======== “Marking Time” Con’t from Maxine/Bethany’s “Removing the Prisoners” ======== Location: USS COUNTERSTRIKE Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 0425.2316 Scene: Bridge -> Lower Hold -> Bridge <Note: This takes place roughly during the first part of the excellent JP written by Maxine and Bethany> “What now?” Justin Logue asked impatiently from the operations console. “Are we just going to sit here and maintain the sensor net while the STAR RIDER is in dock?” “What would you suggest Mr. Logue?” Daniel asked the man curiously, looking up from the PADD he had just been reading. “We should go find the wreckage that the STAR RIDER left in its wake,” Justin answered. “It might hold some clues as to what’s going on in this area. Also, why are we just sitting down here on our asses and doing nothing to find our missing crewmembers? They’re too important for us to just give up on without a fight!” “I know how important our two missing crew are Mr. Logue,” Daniel stated quietly. His voice was quiet, but Dirak, who’d known him the longest, suspected that the man had some conflicting emotions battling each other just under the surface of his calm demeanor. “I know how important they are,” Daniel repeated, this time with more emotion. “In case you’ve forgotten, one of them is my wife.” The uncomfortable silence in the room would have been immediately obvious to a casual observer and for a few beats nobody spoke. Then, Daniel continued. “Branching off by ourselves is going to accomplish nothing more than ruining our current search plan at best and quite possibly get us lost in the folds of this nebula at worst. Our orders are to hold the sensor grid intact and until we receive further orders from the PATRIOT that is what we are going to do. Is that understood?” “Yes sir,” Logue replied, angling his head down to his console. He knew that Clarkson would allow no more discussion on the subject and as such chose to remain silent. From the helm, Dirak held a small smile as he figured that the chances that he would have to relieve Daniel were getting slimmer by the second as the marine exec was starting to control his emotions better with each passing moment. “I’m going to check on the others,” Daniel announced, getting up from the command chair. “You’re in command until I get back Dirak.” “Aye sir,” the experienced helm officer replied as Daniel made his way down the ladder to the lower deck. He spent a few minutes down in the hold, looking around and chatting with the marines that were waiting to potentially go into action. Most of the marines were emotionless as they thought about their mission but some were a little bit nervous and Daniel talked to these ones for a bit longer, trying to help them alleviate the nervous energy they had inside. Eventually, he made his way back up to the main bridge and walked back over to the area in front of his command chair. “Any word from the ship yet?” he asked. “None sir,” Logue replied. Daniel inwardly sighed, taking his seat once more. “Hold our position and keep assisting the fighters in their recon sweeps,” he ordered. ======== NRPG: Just marking time until the next plot twist gets revealed, plus I needed to finish this off fast as I’m still in between exams. Maxine/Bethany -> Great first joint effort you two! ======== ========== V. Rahul Chandra <vrccan_at_gmail.com> Playing...
