Posted by Lieutenant Casela Synthi-er (Counsellor / RTF) in pre-sim The Brilliant Lt. Hampton
After leaving Doc Fey to work out details with ARU, Casela found her way down to engineering looking for Lt. Hampton. The man was distrustful, but she shrugged so was everyone else on this ship. She walked towards him, “Lt. Hampton, if you have a moment,” and she meant it. Engineering was way over worked, but she wanted his expert opinion.

(assuming he says yes if not void)

“I was hoping to get your expert opinion. The report indicates that something is causing the crew to experience head trauma of some sort. I’ve searched the medical and psychological databases, but I haven’t found anything to make a definitive guess as to what is causing it. An RTF team will be dispatched to the Einstein to locate and contain this…whatever it is. The only records we have been able to obtain is that it sends out a signal oscillated between 0.5 and 4 hertz. Is there anything we can replicate, or create to protect the team from that signal. Hopefully protecting them, even temporarily, from the signal? Give them a little extra time to do their jobs?”

Hampton was working at an engineering station with his back to Casela as she walked in. Upon hearing her voice directed towards him he did not turn to face her but rather continued working and looking down at the console in front of him. “What do you want?” he responded simply and unemotionally. Upon listening to the lieutenant’s request Hampton swiveled in his chair to face her, a scowl spread across his face. “Well unfortunately for you and the people on your side of the fence, it seems the RTF does not value me enough to give me any of these reports you speak of, Frankly I have no idea what you are talking about because nobody on this ship seems to feel that I need to know.” He swiveled back to his console. “I’m not going to be the RTF’s private mechanic to do their job for them. If you want help, get one of your secret agent buddies, this ship is crawling with them. I’m not going to bend over backwards to help people who don’t show me any respect and are intent on keeping me in the dark lieutenant. If my help is truly desired, I need those reports that have been deemed classified.” Hampton let off a scoff upon completing his sentence. He had no time to help the RTF, let alone desire.
