Crew Quarters
0745 Hours
Ethan had made it back from the Promenade without a problem. HE resolved to spend some quiet time in his quarters, perhaps going back over the last mission reports from the helm underlings.
The first thing he did was grab himself a coffee from the replicator and walk slowly to his desk, the mug hot and steaming, filled just short of overflowing. Raising the mug to his lips, giving a light blow to clear a bit of the heat, he took a sip of the liquid. He could feel the hotness making its way to his stomach. âAhhh,â was all that he had said thus far.
Setting the mug down on his desk, he moved to the chair, pulled it out and sat down. For a while, he just sat there staring at the screen, seeming to be having a staring contest with the Federation symbol that stared back at him. After having downed half the coffee, he tapped the console, and brought up the helm reports from the last mission.
As he scanned the reports, he sometimes found his mind fading from the task. Gathering his wits about him, he regained his focus, and began the report again from the top. So far as he could tell from the others, they had the same experience with the controls as he had. âStatus quo,â were what the reports from the crew said.
âThat was easy,â Ethan said to himself, tapping the console again, shutting the reports. The truth was, even if there was something there, he wouldnât find it, not being able to keep his mind on the details. Sitting back in his chair, he reached for his mug.
Before his hand closed around it, his comm badge chirped. Following the chirp was the Captainâs voice.
=/\="Captain McGriff to Commander Trane. Report to my Ready Room. McGriff out."=/\=
=/\=On my way, Captain.=/\=
With that he left his coffee where it was, and exited his room. Riding the lift to the bridge, Ethan did the usual tugging on his tunic as he arrived at the door to the Ready Room. Smoothing the front with his hands, he reached up and rang the door chime.
