Posted by Colonel Calvin Harris (Commanding Officer) in CO’s Quarters - Main Sim
Harris had rested peacefully, thanks in part to a… energetic… visit from his other half the evening before. Cal and Molly had been together over two years and he had yet to stop feeling like a teenager around her. They had long since established a 2-3-2 schedule of sharing nights in the Captain’s Quarters that would still be respectful of their non-marital status. But their nights apart were always tough… so every once in a while, like the previous night, they gave into the more physical side of their relationship and enjoyed time together before Molly returned to her quarters.

After a shower, the Dresden’s Commanding Officer grabbed a cup of coffee and was halfway through getting dressed for the day… pants and boots on… and was reaching for his shirt as the first explosion rocked his ship, sending the Marine ass-over-tea kettle over the back of his couch and into momentary zero G. Just before he hit the deck, Harris had felt the slight lurch in his stomach that told the veteran fighter pilot before even looking that the Dresden had fallen… harshly… out of Warp. Just as he reached his feet, the ship shook violently once, twice, three… no FOUR more times. The ship, his ship, was hurt and hurt bad… leaving the officer only seconds to process what had happened to him before decades of training slammed the man into action.

Harris was throwing on his shirt as he ran across the room, practically sliding across his desk and quickly opening his terminal. As he tugged down his tunic, the Marine activated the Emergency Communications System sending… hopefully… an SOS to the nearest Federation Assets in the area before slipping into his .45’s shoulder harnesses and racing to his door. As he pulled the door open manually, the Marine stepped out into the corridor before darting to the nearest Turbolift for the Bridge.

Harris, CO

An odd glow appeared momentarily as he pulled on the doors to open them, the two rifles barely registering as they raised to meet his emerging face, the large figures holding them barely visible
