===== Ready room, USS Chimera ===== After Rangi leaving, Shane had to think about duty matters again. There was something ... he knew he had forgoteen something ... something quite important. Well, it was not usual for him to forget things ... but the conversation with Rangi winded his brain totally empty. He scratched his chin to remember about teh issue ... but with little sucess. {Geeez ... someone wanted somethign from me ...} he thought. He sat himself down in one of the chairs and sinked deep in his thoughts. {Its connected with the away teams surely ...}. Scratching his head, Shane looked a bit like an appe but when his glance touched the carved long knife of Keylor's he finally remebered. {YES! Oriana ... I told Bretam ill have a word with her about a backup plan ... } A slight smile touched his lips as he sprung up like a small hare from a hedgehog. ===== Main Astrometrics, USS Chimera ===== With long paces Shane entered the science heart of the ship ... main astrometrics. Surely, this lagre room was connected with all ship's sensors and was equipped with some of the ebst computers and several unique devices and thus it was the true science HUB of all the ship. Anyone up for a guess? Yes? So ... WHERE would you search for a vulcan woman? A vulcan woman that is the Chief Science officer on the ship? Heh, right ... main astrometrics. And there was where Shane now stood and looked for the woman. Surpsinly ... she was there. Looking up from on of the many consoles she spoke up: "May I help you Commander?" Shane noded satisfied that his 'logical' implications were correct to find her here: "Yes Ensign. As you know two away teams are heading towards the station shortly. I spoke with the Colonel and we figured that we could need some sort of an emergency plan. A plan to distract the aliens in a crisis situation". She gave him a strange look with one of her eye broes raised. Shane grinned: "Well, If you follow me ... the plan is simple. When and only if the security situation will worse on the station, Colonel Bretam or I will contact you and you will be supposed to do some 'wizardry' and distract the aliens and so give us time for a retreat." Still not replying, Oriana waited patiently for the XO to finish his monologue. "Hmm" Shane was a tiny bit nervous by her calmness, "I thought about using the main deflector dish to emit a strong energy beam so a certain location on the station. That might cause the aliens to be attracted by the beam ... and that is what we need." Now was SHane's turn to gave her a strange look: "If you have an better plan ... make it to reality, but you should have something in your sleeve when we will need it ..." he finished. ===== End of log ===== LtCmdr.
