===USS Chimera, Captain Quarters ==
Keylor was sitting at his desk pouring over the many sensor a logs and
internal recordings of the exercises that had only ceased 8 hours ago.
He had returned to the ship and had 1lt Acheson guide the somewhat
defeated ship back in to high orbit around Kinsi. Once they ship had
returned to its circle, waiting for orders of their next mission, Keylor
had opened up shore leave to all that wanted it. Even on the Chimera,
most ships of the day were highly automated and only needed a skeleton
crew to keep her from falling out of the sky or crashing in to a star
base.
Now, with the base as his backdrop, Keylor started his process of
evaluating his crew and seeing how good, or bad they did. He picked up
the next padd and started reading. {Ok so they disabled the shields with
a tachyon pulse and then sent a boarding crew.} he tapped on the padd.
{Now here is a transpport to main engineering.who?} he tapped on the pad
again. The text scrolled down . {here it is. Blackburn?} Keylor frowned.
He picked up a padd he had previously looked at. {Here he is on the
bridge at the ceo station.} he then set the padd down and returned to
the other one.{ and here he is in main engineering.} Keylor sat the pad
down and scratched his head.
Keylor stood up and stretched. He was all for creative thinking and
action. But sometimes the actions of his officers seemed to puzzle him.
Pushing the two pads to one side, Keylor picked up a different pad.
Walking slowly over to the replicator in his quarters, he read the
sensor logs form the station. {Ok here the chimera and the Simpson dance
back and forth. The Simpson appears to have exploded. Chimera drops her
shields and starts scanning the area, and pop! The Simpson is actually
over here.} HE shook his head. {Well you cant blame him too much for
that. The Simpson did a good job of trying to fool Acheson. But knowing
that these were games, I would have waited for a full sensor sweep
before lowering shields.}
Keylor lowered the pad as he stood in front of the replicator. He then
tapped on the console and replicated a hot cup of coffee. He picked it
up and returned to his desk. Sitting the pad down on the desk, Keylor
set that pad aside and picked up another. Keyor sipped his coffee and
then sat back down at his desk. He started reviewing the logs on the
oda's reaction to the intruders. As he read he was a little please with
what he saw. The oda seemed to move quickly about the ship, react to the
intruders, and they only had a loss ration of 1 chimera crew to 1.5
intruder crew. {Not bad. You cant expect everyone to come out
un-touched.}
Keylor slumped down in to his chair and continued reading the internal
recordings. He focused on every recording where the new ODA co was. He
was most interested in Jack Walsh's reactions. Keylor was on the
impression that if you knew how a man fought, you could know the man
better. As he scanned through the hundreds of recordings he was about to
put the pad down and take a break when one recording caught his eye.
Keylor stop and started the recording, rewinding the data and replaying
several times. {What the.?} he thought to him self. {How could he have
mistaken him for an intruder?} HE put the pad down and thought about the
information he just reviewed. {Is he a loose cannon? I mean he had a
full 3 seconds to decided if blackburn was friend or foe? But Walsh shot
him any way.} He faced soured.
HE stood up form his desk and called out to the computer. "Computer.
Location of Jack Walsh. " The computer responded. "Jack Walsh is in
shuttle bay 1." Keylor reached down to his desk and tapped the console.
"Walsh, report to my quarters immediately!" Keylor waited a minute
before the response came back, "Aye sir."
Keylor now was pensive. He paced back and forth in front of his desk
waiting for Walsh to arrive. "I can understand personalities getting in
the way of things, but shooting some one, even in traingin is not
necessary." He muttered to him self.
