Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, Lt. John Britt Reid’s Quarters– 0350
Ensign Antoinette La Rue had reported and John relinquished the Rim to her. He needed to get a bit of rest before the reports came in. The people under his command had proven to more than adequate but that didn’t mean there could be improvement. The ship relied on them to hold the breach so they could do their jobs. So much depended on the unseen efficiency of security forces on board. John would review the reports before 0800 staff meeting. Their input might give him insight on ways to keep the Discovery stable when chaos wants to reign.
John had checked with sick bay to be sure Ensign Parker was care for, the young man has suffered an concussion and scalp wound but other than that he’d recover quickly.
Returning to his stateroom the Lieutenant straitened to mess caused by shacking of the ship. The crystal heirloom that held a single antique silver bullet had slid to the edge of the bureau but had not fallen. John picked it up to set it safely away. As he turned it there on the bottom was his family’s creed.
I believe...
• that to have a friend, a man must be one.
• that all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.
• that God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.
• in being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.
• that a man should make the most of what equipment he has.
• that 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always.
• that men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.
• that sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.
• that all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.
• in my Creator, my country, my fellow man.
It wasn’t so far from his allegiance to Star Fleet, but it was deeper and older and personal.
John finished and went to rest while he waited for the reports to come in.

Subject: Welcome Big I
Welcome to the Inn. Lurky is very much allowed so don't worry about getting games. I found reading and playing the word games was a great way to meet folks and learn about the Inn. Find a game type you might like and read the the storys in those games. Then watch for recruitments.
Oh and here is big fluffy towel, you might need it later when one of our staffers sends his greeting.
Hope you find fun here.

Ash paid close attention to Wolf’s instructions; he wanted Wolf to have confidence in him again. As soon as Wolf was assured things seemed set the kid headed out to the cargo bay to assist Wyatt.
The kid made his way to the catwalk. He spotted Wyatt and noticed he was unarmed. Hot footing it to Wyatt’s side the throng below caught his attention, “Gorram, that’s not forth”, scanning the crowd he counted by fives ,when he reached sixty he quit.
Trish caught his attention and motioned to pair of men standing guard over a man in a white suit. The bulge of a gun showed under their black jackets, they weren’t trying to hide it.
Asher knew that many rich folk kept their own “Public Relations” people at hand but he’d be sure to keep an eye.

Welcome to the Inn. I'm Odyson ,better known as Ody.
Here's your soft fluffy towel, keep it handy, you'll know when you'll need it.
I lurked a long time before I join any regular games too.
I found the word games and other little games a good way to meet folks and break the ice.
The DragonChat chatroom is a nice place to meet folks too. I'm your honorary bartender in the DragonChat Lounge, if I'm not there just order up from my silent helper Igor.
Your first visit gets you a free frosty tankard of "Good Old Froth-n-Slosh", the stale pale ale with the foam on the bottom.
Hope you enjoy your time here.

Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, main bridge – 0321
John stood waiting for Lt. MacTavish’s response but the his request was answered from LT. Graham.
"Captain, direct hit.” …………..“We've lost..."
“Sair,”
"Belay that, Lieutenant," the Captain said, rising from his seat.
The Security Office turned his attention to the Captain as he took in the conversation in the room.
"Cancel red alert. Computer, cancel simulation."
“Sim’lation?!” …….“Fer th’ bloody luv o’…” … “Chroist!”
=/\\=Affirmative. Simulation cancelled.=/\\=
The warnings ceased, the lights came back up to normal, and all instrument panels returned to nominal readouts. The viewscreen flashed for a moment, then reset to a slightly different display of nothing but empty space.
"Now hear this………This is Captain Blair. Red alert has been cancelled. The preceding events were a drill. You may now return to your scheduled duties. That is all."
Taking in the sense of the events the Chief of Security felt a wave of relief wash over his even as the buzz of adrenalin still coursed through him.
"Thank you all for your participation. Senior staff, I would like to discuss my thoughts with you in the Observation Lounge at 0800. Until then, try to get some sleep."
“Aye, sair,……….give my regards to Lieutenant N'doog. The simulation he created was very good - perhaps a bit too good. I had not expected the situation to become that grim so quickly. Regardless, I very much appreciate his efforts on this.”
"Thank you, Commander,………."Blair out."
John was standing close enough to hear the hush comments of the Senior Officer.
“Yer a fargin’ haggis, Noah Blair,…………………gettin’ me pressure up an’ sech. But stone me ef tha’ weren’t a fookin’ brilliant sim’lation… sair…………………..Chantelle’ll be thrilled ta hear she gets ta kell me herself, aye?”
Without looking back to John Mac stepped into lift, “Deck 8. Tactical.”
The bridge cleared of the senior officers and returned the watch to their juniors. It was then that John realized his man was missing. He was about to question Lt. Ames when a short stocky balding young man stumbled out of the head.
Blood stained the collar of his uniform where a gash above his right temple had left a crimson track down the side of his face. The Ensign braced himself as he made his way to the duty station. In a shaky voice he addressed Lt. Reid, “ Sir…I’m sorry I was off station… I was in the …head….. the first shock ..uh…threw me ..well … I’ll clean the blood on floor….. is everything secure Sir?” Ensign Charlie Parker rocked a little as he tried to look calm.
John looked at the junior officer, ”Chuck, your injured, report to sickbay, you stand relieved, now get yourself patched up. We’ll debrief later.” The Ensign Parker nodded and left the bridge.
Flipping on the comm. John called down, “Chief, have the Team Leaders file response reports to me by 600 hours, I want their analysis of theirs teams. “ Switching “Ensign LaRue to the Bridge.”
John nodded to Ops Officer as he manned the Tactical Rim.

