				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.coldnorth.com/owen/game/startrek/challenger/federation/voyager_bridge.jpg)</div>The primary Bridge configuration is a proven design, being adopted by later vessels, such as Defiant-class starships. The Captain's Chair, Tactical, Operations, and Engineering are on a raised area of the bridge. The central area of the Main Bridge provides seating and information displays for the Captain. The Captain's seat is equipped with fully programmable consoles for a variety of uses.<br><br>The Tactical/Security control station (comprised of two consoles, one for tactical, and one for security functions) is to the left of the Captain's Chair. Tactical console access is extremely limited; only Level 4 Tactical clearance personnel can use it, and the user must input special codes to even get access to the massive amounts of computer links that give tactical nearly limitless information. For full access, the console's security subsystem can run a battery of scans on the user, including thermal, biological, retinal, and vocal tests. If all of these are passed, full access to the ship's offensive and defensive systems is made available.<br><br>To the Captain's right is the Operations manager's console. Identical in size and design to the Tactical/Security station, the Operations manager is located closer to the bridge engineering station rather than close to the front of the bridge. The Operations Panel, due to the tremendous amount of sensitive information found there, has security protocols as stringent as the TAC consoles. Directly aft of the Ship Operations Console is the Mission Operations Console, for use during Away team missions.<br><br>Also located on the platform, against the aft wall of the bridge, is a large master systems display monitor, similar to the one in main engineering. All relative ship information (such as damage, power distribution, etc.) is displayed on the cutaway image of the ship. Below the MSD is a large engineering console encompassing Eng I and Eng II. This console has a smaller cutaway diagram of the ship, which displays all engineering-relevant data and shows warp fields and engine output. This console also has priority links to the computers, the Warp Propulsion System (WPS), the Impulse Propulsion System (IPS), Reaction Control System thrusters (RCS), the Structural Integrity Field (SIF), the Inertial Damping Field (IDF), and the navigational deflectors.<br><br>Although usually unattended, the Chief Engineer can bring these consoles to full Enable mode by entering voice codes and undergoing a retinal scan. The Engineering II console is fully programmable, and can run any Secondary Console function, including Sciences, Medical, Operations, Limited Helm control, or Security.<br><br>Directly fore of the command area is the Flight Control Officer, who faces the main viewer. The FCO is equipped with a console that proceeds around an almost one hundred and eighty degree angle and has priority links to the navigational sensor and deflectors, as well as to the Warp/Impulse/Thruster propulsion systems. This console also has links to engineering controls and monitors (such as the SIF, IDF, hull integrity monitor, and structural stress monitors), as well as access to the tractor beam controls.<br><br>At the very front of the bridge chamber is a large viewscreen. It performs all functions expected of it, including communication and magnified visual scans of nearby objects.<br><br>Against the port walls of the main bridge, forward of the raised command section, are the consoles for Science and others that are programmable for a multitude of functions. There are two Science consoles. Science I, which is the primary science console, has priority links to the Main Computer and to all sensors and probes, as well as links to Flight Control, Operations, and Tactical.<br><br>Science II is the ASO's (Assistant Science Officer's) console, but can be used by any personnel. Science II has access to all science, navigational, sensor, and communications systems. Science II can be configured to operate in tandem with Science I, although security links and all other non-science data are withheld from Science II. Science II usually works independently of Science I.<br><br>Against the starboard wall of the main bridge, forward of the Captain's chair, is the Executive officer's console. This console has priority links to almost all ships functions as well as the hand-input sub-console for use in setting the auto-destruct system.&nbsp; The auto-destruct sequence follows Standard Starfleet security procedures which can be accessed via any secured Memory Alpha ODN connection.<br><br>There are two turbolifts on the bridge that can handle normal transit around the ship as well as an emergency ladder that connects the bridge to Deck two. There is also one door, to the rear of the raised section, which leads to the Captain's Ready Room, which is directly aft of the Main Bridge.<br><br>There are no escape pods connected to the bridge. Pods are located on decks three through six. Two pods are reserved for the top four officers in the chain of command on the ship, because they are the last four to leave the ship. These are located on deck three. As the number of experienced Captains dwindles in Starfleet, the notion of a Captain going down with his ship has been abolished. If the ship is abandoned, the top four officers in the chain of command will wait until everyone else is off the ship, opt to arm the auto-destruct (not always necessary, but there if needed), and then leave in the two escape pods.

