Subject: Ambush?
Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery - Deck 2; Lt Reid’s quarters – 0313
Boom
The sudden violent roll of the ship woke John from a sound sleep and nearly pitched from his bunk. The blurr of sleep evaporated as the lieutenant used the motion to drive himself on out of bed. He glanced at his clock as he pull on his duty uniform, 0313. This could not be good.
Slipping into his boots a second pitching nearly tossed him to the floor.
Boom
As John gain his balance and head to the door as Ensine Soileau’s voice came over the comm..
=/\\= Security, we taken unknown impact, damage to decks 20 through 24, possible boarding breach. =/\\=
John quickly assessed the decks the Ensine called out.
Deck 20: Living Quarters
Deck 21: Power Distribution
Deck 22: Engineering Support Labs
Deck 23: Main Impulse Engines
Deck 24: Life Support
John stepped to his comm console and responded to the bridge report, “Affirmative bridge”.
Switching the comm to the Duty Watch,
=/\\= Watch Commander deploy teams to decks 21 and 22. Special support on 23 and 24; potential boarding breach. Get a team to 20 for evac control of personnel. Button down the Impulse and Life support so Engineering can keep us moving and breathing.
Battle Stations for the rest; I need full status report by the time I reach the bridge.
Ensign Raditz take deck 21 and deck 22, Ensign Kato deck 23 and deck 24. Ensine LaRue to Deck 20. Assess and report. =/\\=
Switching off the comm. John stepped to the door, as he passed the stand by the door he reached out and rubbed the crystal ball that housed the silver cylinder shaped heirloom. He heading into passage where crewmen were scrambling to stations. Commandeering a turbo lift he head to the bridge.
Stardate: 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, main bridge – 0319
The turbo lift shook as a third inpack resounded.
BOOM
As the doors wooshed open he heard Mac’s voice in the room and on his comm,” MacTavish ta’ Lt Reid. We’ll be needin’ boardin’ suppression teams on deck ‘leven, and escorts fer any civilians, aye?”
John acknowledged the Captain as he entered the bridge “Sir” and strode to his station. As he crossed the bridge he thought to himself, Don’t get your hagus in an uproar, Mac.. Addressing Lt. MacTavish, “Sir, Teams deployed on 23,24,21 and 22, evac team on 20. Full report coming.”

So as to not hold everyone more here are the bones of my post.
Started the post but here are the bones:
1. John bounced out bed by first boom.

3. Sent out orders to deploy teams on decks 21 ,22, 23, 24.
Main attention on 23 which is main Inpulse Engines and 24 is Life Support. Critical to support Engineering to keep flying and keep breathing.
4. Makes way to bridge to coorinate with Mac and others.
The will flesh it but ya'll casn build around that.

Love them fuffy towels.
Thought I'd pop in here and add the Ody welcome.
Pop into the DragonChat where I act as current resident bar tender. We offer our very own "Good Old Froth-n-Slosh", the stale pale ale with the foam on the bottom.
Just grab a mug off the mantel and draw a cold frosty one.
My assistant Igor is usually lurking around if I'm not there.
He never says anything, must have something to with having his tongue cut out by his last boss, that nasty bar tender over at the Orc Bar & Grill.
Anyway the Posting Games are great place to get to know folks and of course the DragonChat is our favorite lounge.
So lurk or play, welcome to the Inn!

Subject: Starting late......
I'm running on ice a little trying the build my guy. I've sent some basic stuff and ideas to the boss but still having a bit of the slows getting the bio in place. Reading old stuff, checking the reference material and hoping to pull it together soon.
He's not from a poor or troubled family. But folks really don't know what had been happening behind the scenes. When society was collasping there were those that continued to stand for "right". The people needed help when the criminals and power hungry folk tried to take over. So in small pockets there were those that just made a difference. The members of the Reid family have stepped up and then passed the tourch to those that wished to carry on. Sometimes there were many, sometimes there were very few; but there has always been at least one. They work inside the system as much as possible.
Let's just say that the Silver Bullet heirloom encased in crystal on John's dresser still is a reminder of the high cost of taking a life.

