Subject: Confused
Respectfully, Horatio wasn't on the bridge at 735. He was running to the bridge after his injury in the labs.
Also, I thought we weren't too speak for others? Please understand, still trying to figure the nuances of this out. No offense meant.

I updated Maize's roster log. It's not complete, but I'm slowly fleshing out her character for her.
Wanted something to do while waiting to post, I'm totally itching for it, this is hella fun.

Fine, you're a fish. A finely filleted fish fresh from France. Prepared after being baked slowly for an hour.
I wish I had a swimming pool. A nice big one in my front yard. It wraps around my house, like a moat.

Excellent post. I know sciences would love to get a sample of whatever it is for study and diagnostics.

USS Peregrine, Bridge - 0745
"Understood," Tochi replied, "but it doesn't sound like more time is a commodity we have, at the moment. You say your scans, thus far, indicate no immediate danger to the ship or crew, correct?"
"That's as far as I can tell with what limited information is available, yes sir." Horatio replied.
"Very well; feel free to continue your scans of the pod, Lieutenant," Zai said, coming forward a bit in the chair and locking his gaze to the viewscreen, "but, we're going to go ahead and reel it in.
Lt. Tesenblen has a nagging feeling that something was innately wrong with the escape pod.
These readings shouldn't be happening. This isn't natural... he mused to himself.
Ensign Maize appeared on the bridge minutes later. "Reporting as requested, Lieutenant."
"Thank you, get on Sci II, let's try to make heads or tails of this pod. Something's off." he ordered.
Dalia quickly went to her assigned post and began pulling up information on the computer.
"Let's try something different. I want to penetrate the ship with a focal scan on various sections. Something tells me there's something in there that's causing this." Horatio continued.
"Yes sir. Starting localized scan on the cockpit of the pod." she responded.
"I'm going to scan for anything the ship might be carrying." the Lt. declared.

After several minutes, Ensign Maize made a noise of surprise. "Sir, I've done it. Focal scans on the cockpit indicate one lifeless humanoid corpse aboard, but the body isn't giving off any readings that I can tell." She looked over at the chief science officer.
Horatio's lips were pursed in visible agitation.
"Sir...?"
Lt. Tesenblen turned to Lt. Rockatansky. "Sir, we may have a problem."
(OOC: Assuming curious acknowledgement)
"From what I can tell, there seems to be two containment units aboard the escape pod. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, but I believe the flucturations in our lifeform readings are coming from one of the units. They appear to be specimen containment units and one of them..." he glanced at his monitor again, "is failing rapidly. Based on my readings, there are indicators of bio-mimetic gel coming from the failing container, as well."
(OOC: Assuming acknowledgement again)
"One more thing, sir. I'm not entirely sure whatever is being held in the unit is entirely organic." Horatio said uncertainly.

Subject: Help?
I'm not really sure what all to say about the pod, tbh. I'm not as familiar with the star trek lingo and whatnot as I'd like to be, so if you want to pm me some suggestions, I'd be most appreciative.
I love this writing game concept though, it's a really thrilling read.
I also fixed my first post by adding a time. I left my latest post rather open ended to get direction on where to go from there.

Finally, the turboift doors whooshed open to admit Lieutenant Tesenblen.
Horatio arrived on the bridge slightly winded. "Reporting as requested, sir!"
"We appreciate you joining us, Mister Tesenblen," Drake spoke testily, when he noticed the bloody gash on the science officer's head.
"Lieutenant," he asked, "are you all right?"
"Yes sir, it's not as bad as it looks, just a bit of bad luck with a low cabinet in my lab." He gingerly touched the injury again.
Drake nodded. "Fair enough, but when you are done here, you need to go see Doctor Synklar, and spend a few minutes with a dermal regenerator. If you lost consciousness, she should evaluate you for a concussion, as well. Are you sure that you are well enough to continue?"
"Yes sir," Horatio reached up and made a knocking motion against the uninjured side of his head. "Won't be the last time this old noggin' takes a hit."
"All right, then," he answered. "I want a full analysis of that escape pod."
"Right away, Captain." Lt. Tesenblen whirled on his feet and went to Sci One's post. Tapping his comm, he called Dalia. "Ensign Maize, transfer all relevant Hekaran data to Sci I, I'm running a diagnostic on the escape pod, comparing it to what we have in the computer. There seems to be some wildly conflicting readings on the life forms."
=/= Done, Lieutenant. =/= Maize responded quickly.
She always was quick at her work. He smiled inwardly.
After studying the information on his display for several minutes, Horatio turned to Lt. Zai, "Lieutenant, I'm at a loss. My readings are just as scattered as Lt. Moriden's scans are. I believe I can safely say, though, that the escape pod is not made of nor does it contain any foreign or dangerous material to the crew. There seems to be nothing auspiciously unusual about the craft, but until I get proper information to go on, it'll be hard to say for sure on any of these points."
"In my opinion, it could be nothing more than a misfired pod, no? Or it could be something from inside the pod causing the fluctuations. I need more time to focus the scans." Lt. Tesenblen said. He continued studying the monitors, looking for answers.
"Ensign Maize, join me on the bridge at Sci II. We're going to link the stations."
=/= Yes sir, on my way. =/= she replied.