It was doctors; the lot of em. She wasn't and never had been comfortable around medical staff especially without her sister. When the lift slid open and she stepped out onto the bridge it was with a deep breath of relief. <br>The fine angles and open lay out was common from the simulations she'd taken part of through her academy training. It was the first time she could actually touch the rail she felt beneath her fingers as Veyea walked around the round command deck. The artificial light gleamed off the tight not of her red hair heightening the near crimson hues and her blue eyes gleamed with appreciation. There was something...welcoming about feeling the metal beneath her fingers and seeing the consoles alive with information. Almost like the Redemotion smiled at her and Veyeas lips curved in return. <br><br>Her thoughts and acquaintance with the bridge were interrupted by the familiar female robotic voice of the federations&nbsp; computer program. <strong>Authorization Level 6 active.&nbsp; Lieutenant Kavash Teel</strong> Coming almost full circle to her little corner of operations Veyea was surprise to see one of the two Trill she'd known were a part of the crew. That's when it struck her this was her first time meeting a joined Trill; not that she'd met many of the species to date. However the few she had met had been intelligent, perceptive and please not to be around although unjoined. There was no reason to believe this male would be any different despite being somehow himself and many others. How that whole process worked had always intrigued Veyea but she was far too professional outside of her relationship with Maddie to ever look into the Joining. <br><br>Veyea smiled easily although she did incline her head so long bangs curved against the right side of her face hid more of the long scar she hated. "Oh Hello, Lieutenant Teel. It's good to see you're as thorough as I. Early Bird gets the worm they say on Earth; not that I've spent much time there." <br><br>Veyea was right away once more intrigued by a Trills spots as she had been every time she'd come across them; male or female. There was something beautiful and unique about each spot on each Trill that had Veyea wanting her sketchbook. Here though was not the place to think about this handsome strangers spots. In fact Veyea berated herself inside for even thinking about the markings at all hoping her blue eyes had not lingered as much as her mind had. With a stiffening posture she gave a smile of the same stiffness and offered her hand in human greeting. <br><br>"Forgive me, Lt. Commander Fontaine. I'm glad you're here; I was about to confirm all the implaments I asked to be added to the Redemption's weapons array subroutines. Since you've started pre-ops could you please confirm the array output has been increased by 0.6 percent?" she hesitated then Veyea's eyes flickering for the briefest moment. It was something between uncertainty and regret before she straightend after releasing his&nbsp; hand. "Unless I have interrupted a pre flight routines&nbsp; of yours, Lieutenant. I have not been a part of such a large crew before; I forget others might have their own duties they attend to." <br><br>&nbsp;After seeing what can lay in wait out there Veyea was anxious to know if their weapons had been modified. If Maddie hadn't been so excited to hear about the recruiting for the Redemption Veyea would have been happy taking care of Operations on their small out of the way medical bay. Even if the Romulans were causing trouble out there. At least she knew them; Maddie assured her the Redemption could take care of any rogue Romulan vessels they cane across but Veyea was still apprehensive about space travel. <br>Still her love for her sister outweighed any self need she had and Veyea surged through her unease. So there she stood in a post that was comfortable on a new ship surrounded by new people. As long as she could stay focused on her work and avoid sock bay then Veyea didn't see herself hating her time there. Veyea just had to keep a smile of her face and lead her team with a friendly demeanor. Looking at the Trill man before her she didn't see being friendly as an issue.

Kavash was not hard to look at besides the intriguing Trill spots; his dark hair&nbsp; having a slight stubborn curl to it and dark eyes warm in his handsome face. Nodding as he assured her about the Redemption's weapons capabilities she smiled and it brightened her face her a dimple dipping her right cheek just off the corner of her lips. It was another difference between her and Maddie and a result of how the scar had healed. "I'm glad to hear it although I am more than hoping we have no need of the weapons systems." <br><br>Veyeas brows rose and she shook her head slightly hands clasping behind her. "Not at all, Lieutenant. I prefer to lead from afar. Officers learn more without superiors checking their every move because mistakes make us who we are" she paused then pushing her lips for a moment before laughing. "That's not to say I won't be watching our less experienced crewmates closely." <br><br>Veyea shrugged a shoulder her blue eyes taking on a note of guilt as she spoke "I am more than confident in your abilities, being a joined Trill with such extensive starship experience to many of those aboard the Redemption.<br>."

