Stardate: 2368.04.10
Main Engineering - Cmdr. Kennedy's Office 1025
Cmdr. Kennedy
Ensign Warwick
She did not wait for him, but instead walked off to her office. He swallows as she walks off, licks his lips, and smiles. He traipses after Cmmdr. Kennedy ignoring the rest of the troupe except to cast a concerned glance toward Bob N'doog.
The door is open when he arrives, but quickly shuts closed behind him. He’ll notice at once that she keeps things very orderly. On sleek surface of the desk she has a black coffee mug, the image of a red guitar wrapped around it, her PADD, a computer screen and a computerized picture frame, the current motion picture being a teenage girl with long black hair laughing and silently singing next to a taller older man outside of a large gate with ‘Graceland’ written over the top of it.
Kennedy has not moved to take the high backed chair behind the desk but instead is propped on the edge of the desk. She nods toward one of the two smaller chairs that sit in front of her desk.
As he enters the office he takes everything in with a glance and sits slightly straight backed in the proffered chair with his hands held together in his lap waiting for the tongue lashing he is sure he is about to recieve. Well I made my call and now have to take the consequences. He thought probably not for the last time aboard the Discovery.
"Well... I asked for the nuts and bolts and you give us a fireworks display..." Kennedy says dryly and looks at him as if waiting for his explaination.
"All the information requested was given. I find it more beneficial and easier to explain the nuts and bolts if I can demonstrate." Warwick explained "Sir."
She watched him carefully. Looking for any signs of squirming under her gaze, and found none, if his little feet were trying to tap dance out of this he was hiding it well. "You know it isn't really how things are done around here. We have protocol and we follow it. I did explain to you the whole bit about not wanting to babysit you didn't I?"
"Yes sir. Was my presentation not done correctly?" Warwick asked. "If you'd please excuse my inexperience but did I violate protocol?"
"hmmm...." She responds as she watches him but does not answer. "The Chief says you also fixed the cocoa issue already?"
"Yes sir." John responded. "I discovered that the replicator produced cocoa when asked and so figured it must be a problem with the recipe. I programmed a new recipe and now the cocoa gives an annoying message that the recipe has been changed and makes tastier cocoa." Before Cmdr. Kennedy could ream him about he message he added, "I will of course remove the message after a week or so to make sure any one drinking cocoa is aware of the change."
Finally a smile creeps across her face. "I see... Well... it wasn't how I would have gone about doing things, Ensign." She pauses here then smiles a bit more. "And perhaps I would have doubled checked to make sure my actions were appropriate... but... you have... initiative, and a fresh prospective on things. You did a good job. Been under my command for less than half a shift and honestly I'm already impressed. Keep up such work and you'll be seeing another pip on your uniform before too long I think..." She gives him a full smile then before reaching over to grab her coffee mug.
"Thank you sir." John smiled inwardly pleased at praise. I'll remember to turn in the paperwork this time.
"Good... now then. We both have work to do. Go ahead and spend the rest of the shift getting familiar with engineering. Tomorrow we'll get you on a more permament assignment." She sipped her coffee and then stood up. "You're dismissed Ensign." She offered a smile, finished up her coffee in a gulp and waited for him to leave.
Ensign Warwick rose smiled and gave a slight bow as he exited the office. Finally I get to look at the warp drives. He thinks triumphantly as he half skips out the room.
Kennedy rolls her eyes slightly at the skip but says nothing. Instead she picks up her PADD slips it into her belt and heads back to the torpedo bays.

Ion and I have been working on a top secret post...

From behind the closed door of Callie's office the sound of glass breaking, screams and pleading for mercy can be heard. The engineering staff glance at each other, each wondering if they dare to interrupt, or perhaps get Mac and his phaser.

Well the rumor is true. We are working on our first official website newsletter.
At this point we are still in the 'brainstorming' 'first draft' stage...
However, I am intrested in putting birthday's in it. If you would like your own birthday to be included (the year is optional  ) leave it here or send it to me in a PM and I'll make sure to get it in.
Also if you know any cool/fun birthday's let me know. I've already gathered up some Trek ones... Cpt. Kirk etc. If you happen to know say Han Solo's... or the PS3's birthdays... I'd love to include that as well.
Thanks a bunch guys!

Cmdr. Kennedy USS Discovery - Holodeck 3
Kennedy stepped into the holodeck and looked up at the projections that Warwick had programmed in. Her eyes take a moment to adjust to the light and run a quick mental roll call of the figures in the room. She walked over to where Mac and Bob were standing.
“Quite a shock about Kelsey isn’t it? Gotta love Starfleet and their last minute orders huh?” She shakes her head at Mac.
((OOC: Responses as necessary then on to Bob))
“Bobdude… get the mem mods in Sheila?” She asks with a smile.
((OOC: Assuming positive response))
“Good good… catching the Z train after this right?”
((OOC: ditto last OOC))
“Good because if you weren’t I’d have to order you to.” She smiles again then watches as the last required officer walks in.
She then turns her eyes to Warwick and glances at him.
‘This better be good…’ she mouths over to him. Then offers everyone a smile. “Everyone please welcome our newest member of Engineering. Ensign Warwick. Warwick… the floor is yours…”
“Hello and welcome to the Mark VI Torpedo briefing…” Warwick began. Kennedy stood back and listened as he went on to explain the workings of the torpedoes, highlighting his speech with the graphic displays of explosions. Her arms crossed over her chest, her lips drawn into a stoic expression and her hazel eyes never leaving Warwick as he gives the briefing. Finally it drew to an end. “…These warheads are fantastic weapons at long range, the longer the better.”
She stayed silent through any questions or comments that came up, her cool eyes watching, but staying on Warwick more than anyone else. After all everything has been explained to the satisfaction of the crowd she walks over to Warwick and puts her hand on his shoulder for a moment before leaning in and speaking softly to him.
“Report to my office… now.” Her voice leaves no room for argument, and she walks off, not waiting for him to follow.

Where are replicators located...
Say if Callie wanted a cup of coffee where would she need to go to get one?
And I know... this is probably located out on one of those fantabulous links that have been provided for us but I'm feeling lazy and instead of searching for the information I figured I'd just rely on one of you trekkies to have the answer off the top of your head.

Subject: Cocoa
I was rereading some of our posts and noticed the bit on Warwick's father duping him into trying unsweetened cocoa powder and couldn't help but laugh.
My mother did that to me when I was little... and I just did it to my step daughter not that long ago. Her face was so cute... stuck out her tongue and made this terrible noise.
I'm working hard for that 'Evil Step-Mother' award