Subject: A new run....
The cargo was stored and the Roc left on it’s run. Ash could tell by the size of the load and the stores that this would be a longer run than they’d been pull’n . Wyatt hadn’t gone into details so Ash figured it was the usual “need to know”, after all that ain’t his end of the business.
As with all flights Ash fell into his routine doing what ever was needed. Willow kept up her classes and Ash showed up early to take part in the meditation part. He saw this as a way to make himself more alert so the he didn’t get his brain pan rung by a swift kick from the Doc.
A passenger had stayed on board when they left Eisley Moss Spaceport and he was makin sure the goods got delivered to a home kids. He was Cheung Fu Sheng and some kind of monk or religious person. He had started to join them in their morning class and it was real clear he knew a lot more about those moves on Willow’s video than either of them would ever be able to do. He’d started show’n Willow how to hold her arms and legs when she moved; didn’t seem too much but dang she’d really started to pack a wollup and a heck of lot more accurate. Then Fu Sheng started letting Ash in on the moves too, it all seemed so simple the way he’d say it, but you had to think to get it right. Fu said it would become natural with time and that it would be there before Ash looked for it. The kid wasn’t so sure, but he was able to block Willows kicks more often.
Three days into the flight…….
Asher was bit concerned when they were hailed and boarded by Alliance Feds. He made his usual preparation for trouble, but they were searching for a couple of fella’s and didn’t check the cargo. The kid figured that clued the run as the more legal kind and didn’t give the goods any more thought.
Four days later…….
Practicing his draw and fire weren’t practical on board but Ash had found some games on the Cortex that tested his concentration and reflexes. Most of the crew just thought he was wast’n time on the shoot’um ups but the kid could tell that the sessions with Willow and Fu Sheng helped him be more aware and react quicker, with better accuracy. He was moving through an advanced level with speed that had even drew Fu’s attention. Just as he was about to level again the Cortex shutdown. With a burst of frustration the kid let out a “Gorrum”, he was concentrating so hard he hadn’t saved and would have to do the whole level over.
Asher set down the controller as over the comm. came, "Zzztttzzttztztz.....Mayday! Mayday....Zztztztztz. This is the Star of Sihnon ... zzttzz ... liner...zzztzttzt ...please help."
The kid turned to Fu Sheng, “Excuse me, gotta go.” Then he headed for his usual station down with Wolf.

Subject: A Challenge....
Truth be told, I'm a bit concerned jumping into this game. I need to do a bunch more research to cover the "Duties" of the character. I would think that the roles and responsabilies of a "Cheif of Security" would be fairly black and white, the carrying out of those is what makes the story.
As he seems to "Report" to Eol's character maybe I could get some guidance there "Old Buddy"? This is your second mission? So maybe a little help would be in order.
I should we make John new to the assignment so there is no history on board yet? I was thinking of having a bit of a "foggy" record on John's service. His records sort of being "Sanitized". That leaves more room for "rumores".

Subject: Looks like a busy weekend......
Thanks boss for chance to join....
I was thinking of naming my character Randolf Andrews or better known to his friends as Randy Andy.....
But that might not work so good for a Security Officer.
I'll work on the character basics this weekend.
Not a lot of time to over think or get too cute with it all.
I guess I'll learn as I go. My gut is going with a human and he's a desendent of my character from Rogers Castle Rautenbur game. From a line of servicemen, but not for the reason of family tradition, they all have just has a personal sense of honor and commitment. There is also a long tradition in the Reid family of Law and Order.
It didn't come out in the other story but there are a couple of famous Reids it the family that have stood for right. (Anyone guess who they are?)

