The doors to the Bridge open, and Roger made his way inside. He noticed the Captain sitting in her seat and made his way over. He hadn’t spent too much time on the Bridge, just the occasional late night shift at the Bridge science station whenever he was assigned to it.

“You called for me Captain?” Roger asked curiously, looking around. It felt a bit as though everyone was looking at him, but he knew that was silly. Everyone was clearly working on their own tasks on the Bridge. His eyes shifted back to the Captain, awaiting her response.

-Lt jg Roger Ferguson, Sci

Ari smiled as Fergeson arrived. “Ahhh… very prompt, a good sign in a Lieutenant,” she said smiling and nodded to the seat beside her. “Have a seat. It won’t take long but is certainly less embarrassing than standing there.”

Once the man had seated, she turned to him. “The previous Science Chief has been called away with shuttle that came to fetch Commander Millet. And while I do not have the proper items and venue for doing such a thing, it’s been logged into the ship logs. As of right now, you are the new Science Chief and hereby promoted, as well, to the rank of Lieutenant. You will have all the rights and privileges of your rank as of now. But I will have to ask we hold off the celebration till we are done with the current assignment. Right now we need those new sensor pods to give us as much information as we can about where we are and what’s around us, without straying so far out as to alert anyone out here we may not be aware of.” She glanced at the viewscreen, with its look of the nebula and sighed. “You were not at the briefing, so I will give you the quickest rendition I can. We are out here to discover why this nebula is so unique. And we are also to keep an eye out for possible 21st Century transports that may have cryo chambers of augmented humans on board.” She looked at him to see if he understood the gravity of the situation. We must be very careful. There is a chance they are here for the special properties of the nebula. And if they are, we cannot be certain they still sleep. So caution must be our first priority. Do you understand?” She laughed lightly as she shook her head. “It’s a lot to take in, I know.”

Roger found himself beaming like a child. He couldn’t help feeling proud that he had been recommended for the position. He’d always been a hard worker and it was a great feeling knowing that all the work had been appreciated.

“Thank you Captain,” Roger said. “I will do my best”

Fleet continued to give careful eye to the helm, but he did give a hearty thumbs-up to Ferguson in congratulations for the promotion.

Fleet, Helm

Roger looked over at Kenneth and beamed, returning the thumbs up. Then looking back over towards the Captain, he slowly lowered his hand, returning to a more serious expression.

“I’ve been informed that the sensor pods have all been installed and are operating,” Roger said. “If I may, I can monitor the data from the main science station here on the Bridge.” He paused. “Is there any more information on these augmented humans in the database I could familiarize myself with?”

-Roger Ferguson, newly appointed CSO

Ari smiled as they murmurs of congratulations and nods passed around the bridge. “I think you should return to the Science Bay, at least for a bit. Your fellow crewman need to be informed of the change of command and why Barr is no longer with us. Once everything is settled, by all means, join us back on the bridge.” She smiled and nodded knowing that being on the bridge in the thick of things, was where more department heads preferred to be. But right now, keeping structure and making sure no one was misunderstanding what had occurred was more important. When things happened, and they would, it would happen quickly. And the chain of command was something imperative at such moments.

“And information about the augmented humans, or as much as we know, are in the mission briefs you now have access to. It isn’t much. Just that we definitely don’t want to wake them and let them know we are here. Or this may be one of the shortest missions of the ship.” She tried to laugh and keep it light, but the look on her face was anything but merry.

With the Intel Officer so engrossed in whatever he was working on, Prescott took up the other console beside him and was looking at the code as well. She was sure he knew what it was about, but she was curious if she could figure it out for herself. Wasn’t he always testing her to ‘know more’ and ‘be better’. Now was her chance. Perhaps she could figure it out as well.

Roger smiled and nodded. “Of course, Captain. Wonderful idea. I’m honored to take on this new position and I promise I will do my best.” He stood. “I’m just a call away if you need me.” He said, grinning. Then he turned and made his way back to the turbolift.

-Roger Ferguson, CSO

Isaac was watching the reading on his Consol Consol keeping an eye out for anything out of place. He then looked up and around the Bridge bridge then he lean back and stretched his back out intill he felt a relaxing pop “ah that’s better”

Lt. Sanks was still at his console trying to figure out what the morse code was saying. He didn’t want to get the translation wrong, but also wanted to know why someone was using such an old way to communicate.
Lt. Sanks, Linguist

Baumann watched the morse code on the display, and gritted his teeth as the Captain discussed the augments. He had hoped to keep that information out of the gossip mill unless it was absolutely necessary to disclose it to the crew… as in only if they found the vessels. Sighing, he focused on the display and waited for a translation.

Baumann, Intel

Fleet waved at Sanks. “Hey, Rog., send me the Morse Code. Me and my sis used to send each-other Morse Code messages all the time when we were kids and I’m really quick at decoding the stuff. Plus, right now the helming is pretty chill.” He winked.

Fleet, Helm and part-time morse-encoder

Elizabeth frowned slightly to herself. How was it so many others ‘grew up’ with something so archaic? Was she the only one on the bridge who knew of but knew nothing about Morse Code?

Baumann looked over at Fleet and said “Precautions must be taken, Mr. Fleet. The computer will give us a solution soon enough and that will be reviewed by Lt. Prescott and myself before we send it on. I would like to ask for your assistance if we need to send a message back, however.”
