[sb118-khitomer] Lieutenant (JG) Ezra Zerva - Clanging of Instruments
BC Cooper
(((Deck 6, Main Sickbay, USS Khitomer))
Ezra and the members of Gamma Shift found sickbay hustling and bustling with activity. The CMO was directing traffic, ensuring everything was as it should be and making ready for whatever might come next.
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!!!
PO2 Kelana and PO3 Bechtel gave each other a look and did their best not to snicker when they heard the CMO’s nickname for the security officer that led their department.
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....
The members of Gamma Shift gave each other a look, and then glanced around. A look that said to anyone watching them, I hope that direct doesn’t include angry Klingon nurses.
Even after all this time living on earth since he was eleven, there were still some earthisms that he was trying to learn. Eggs Ezra, not chickens. Got it.
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: With all the power fluctuations and given how we lost power before inside an nebula, it makes sense.
A loud series of noises came from the direction of Science lab four. It started with the clanging of instruments hitting the floor, and then alarmingly shifted to angry, raised tones of someone getting incredibly creative insulting someone else's mother. Ezra turned his attention in that direction.
Zerva: What’s going on in there? Is everything alright?
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...
He walked hunched over, rubbing his hands together as he mumbled theories to himself.
Zerva: Alright, so angry old man on the porch shaking his fist at the kids who dare to step on his lawn. Or in this case a science experiment in his lab. Got it. ::turning to Kelana and Bechtel:: Time to shut it down. Doctor's orders.
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.
Kelana: So someone who could give Othin a run for her money? This will be interesting.
Ohnari: Response
Zerva: No stuns if we can avoid it. I’d rather him listen to reason.
Wynters: Do you think that will work sir?
Zerva: Let’s hope so for the Doc's sake. ::to Talia:: Maybe next time we can pull the bandaid off a little quicker?
Ohnari: Response
The two security officers entered the lab and were met with all sorts of angry threats and a beaker tossed in their direction.
Zerva: So, besides the angry mold man, how has your day been? Did you get the update on what’s happening with the nebula? Or should I fill you in on all the juicy details?
Ohnari: Response
From inside the lab raised voices could be heard.
Bechtel: Doctor, I am sorry but we…
Smash of glass
Zerva: ::nods:: The nebula is trying to eat us. It’s moving faster than we could get away at warp. Lieutenant Semara is assisting the bridge crew, giving them what information we were able to gain based on the intelligence we were provided. The Admiral was sent to engineering.
Ohnari: Response
Kelana: ::sternly:: Now see here! You better listen or we’ll ::beat:: watchout!!
Klunk from what sounded like a chair hitting the wall
Zerva: So man eating aliens. What’s your thoughts on this? Any updates down here since I left the bridge?
Ohnari: Response
Kelana: ::beat:: Don’t make me put the phaser on stun! I swear I'll do it!
Eldarn: I’ve got deadly mold spores here and I’m not afraid to use them!
