And like that the box popped open with a small his. When Jackson turned his back to the crowd he pushed the two halves open to reveal what looked like a filing cabinet. In the first drawer was a cushioned box that looked like a modern version of a pelican case. Carefully the station commander withdrew the box and handed it off to his second in command with a smile.

“This, cadets, is the first thing you delivered. It is a special lens component for our long range observation scanners. Not really a lens in the traditional glass sense but this piece of equipment is still referred… oh you don’t care I suppose. You engineers and scientists learned all about it in your classes I am quite sure. Now for the second part,” he explained before motioning the CO to come to the front of the room. “Open that top drawer please. I think you will like it. Or at least I like it.”

Max grunted, a lens is definitely not what any of them had expected. He wondered why it gave the scanners and transporters the readings that it had. Maybe it was in the drawer.

He watched as the Captain headed for the stage to open whatever the second part is.

Catt nodded to XO. She couldnt quite help geeling disapointed in the expose anyways. So she said.

“All the security on that thing and then they make a grand exposition in front of both crews of ship and station sir. Doesnt add up. Either starfleet intelligence wants someone looking at the Challenger or they are running a game to draw out a spy. Or sir there has been a very serious screw up. Nobody tells cadets anything important. In four years at the academy I have yet to be told why using a small mouth instrument cleansing tool to clean a waste facility is a duty rotation let alone see or hear about any advanced
He strongly suspected that whatever came out of that drawer would impress those with the technical knowledge to appreciate it. For him? He was just trying to catch up and overcome what he had felt since his first day at the medical academy was a distinct separation between the medical corps and the rest of star fleet. Still, it was nice to have a change of scenery while all of this unfolded.

“Cadet, it’s not just Cadet’s that Command doesn’t tell everything to,” Max told Catt. “It goes a long way to sometimes not question Command, because it will save you a lot of headaches.

“As for cleaning the bathroom with a toothbrush, it’s character building Cadet.”

Cmdr. Harkness - XO

Catt flicked an ear at the XO’s responce.

“I suspect that is true sir.”

She said with obvious distaste..

OOC: Just a tip, you didn’t need to drop so many lines with short sentences when posting. Just put the text in together like a complete sentence as it reads far better. Try leaving the lines like that only when you want to give someone a chance to reply in between your text (as if they are responding to it) or between paragraphs when you write more.

Now for everybody, when replying to a thread make sure you reply to the last post that was posted otherwise you cut out other peoples responses. There ‘are’ times you could split the thread as we call it, but because of the way the board handles ‘next in location’ posts it can get confusing. It’s better to just start a new thread if you ever need to do this. In short, Make sure you have the last post selected before you reply, and do not split the thread.

Also, a lesson on snipping seeing as it was the topic of discussion on our discord channel. When you snip, you leave the last say three or four posts, whichever it seems is better for other people who might need to reply. Select the rest, up to the lines that read ‘posted by’ at the very top, leave a few of those behind as a reference and delete the middle selected text. After that, drop a line, insert the word ‘Snip’ to let people you know you did it, and add your post (and sign off PROPERLY) at the bottom. Note in this post here how I have done so and feel free to try this in your own threads, we are a ship made for practicing this stuff out, better to get it wrong here and learn properly than get to the main fleet and have people roll there eyes :P. It’s also part of the graduation survey we do… so… Snip!

Now, to add myself back in, fancy deleting your Captain hehe.... makes notes

IC: Standing from his seated position to one side of the main group, Felix furrowed his brow in thought and made his way to the front and the mystery box. The Commanders words earlier still rang in his ears and he nodded to Jackson and then looked at the seated crew of the Challenger. “Well then, lets see what you transported all the way out to this neck of the woods shall we ladies and Gentlemen?” With a glance at Jackson, Felix reached forward and pulled open the drawer to reveal the next item.