USS Peregrine - Botanical Laboratory 0729
=/=Lt Zai to Sciences,=/= the Lt. snipped, =/=We could really use someone on the bridge. As in five minutes ago!=/=
Dalia tapped her comms, "Ensign Maize here. Lt Tesenblen is, uh, indisposed, at the moment. I'll see if I can get him to,
=/=Him or you, Ensign,=/= Zai interrupted, =/=We want someone at SCI One in the next sixty seconds. Zai out.=/=
Ensign Dalia Maize sighed to herself. While she and Lt. Horatio got along famously, she found that he could be completely absorbed in his botanical work at times and lose all track of the outside world.
She walked briskly down the hall on deck 4 to the botanical laboratory, which was really just one of the six multi-purpose facilities revamped to suit Lt. Horatio's desire for a specific lab for his studies.
"SIR! You've been paged to the bridg-..." Ensign Maize stopped short as she cleared the lab doors and saw Lieutenant Horatio Tesenblen prone on the floor.
Dalia carefully looked around carefully for any sign of what might have incapacitated him. Approaching, she dropped to her knees next to Horatio's motionless form.
"Lieutenant!" she rolled him over and checked for a pulse.
As she checked, Lt. Tesenblen came around. "Damn it..." he said, rubbing his head wincing. "That blasted low hanging cabinet got me again. Remind me to remove that some time soon."
"You knocked yourself out?..." she sighed. "Sir, the bridge has been paging you for some time, now. You're needed immediately!" She assisted the Lieutenant to his feet.
"What time is it.." his voice trailed off as he realized just how long he had been out. "By all that is holy!" he exclaimed, sprinting out the door tapping his comms.
"Tesenblen to bridge, I'm on my way!"
"Let me know if you need anything! I'll be in the main lab!" Dalia called out to his rapidly retreating form. What a clumsy idiot... I hope everything is ok...

Stardate 2365.02.07
USS Peregrine, Botanical Laboratory - 6:50
Lieutenant Horatio paced the botanical labs inspecting his growing plants for the second time today. "How are we doing today, boys?" he spoke aloud to nobody in particular. "I'm glad to see everyone in fine health."
"Computer, assess viability of cross breeding specimen 12 with specimen 04 for long term suitability in low oxygen atmosphere with attention to giving 04 the coriaceousness of specimen 12."
=/=Assessment will complete in two hours.=/=
Horatio paced around making one final inspection before making his way back to his office in the science lab.
As he made himself comfortable in his chair, he looked at his computer and groaned slightly to himself. He had promised himself to look over the applications to the labs aboard the vessel today, having put them off for some time. He needed to hire one person to help him, Dalia, and Petra with experiments and running the labs.
Dalia Maize was his assistant chief science officer. Fresh out of Starfleet Academy, the ensign was eager to learn and had an exploratory ambition that convinced Horatio to bring her aboard the ship.
She specialized in biochemical engineering, which would be useful to both the crew and the ship if any kind of alien biology were discovered and needed to be analyzed.
Petra was an enlisted science specialist. He had no proper, formal education, but was brilliant with his hands and quick on his feet. He only needed to be taught a process once and he took to it like a duck to water.
A duck to water...Funny that I'm thinking about ducks and water while sitting in a star ship somewhere in the galaxy... Horatio chuckled to himself.
Running through the authorization protocols, he began perusing the various applicant's files.
27 applicants! This will take ages... Keeping true to his word though, he spent the next long while looking over the various files.
He finally settled on two potential candidates to run by the Captain on the following day.