Kavash added understanding his superior's acceptance that the combination of Kavash and Teel tended to make the whole a much more effective officer.&nbsp; <br><br>"So how do you like our girl?&nbsp; Have you had a chance to look around much?"&nbsp; Kavash asked, pressing a button to lock the console before moving around to be in a more personal space with the Lt Commander.

Her smile didn't slip but for that brief moment something shadowed her blue eyes before slipping away. <br>When he moved she watched and found herself comfortable as Kavash Teel drew closer. Normally she would have stepped back to leave more than needed room between her and others whom were not her sister. With the Lieutenant she stood her grind and found herself almost comfortable. <br><br>When he asked if she'd gotten to look around Veyea burst into a laugh because she and Maddie had been sneaking on board for days. One second,&nbsp; two she regained herself quickly a hand going to her mouth to stiffly her smile before she cleared her throat. "I apologize for that. Yes, Lieutenant Teel I have indeed looked around. My sister...likes to know where she is stationed by heart. I am excited to test out her warp 8 capability and Angels Rest has a great atmosphere. My living quarters are spacious which is a change indeed! Least to say; there's very little I don't know and like about our gal. " <br><br>Again her casual shrug as her hand replaced itsself at her back with the other. "As the Chief of Operations I suppose that's not a bad thing altough my sleep did suffer because of my sister's excitement." her smile returned and she made sure position herself so if Kavash Teel had other duties he wished to do instead of speaking he could take his leave of her. Though Veyea was happy to have met at least one member of her team; to find him a handsome friendly joined Trill with great experience she didn't have to manage really either? That was all one big bonus Veyea couldn't wait to tell Maddie about. <br><br>"What about you?" she asked inquisitive blue eyes watching his reaction to her next question hoping he read the intent behind it. Kavash was Kavash but Maddie knew he was also Teel. Had they been joined long? Did they conflict?&nbsp; Veyea knew only that his symbiot hadn't been joined in the true Trill way but in a time of Crisis. That was only because Maddie was nosey. Veyea was curious how Kavash Teel was as a whole and hopes it showed. "What are your feelings about the Redemption, Lieutenant?"

Before the Redemption here I had only been abroad transports. Once I did get to participate in an away mission to assist a Klingon crew on a Vor'Cha Class Cruiser for a few months. That was a very exciting time." Veyeah smiled that dimple near her scar dipping again. <br><br>When Kavash nodded to Lt Commander Rim Tibbetts Veyea turned and also offered a nod of greeting though her smile fell only enough to hide the dimple. Blue eyes were quick to take in the Catian Lieutenant Commander and found him; adorable. Veyea chided herself and implement exerted her hand in greeting to the science officer. "Lt. Commander Tibbetts, it's is a pleasure to meet you. Lt. Commander Fontaine and this is Lieutenant Kavah Teel. I am happy to be working with you both. The crew is so eager and well prepared things will go smoothly with us all in sync like this. Operations are all a go now, we just have need of our Captain." <br><br>Veyea stepped slightly away from both males suddenly feeling crowded; nothing to do with either crewmen. Veyea had not been comfortable without her sister since their ambush. It was slowly dawning on the human woman that this journey was going to test her all over again. Just as her early years in the academy when she'd fallen behind in combat skills and found her mentality superior to most outside her sister. This was different,&nbsp; being a physical reaction again a need to distance herself. Whether it was due to her own inward self conflict or an emotion distance incase&nbsp; of disaster Veyea was sure she would have to make that trip to deck 4 to find out. <br>Outwardly there was little to no sign of the unease coursing through the short curvy woman before them. Kindness reflected in her face as much as professionalism.&nbsp; The way she held herself as her hand had slipped from Tibbetts paw just as before, straight with her hands clasped at her back. "This being my first extended stay on a Starship has me rather excited to being the journey. What about you fine officers?"

