Subject: End of shift
Stardate 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine; Deck 2, XO's Office - 1500
Tochi stifled a yawn as the door to his office whispered shut behind him. Then, rubbing at his spot-dappled temples in order to ease away the beginnings of a headache, he made his way behind his desk and allowed himself to flop, somewhat unceremoniously into the chair. The previously suppressed yawn came out, then, as a rather heavy sigh that registered somewhere between tedium and contentment. He chuckled softly at the sound of it and let his eyes close for a moment, reclining in the chair as his fingers moved from his temples to the back of his neck.
"Ahh, what a day," he chuffed at the ceiling before opening his eyes and assuming a somewhat less relaxed posture, "and it's nowhere near finished,"
For what had begun as just another, tedious tour of the waypoints on the patrol route, it was looking to end with all of the excitement the Peregrine and her crew had been denied for the past six weeks packed into twelve short hours. First, the encounter with the Hekaran lifeboat had thrown the whole ship into an over-exuberant flurry of activity that, according to the steady stream of reports Tochi received throughout the day, was still ongoing. It was good, of course, that the crew had something aside from the status quo to occupy them, and, certainly, there was something to be discovered in it's continued study, but, as it turned out, the pod and it's contents would be turned over to the Serapis when Peregrine reached Starbase 118.
Therein lied the second twist in what he had fully expected to be another straight-as-a-pin day; Starfleet Command had ordered Peregrine out of the purgatory of patrol and into escort duty on a diplomatic mission, of all things. Tochi had, at first, worried that such an assignment would be about as exciting as the past six weeks had been, especially given the strict orders that the crew of the escort ship would have no interaction, at all, with the emissaries from either faction. From what he'd managed to read (between reviewing reports and tending to his actual command duties) throughout the course of the day, though, with the Kuldar involved, anything was possible. He wasn't altogether sure about the Rytains, either, but he hadn't had the chance to fully review those files, as yet.
Then, as another kink in the reel, there had been a flurry of personnel changes announced; some of them exciting and, others, not so much. Lt Chell would be transferring off at Starbase 118 and Peregrine's new Ops Chief would be transferring on. That was the not-so-exciting announcement, at least, in Tochi's mind. Chell had made an excellent Chief of Operations and, in the short time they had served together, Tochi had come to consider the Bolian a friend. Chell would certainly be missed,
Tochi smirked, stretched, and, then, rose from his seat and crossed the floor to the replicator. "Saurian brandy," the Trill ordered, "warmed."
The replicator chirped confirmation and produced the requested beverage in a short tapered glass. "Here's to you, Korvin," Tochi said, lifting the glass in salute, "We're sorry to see you go." He took a sip, wincing a little at the fiery taste of the stuff, and started back toward his desk.
,The good news where the personnel shifts were concerned, though, was that Flight Control would be gaining a new helmsman at Starbase 118. An honest to goodness, Academy Flight School trained, helmsman! That news had warmed Lt Zai's heart much like the Saurian brandy was, now, warming his throat.
Between this Ensign Thomason - who's dossier we still need to read, by the way, he mused, indulging in another sip of the brandy as he reclaimed the seat behind his desk, ¬ and Petty Officer Owen taking shifts at CONN, we can finally free up some of the other dep,
The door chime called for attention, three times, in rapid succession, just then, causing Zai to lose his thought and, also, swallow his brandy faster than he'd intended.
How the frill does she do that, he wondered, clearing his throat in an attempt to soothe the sudden burn.
"It's open," he called.
The door opened and, as quickly as Petty Officer Owen appeared in front of him, Lt Zai couldn't help but wonder if she had walked through the door or, instead, teleported through it.
"PettyOfficerOwenreportingasorderedsir!"
Tochi grinned, no, Tochi outright beamed, looking at the young shuttle pilot, now. She was standing there, at attention, but it was one of the most frenetic examples of stillness he could have ever have hoped to have seen. Stick straight and still but practically vibrating with the excitement she was trying to contain. Her elfin face, too, seemed to be struggling to maintain a stoic expression; her eyes sparkled and popped as if there were fireworks going off inside them, her cheeks were flushed a vibrant pink, and she was doing a terrible job of trying not to smile. In fact, it was as if invisible hands had grabbed the corners of her mouth and, regardless how hard she fought against them, were managing to pull them up into a full-on, toothy, face-splitter of a smile.
Next, that hair of hers is going to explode, he thought, Better do something about that.
"At ease, Petty Officer," Tochi smiled, "Please," he gestured to the chair opposite him, "have a seat."
"Ooooh," she tittered, "Idon'dare,sir.I'mnighonpessin'myknickersasitis,sir!"
Tochi couldn't help but laugh out loud at that. He managed to contain himself with a third sip of the brandy, though, and, following that sip, he set the glass down and rose from his seat, again. "Do you know why you're here, Megan," he asked, coming around from behind the desk, hands clasped behind his back.
Megan made a funny little squealing noise in her throat before squeaking out; "Jesusan'Mary,sir,yessir,IthinkIdo,sir."
Tochi managed to resist the urge to laugh out loud, again, by folding his arms across his chest and leaning against his desk as he watched her: "And you think you're ready to sit a shift or three a week at CONN, do you?"
"OhGod,Ido,sir!Permissiontospeakfreely,sir?"
Megan was dancing on the inside and it showed on the outside. Tochi was almost scared of what would happen after he said; "Of course."
What Megan did next wasn't exactly considered speaking, it was more an ear-splitting squeal of pure, unadulterated joy, and then, as if the vocal freedom had spilled uncontrollably over into the realm of the physical, the little woman launched herself across the space between them, thudded into Tochi's chest, and wrapped her arms around him with a force that a humanoid of her size should never have been able to muster.
EEP! We're being climbed!
"Thank you, sir," she squeaked into his chest, "thankyouthankyou,"
She'd said it three more times before Tochi realized that she was sobbing the words more than squeaking them, now. He returned her embrace, then, and smiled; "You're more than welcome, Megan. You've earned it, Now, if you don't mind letting me go. You're soaking my uniform."

