tagged in engineering at the same time))
The doors into sickbay opened. Ezra and the members of Gamma Shift made their way inside. Ezra spied the CMO.
Zerva: Lieutenant Jg Zerva and Gamma Shift reporting to sickbay ma’am.
Ohnari: Response
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?
Ohnari: Response
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: Response