"I am very pleased to meet you, Lieutenant Commander.&nbsp; I met the lieutenant at the dock," &nbsp;Tibbetts said, his voice a virtual purr.&nbsp; "And it's Lieutenant Commander Rim.&nbsp; Like the Bajorans, the family name comes first.&nbsp; No offense is taken, so there is no need for embarrassment."<br><br>He smiled.&nbsp; He'd learned to do so without showing teeth, something most humans considered a threat.&nbsp; Small wonder, considering the damage his fangs were capable of doing.&nbsp; "I was on the USS Kharjo for the past several years, so this won't be my first shipboard posting.&nbsp; It will be my first voyage as chief science officer.&nbsp; I'm looking forward to it.&nbsp; So many new people.&nbsp; So many new places.&nbsp; The Kharjo was a purely science vessel.&nbsp; The Redemption is something completely different.&nbsp; I'm eager to see what she can do."&nbsp; The Kharjo had also been a home, her crew a family.&nbsp; How long would it take for the crew of the Redemption to reach that point?&nbsp; Would they ever?&nbsp; It was too soon to tell but the signs were promising.<br><br><br>He could smell her discomfort but none showed on her face.&nbsp; Even better.&nbsp; He was beginning to like this warrior of a woman, who refused to allow her discomfort to breach her determination to remain professional.&nbsp; He had slightly greater freedom of expression; not only was he in the sciences, a field whose discipline was more mental than physical but he was also an alien to the majority of the crew.&nbsp; Few of them would be able to read more than his most obvious expressions, without a lot of practice.&nbsp; With time, they would find him an open book, easily read.&nbsp; For the moment, he could relax, knowing that they were going to miss the small tells that would give away what he was feeling.&nbsp; Teel would probably know that he was excited and found Veyea's hair and scar fascinating.&nbsp; Then again, he found the hair of most species fascinating.&nbsp; <br><br>He inhaled deeply, drawing her scent into his nostrils.&nbsp; It was useful that most females wore their hair longer than males.&nbsp; You could learn so much from the scents that clung to that luxurious growth.&nbsp; It was unlike fur on so many ways.&nbsp; How could he not be fascinated by it?&nbsp; With luck he'd get a chance to get closer, giving him access to those lustrous locks.

Lips parted to apologize but at the catians immediate insistence there was no need lips pressed into a tight line. That line and the brief moment Veyea's blue eyes cast downward before returning to the stunning glacier gaze of the Chief Science Officer being her only tell at the embarrassment which would have heated anothers face. <br><br>"I will admit yourself being the first Catian I have had the pleasure of meeting. I shall research more on your culture to avoid future faux paux." that's when her eyes did widen and she hid her utter personal loathing in a light laugh hoping no color rushed her cheeks.&nbsp; She swept her hand down her arms from elbow to wrist and shrugged. "No pun intended. I'll admit now gentlemen, after too many years on the edge of occupied space my social skills are lacking." <br><br>Vera cleaned her that and gave a slight shrug her eyes shifting downward. "My sister advised me yesterday to make use of Angels Rest and develop these sad skills of mine." Vera said inadvertently admitting she and Maddie had sneaked aboard before official board authorization. She laughed softly at herself hiding her complete embarrassment behind humor.&nbsp; "Until such a time I'll simply apologize in advance. My runaway mouth is one more thing I <em>do</em> have identical to my twin."<br><br>Vera smiled then and to both men she asked once more standing in her signature attention pose. It made her feel taller and stemmed from being shorter than Maddie. It also pulled her star fleet uniform taunt across the lush curves of her body Another feature the human did not like as Maddie was slime and lithe but the black of her uniform made her feel more comfortable than another color would have. It was just time with Vera that color in star fleet was minimal. She'd rather be a shadow any day of the week. To pull her mind from how uneasy she was feeling and to try to open up to knowing her crewmates she asked both men; <br><br>"Have either of you explored much of the Redemption? She is a sleek beauty I find her design very appealing. Angels Rest has a very nice atmosphere."

Veyea was being friendly but kept her distance and met the eyes of the two met but shadowed her intense discomfort with humor and a passion for learning.

Then duty would call above any socializing even if she did find herself enjoying the company of the two humanoids before her. Duty Veyea knew; people she did not.

Un'lar looked about the small group assembled in the Bridge with a nod. "Lt.Cdr. Tibbetts, Fontaine. Lt. Teel." He said... reciting their names from memory. What his purpose was in doing so was hidden behind his face, showing nothing. He walked out of the Turbolift, and unlaced his arm from the Counselor's, allowing her to make her own introductions. "I am Lt.Cdr. Un'lar Adaal, this Vessels Chief Medical Officer." Un'lar knew their names and faces, but didn't expect them to perform similar feats of memory. This was not his first time on the Bridge of a Vessel. But it was his first time as anything more then a passenger. The Bridge would not be his home, of course. If he had duties here, something would be markedly wrong. But still... it was different experience.<br><br>"We are just taking a quick peek before the Vessel gets underway, so we won't be underfoot." Un'lar said, stepping off to one side... simply looking about. He didn't move to close to Teel. While he did not know if the Lt. had issues with Cardassian's for certain, Trill were generally slow to overcome trauma like that. Joined especially so. When both shared, it reinforced the experience for both. While the Lt. would have to get over it eventually, it would be better to provide him before forcing the issue.

