======== “Start of Training” ======== Location: STARFLEET ACADEMY (SFA) Stardate: 2.80831.2228 Scene: Advanced Command Training Holodeck Cadet Evelyn Jane Rosslyn entered the main holodeck used for Advanced Command Training on EARTH, looking around at the plain-looking interior of the room as she walked. At the current moment, there was nothing being simulated in the holodeck and for that reason the room’s photonic generation grid was readily visible. As her gaze went from the ceiling to the walls, she eventually noticed the two figures standing in the middle of the room awaiting her final approach. Pushing all final nervous thoughts into the back of her mind with the ready professionalism of someone on the fast track to a department head position in the fleet, Rosslyn advanced the few strides separating her from the instructors. As she came within a few metres of both of them, she stood at attention with her eyes and body facing straight forward. “Cadet Rosslyn reporting as ordered sirs,” she said. “Ah yes, Cadet Rosslyn,” Lieutenant Halois said, looking at the Cadet with a smile. “Welcome to your final test for the Advanced Command Training program. I am Lieutenant Halois and I will be overseeing the finalizing of any marks that are taken during this class as well as conducting you through all of the odd-numbered situations.” “And I am Lieutenant Sevlock,” chimed in the other figure as he looked at the Cadet with a neutral expression on his face. “I will be conducting all of the odd-numbered simulations, including the one that you start with. Since your academy major was in medicine, we will tailor the situation accordingly. Do you understand?” “Yes sir,” came the reply from the Cadet. “Excellent,” Sevlock said with a nod of his head. “Computer, load program Halois-Sevlock 1 and begin paused.” After a beep of acknowledgement, the familiar holodeck grid was replaced by a realistic representation of what appeared to be a sickbay. There were multiple biobeds in the room as well as all of the medical diagnostic and treatment equipment that Rosslyn had become used to dealing with over her previous years at Starfleet Academy. “This,” Sevlock announced as he walked around the room. “Is a holographic representation of the USS COMFORT, a real medical support vessel attached to the First Fleet. It is often seen in the vicinity of EARTH and for that reason is a very popular recreation for students interested in familiarizing themselves with the insides of a sickbay on a vessel of its class.” “This particular sickbay configuration,” Sevlock continued, coming to a stop in front of the biobed closest to the centre of the room as he spoke. “Is also one that is popular on many hospitals here on EARTH and in other Federation installations around the galaxy. For that reason, you may be familiar with it.” “In any case,” the Vulcan/Human hybrid concluded. “Your training will be taking place on this holographic USS COMFORT. Your primary tasks will be performed in sickbay, although should you feel the need to leave the sickbay you will find that the holo-representation extends to the rest of the ship as well. However, be advised that Lieutenant Halois and I will be grading you on efficiency as well as results, so do not leave the sickbay unless you feel it is absolutely necessary to do so.” Sevlock briefly consulted a PADD to make sure that he’d said everything he wanted to say, before looking back at the Cadet. “Do you understand these instructions so far Cadet?” he asked. “Yes sir,” repeated Rosslyn. “Very well,” Sevlock answered. “In the first level of your final training test, you will be dealing with a single patient. This patient will be coming to you with plasma burns from an explosion that happened in engineering just a few moments ago. However, the patient has a unique physiology that makes him unresponsive to normal sedatives. You need to sedate him before you can treat his wounds, but in order to do so you will need to draw on your experience as well as the training you received in your major at the academy to find an effective alternative to the normal sedatives used in a sickbay.” “Understood sir,” Rosslyn said. “Computer,” Sevlock said. “Resume program.” A few minutes after his instructions, the doors to the sickbay opened and three figures entered, two of which were propping up a third man that appeared to be drifting in and out of consciousness. “Put him on the bed,” the Cadet ordered, grabbing a medical tricorder from a nearby tray as she made her way to the central biobed by which Sevlock was standing. A few moments later, the two officers had their prone companion on the bed as well. ============ NRPG: And so begins the next training session! Welcome Brenna, to the FRPG and to your Advanced Command Training class. As Ran mentioned before, my name is Rahul Chandra and I’ll be your other instructor for this particular training class. I’ll be in charge of administering all of the odd-level training scenarios while Ran will take care of all the even-level ones. Of course the implication there is that there are additional levels to this training, which is true. Once you’ve posted a solution to the current problem you have, the parameters of the training exercise will be reset and Ran will send out another post with a harder and more involved medical problem for you to solve. However, I’m getting ahead of myself a bit here. Your job is to solve this problem through writing a post that continues from this. Once you’ve done that I’ll post corrections for the post. Corrections that I post will cover mostly formatting issues with perhaps a note or two on the content of the actual post and should be out within a few days of you sending in your post. As for the actual format itself, you can use the above post in conjunction with the information contained in Ran’s earlier “Book 2” e-mail to come up with perfect formatting for your post. The only place where my post deviates from the formatting guide would be in the title bar, as there is no “continued from” line. This is because it’s the first post and therefore it’s the only post for which that is true. All other posts from here on in should have that line in them. Aside from that, I think that the instructions given in the actual post are pretty self-explanatory. However, should you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to e-mail them to Ran or I and we will attempt to provide you the answers that you seek. So, once again welcome to the FRPG and have fun writing your reply! I very much look forward to reading it :) ========== Rahul Chandra <vrccan_at_gmail.com> Lieutenant Sevlock Junior Instructor – Advanced Command Training Starfleet Academy, EARTH No virus found in this outgoing message.
