=Main Engineering= =U.S.S. Chimera= “Where are those guys?” Rick mumbled to himself as he looked away from the computer console that had his attention for the past 10 minutes. “Computer, locate Lieutenant’s Versey and Stephens.” [Lieutenant’s Hawk Versey and Jason Stephens are not on board the Chimera] “They should’ve made it back to the ship by now,” Rick said. [Please reinstate the question] “I wasn’t talking to you,” Rick said. Rick called all of the shuttlebays and transporter rooms on the Chimera, but he came up short. He was then told that the shuttlebay Hawk and Jason used was still outside of the Chimera, but no one was on board. “Where are they?” Rick asked out loud to no one in particular. “Sir, I’ve just been informed that Lieutenant Versey and Lieutenant Stephens are at the Hotel base,” one of his crewmen said. “How in the ...” Rick said before being interrupted. “Apparently, they were beamed directly from the shuttle to the hotel,” the crewman added. ‘Great,’ Rick thought. “Fine,” Rick said. “They deserve a break. I should be able to take care of things on this end. After all, the problems are not with our engines and sensors.” “Yes, sir,” the crewman said. “Why don’t you take some time off as well,” Rick said. “Yes, sir!,” the crewman said with a smile as he turned and left. Rick went to his office and sat at his desk. He pulled up the computer screen on his desk and leaned back in his chair. “Computer, give me every piece of information you have related to dampening fields,” Rick said, hoping that his hunch was right.