The last bits of their conversation was tailed by entering onto the bridge. The Orion muni was properly escorted by the Cardassian doctor, their casual discussion over the image that her kind presented being less than even the regard that Cardassian received seeming more like friendly banter than anything. He was reverting back to her serious and intimidating behavior, so Geshinaa reverted to her warm and beaming one.<br><br>"Hello, everyone," the counselor's voice was warmer than honeyed wine in summertime, her smile just as inviting. The doctor recited every name and rank, unlacing their arms. She laughed lightly and shook her citrine hair, putting a hand on her hip. "Yes, I am Counselor Geshinaa Nollad," she added with a wink, "Call me Counselor, Commander or Miss Geshinaa, but anyone calls me plain old 'Nollad' and you'll get a personal scolding, ya hear?" Her kind were rather infamous for their adaptations of human pop culture, but the added 'southern belle' feature was one of her personal favorites. She even teased her voluminous hair to get more of the effect of a starlet's bouffant.<br><br>The captain wasn't here yet, but the counselor had her reasons for the teasing informality. While the Doctor could be all ranks and formalities when they hadn't even set off yet, she valued this more for the opportunity it was: socializing with everyone and building comfortable relations with them. It was her line of work after all. And she was pretty good at it, if she did say so herself. She looked from the Joined Teel (oooh one she wanted to wheedle a session or five out of) and the Caitian (oooh that one too!) and then at the human female. Geshinaa was practically a sunray bursting with excitement. <br><br>If she wasn't afore said professional, she would be wiggling in delight.

Arm in arm a joined front and she felt unease return as they neared. Un'lar addressed her and Veyea simply nodded with the barest lift of her lips. <br>Blue eyes fell dark and she tilted her head to hide more of her scar when they got closer. As the Counselor set the crew present straight about how to address her Veyea's unease grew. The female was stunning and her flawless skin in that lovely green with her shimmering hair was as alluring as her voice was lightening. <br><br>Yet Veyea did not feel comfortable around the Counselor not because of her intimidating loveliness; but simply her profession. It was the same with the Doctor; Veyea shifted herself slightly to the side as they approached her from behind to join the group. Seeing Un'lar was a Cardassian was not what made Veyea stiffen but rather the color across his uniform. <br><br>As their introduction finished with Geshinaas teasing tone Veyea with her stiff smile gave a slight nod to the two her own soft much softer than it had been a moment before. "Doctor, Counselor pleased to meet you." <br><br>Looking to Teel and Tibbetts with her lips curving a tad more into a friendly smile though Veyea still held herself stiff even while trying not to. "Lieutenant Commander Rim, Lieutenant Teel conversing has been pleasent and I look forward to more in the future." <br><br>To the group as she stepped back with a slight bow of her head, the action purely professional. "Excuse me while I attend to a few things in Operations. I look forward to serving with you as the Redemption takes her maiden voyage. If any of you discover any issues I can help with just call." <br><br>With that the redhead turned on her heel and strode away her shoulders falling as her arms relaxed to her sides. Taking a deep breath feeling her insides squirm with her uneasiness Veyea walked to the Operations Panel. <br>Sitting there her fingers flew over the console bringing it to life with information. There was nothing to check; she'd simply wanted to exit the group conversation. Having frozen on Deck 4 such a short time ago Veyea wasn't going to flee the bridge. However she wasn't prepared to face any medical personnel let alone the Redemption's Doctor and Counselor both at once. While she had been cleared for duty, Veyea had been ordered to visit the Counselor and Doctor both by the Doctor on the Spaceport.&nbsp; With how many doctors she'd been around since the transport destruction Veyea simply wasn't comfortable around medical professionals anymore. Not that she ever had been.

