ON

Commander Reagan was seated in the command chair, Captain Williams was away on some business and left the ship in his care. Though he did surmise that she would be back when she was ready. In the meantime, watch was being kept on the stars outside. Information was coming in on the various details of the war which raged about in this sector. Pierce rose from the command seat, and walked about in order to stretch his legs. Just as he was on his round on the deck, there came a signal, and the communications officer brought it to his attention.

"Sir we've got a distress signal."

Pierce was right over there quickly, "Okay let's hear it."

A feminine sounding voice could be heard, though the message was filled with the crackle of static, "If anyone can here me, please we are in dire need of medical supplies. Is anyone out there? We need help. Our coordinates are as follows," the numbers being given out. My name is Eliza Hermann I am the leader. hopefully our call has been heard."

Pierce glanced at the communications officers then tapped his commbadge

"Commander Sharpe, Lieutenant Karri, Ensigns Connolly, M'Ralla and O'Donnaghue please report to the briefing room." Pierce sending out the call for a meeting. He went into the briefing room to await those he called, to arrive.

As soon Ari heard Pierce's message, she rushed to the briefing room. It rarely bode well when so many were asked to come to a briefing. While Ari hadn't been on the Ottawa for that long, she was no fool. Something was going on and it wasn't good.

M'Ralla heard the call from Pierce and handed over her task to another ensign then hurried to the briefing room. This was the first time she had been called by name and was concerned that there had been some sort of problem with her work, though for the life of her she could not determine what that might have been. She was always very conscientious about her work and the reports filed upon completion. She also had to wonder about the other names that were called, she did not recognize most of them, which meant that something else was going on, and that thought made her even more concerned as to the reason for the summons. After navigating the ship quickly, she arrived at the briefing room and entered. "Ensign M'Ralla, reporting as ordered," She said as she took two steps in and to the side of the door.

As people began to filter in, Pierce turned from the window he had been looking out, and gave a wan smile. "Ah thank you for coming in answer to my call."

Once everyone was seated, Pierce began, " We had received an emergency call, and they are needing some medical supplies, here let me play the recording for you." and he activated the recording for the rest to hear it. Once the message was finished playing he looked at those there.

"I intend on us taking the needed supplies to this place but I wanted to see what your take is on it. Now details are sketchy at best, and we may wind up coming into a slight hostile environment. The recording sounds legitimate. Thoughts from any of you?"

Sharpe smiled to himself as he slid out of the Jefferies tube into the briefing room. He quickly stood and closed the tube cover, sliding away on the of the tools he'd been using into his waistcoat.

"Long story Commander." he said as he straightened his uniform and sat in his usual seat. "I heard the call... sound moves surprisingly well through that tube. We can't ignore this call... that said we should take precautions."

Pierce gave a nod as to Sharpe's recommendation. "Ensign M'ralla please take a seat." giving a nod towards the table where the others were. "At the moment from what is shown here, " Pierce clicking a remote where a map appeared, "the distress originated here. I would like everyone to get preparations made in order for us to A: take on injured people, B: Provide repairs if needed. C: Most definitely be on alert. Any objections, perceptions on this matter?"

M'Ralla took a seat as ordered then looked at the map. She was so low on the totem pole that she was decidedly reserved while amongst the current company. She had to figure that the chief engineer would be providing suggestions on what supplies they might need to make repairs, but from the message she wasn't sure what those would even be.

Karri came in, her lab coat slightly disheveled. She straightened it rather quickly, hoping that the XO didn't notice. She nodded. "Such as converting cargo bays or holodecks, Commander?" She said.

"Good idea. I had heard of one ship that utilized the Holodeck as a hospital or even a hotel which housed a few people. Either way, are you all onboard to go help these people even though it may be a bit dangerous?" Pierce looking at those there.

M'Ralla was a little bit nervous about speaking up, she cleared her throat a little before speaking, "Umm, do we know what sort of damage? A vessel or structure? Because the items needed for repairs would be decidedly different for each... Sir."

"I am not certain so, I will say be prepared for both. Its about the best information that I can give to you." Pierce answering M'Ralla. "We will invariably be finding out once we get to the coordinates."

M'Ralla nodded. This was going to be difficult, she would need to prep two different supply crates, well actually three. One for structures, one for vessels, and the third for items that are fairly universal for either. And they would need to keep crew on standby with specialties in dealing with either scenario. With a quiet sigh she began to enter data on the PADD in front of her. It was going to get busy.


Pierce looked at M'Ralla, gave her an encouraging smile. "You won't be alone in your endeavor, we have people who will be helping." he then looked at the others, "It looks like we are all in agreement? Lets get this show on the road. Ensign O'Donnaghue-Meran let plot our course and get ourselves underway." rising from his seat in preparation to get to the bridge.

Eoin looked to the captain "Understood captain laying in course now maximum warp" he pushed he dial up and waited for the warp engines to kick in "We should reach our destination in a little over a day" he said smiling as he punched in the coardinates.

M'Ralla smiled her thanks to the Commander. She stood from the table and picked up her PADD already planning on the staging of the equipment they might need. She waited till the senior officers had left the room before she exited and headed for the engineering decks.

Pierce watched as the crew left and gave a slight sigh. Hopefully this little side mission will go well.
