Previously on DS102:

Life has returned to normal on the station. Duty goes on normally. Let's join in the action.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks next to the FCO, heading to one of the maintenance sites::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::In Station Ops, looking over a report coming in from Astrophysics outlining what they need for my proposed new study of the Argolis Cluster::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::follows along with the Station Commander on his inspection tour of Dock 2::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks towards one maintenance cart and passes his right hand covered with the white glove over it::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::wonders if the cart should be spick-span glean or coated in oil as it was being used::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::checks the glove::
CO_YoGhi says:
:: in Operations, filing supply requests for the USS Scorpius ::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::can't help but look at the gloves and wonder which way this is going to go::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Spotless... That can mean two things: this cart was subject of a thorough cleansing by the book, or it wasn't used at all... What do you think?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Let's go with "By the Book" clean, Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::waits for the FCO answer while walking towards a shuttle, which its starboard nacelle is being under maintenance::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: I'll accept that. Now, can someone inform me what the nature of this maintenance process is? ::points at the nacelle::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Question, Captain. If I was planning a survey of the graviton fields in the Argolis cluster, would I need to submit a request for needed materials for the project with yourself and Captain Marek or simply go through Operations to request what I would need?
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: If it is to equip the station it goes through captain Marek, if it's to equip the Scorpius it goes through me. If it's station equipment you want transferred on the Scorpius, then it goes to both Captains.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Actually I am hoping to do it from here, using remote probes. Just have to make sure they can carry the instrumentation and processors I want and still have the fuel it will need for the trip. Step one on take two of my Academy Thesis.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Or more accurately, solving the fatal flaw in proving my original thesis.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech1>: Sir, we follow a standard maintenance protocol for each period of active duty, implement any needed corrections, and then run Level 4 diagnostics, Sir!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Mech 1: Very well. What is your average time for such procedures? ::taps on his PADD in order to check some data::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech1>: Well Sir, for just the one nacelle, the normal time, assuming we don't run into anything, takes about five hours.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech1>: And most of that time is waiting for the diagnostics, so we get that started and move onto another set of preventative maintenance items so we're not sitting still for the entire process.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::checks on his PADD:: Mech 1: Starfleet regulations indicates a standardized time of four hours and 30 minutes... ::sounds really nitpicking::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Mech 1: ::nods and moves towards the next Maintenance Station::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech1>: Once we've got more than one procedure going, there's some overlap as we're doing something else when the first procedure finishes
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::meanwhile taps continuously on his PADD::
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Alright, obsessing about getting the facts right is good. But don't let it grow into a whale.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech1>: Sir, we pride ourselves as being the best multi-taskers this side of the quadrant, Sir...
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: No sir, of course not sir. It's actually just setting it up so that as I build more processing models I can test them against a known. Trying to increase sensor analysis processing through software. If it works, might be able to adapt it to other sensor ou... er, right. I'm getting ahead of myself again.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns his head:: Mech 1: Glad to hear that. I would not expect less from anyone onboard this Station.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::reaches the other Maintenance Station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Mech 2: Describe the nature of your current activity ::raises an eyebrow and taps again on his PADD::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech2>: Sir, ::steps down from the shuttles sensor array:: I was just about to start calibrating the navigational sensors to ensure the next jock... err pilot... doesn't get lost, Sir::looks at the FCO and hopes the slip won't cost him his spot at the weekly poker table::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Turns back to the Computer to find a preliminary report from Microbiology on their Anaerobic Microbe Study. Sees no glaring errors so approves stage 2, and requests final report within 3 days.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
Mech 2: Very well... ::taps on his PADD again:: I see this vessel maintenance is scheduled to be finished in one hour. I will not distract you from your work. Carry on.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::passes the hand with the white glove over the cart next to Mech 2> Self: Clean. Very well.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Mech2>: Sir, thank you Sir!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: I won't take more time from these men. They are very busy, and I have seen enough. ::taps on his PADD saving his report on the inspection:: Shall we return to Main Operations?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: By your command... Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: By the way, you have received a copy of my report on your work Station at Main Operations. Please read it and send me your thought on the matter.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks towards the Secondary Docks exit::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: I'd be happy to, and Sir, thanks for going easy on the crew. By the way, may I suggest returning to Ops by way of the turbolift a Beta Sierra Gamma section..
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Sounds like a good idea.... Lead the way, Ensign.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: If you don't mind my asking, Captain, what was your career path before you were chosen for Command of the Scorpius?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::heads toward the Dock exit and on to the nearest turbolift::
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Me? I was a science man. Never thought I'd end up being in command.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Never even hoped to be chief
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Sir, when the lift passes by Beta Sierra Gamma, you might look out and see something of interest... ::hopes curiosity baits the Commander::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: When I was in the Academy I wouldn't have understood that line. Then I got to make all the decisions, "got" being a poor choice of words. ::Grins.:: But there are some advantages. All my department leads keep telling me that.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Something interesting?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
SC: Yes Sir, something that came in a while ago, call it, a "blast from the past."
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: ::notoriously curios about it:: Well, you sound mysterious... Let's see ...
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::knows that at that point, the viewport on the lift will face an opening towards the Main Dock where a very old ship was recently tugged in::
