<< OOC ... there is a JL with MaiKai on the way, it happens before this log and its mentioned in this log. Have fun with both ... ;) >> ===== Shane's quarters ===== Once again, Shane was making himself ready for an away team. Again and very typical for this ship ... a dangerous one. Shane was ordered to lead one of two away teams that were going back to the station. The main objective of Shane's team was to inspect the torpedo storage room on the station, disarm all torpedoes and auxilliary to find out what interest the aliens could have on those federation torpedoes. {Nuts} Shane thought a bit sarcasticaly. Since the last mission, Shane developed an affiliation with the marine light combat armour. Light and not restricting on movement, but still quite effective against small and medium energy weapons ... very usefull on most dangerous away teams. Shane had his personal armour (in red command color of course ::grins::) in his quarters and now looked at it. {What a pitty i cant take advangate of it now!} he thought scratching his chin. He was right ... there was no point in wearing a combat armour against aliens that were only partly in our universum and which killed by touch ... not by an phaser. So ... The only non-standart part of Shane's uniform was a sturdy belt, with pockets for a tricoder, type II phaser and two reserve pockets. Again ... Shane's favourite standart type II federation phaser was of little use here ... Mr. Morgan with the support of engineering modified several type III phasers ... and both away teams were supposed to wear those. Looking once more on the roster of his away team, Shane considered every single member of the group. More then trully ... all were hand picked by Bretam for this crew and hand picked by Shane for this team ... the elite of the crew. {2LT. Thompson} was listed as the first team member. By beeing still quite new for the ODA Commander post he and Shane were not too familiar with each other. Acheson's personal data were excellent, he was among the best in his year on the SFMC Acad and the fact that Bretam himself picked him up for the ODA Comm post made him an valuable member of the crew. (LT. Steve Birt}, ODA's medical specialist. Shane noded to himself. Birt was not a man who drew too much attention on his side, but Shane could already withness that once Steve took something in his hands ... he could not rest or relax till the job was done. His quite a high rank and the commendations from his previous Superior officers made him a strong member of the ship's proud ODA. {LtJg. Mike Blackburn} Shane smiled a bit. Mike was the joker in the Engineering team. Shane had heard quite some stories about the 'wrestling' he and the CEO had over time and the comments in his personal file sounded very alike. A very important memeber in the away team, cause Mike's engineering skills could be matched by the CEO only. If there was someone who could take over in the CEO's absence ... it was Mike. {Cdt. MaiKai Quiocho} was the 4th in the roster. Shane remebered the brief conversation he had with the young cadet here earlier and the eagerness she accepted the mission. Shane knew her very little, even if he learned that MaiKai is a quite long crew member on board, but her time is only about to come. His intention was to see if she was up for some more responsibility. {and fun} He flew over the rest of the away team and noded satisfied to himself. It was a good team ... a good team assembled of good officers. It would be 'a devil inside ' if the team's goul wouldnt be achieved! Shane looked sideways at the big chrono on the wall to find out that he the teams were expected to meet in 10 minutes. The shuttle bay was Shane's destination and he moved forward in exact that direction. The point that he had to return cause he's forgotten the belt on the table was just an accident ... he was NOT nervous at all ... erm ... ===== End of log ===== LtCmdr. Shane Guzman XO USS Chimera
