Ensign Box McRoberts - Worst-Case Scenario
Daniel Zheng
((Corridor outside Security Offices, Deck 2, USS Aurora-A))
Starbase 118 was one of McRobert's first glimpses at the raw creative power that the Federation had achieved. It had even surpassed that museum ship in his eyes. But the Aurora was a different beast entirely. Though it was much smaller than the starbase the Rhode Island class seemed to be much more sleek and polished, even for a new ship. Box got the impression that he was witnessing evolution in real time as walked the halls of the ship.
It was no small feat of engineering to create such a compact yet still high-functioning craft.
He made his way down the hallway towards Ross's office and slipped inside. He saw that Ross S'zurak and Willow were already there.
Ross: Welcome! I hope you recovered from yesterday's party?
S’zurak tilted the glass in his hand.
S’zurak: A ssspiced tomato juice really rejuvenatesss the body. I highly recommend it.
McRoberts: ::he nodded:: I'll give it a try.
Ross: Excellent. ::he pulled out a PADD displaying the ship's layout:: I called you in for a little bit of exploration today. Let's try to get a general idea of this ship's layout and any critical locations we should consider for tactical reasons. I'm sure you noticed Deck 2 is pretty crowded. I guess it's no coincidence Security Offices are located here.
S’zurak: Aye, Sssir. For a sssmall ship, I expected to feel cramped. However… it is not so bad.
Indeed the ship did seem fairly spacious.
McRoberts: Well, there's the weapons and shield systems, I guess we could start there. I gave the layout a look and I'd say most systems seem to be adequetly defended, but we should still give them further inspection.
Willow: ?
Ross: I was thinking of a bit of role-playing here. Imagine you're an invader. Which point of entry would you choose and what would be the most straightforward way to hit us where it hurts? 3, 2, 1. ...best Romulan wins.
S’zurak: We are not Romulan… ::looking to Box:: Are we?
McRoberts: Adopting their mindset is what I think Lt. Commander Ross means.
He didn't quite enjoy physical exercises, he preferred to be the one calling the shots, looking at the bigger picture.
oO Oh well, can't disobey an order. Oo
Willow: ?
S’zurak: ::looking at Ross:: Are the shields up? Did they transssport aboard? ::pointing to his PADD with the ship layout on display:: Deck 2 hostsss the main transporter room as well as the brig.
Ross/Willow: ?
McRoberts: Sounds like a plan, Lt. Commander.
S’zurak: Shuttle baysss are on deck four. As are the Junior Officers' Quarters. ::looking to McRoberts:: That’sss us. I’ll protect you.
The Gorn grinned.
McRoberts: I suppose we should get going then.
Ross/Willow: ?
He and S'zurak exited the office and headed towards the lift.
((Short time after, Deck 4 hallways))
They'd made their way down to Deck Four and were walking towards the Shuttle bay.
McRoberts: I assume we'd be equipped with more sophisticated weapons if we were Romulans. I'd say that we head towards the bridge, since it's bottlenecked. Maybe take out the quarters along the way.
Szurak: ?
McRoberts: It is true that taking the bridge would also leave us vulnerable, maybe we split up?
Szurak: ?
McRoberts: Agreed. Disabling the turbolifts and transporters would also be a priority, I imagine.
Szurak: ?