Subject: Not Just Charlie Brown.............
The late night had brought a peaceful quiet to the streets of Eisley Moss. Asher enjoyed the easy silence as he made his way back to the space dock. He still watched for odd movement in the dark but he was not edgy, he only had himself to care for now.
The idle time let his mind wander; he remember a figure that that appeared several times as they had made their way to the Double D. The image of a young red haired freckle faced pretty girl brought a smile. She had dogged them all the way but Ash could tell she wasn’t a threat to the crew, she just like watching them. He’d had it happen before. These were the one he worried about most, not that they‘d hurt him, he might hurt them.
to
The next morning the Asher found that a new cargo was being delivered. He pitched in help store away the goods as they arrived. He saw other item being brought; items that more or less were gifts, gifts of food to make their run more tolerable. These folks were treating them closer to friends than a hired delivery service.
Through the comings and goings he turned to find that really pretty Little Red Haired Girl standing holding a ceramic jar. The smell of raisins and oatmeal was enough to make his mouth water. The girl handed the jar to Ash and whispered fearfully, “for you.”
The kid touched the girl's soft tiny hands as he took the jar, “Thank you, …..I was hoping to be seeing you again, ya disappeared last night.”
Her eye went wide when she realized that Asher has actually seen her …and remembered her.
Her confidence suddenly broke and she ran away as fast as she could. A man and woman, her parents by resemblance alone, stood by and watched, shaking their heads.
"You'll never get a man if you don't talk to him honey!" the Mom called out exasperated.
"Well that is not always true dear. Some like the quiet type." the Dad said and was hit across the back of his head for his troubles. "But not any you want to be with though."
Asher turned to the couple, “ She’ll do fine, she’s better off finding someone from here anyway.... Tell her to just be careful of fella’s like me that just fly in, cuz most of us will just fly out again……. You’ve got a right fine lady there for a daughter. Tell her I’ll keep this in my quarters.”

Subject: SOME TIME LATER...
Ash nodded to Wyatt as the Captain and the others headed to the Double D. The three disappeared inside and the kid turned to the saloon across the street.
The kid didn’t draw many looks as he entered the build and walked up to the bar, he'd become a common sight by now.
Wade stood behind bar in his full white apron drying glasses. Seeing Asher approach to bar the mustached bar keeper drawled, “The usual?”
Asher smiled back saying, “Naw, I just need to speak to Nell.”
Wade tilted his head to the right,“She’s by the stairs.”
Ash glanced over and saw the attractive mature woman. Poised provocatively in a tight uplifting low cut gown she stood surveying the sparse patronage. A warm knowing smile blossomed as she recognized Asher. “ Asher, my sweet, you come to mama tonight?”
The kid smiled as he took in the tempting vision, “Well for now I just want to spend so time on the roof...it’s got a good view of the street and the stars.”
Nell eye him for a moment, "Me and my girls can give you a good view.”
Ash laugh,“No doubt, but for now I just need some time up there.”
“Well, you’ll have to come down sometime..go ahead you earned a little free time…alone.” Nell stepped back to let Asher by, she ran her hand softly along his thigh as he passed.
The kid smiled and ascended the stair. Passing the first floor Amber stood in her door wearing a tightly laced red and black skimpy corset. Bending to let the girls entice, she winked.
“Ah.. later.. maybe…” Ash mumbled as he turn to start the second set of stair.
Dashing up the last few steps he hurry down the hall to the backdoor that lead to the ladder to the roof.
Passing Honey’s room, she stood there in a short red silk open robe. Asher nearly stumbled as she wiggled her finger at him.
“ Miss Honey”..Ash nodded to her then passed out the rear door to grab the ladder to the roof.
The kid made his way across the flat open area to the front of the building. There he kept vigilance on the street and building across the street.
SOME TIME LATER……….
The street had been quiet and he had seen a couple of shooting stars across the moonless night sky. The door to the Double D opened and Wyatt, Tess and Willow emerged. The kid could hear a few other men say their “GoodNights” to his crewmates.
In the planned signal Wyatt gave Asher a quick tip of the hat to let him know all was clear. The trio then headed down the street. Ash knew they didn’t need to wait for him.
Climbing back down the ladder the gunslinger entered the second hall,... Honey and Amber were waiting. The girls sallied up on either side of the young man and diverted him into Honey’s room……..….Rip, Tear, Fling……
SOME TIME LATER………..
Synching his rig in place Ash nodded to the ladies as they lay smiling in near exhaustion. Asher took a deep breath and smiled as he left the room and desended the stair to the next floor. Reaching the stair that lead down to saloon Nell stepped out into the hall.
“Leaving so soon?” She took Asher by the hand and led him into her room…......Unhook…...Unfasten…. Oh my…….
SOME TIME LATER……
Asher s l o w l y descended the last set of stairs. Wade looked up, “Ok, now the usual?”
The kid smiled, “Sure.”
Wade pulled a chilled pitcher and poured a tall glass of milk. Sliding the glass to the young gunslinger, ”Need to keep up your strength.”

