As promised, a message from Admiral Brayden came to the Captain’s desk, indicating that the starbase was initiating a full medical lockdown in one hour, and that all starships were to stay in dock, and to not allow any personnel to pass between the starbase and any of their ships until the quarantine was concluded. He advised the captains to have their medical teams to do a quick symptoms check, but to be discreet. The disease in question had a low transmission rate, with mild presenting symptoms - but it could prove fatal if it wasn’t treated within the week of infection.

The channel was technically open - all of the recipients of the message could see who else the Admiral had contacted - but the clearance level was O-6 and above for full details. The Admiral had actually given detailed clearance levels below that - medical department clearance for the infection name and identifying markers with strict instructions not to inform the rest of the crew, security department clearance for quarantine enforcement, engineering department clearance to put propulsion systems to idle - which helped provide protocol clarifications even before the question was asked. However, save for the Sentinel’s XO, nobody below Captain’s rank on any of the other ships had authorization to know the full contents of the Admiral’s message.

Whether this plan would allow the Sentinel crew to catch a spy would have to prove itself later.

Rende made sure that the orders were sent out to the appropriate department heads. Then she went onto the bridge.

A moment after taking her seat Lt. Kreed’s voice came over the ship’s comms. [O] Attention all hands, this is the Chief Medical Officer. At the order of Star Fleet Medical, we are now under a medical quarantine. All personnel are to report to their quarters and remain inside until seen and examined by medical staff. All Department Heads are hereby instructed to keep only essential personnel in their departments and to close access to all non-department personnel until cleared by Medical. All departments acknowledge, please. [C]

“Alright, you heard the doctor. Lt. Ra’Ti, you’ll stay here to man the bridge.” If things went bad up here, Ra’Ti was who she wanted with her. “Everyone else lock your duty stations and report to quarters.” Asam looked around as everyone did as ordered. “You too Rand,” she said quietly. The Yeoman nodded and filed into the lift with everyone else.

“What? Everyone else gets to gobtake a nap andbI’m stuck at work?” the Tactical Officer said with a mock-glare. “That’s some bulls#!t. I’m calling my Uniion rep.” he added while making sure everything on the bridge was secured and rhe ship’s weapons were sealed off to anyone besides him and the CO.

Asam’s brown went up and she grinned, but she managed not to laugh while everyone else was on the bridge.

Accessing a computer terminal she composed a brief secure message to Kreed indicating Officer she’d assigned to tasks and where they would be.

[O]Sickbay, this is the bridge. We’ve cleared everyone to quarters except a skeleton crew. We will remain here until Lt. Kreed clears us.[C]

Cpt. Asam, CO

Ra’Ti looked around the bridge, empty save for the two of them. He then looked at Asam and grinned. “So… however will we pass the time?”

Ra’Ti, Tactical

“If we were off-duty, I would suggest an old Earth game called, ‘Never Have I Ever’. But I don’t drink on duty. Whatcha thinking?”

Cpt. Asam, CO

Ra’Ti shrugged. “We can put the drinks on a tab. Next R and R we pay up. So how do you play?” and he took a seat in the First Officer’s chair and stretched his legs out.

Ra’Ti, Tactical

Rende liked how he didn’t even ask what was going on, he just went with it, like this was an every day thing to get stuck on the bridge with the captain. “The premise is to start with the phrase ‘Never Have I Ever,’ and then state something you’ve never done. But you want to trip up the other players. Something tmyou think they have done. If they have, then they take a shot.”

Cpt. Asam, CO

Xam arched an eyebrow at her. “Really? You have like a thousand years on me. You are gonna have done almost everything…” but then he grinned. “But I think I can get imaginative and get at least enough to get you drunk… in the future of course. Not now. ‘Duty’ and all. Ok. I’ll go first, just to see if I have this right. So… Never have I ever… been locked on the bridge alone with a superior officer.”

Ra’Ti, Tactical

Rende laughed, and grabbed a PaDD and scrawled their names across it. She hummed as she thought. “Hmmm…yeah…no. Nope, that wasn’t the bridge, so nope never done that.” She grinned. “Never Have I ever broken a bone doing something stupid.”

Cpt. Asam, CO

Xam sighed. “Really? You’re going that lame? Mark me down for a shot.” and he thought a moment and then said “Never have I ever broken a bone doing someone stupid.” and he laughed.

Ra’Ti, Tactical

Rende laughed, “Hey, you said I’m old. There isn’t much I haven’t done.” She put a mark on the sheet for herself, “including that.” She tapped a finger on the arm of her chair. “Never Have I Ever gone hunting in the nude.”

Cpt. Asam, CO

“Whoa. Time out.” Ra’Ti said with a laugh. “You’re gonna have to be a lot more specific. Hunted an animal? No. Hunted for the fastest way out when her husband came home early? Absolutely.”

Ra’Ti, Tactical

“Hunting prey, Lt. Not being the one hunted,” Asam clarified with a chuckle. Her eyes dropped to the control panel on her chair for a moment and then scanned the bridge glancing at the panels for any alerts.
