Fleet Opening Mission: To Our Future

[Emma Wilkinson]

STARBASE THRINACIA
Command Deck
2100 hours

Commodore Wilkinson had a few bumps and scratches on her from being thrown around the command deck as the fight with the Cardassians had been waged, and although she had been offered medical attention she had known that many people needed it more than she had, so had waved them off. Her head hurt slightly from connecting with a panel at one point, but apart from that she was fine.

Emma was standing over to one side of the Command Deck, keeping out of people’s way as they scurried around fixing various conduits and doing what she could to lend a hand, when someone stepped up behind her and spoke.  "Commodore Wilkinson, I am Lieutenant Commander Callum Jackson, Commanding Officer of the USS Majesty, Admiral Malloway has told me to report to you on what happened to the ship. Is now a good time or would you like me to come back later?" The Lieutenant asked.

“No, now is fine.” Emma answered putting aside the PADD she had been looking over to give the officer her full attention. She also grabbed a blank PADD in order to take stock of whatever she would be told. She could see various ships coming in to dock for repairs through the windows, and could see that some were obviously better off than others. The fight may have been brief, but it would take a bit of time to get all their ships back up and running at 100%. “So what is the status of the Majesty Lieutenant?” She asked getting things started with a small smile.

Callum thought for a minute and then replied "Most of the Majesty's primary systems are online, but the warp core took some damage and isn't operating at full capacity. It had to be taken offline for cadet Halsey to fit a patch on the coolant pipe. Our forward phaser array has been destroyed along with one of our forward torpedo bays, the tractor beam has also been destroyed, life support was failing on the bridge and the main viewer was destroyed which left a gaping hole in the hull. That’s how i broke my left arm, because i lost grip on my chair. It was lucky that the emergency force field activated when it did, the hull has also been extremely damaged and we have hull breaches on decks 1 to 4 and 36 to 40 if I remember correctly"

Callum paused to think and then after a few seconds he continued "Our torpedo complement is down to about 10ish, and the impulse engines were damaged on our return course to the Starbase. I believe only the centre impulse drive  is working." he paused for a quick breath and carried on "Although most of this damage was caused when a Cardassian ship was heading straight for the Starbase. I put the ship right in between it and the Starbase whilst our phases recharged for us to fire back."

Callum stopped to think again and as he did he glanced over to see his crew and the cadets helping out with the repairs to the Starbase's Command deck he then looked back at the commodore and said "I'm sorry, but it is hard to remember the exact status of the ship, I’m just trying to remember everything that was reported as damaged throughout the battle.

Emma stood and listened to the report before pausing for a moment and then gathered herself before replying. “I’m sorry Lieutenant … but this simply is not good enough. If you had taken this sort of a report to the Admiral, god alone knows what he would have done to you. As Commanding officer you should be well aware of the status of your ship no matter what the situation or circumstances.” She paused looking rather cross and disappointed. She had thought she would be working with the best, and brightest, but to be honest this wasn’t the start she had hoped for.

Handing the clear PADD she held to the officer in front of her she continued her ass chewing. “There is no excuse for a Commanding officer to not know every detail about his ship. These are for you to record data … so use it … Record information as it comes in and then you always have an up-to-date account.” She paused to draw breath before concluding. “Now … I suggest you go back to your ship … find out what her ACTUAL status is … and THEN report back to me when you have the required information, and not before.” She said pointing to the blank PADD she had handed over. “I also advise that you never debrief another superior officer like this again, as they may not be as lenient as I am.” She said before finishing with “Dismissed.” Hoping that her words would rattle the officer just enough to get him to think twice before he made the same mistake again, especially as knowing the Admiral as she thought she did, he would have ripped the lieutenant a new one if he had been the one to get debriefed in the same manner.

Callum took the PADD from the Commodore, he was slightly annoyed but could see where she was coming from although he was wondering how he was supposed to have remembered everything due to the fact he had almost died twice and it was his first time in Command but when she said “Dismissed” he looked at her nodded and said “Aye Ma’am I will be back soon with a full damage report”

Callum turned and headed for the Turbo lift stepped in and said “Deck 56” the doors closed and the lift began to head to its destination.

The turbo lift stopped and the doors opened Callum stepped out and headed straight for airlock number three once he got to the Majesty’s airlock he said “Computer open airlock, voice authorisation Jackson, C. Lieutenant Commander, Commanding Officer, USS Majesty. The airlock opened and Callum stepped aboard and headed straight for a turbo lift he stepped in and said “Engineering” once again the doors closed and the lift began moving to its destination.

Callum barely let the doors open fully before he jumped out he quickly walked up to the pool table he tapped a few buttons on the control panel and then said “Computer, Compile a full damage report” the computer just replied with *Working* Callum began to walk up to the warp core to inspect it he saw the patch straight away on the port coolant pipe he walked up to it when the computer said *now displaying system damage report* Callum quickly walked back up to the pool table and began to read through the damage report

Callum then transferred it to the PADD and then headed back into the turbo lift once in he said “Deck 25 Docking ports” the doors closed and the lift began moving towards deck 25.

The turbo lift stopped and the doors opened Callum quickly got out and broke into a run he ran off the ship and back onto the Starbase he didn’t stop until he got to the turbo lift to get back onto the Command Deck once there he got in and said “Command Deck” and again the doors closed and the lift began its short journey to the Command Deck.

The lift stopped and the doors opened Callum jumped out and headed straight for the Commodore he approached her and handed the PADD over to her as he said “Commodore I have downloaded the damage report onto here for you to review”

Emma had just finished putting back a panel when Callum handed her the PADD on which his damage report was on. She smiled as she glanced at the document. She smiled, “I hope you’ve read it, and not just downloaded it Commander.” She said with a knowing raise of an eyebrow. There were often those who did, and still didn’t know what shape their ship was in. “For now, I recommend contacting your Xo and finding out how the crew are. Admiral Malloway is currently occupied, however after checking in with your Xo, then report into the Admiral at 22.15hrs.” She finished with a nod of the head and a small shake of the Padd in her hand. “Dismissed, and Thank you.” She said giving the Lt.Cmd a chance to say anything else before turning and continuing to do what she had been doing before the officer had re-appeared.

Emma herself had to find the Admiral, so walked over to the computer. “Computer, locate Admiral Malloway.” She requested, waiting for the response of, ‘Admiral Malloway is in Conference room Theta, Deck 22.’ With that, she turned on her heals and headed towards the turbo lift and made her way to the stated location, noting the time was already 21.41.