Subject: As The Kid Sees It......
Asher felt a bit better when he heard that voice once more come across the comm., “Nice work, boys. This pretty lady’s got some right’n fancy moves. Make’s a girl feel good knowin’ there’s a couple of good men workin’ behind the scenes. Remind me to buy ya’ll a drink once we git back to port.”
When the engine room was secure and Asher made his way to the galley to help Trish make the evening meal. The two extra place settings confirmed the crew had expanded.
Willow ushered the two new members in and introduced the new pilot Tess Zhou and the man he’d met earlier as John Ryan. Ash watch carefully as Willow introduced Trish, he wasn’t about the stand for any disrespect. Ma smiled at him to let him know things were fine.
The dinner conversation was pleasant as they all got to know each other more. Seems that John was the one that got the first missiles off their tail with his fancy tech work before his station lost power. Ash nearly choked when he heard how close they came to being ended by his slip up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocinante, Common room, The Evening after the auditions
The crew gathered around the cortex as the news of the evening told of the “Barbeque accident.” It was clear they had gotten away unseen . As the news caster droned on Ash could hardly keep from rolling on the floor with laughter as a confrontation between the local Sheriff and the Alliance Federal Marshall was caught in the background. That local sure seemed to get the best of the Feds.
Eisley Moss Spaceport, the next day, late afternoon
The next day Ash was helping Trish get the trash ready when there was a banging on the cargo bay door. Wyatt and Willow let the local Sheriff and some other men into the cargo bay. The kid got bit worried that maybe they hadn’t got away clean. But as he listened it became clear the Sheriff wasn’t there to arrest them and before long the Sheriff was offering them work.
“Would you be looking for hire?” It ain’t a big job, the five of us to Higgin’s moon and then twice as many coming back with us. We can stomach hammocks if you must.”
Ash was amazed as he heard the story of what a …… Bey was. When he heard Bey sold the farmers families off as slaves it brought the memories of how Adelei Niska and Waylend Gayner had tried to steal his family’s farm. A run to Higgin’s Moon would be one of those “Good” jobs that don’t come around too often.
Higgin’s Moon, a few days later
Ash and Wolf watch from the catwalk as the Sheriff presented his papers to get the farmers family released. Ash got real tired of listening to the lawyer the magistrate had send prattle on about due process and compensations and that kinda legal mumbo-jumbo. The kid had heard the same trash years ago.
Ash looked to Wolf and said, “My guns need cleaned……think I’ll bring um down there where I got plenty of room for all of them.” Wolf seemed to agree. Before long the two toted pistols, rifles and shotgun down to within just a few feet of the lawyer. For next half hour the two cleaned ,clicked, spun and pumped a small armory of weapons as they glared at the lawyer. Didn’t take long for that lawyer to get real reasonable.
As the lawyer left the Sheriff spoke to Wyatt, “Good men you got there. Don’t suppose you’d part with either of them? I could use a deputy.” Asher’s head snapped up, “Sorry Sir, been there,.. done that.. got the holes in my back to prove it.” The gunslinger gathered his toy and took them back his quarters.
It wasn’t much later that the whole crew stood on the gangway of the Rocinante and watched as the men are reunited with their families again, wives, daughters and sons. It is a very touching moment and the Sheriff seems right pleased as well.
Things got real stable for a while, the farmers and folk seemed to have plenty of small jobs to keep the Roc busy. Ash got into a daily routine of practice and meditation with Willow before breakfast. Wolf and John kept him busy the rest of the day. John had him help him as the man learned the boats systems and Wolf kept him going over the wiring or just doing general maintenance to keep the Roc in top shape.
After about two months Wyatt got a message that he Willow and Tess should meet the Sheriff and few farmers at a local place known as the double D. The kid had been around town enough to hear that the Dew Drop Inn was more or less a private establishment. The general public and visitors were guided to other saloons. Ash had found a nice one just across the street. Had some right friendly ladies working there too.
When Asher showed up in his usual rigs Wyatt told him that the invite was just for three of them,” Ain’t no harm in going for a walk with my friends, beside there is some mighty good star watching from the roof of Nell’s across the street.” The kid knew his job and even if this seemed a friendly get together he’d be there for them.
