Ensign Talyra - The Wheels of Fate Spin Ever Onward
V'Nille
(( Bridge, Deck 1, USS Thor ))
It seemed things were going to be kicking up a notch now with Captain Promontory’s personally signed SOS from the Syren Song.
Talyra: Oh, probe telemetry looks good so far, by the way.
She received a nod from the senior scientist, which she took as acknowledgement.
Saa: How far out are we from the Syren Song’s path and how quickly can we get to them?
The change in Saa’s voice brought Talyra’s attention to the now acting captain of the ship. Curiously, the hammer that vexed the Betazoid earlier was now resting comfortably on her shoulder. The earlier conversation about the hammer recognizing someone’s worth replayed in Talyra’s mind. It seemed they had their experimental answer after all. Some random hammer with an apparent knack for showing up in odd places had recognized the lieutenant commander’s worthiness.
oO Duly noted. Oo
Caras: With minor maintenance suspended it will take about an hour to spin down the processes and bring the parts we need for readiness back into alignment. Sensors, power distributions, everything that was put aside for astrometrics.
Tito: Rerouting it as we speak Sir.
Saa: We need to be ready to go in under an hour. ::Turning to Caras:: Set us to Yellow Alert
Caras: Yellow Alert.
The lighting shifted to reflect the status change. Tito turned to Talyra, catching her attention.
Tito: I am realigning sensors, if you please Ensign work on restoring power distribution. Who finishes first will help the other in its task.
Talyra: Yes, sir.
Talyra resisted a wistful sigh as she flipped the console’s status screen from showing telemetry data to power management.
Saa: =/\= Crew of the USS Thor, this is Commander…. And currently acting Captain Sevantha Saa. We have received an SOS from our Captain onboard the Syren’s Song and have learned the USS Janaran is unresponsive. I need every Department Chief to start preparations for their teams to depart in under an hour. =/\=
There was a slight pause.
Saa: =/\= Lieutenant Tito and Commander Aislin will be temporary joint Chief Science Officers until Commander DeVeau is back with us. =/\=
Talyra looked up briefly. “Joint Chief Science Officers” seemed like an odd choice to her, but in the end, it didn’t really concern her so she returned her attention to the task of carefully redistributing the extra power away from astrometrics operations and sensors.
Saa: =/\= Once we’ve set out all Chiefs report to the Ready Room for debrief. =/\=
Saa: Let’s go get our crew.
Caras: I’m having Miss Ekko relieve me until either myself or Ral become available for the bridge, but for now Captain, I’m more of use in engineering.
She heard the near silent woosh from the Bridge’s door opening and looked up only briefly to note the new arrival and Caras’s departure.
oO The man who tempted Fate. Oo
Tito: Ensign, what’s your progress?
Talyra: The power draw from Astrometrics’s calculations and simulations has returned to nominal. Working on the sensors now in parallel with the actions you’re taking, sir.
He nodded and sank back to his own console.
Tito: Good, time is of the essence, but we don’t want to hurry and do incomplete work. Carry on.
Talyra: Agreed, especially with these systems.