The fact that Dox's post was inspired by a random comment via PMs regarding Arcani's character is downright hysterical! Good stuff!
Also, for what it's worth, "Captain Backup's Word Version" of the EOD thread is now at a whopping 90 pages! You people are writing your little fingers down to nubs!

Ody - again, no worries! You're doing great! One little oopsie is nothing to vet all knicker-twisted over. Happens to all of us sooner or later. Especially us old guys.

...that Karri can't "immediately" report to the Cargo Bay in order to assist with ENGs ongoing efforts, of course, Astrid. I imagine after all the hum-drum the crew's experienced these past weeks, double timing it down there would be a welcome diversion (maybe not as welcome as rain-wrestling the Lone Hornet, of course, but... you know... )
Also... couldn't resist tacking up a post playing out Megan's reaction to getting put on the CONN rotation.  Amn't she just adorable, though?

Stardate 2365.20.07
USS Peregrine; Shuttle Bay 2 - 0941
=/=,Reaction Control System response is green, Work Bee 2,=/= V'Lur's voice stated over the auxiliary craft's comm, =/=Come about to zero-one-five; pitch mark-four-five.=/=
Inside the Work Bee's tiny cockpit, Megan adjusted the controls to comply with the Vulcan Master Chief's direction. "Work Bee 2, acknowledged," she replied, "Zero-one-five, mark-four-five. Check?"
=/=Check,=/= V'lur confirmed as the little workcraft's attitude adjusted to his specifications, =/=Engage manipulator arms, Petty Officer; full extension.=/=
"Aye, aye," Megan responded with a faint grin. She'd been running V'Lur's checklists for months, now, and, as such, had already keyed in the sequence ahead of time. One, slender finger tapped the console at her side and she felt as well as heard the whirring of the servos beneath her feet as the manipulators deployed. "Manipulators engaged," she said, watching as the robotic arms stretched out ahead of the Work Bee, "Full extension."
RoM checks and control dexterity routines, next, Megan anticipated, her hands flitting across the consoles around her in preparation. Just as Kook had implied a couple of hours earlier, running these diagnostics on the AUX craft had gone a long way to settling her mind and allowing it properly compartmentalize her thoughts. By the time they'd run through the Level Two's on the Peregrine's compliment of shuttlepods, in fact, the young petty officer had found that she had actually started to multi-task, the majority of her focus on the routine of these checklists and diagnostics but, also, some small piece of it dedicated to reviewing her studies and correlating it to the work she was doing now,
=/=Confirmed,=/= V'Lur droned in that Vulcan way of his, =/=Deployment Actuator Systems are in the green. Initialize Range of Motion and control dexterity check,=/=
CheckS, Megan thought, setting her hands to the controls, You always say "checks", plural. What's with shorting me the ‘s'?
"Acknowledged," is how she responded aloud, though, "RoM checks commencing in three, two,"
=/=Incoming transmission,=/= the computer interrupted, =/=Text only.=/=
Well, Megan blinked, genuinely surprised by this apparent deviation in V'Lur's routine, That's new, She allowed one hand drift away from the manipulator controls in order to acknowledge the transmission and bring it up on screen. She read it. Blinked. Rubbed her eyes with that free hand. Read it again,
To: PO2 Owen, M.B.
From: Lt Zai, T.
Petty Officer Owen,
Please see me following your duty shift re: your bridge shifts at CONN beginning Stardate 42138.9.
V/R
Lt Zai
Both of Megan's hands fell into her lap, then, and, similarly, her mouth fell open as her eyes widened in stunned surprise. "I got it," she murmured, almost inaudibly, still blinking in disbelief at the message.
"I got it," she repeated, a bit louder this time, not realizing that her hands had found their way back to the manipulator controls.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I got it! I got it! I got it!!!" This said loudly enough that she was likely to be heard three decks in either direction without needing a comm.
From behind the wide porthole that overlooked the Shuttle Bay from Flight Ops, V'Lur and Kook watched as Work Bee 2 pirouetted just above the flight deck, it's manipulator arms flailing wildly and, at times, pumping victoriously in the air, as Megan squealed with delight within it's cockpit.
"You see, V'Lur," Kook laughed, watching the display, "I told you this would be a more functional test for the RoMs."
"Fascinating," was all V'Lur could manage.

That's right! I remember reading that, now. Thank you, sir!
Edit: Dox and Silent - Since Dunc has reminded me that the corpse is still aboard the pod, go with the info I PMd, earlier... I imagine the doctor might make a case for removing the corpse from the pod in order to facilitate further examination but that's completely up to you. And, as always, if you have questions or need more info, just holler at me.

Subject: Quick question for ENG, SCI, and/or MED
Has the Hekaran corpse been removed from the pod (or are there plans to do so)? Looking for some sciencey-type-stuff to soft toss to SCI and MED in this regard and wanted to verify what the status of the body was before I "officially" PMd some data in that regard.
Thanks!
