OOC: is the spore drive something only the Discovery has or do all of the Discovery class ships have one?

IC:
As Rodier removed what were now obviously headphones and had modulated his voice Shane was mortified at his assumption. As he sat down as requested he almost missed the Lieutenants question.

“I just got here sir” he said. “It feels great to be back in space, I’m excited to get to stay out here for awhile. Being on earth has been nice but I have missed being out here a lot.”

He looked a little nervous as he asked. “What kind of action can I expect to see while I am here, I would like to prepare as best I can.”

OOC: The USS Discovery is the only ship (aside from the Glenn, which was destroyed) to have a spore drive, as far we’re aware. And in the current time, very few to no Starfleet officers would know the Discovery wasn’t actually destroyed ~100 years ago. Glad to see a fellow Disco fan :)

This is also a great time to show you about snipping, which you’ve already kind of done. When a thread gets to be too long, you may want to snip some of the posts, and leave only the few most recent ones for context. To do this, cut down the posts you want to cut, then type “<snip>” at the top to show where you cut it. But always try to leave enough posts there so someone jumping in has context, usually three or so.

Rodier put a finger to the desk and began tapping a slow, thoughtful rhythm. “Honestly, and I’d love to give you a better answer than this, but it varies. I was recently stuck in a Holodeck with a bunch of Tribbles, then the week after that I had nothing but standard patrols.”

Picking up his PADD, the Lieutenant tapped at the machine a couple times, frowned, and tapped again, finally coming to Shane’s profile. “If you have any more questions, please ask them, I’m all ears. But for now I must ask, why’d you join Starfleet? Was it just a way to get back into space?”

OOC: That is kind of what I thought but figured I would ask.

IC:
Flannaghan has many reason for wanting to join Starfleet, some of them boil down to him wanting to get back into space, he has always felt drawn to space.

“When my father’s ship was attacked during the war, we were rescued by the crew of the Raven, we had nothing at that point, my father probably woudldn’t have wanted me to join Starfleet, though it would have been mostly because he wanted me to take his place on his ship one day. I want to do what the crew of the Raven did for my mother, myself, and what remained of our crew. Be there to protect the people of the Federation when needed. I want to do what I can and I feel that Starfleet is the best place for me to do that.”

He wasn’t sure the answer he gave was what the Lt. wanted to hear but it was what he had right now. He waited with a determined look on his face for his new CO’s response.

Henry smiled, thinking back to his response to the same question in his first check-in. “Well, that’s a good reason if I’ve ever heard one. Is there any particular reason you chose the Security department? I know for some it can be a difficult decision, what fihe deld to devote yourself to.”

“The first year we were on earth I was 14. I guess I was a bit of a late bloomer. Between all the normal changes at that time adding to that that I was working much harder and eating much better then we ever did on the ship I was becoming large quickly, and very clumsy. My school suggested I take martial art to help. I enjoyed it immensely and I wanted to choose a profession where it may come in handy. While aikido may benefit in any profession I thought it may be particularly useful in security”

OOC:

Flannaghan leans more towards the tactical and intel side of security then he does being a body guard on away missions.