Subject: Who's That?
For now I had sent certain Officers to different decks but as I've checked background info on Tier and LaRue. I should have deployed them differently based on their posted skill sets.
So close your eyes and pretend you're reading it for the first time.
Tier should command the Special Ops teams and LaRue is over Master-at-Arms teams.
Tier may end up being my SEC.

Subject: Guess Who Coming For Dinner......
Asher heard Wyatt’s comments over the comm about folks comin on board so he stopped by his quarters to strap on his Peace Keepers. Strangers onboard would mean crowd control and protection for his crew. With his favorite girls snug against his legs the kid headed down to assist Wolf.
As he entered the engine room Wolf looked up, “What the *guay Is going on Ash!”
“Best I can tell there’s a boat in trouble and we’re their closest help. Ain’t got enough life boats so we’re goin in to grab a few folks. Could get a bit crowded here. “
Wolf was already figuring what may need adjusted as Willow’s voice filled the room.
"Mr. Wolf, dear we're heading in to take on 40 casualties, though it's a big ship and we may end up with more. We'll be needing more air than we're currently producing."
Pausing only long enough to send a quick reply “On it miss Willow”. Wolf with Ash’s help continued prepping the ship for its forthcoming new cargo.
When Wolf click off the comm Ash piped up, “Whatever you need me ta do just point.”
Wolf pointed, “Ash help me with this” as he moved to adjust the Carbon Dioxide Scrubbers, the Heat Exchanger/Cooling system and finally the oxygen level within the Rocinante.
The kid followed the mechanic’s directions.
“ Say, would it might help if we could use the shuttles systems too? You know like, open the doors and let them make air too. They might even be able to be use as life boats to get the number of folk down to where the Roc ain’t puffen so hard. Maybe Ma and the new guy could bird dog us to a safe place? Ya think we should ask Capt’n?”
Asher kept working as he let Wolf ponder the idea. He wanted to get as much as possible ready before they took on their company. His job as “Public Relation” would be needed to support Capt’n Wyatt so all them folk know just who’s boat this is and who is in charge, so he have to leave Wolf for bit; even if it were just for show.

I really need to get new bifocals, my editing stinks.
Just fill in the blanks and do your own spellcheck.
We are having Trick or Treat on our street to today. We are in a small housing area outside of the city so we do it independent of them. 1:30 -4:00. I'm sitting in the cold garage watching the rain. Had our first group at 1:20.
So perfect weather 40 degrees F, rain and wind.
At least I'll try to catch up on post.
BTW, any Inn Mates that drop by will get a Frosty Mug of "Good Old Froth-n-Sloch".

Subject: Idea on Life support .........
I sent this as a reply on a PM but I thought I would cast it out to all.
I just read Tann's post and should have Ash reply. I will have the kid pose the question to Wolf. We can figure if it's a good idea here in Q&A, then flash it out.
Ok, so here's a thought. Can the shuttles be used to have their Life Support systems turned on to make and clean more air? Systems on and doors open to the passage way might make a secondary air flow system. Sort an Apolo 13 kind of thing. Another idea is to move folks to the shuttles to reduce the number on board. Self contained lifeboat sort of things. They could follow on the four hour trip to the moon if that wasn't on hard burn.
Are the Life pods from the Liner able to follow the Roc to the moon. We could shepard them to safety, sort of? Talk about a Piped Pipper thing. This could be great for business saving the backside of so many Rich folk.

Subject: I getting there.........
Being to new kid I need to know the deck reference by Module until I'm more intuned to the game. I see a reptet of Decks 8 through 16 between Suacer Module and Star Drive Section, each have different information. There is even a Life Support of Deck 13 of the Saucer, which I would suspect is for use during seperation.
I'm not being a "Rules Lawyer" I'm just trying to live up to the quality of everyone else's work by learning as fast as I can.
I'd have Tier to 11 instead of LaRue if I'd been a little more aware. He's both Security and darn fine Engineer too.

Sending Tier to 24 was because of Engineering background, he can also help keep Life support going and be close if the need him to help on the engine. If Roger wanting to run with him I'm good with it.

Yes, keep it, I'll just pay closer attention. It my error of rushing my post to catch up.
It's rainy out, so I may have more time inside to pull more of this together. There was plenty of info, I just did't organize it for my best use.
It won't take much now to know where to go to find the right stuff.
Bodies floating in space, did anyone notice if they are our folk?
We should have something from Engineering on an ACTUAL hull breach so I don't send Securtiy in to have them sucked off the ship.
