Mike smiled with a degree of sarcasm, "wonderful day" he said, ending his personal log. He had only gained two injuries, one caused from jumped down engineering and one caused by confusion where MCpt Walsh shot him and he hit his head. Sitting down on the bed, Mike began to think. He had warned the Marine, shouted at him and was on a crutch for christs sake! How hard could it have been to realise that Mike was just an officer. This would make excellent reading for the command team, Mike would have probably recieved praise for saving the games before this, but now he just appeared an accident prone idiot. Mike would have to write an incident report at some point, and he knew how it would go already. "Computer, Lock the doors, lest those stupid marines come in and shoot me for kicks." said Mike. The computer beeped and replied in a matter-of-fact way that if the marines wished then they could enter. Mike frowned, he had checked his head over and while he was midly concust, it was nothing worth seeing a doctor about, and Mercedes would soon begin to think Mike was doing it just to see her. "Computer. Site to Site transport Blackburn 2. Engage" he said standing up, he was tired of sitting around like advised. Mike was angry at the whole wargames concept, the idea that a crewmember could be shot when not taking part was unheard of. "Seal Main Engineering" said mike as soon as he had matierialised. He tapped his commbadge. "This is the CHEIF Engineering Officer of the USS Chimera to all hands. Please note that Main Engineering will be off limits to wargaming officers, any intrusion will be considered an act of disobiedience to direct orders and I will have you arrested. Thank you for your co-operation." The engineer on duty was looking at Mike. "This is a starship, not a playground" said mike, "I am not having a bunch of trigger-happy dimwits shooting around my warpcore." Mike knew he was probably taking things too far, but how hard was it to run a tricorder to see who was around the corner. What did they teach at the Marine Corps: shoot now, think later? Mike sat at the CEO Console and worked for about an hour before someone actually came through the doors, having dared to intrude. "Sorry sir, but there is a large group of intruders, we need to use engineering as a tactical advantage." Mike had been calm for this hour, but all of a sudden his anger came surging up. "OUT" he screamed at the young marine. "ONE MORE MARINE IN MY ENGINEERING BAY AND I WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" Once the Marine had left, Mike wondered if he had been too harsh, then he called a *real* security officer and posted him just inside engineering.