Rim Tibbets, Lt.Cdr. Veyea Fontaine, Lt. Kavash Teel<br><br>Ah, it appeared the Doctor's assessment on how everyone would react was most accurate. His little joke had turned out to be entirely factual based. Well, she conceded to him, but she wasn't very surprised. After all not only were the two of the least liked species (apparently in his slightly joking opinion, hers even more so than his own) but they were also a doctor and a counselor. Two of the most subconsciously feared people of position on board. Or so it seemed anyway. It was sort of like having the irrational fear of going to a dentist though. It always seemed worse in the beginning. <br><br>"'And the <em>un'dah'mey</em> disperse with the wind, scattering like deer before a wolf'," she murmured the quote to herself with wry humor. Never the less, everyone was making hasty get aways. Geshinaa laughed softly under her breath, raising a brow. The Joined Trill she could handle later, since it appeared most of this discomfort with that one lay when he spotted Doctor Adaal. He was getting off easy today, by the ever benevolent fact that the counselor had bigger fish to fry. Though it was unfortunate. He had a cute lost and tormented <em>pushalna</em> look to him. Like an Earth puppy. The Caitian was also most unfortunately not at the top of her list either, though she'd get the feline somehow too. Probably corner him too, if she was to judge the difficulty level on how everyone else was reacting. Poor darlings. The kiddos didn't realize how determined she was.<br><br>So that left the human female, Veyea Fontaine. Looking to Doctor Adaal she gave him a conspirator's wink, as if giving him the heads up that he was on his own. She was most certain he could take care of himself, though he was a fun companion. They would certainly have to play a game of 3d chess sometime. It would be a true battle, no doubt. Giving him a small wave, she crossed over to the human lieutenant commander, hands before her back and head craned a bit in curiosity. <br><br>"Are you planning on running away from me too, Lt. Commander?" she spoke softly, with a bit of her warm smile still on her face, "I had hoped we get your appointment scheduled. Sooner, rather than later, that is."

Kavash Teel, Counselor Geshinaa Nollad<br><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong><br><br>Veyeas fingers froze on the console and she struggled not to visibly stiffen as the Counselor approached her. At first she said nothing slowly removing her hands from the console. Sliding a professional smile into place and pulling on her most common facade Veyea stood and gave Geshinaa a small shake of her head. "Not at all, Counselor. There is just much to be done to make sure the Redemption is ready for her flight." <br><br>It was a lie, and one she hid well not even giving a tell on a molecular level. Veyea was firm in her mask of duty and managed to give the counselor a small apologetic smile for a brief moment. "I am aware you may have been advised I need an appointment; this is a misconception. I will not refuse should you wish to see me, Counselor however my duty to the Redemption and her crew come first so it may be a while before I can take the time to visit your office." <br><br>Veyea pressed her lips together trying to focus on keeping herself calm. Hands ached to curl into fists but she kept them relaxed at her side. Veyea wanted to shift her weight but kept herself still and the slight smile on her face. While not wanting to put the stunning Orion counselor off; Veyea firmly believed she could handle her emotions on her own. Maddie and her star fleet doctor father disagreed and had seen the request Veyea be seen put up the chain of command. Was she capable of completing her duties? Yes as she had always found solace in work; she just refused to believe she needed help.

The commander having occupied herself with an array of prelaunch duties from operations checks and double checking crew postings to ensuring their proper load out and stock of torpedoes, deuterium, and the like. She had walked stem to stern of the ship once she had left. Blinking as she scanned across the crew before gliding across to sink into her side-placed seat next to the captain's chair, pulling the swinging panel console up to tap and access. Double and triple checking everything between her pad and the ship's computer. "It seems we are just about ready." She remarked to herself more than anyone before setting the pad aside and sliding back to her feet to look over the bridge crew and others that had made their way aboard. Smiling calmly, certainly there was no urgency in the matter, they didn't even seem to have their captain yet!<br><br>She would slide around to patiently stand behind the others. Stiffly at attention as her eyes wandered back and forth and her ears flicked every so often. "I hope everyone is getting along well." She hummed with a smile. "I believe all we are waiting for is our captain." She said with a nod as she reached up to drag a few strings of hair from her face. "But in the interim, has everyone had the chance to familiarize yourselves with the layout of the ship?" She asked with a glowing grin before her hands swung back behind herself.

