Uh, I don't believe so. That would be up to Commander House. Due to Mardel's pregnancy and the complications she's having, she isn't on active bridge duty, just duty in her ready room and rest at home.

That would be a hard no.

Just remember, if you aren't where the action is, you don't know what's going on. But I have tried to outline things to keep everyone busy. Tonight, I will not be helping the Aldrin, Commander House is doing that. I will be playing the Klingons. So you have to beat ME during this leg of the war games. Hehehehe.
So places everyone, and get ready to see if you can out wit ME, or if I have you all running in circles.

Open a channel to them, continue on course for the moment. We're not going that fast, if it is real we can alter course. ::Looking back to the three:: Do you think you can set up four warheads that will simulate a warpcore breach. As well as, more your play, Doctor, pods that give off, with out a doubt, life signs as well as dead bodies?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing01/04/2021
And the Klingons are probably monitoring Communications like crazy so they can figure out where we are and what we're doing. I hate saying it but that distress call sounds like an obvious Ploy to draw us closer to them, if they are not already following us cloaked already
○●● Lt Cmdr CJ Langley01/04/2021

If this is real, we're going to need you, CJ to start on that problem. We'll get them to send the data of what is going on there. The games can wait but the Klingons may not. We may have to explain it to them in a different way and drop you and a team off.

Okay everyone, great job tonight. And yes, throwing in the monkey wrench with that distress call was part of MY plan even if it wasn't part of House's. Hehehehe. Time Between Sim will be the 45 minutes, so we will start next week, getting in orbit around Regula I. And yes, Joy, it is a science outpost, full of the families and support personnel, so there is about 1,000,000 people there of all ages and 15% of them are now dead and the rest are in danger of dying. So we do have a mess on our hands. And the Klingons are monitoring, but will not attack while we are rendering aid to the planet in distress.
Any questions?

Are the families and all grouped into individual sections or is it all just a hodgepodge of people everywhere?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor01/04/2021
It's both. The station is centrally located. However, most of the families live on the outskirts in private homes and only work on the outpost and such.
Yes, Tholan/Joy?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing01/04/2021
Ok thanks I was needing to draw up a plan as to where to deploy the teams and have a central location
○● LtJG ch'Fairia/●Ens Tsuruchi01/04/2021
Since Joy is back as CSCI do you want me to have tholan float between sci and med?
●●●● Capt Mardel Shayron-Connor01/04/2021
I will discuss it with House and get back to you on that.
Any thing else? And yes, with 45 minutes, there is time for logs this week. So, I hope to see some.

●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers01/04/2021
Aye, already is. We need to do some logs for the fighter wing and yall training anyway.
I am particularly pleased with everyone's participation and engaging. The ideas thrown around. Even as fast paced as it was, everyone kept up. I think that was one of our best sims to date. I know I am proud of you all and you should be proud of yourself.
Lets see where this continues to go next week! We do have 45 minutes for logs, particularly those of you prepping for rescue relief. don't forget also to get the other thing set up once we resume the war games.
As always, stay safe, do what you're suppose to do, Happy New Years, and see you next week. Sod off.
