It was halfway through the night shift when there was an urgent communique coming in to the bridge. The Captain was asleep in his quarters and the XO............

Storyteller

Mwezi had a tendency of pulling double shifts. The regular shift where he acted as security for the Captain, and the night shift where he did his regular job - sitting at the weapons console as Weapons Officer. So here he was. He glanced up at the sound of an incoming communique and checked to see whether he was the highest ranking Officer on the bridge or not.

• Mwezi, WO

You are the highest ranking officer on the bridge.

Mwezi shrugged to himself, then stepped over to sit on the captain’s chair and receive the call.

“Lt. Mwezi of the Chernov here. What do you need?”

• Mwezi, WO

The person on the other end let out a heavy breath. [O]What do I need? Is that anyway to answer the con Lieutenant? I sure hope you can relay messages better than you can answer the com. [O]

[O]”Never mind. This is Admiral Jeff Thomas and I have a mission for you all. Since your ship did a great job handling the Galdor people and your ship is closer to the objective, I need you to act as first contact to the planet Ordel near the Orion boarder. The person you will need to contact is Govenor Delain. Proceed at once Lieutenant. Admiral Thomas out.[O]

Mwezi nodded slightly to himself. “Helm, plot a course.”

He tapped the inter-ship comm, and set a message to the Captain to receive when he awoke. “Mwezi to Captain. We’ve been given an assignment to go to Ordel. We’re on the way, but it’s probably a good idea for you to be up here when we arrive.”

• Lt. Mwezi, WO

Chris was laying down on the couch watching the Hellraiser collection for the 12th time in two weeks when the message from Mwezi came in. He sent one back to him. [O]Lt. Mwezi. Thank you for this and I see that the ship has changed course. Great job. I am indisposed for another two weeks unless of an emergency. Please send everything to Commander Sideman. He is the Acting Captain and Commander Grey is the acting XO. Please CC me on all messages though so that I can stay informed and act if need be. Keep up the great work and get some rest![O]

Captain Chris Taggart CO

[O]Good to know. Thanks for letting me know. Get well soon, Cap.[C]

Mwezi leaned back and rested for a few moments, readying himself before leaning forward and sending the same message to the XO. [O]Mwezi to Commander Sideman. We’ve been given an assignment to go to Ordel, I wasn’t told precisely why, but it seemed important. Since Captain Taggart is indisposed, it’s probably a good idea for you to be up here when we arrive. Weapon’s Officer out.[C]

Lt. Mwezi, WO

After reviewing the message from Mwezi Sideman went to the bridge. As he left the turbolift he said, “Report.”
