<USS Avalon> "Preparing for Duty" Cmdr Skyler

 
"Preparing for Duty"
Cmdr Skyler
 
 
Skyler was on the battle bridge waiting for her crew to arrive. Sitting in  
the command chair, she got a good view of the badlands. She knew that Phillipa  
was at the main helm control and would navigate the badlands without 
difficulty.  If she closed her eyes and just imagined the activity beyond the 
ship, 
all she  could see were the different colors.
 
She knew that this mission was not one of her favorites. She didn't like  the 
plan of sending a one man shuttle into a wormhole to detonate a bomb to  
close the wormhole, and the Avalon having to use split second timing to beam 
him  
back. There had to be a better idea, what it was she didn't know. She just 
knew  that she didn't like the possibility of messing with timelines and such. 
Once  was enough.
 
Lost in thought she didn't hear the doors open. When she looked she saw  
Lyta, Georgia, and John. The only person missing was Ensign Vevay. Hopefully 
she  
would show up soon.
 
"Lyta go ahead and take your position at helm and run the usual  
diagnostic's. I don't want to be caught dead in the water if something were to  
happen. 
John you do the same at tactical. I want to know how we are stocked for  
weapons, shields and everything else."
 
They both looked at Skyler and replied, "Yes, Ma'am." They were good and  she 
knew they would do well if anything happened. Next in line was Georgia. She  
walked over to Georgia and moved her away from the others.
 
"Georgia, with Jameson in main sickbay, I am going to rely on you to set up  
the secondary sickbay. I know that you have done it before and I have complete 
 faith in your abilities. I also can see that you are worried about me, don't 
be.  I am not going to let this mission get the best of me and we are not 
going to  get captured like last time." At least I hope not....
 
"Yes, Ms.Skyler. Is will kets to settin up the sickbay now. Jest remember  
yous is not alone. Wes gonna kit through this together. Nows dun't yous fret  
'bout nuthin."
 
Georgia gave Skyler a quick hug before leaving to set up the sickbay.  Skyler 
watched as she left and thought to herself, "Ole woman, I hope you  are 
right.'Skyler returned to the command chair and ran her own  diagnostics.
