Cmdr Jaav E'the= xx Ship's Counselor USS Vanguard After - Andy's Post Although not= on duty, Jaav had begun to make his way towards sickbay soon after the = first jolt to see if there was anything he could do to help. As he enter= ed the doors to sickbay he nodded at an engineering crewman who sat on t= he end of a biobed. The ensign looked a little worse-for-wear, but aside= from a small cut on his forehead he looked fine. Jaav walked towards Xr= istha, she was stood next to one of the nursing team showing her how to = recalibrate a dermaplaser. She then started to manipulate the arm of the= patient to the left of her, she didn't notice Jaav until he was stood r= ight next to her. "You look like you've got everything in hand here, I= guess you don't need any help from me." Jaav said, "We've got it cov= ered, I think there are a couple more crewmembers making there way from = engineering, they were in a jefferies tube when we hit the mines," "O= uch," was all Jaav said wincing a little. "There is something you coul= d do for me though," "Of course," Jaav answered. "The Captain was s= upposed to be resting in sickbay for a few days, I'd like you to try and= use your persuasive technique to get him back here," Jaav grinned, = "I'll try," Jaav made his way to the exit and headed for the turboli= ft, taking the long way around. Moments later he was on deck one and ste= pped out of the turbolift onto the bridge. <snip> "I wonder what she= 's doing all the way out here," Santos mused. "No clue, sir. At least,= not from these records." "Only one way to find out. Zena, please asse= mble an away team. Use the hazard suits." <snip> Santos, having hear= d the doors hiss open turned towards them once he'd finished giving orde= rs. Zena walked past Jaav and smiled at him as she entered the turbolift= and made her way to the transporter room. "Ah Counselor, what's our m= edical status?" Santos asked, "Nothing more than a few bumps and bruis= es sir, but there is one patient Dr. Droin is quite concerned about." Ja= av replied "Oh really," Santos said, slightly concerned and not quite = getting the joke. "She informs me a member of the command team dischar= ged himself from sickbay," Santos chuckled a little and rubbed his chi= n. "And I suppose she sent you hear to convince me to go back?" "So= mething like that sir, but I needed the walk," Jaav sounded slightly dis= missive, but ony because he had one eye on the viewscreen. "Is that wh= at I think it is?" Jaav asked to no-one in particular, "If you think i= t's a Saladin class, derelict starfleet vessel then yes," Highwaij answe= red wittily. "How long has it been out here like that?" Jaav asked, pe= ering at the viewscreen and moving closer to it. "We're not entirely = sure, but the archives suggest approximately a century," This time it wa= s Santos who answered, "Are there any life-signs aboard?" Jaav asked, = his curiosity personal rather than professional. "We detect no life-s= igns, although there's no way to be completely sure the readings are acc= urate, the sensor palletes are still charged with a little residual EM r= adiation from when we exited the conduit." This time it was the science-= officer who was standing in for Zena who spoke. "My grandfather was s= tationed on a Saladin class vessel, I can't remember it's name, his ship= dissappeared whilst it was on tour shortly after my father was born," = "He was in Starfleet?" Santos asked, out of polite curiosity, "No, h= e was a rather unscrupulous trader," Jaav replied, scrutinising the view= on the screen, and wondering if this could be 'that' ship.