Tibbetts certainly didn't.&nbsp; He would treat the doctor as crew (and therefore potentially family) until instructed otherwise.&nbsp; He'd get his chance to sniff the alien at some point and would draw his own conclusions and form his own opinions of Un'lar as a person.&nbsp; In the meantime, he had a mental tick up on the doctor, just as he did on Veyea.<br>.<br>His sharp ears picked up the half Orion's comment.&nbsp; His blue eyes focused on her and the grin spread, not just because of her lush head of hair.&nbsp; "You may find me more wolf than deer," he said.&nbsp; "Assuming I understand the analogy.&nbsp; And what exactly is involved in a personal scolding?" There was the slightest hint of a growl in his normally purring voice although his expression made it clear that there was no threat intended, just a little emphasis.&nbsp; <br><br>He would have said more but the door hissed open and the First Officer stepped onto the bridge.&nbsp; She didn't even come to his chin.&nbsp; He tried not to smirk.&nbsp; A different species, she was still feline and it was likely that many of the crew would assume they were the same but to him and to her, the differences were obvious.&nbsp; She had far less fur (a fact that, as always, fascinated him) and her features were far more human.&nbsp; "Only my duty station, Commander," Tibbetts said, straightening to attention.&nbsp; "Science station is manned and ready.&nbsp; Sensors are online and reading within expected parameters.&nbsp; I have been offered a tour, which I fully intend to follow up on."<br><br>

It was better to be amused with the correctness of his predictions. He couldn't see in their heads, but he could read Teel fairly easily. He would have to talk to the Counselor... and potentially contact the Joining Commission. This situation needed to be addressed head on.<br><br>The Operations Officer was a much more interesting puzzle. Her condition was the responsibility of the Romulans, not his species. And her discomfort wasn't limited to him. The counselor was the subject of it as well. He was aware she had been ordered to visit him as well as the Counselor, but he hadn't expected such a strong reaction to it. Refusing to appear was worse, and Un'lar had to stop that immediately. "Of course, Lt.Cdr. The Counselor and I will schedule you a time tomorrow, after your duty shift. You can take care of your visits at the same time." His voice has a ring of finality in it. In matters like this, the Captain could not even pull rank on the Chief Medical Officer.<br><br>The thing that threw him the most was his slip up with the LCdr. While his memory was infallible, his attention was not. He'd slipped up, to focused on the others and something close to embarrassment passed over his features for a moment... then vanished. Locked behind a gracious nod. "I appreciate your graciousness, LCdr. Rim, and apologize for the oversight. It will not occur again." The matter of Bajorans was marked, but went uncommented on. He wasn't the only one who made assumptions.<br><br>As the Commander appeared on deck, Un'lar adopted attention as well. "I have scheduled a briefing with Medical staff at 0800 to go over duty assignments, including holodeck drills in onboard and off ship environments." His voice was clear, already having planned those out quite some time.

