Day 2
"Alright, where were we?" Barr-bara asked, walking back into the room.
"Nowhere." Vox responded.
"What do mean 'nowhere'?" she asked, not understanding her new boss's
meaning.
"I mean, we are no closer to answering the question than we were three
hours
ago when we started this."
"What was the question again?" Its been so long, I've forgotten
already."
Barbra asked, wiping her eyes from top to bottom, as she walked around
the
side of the Engineering table.
"What caused the explosion in Holodeck 5." Bar-bara number 3 answered.
Vox
also wiped his face now. His second day on board was starting off much
as
his first had. With a problem.
***
Day 1
Vox stepped inside the airlock, as an Admiral walked in the other
direction
followed by his entourage, 3 commanders, 2 Lts., and a very attractive
aide
all in tow. Vox stood aside so they could pass by. He was new to the
****p,
having just arrived at the station a few hours earlier. His shuttle
had
originally been scheduled for Deneva II. Realizing that the ****p would
no
longer be there, the pilot made an abrupt turn for this star base. It
truly
was just his luck. "Excuse me, Ensign." One of the chiefs said, as
he
passed by. Vox looked from side to side. "Can I help you, sir?"
"Yes. I've been transferred here, and am looking for the captain."
"The captain is in sickbay." The chief said.
"Excellent." He nodded in thanks and walked away towards main sickbay.
"Oh, but I wouldn't go that way, Ensign."
"why not, Chief?"
"Main lifts are all down. As are the aft shuttlebay doors. Say, you
wouldn't happen to be an engineer, would you?"
Vox had been looking down while he spoke. At least he now knew what
he'd be
doing once he'd checked in. Looking up, he nodded very slowly.
"Ah, excellent. Glad I could help!" The chief said as he bounded down
the
hall, thinking he'd done something good.
Walking into Sickbay, Vox placed his bag down, talked to a nurse for a
moment, before walking over to the Captain's bed. Where the captain
was
holding court.
"Yes, Ensign, how can I help you today?" the Captain asked, placing
extra
emphasis on the "you" in that sentence.
"Uh, Ensign Vox Dei re****ting for duty, Captain." He said, handing him
his
marching orders.
"Our new CEO. Well, welcome aboard. I hope you don't mind if I don't
get
up?"
"No sir. Not at all."
"Quite kind of you."
"The triplets are waiting for you down in Engineering. Once you're
settled,
I'd like you to get a physical, and show up for our morning staff
meeting
every morning at 0900. Oh yeah, and fix a few things while you're at
it."
"Yes, sir."
"Good." Spence said, looking up at the younger man. "Then I'll see
you
tomorrow. Dismissed."
*****
A few hours later (still on Day 1)...
"Listen, in the memos going around, we've been telling people to avoid
the
Kookaanuloo cluster of sensors."
Barbra: "Okay, and your point?"
"Well, for one thing, we're spelling Kookanuloo like 14 different ways.
But
that's not im****tant, what do we know?"
"Two A's. Four O's."
"that's it?"
"No, there are other letters too...but that's probably not what you
meant."
"No."
"Riiiiight. Okay, well, there was a power surge after we came out of
Warp."
"So, what are we doing about it?"
"Getting there." Barbra bantered. "we've swapped out the main unit,
and
are now working our way around the power packs. I'm sure you know how
delicate this is, so Barbara is working on it."
"Good, and who's on the aft shuttlebay doors?"
"Bar-bara."
"You just said she was at the Kookanuloo sensors."
"No, that's Barbara."
"Can someone hand me a roster and a hypo-spray filled with ibuprofen
please?"
"Listen, professor, we have 3 people named Barbara in the department.
Just
some freaky part of personnel. I don't think they realized it when
they
deployed."
"No, I wouldn't think so." Vox deadpanned.
****
Flashforward
Time: later on Day 2
"So, has Barb finished the Holodeck yet?" Vox asked.
"I'm sorry, chief, but who?" Barbra intoned with more sarcasm than
ever
before (and that was saying something).
"Bar-bara. Barbara number 3. Look, I'm still trying to find a way to
tell
you three apart without needing to resort to, you know, the blond one.
Or
the one with stringy hair. Or, well...you."
"Its almost hard to believe people walk in the other direction when
they see
you coming."
"Yeah, I'm a real people person. So," He paused for a moment. "Where
is
she?"
"Fini****ng up. She found it. It was a bad power coupler. She had to
replace the whole side wall, and it took some time."
"Good. When she comes back, I need you to run a complete diagnostic on
every system of the ****p. Level 1. It'll take some time, so make sure
you
run it by Operations."
"Aye."
"Good, I'm going to grab some food."
"I'll call you if I need you, which means, enjoy your food."
"Thanks, I think..." Vox said, walking off. It felt good to be back
on a
****p again.
