===== Main Engineering, USS Chimera =====
Shane materialised safely in main Engineering. As the blue-ish haze of the traposrter effect faded Shane noticed that several nearby standing crewman stared at him like seeing a monster. {Well, I suppose I look like one ...} Shane thought and frowned: "Where is Lieutenant Rodgers?" he asked the general public.
Some of the crewman just shrugged their shoulders to show that >they know nothing, they are innocent< but a senior petty officer clad in a yellow colared uniform replied: "The Lieutenant is still missing. He was trapped behind some debrises during the ride through the anomaly and there was a rescue team send to his aid. The team is back but I havent seen the Lieutenant till now ".
Shane noded: "All right. I have orders from the General and I want you to pass them to Lieutenant Rodgers as soon as he's back and fit for duty. A shuttle from the Gott will arrive here soon and is supposed to transport an Engineering team back to the Gott. They need expert help over there and I want you to select a team of the engineering staff that that is not urgently needed here and send it over."
The Senior perry officer noded: "Aye, aye sir".
Trying to recall all Bretam's orders he continued: "Besides that I need a report about what systems are functional at the moment and what can be functional in 8 hours. I expect to have the report within the next hour"
The Petty officer looked like he wanted to sigh but he resistet and said plainly: "Yes, air".
Shane noded and walked away in the direction of the CEO's office. Once inside the office he started to code a message to Rangi: "Gott is in need of medical supply. Please prepare anything we dont urgently need and that could be usefull for the Gott". He tapped the tricoder once again and send the message over the tricoder network.
An another order Shane was just writting was for Lt.Jg Oriana in Science: "1. I need you to find out where exactly where Chimera is at the moment. 2. Make a list of suggestions how we could destroy the X!Chi eggs and where exactly they are. 3. Support Commander Palmer in her search for temporal anomalies.
The first two orders were clear enough, Shane needed to know where the Chimera is at the moment. They 'supposed' they are more or less at the same place where they were before passing the anomaly, but they could not know. They should be at least nearby federation borders, but Shane (and Bretam) want to know that exactly. Making suggestions for the destruction of the X!Chi eggs was a bit more tricky, but Shane knew that the Science staff was a bunch of addicted freaks ... and they they will serve him with the solution he needed.
Since he agreed with Samantha Palner <<OOC ... will happen in a backlog JL with Bren>> that she will search the nearby space for temporal anomalies or anything else that could help them to get back to their own time he assumed she will contact Astrometrics and ask for help/data. Ensuring that Science will help the Commander was essential if they ever wanted to get back home.
The last thing he needed to be done at the moment was the inspection of the torpedoes load on board. He knew that Ens. Dexter did a part-inspection already but he needed exact number of all usable torpedoes. He stood up from the CEO's desk and walked outside the office. He looked down at the whole engineering area that was a half-level below him and looked for Dexter. After a moment he saw him at a nearby console tapping his fingers away.
"Ensign Dexter" he called out, "I have an assigment for you, please come to the office".
Dexter looked up from his console and surely wondering what the XO might want from him he stood up and went over to the CEO's office. On the way several younger crewman gave him a pityfull looks as he passed them by. Few would like to go to the XO's at the moment.
Arriving inside the CEO's office Dexter had not even the time to report properly when Shane started: "Well, Ensign, I know you did already a part-inspection of our torpedo load but I need to know exact numbers. Please do the innspection again and at all storage rooms you can get inside. I dont want you alone to go there so please take a senior officer with you ..." Shane thought for a moment, "maybe LT. Wellington is she's fit for this as help. Report to me as soon as possible."
With a somewhat lower tone then usually Dexter replied: "Understood Commander"