Rim Tibbets, Lt.Cdr. Veyea Fontaine, Lt. Kavash Teel<br><br>The Catian Commander tried to distract her with all his uptick on hearing what he ought not of. Wolf indeed. He was a kitten, all fuzzy and cute, and she wouldn’t be fooled. He could pass his tender growls at her all he liked, but it would take a lot more convincing for her to find him wolfish. Not with that playful grin he had kept shining at everyone. Normally she would accept the invitation to banter, but she had to focus. So all she did was give him a subtle wink and try to focus on the situation at hand. Mister Distracting, down boy. <br><br>Geshinaa watched carefully, as if Veyeas were a skittish feline that must be given space, less it feel cornered and lash out. No matter how much of a façade she presented, the counselor wasn’t buying it. If the higher ups had ordered it, then it was far more pressing than any appearance could present. And she was well trained in looking past surfaces. Not to mention she had a bit of a trick up her sleeve, given her race. While she wasn’t as in tune as a full-blooded Orion, she could <em>feel</em> other people’s emotions when focusing. It was like extra strong empathy. Had she been full Orion, she might have been able to get a bit more, but in her line of work, emotions were all she needed. Standing face to face with Veyea, Geshinaa decided to take a closer look.<br><br>Feelings of extreme discomfort directed at Geshinaa and the doctor. Fear that board-lined functionality, the human female was clearly not ‘alright’. Extremely not ‘alright’. It felt almost like a form of post-trauma, the intense fear, the phantom flood of drowning in ice water feeling making the counselor resist the intense urge to shudder and curl in on herself. Slipping out of the human’s intense emotions just as silently as she had slipped in, she kept her body language relaxed and open. But the smile on her face was laced with a counselor’s distant concern.<br><br>Whatever was bothering the human female, it went far beyond and far deeper than she presented. Hands still behind her back, her knuckles turned white. "I must insist that we schedule soon,” she let her voice gently caress the insisting words, "While your duty of position is to the ship and her crew, this also includes you well being.” She tipped her head to the side, trying to implore the other woman to see reason without pushing too hard. <br><br>The door to the bridge opened once more and her eyes flickered over to the new comer. Second in Command. The counselor managed a bit more of smile towards the commander, not wanting to impress that anything could be desperately wrong, since she didn’t want to embarrass Veyea. Lt. Commander Rim made for a good distraction for the Second though. Not…that there was anything that would ever be hidden from the Second, of course. But humans had delicate egos… She didn’t want to worsen the female emotional state by making uncomfortable <em>and</em> embarrassed.<br><br>Doctor Adaal stepped in and Geshinaa had the urge to pinch or nudge him somewhere gently. Men. So pushy sometimes. But leave it to Father to supersede Mother and demand the unruly Child to heel. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. It would have been all with affection of course. The Doctor was growing on her rather quickly. With a small incredulous shake of her head and gave him a look, before turning her attend back on the Lt. Commander. Geshinaa didn’t want to push, considering the thin as fragile glass emotional state she sensed in just her brief ‘glance’, but the doctor was right: this couldn’t be ignored or put off. If the other woman couldn’t serve without harm to herself or others, they needed to know. It was top priority that every person in the crew is optimal for whatever they might face in the journey ahead. <br><br>"There is no dishonor in needing help from time to time,” she coaxed as gently as a mother comforting a stubborn child who needed a good long cry, "You don’t need to prove anything to anyone.” It was all an assumption, based on the fact that Veyea was so strongly against her and the doctor and just going in to medbay for a simple appointment. Humans were strong and pridedful, much like Orions. They were a bit more emotionally robust than most races, but that also made them a bit more… difficult to handle. They often felt uncomfortable admitting to anything being wrong emotionally or mentally. They couldn’t view it as a bruise or scratch. It was a badge of honor for them.<br><br>"But as the Doctor said, we will be anticipating you for an appearance tomorrow,” she had to delicately show that her support of Doctor Adaal assessment. While she might not agree with his blunt manner, he was correct. There was no questioning that. "We are here to support you Lt. Commander,” Geshinaa tipped her head forwards with a beseeching smile.<br>

The counselor did not seem like to was going to encroach on Veyea's duties but that Doctor Adaal certainly didn't care about any duty save his own. Made sense given an unstable or unwell officer especially in a command position could cause issues for the rest of the crew. Still Veyea already knew there was nothing the Doctor himself could do save ask her questions he already had the answers to in her file. So it was indeed the counselor she was most uncomfortable about being alone with.&nbsp; Intimidating beauty aside the female seemed to have an insight to Veyea despite her controlled&nbsp; emotions. <br><br>Those emotions still in check, barely, Veyea simply nodded sharply at both medical officers. "Of course. I will make an appearance." was all she said puppy not agreeing when she'd arrive. Giving the most polite smile she could manage Veyea gave both a nod. "Thank you for reminding me. If you'll excuse me there's an operation error at the science station on Deck 3." <br><br>Veyea strode away from the counselor and gave the Doctor a wide birth as the Commander arrived. Pulling to attention she gave a nod to her superior and the first officer of the Redemption second only to the Captain...maybe one other if the Doctor ever had to deem Marisa unfit for duty.&nbsp; <br><br>Once Tibbetts addressed the commander Veyea too nodded stiffly her hands clasping at her back. "All systems go once I check some strange readings from the science station on Deck 5, ma'am."&nbsp; Green eyes shifted to Tibbetts and she gave a soft smile hoping he would allow her an escape from the bridge much too small for two medical professionals and Veyea. "Would you like to accompany me, Lt. Commander Rim as it is a science station giving the readings? I am sure the Commander would like to see the issue resolved before the Captain arrives at the bridge?" <br><br>Veyea desperately wanted to escape the bridge but didn't want to be seen as fleeing.&nbsp; At least not alone like a coward; with Tibbetts she could hide behind her duty to the Redemption I stead of acing the lovely counselor and intimidating Doctor.
