Subject: Casualties inbound.
“Expect at least 40 casualties,” John’s voice stated over the comm., “I’ll be down once we dock with the cruise liner.”
Willow's worried eyes met Fu Sheng's, then, and she whispered; "Forty? Where are we going to put them all?"
“A jug fills drop by drop, Takahara Shao Jeh,” Fu Sheng said softly, “let us not worry about a want of space until our jug is near full and these drops we fill it with start to spill over.”
Willow’s voice firmed into a doctor's assured command; "Understood, John. As soon as you can, join us in the cargo bay for triage.
Si Fu, thank you. I will take any pair of trained hands I can. Please grab another one of these boards and come to the cargo bay. We'll need to assess the injuries and set everyone into a stream for treatment - those who can wait, those who can't, and those we can only make more comfortable. Are you able to handle that?"
“I am,” the monk confirmed with a nod to Willow, who had already started for the cargo bay. He grabbed another backboard per her instructions and was only steps behind.

...I worked up a short one (more or less just a reply to Willow and a step or three towards the cargo bay) and was 'holding on to it' to see if anyone else would offer up any more 'fodder'... posts as short as this one freak me out a little.

Subject: Shift change
Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery - Deck 2; Lt MacTavish’s quarters – 0313
The scuttlebutt, this week, had been that “Mac’s so cranky because he missed being home with Chantelle for their first anniversary,” and, in truth, that might’ve been part of it…
Serene’ll be wantin’ ta gob on ta no end aboot tha’, Jack MacTavish grumbled inwardly as he stared at the ceiling, Damn fool o’ me, anyway, fer no’ takin’ th’ leave an’ shootlin’ off ‘ome fer a bit!
… The greater part of it, though – and Jack wasn’t convinced that he’d been any ‘crankier’ than usual, lately – the greater part of it was more likely given over to the Discovery’s proximity to The Neutral Zone. Given, the Discovery’s planned course for this routine warp drive calibration and maintenance run kept the ship well on the supposed “safe side” of the NZ, Mac trusted Romulans about as far as he was likely to throw Commander Avanti in heavy Gs. In the Tactical Chief’s mind, he was more over-cautious than over-cranky…
BOOM!!!
“Bloody ‘ell?!?!” Mac’s view of the darkened ceiling was suddenly and violently replaced by an up close and personal look at the deck beside his bunk. “Och! Fer th’ luv o’ heather an’ haggis,” he growled, pushing himself to his feet and reaching for his uniform in the same motion, “Ef tha’s no’ a bloody Warbaird, I’ll fargin’ throttle th’ helmsman tha’ hit a fargin’ ast’roid like tha’!”
He was still grumbling (although, now in Gaelic and, for the most part, under his breath) as he stomped out into the corridor, shrugging into his tunic just enough to reach his comm-badge. His fingers tapped angrily on the Starfleet logo and turned to fastening his tunic. “MacTavish to Soileau,” he growled, knowing it would be his D-1 Tac Officer on the bridge…
BOOOMM!!
…The deck heaved beneath his feet, again, and Lt MacTavish found himself clinging to the bulkhead to remain on his feet. “Wha’ th’ bloody hell’s goin’ on up there, Roni,” he barked, continuing his communication with the duty TAC, “Why’s me boat taken no’ one but two fargin’ hits en less’n three bloody minnits?!!”
=/\=Unknown, sir,=/\= Soileau replied, =/\=We’ve got absolute zilch on scans and nothing on weapon type…=/\=
“Wha’s our position?”
=/\=Well outside your specified parameters, boss. If it’s Romulans, they’re more than in violation…=/\=
USS Discovery - Bridge – 0317
“Ye dinnae need ta preach me chapt’r an’ vairse, Ensign,” Lt MacTavish replied, stepping out of the turbolift even before the door could fully open and striding toward the Tactical Rim, “I’ve been doin’ this a wee bit longer’n ye’ve been breathin’.”
“Aye, sir,” Soileau responded, relinquishing her place at TAC 1 and moving to the Auxiliary.
The Scot’s stern glare took in the forward display, made a quick sweep of the remaining duty stations on the bridge, and then fell to his own console. “Mester Soileau, get Lt Llafet on deck. Tell ‘er I want th’ Intel rips fer this sector fer th’ pas’ month, an’ I wan’ ‘em three days ago!”
“Already done, boss,” Soileau answered.
“Co’rdinate wi’ Engineerin’…”
“…have all available power shunted to the defensive systems,” the young TAC ensign interrupted, almost absently, “Alert Security to be on stand-by with counter-boarding protocols. Battle crews on the torpedo decks. Yes, sir. All covered, sir.”
“Tha’s good wairk, Soileau,” Mac grunted, his eyes lifting, now, from the TAC displays at his fingertips and ticking to Captain Blair.
“We’ve go’ no’ a bloody theng on th’ scanners, sair,” he grudgingly admitted, “Et’s as ef Dicov’ry’s been tairpedoed oota nothin’. I recommend tha’ we retreat ta a distance outside o’ known taripedo range ‘til I c’n get wi’ Sensors an’ ‘ave some tinkerin’ done, sair. Per’aps these sneaky buggers’ll give a bit o’ a chase an’ we’ll catch a wink o’ their energy signature ef naught else… Give us somethen’ ta point at, aye?”
((Just a little "let's go" fodder, I suppose... ))

...I'm good either way. Just have had a few back and forths with Teller re: Mac, already, and was sort of offering up that bit for "reference" or whatever.
I like the bit about Venn being temporary, as well... Don't figure that Macgot back with the woman regarding that letter before she left, either... What with the events of No Good Deed getting in the way and all.

Subject: Soooo... for our new counselor...
...I suppose that means that Mac's trip to the head shrinker in "No Good Deed" can very well be retconned to have been a session between Mac and Serene as opposed to Mac and Venn.
Mac's been aboard forever, of course. Ye poor buggers.
P.S. That particular trip to see the shrink is probably one of the best looks at Mac in Counseling...

Subject: *nods*
I can see there being a regulation against displaying holy symbols, etc, whilst in uniform. There's historical precedence for that, I think... always been regulations as to what is and isn't appropriate when in uniform/on duty. Off duty and out of uniform, though, I don't think there's really any way for that to be completely quashed... or even regulated.

Topic: A Star Trek Question
Subject: Hmmmm....
...don't know that I've ever actually seen that statement before and, honestly, I don't know that I've ever seen/heard any supporting evidence in any of the Trek series of films that indicates that this is, in fact, the case.
I seem to recall various scenes throughout the franchise in which one person or the other was observing what might be considered religious customs... The wedding of Lwaxana Troi, for example, in which the wedding party and guests were all supposed to be nude (due to cultural/religious customs, I assume) is one example...
I don't know, dude... that statement and the concept of the UFP being a 'utopian' type of society just kind of rub up against one another in a really uncomfortable fashion. I can see Starfleet saying "don't ram your own religious views down the throats of others" but I can't get behind the idea that they'd out and out forbid their ranks from staying true to their faith.
Just my two bits... I could be wrong.
Also, if Starfleet did put the kibosh on it's rank-and-filers observing their religious devotions, why were there so many scenes in which they did the "burial at sea" bit, loading the fallen into flag draped coffins/torpedo casings and launching them out into space (or the Genesis planet, in Spock's case)?
