NCC-78168-A - Sovereign Class Starship
CEO LtJg. Van "VT" Trieu - 8 years ago
Upon beaming aboard the Broadsword transporter room, Van noticed that the ship was remarkably calm for one that had a hostile intruder. It looked like the intruders hadn't taken over the entire ship yet. But then an idea had struck him. If the intruders were still isolated, why not beam them off the ship directly?

Van stepped aboard the transporter pad, holding his new antiquated weapon and his mind played over the inherent irony of that statement in his head. He heard Captain McKnight say to Lt. Resnov, "Lock and load. Energize". The next thing he realized he saw blue sparkles engage his whole body and he was off into yet another unknown and dangerous situation.by VTrieu - USS Perseus

Van watched in silent amazement as Lt. Resnov briefed Captain McKnight on the new more "unorthodox" weapons the away team was about to outfitted with for this mission. From his own hazy recollections from old historical holo-vids, it looked like the Lieutenant was holding an old semi-automatic assault weapon from the mid-to-late 20th century. He briefly stifled a grin. If weby VTrieu - USS Perseus

Trieu and R'Kul had beads of sweat running down their faces. They and an entire security detachment had rushed over to the Transporter Room in order to meet the Captain. When there, Van was busily making sure all the armbands that the security detail were outfitted were properly working. He repeatedly stressed to them the experimental nature of these devices and that they were only workiby VTrieu - USS Perseus

=/\="Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Great job. You have 5 minutes to test them out. Keep me post. McKnight out,"=/\= Van heard the Captain's voice over his comm badge and knew he didn't have much time. He looked over at R'Kul and the even the normally nonplussed Vulcan was trailing beads of sweat down his brow in order to get the armbands finished on time.

=/\= "Captain McKnight, this is Lt. Trieu. We have an update. I would recommend re-diverting the security teams you just sent to the transporter to head over to Main Engineering first. We have those armbands ready but there are a few issues I want to review with them first before they beam over." =/\=by VTrieu - USS Perseus

The Captain is about to send over a security team and we'll need to get them those armbands ASAP =/\= The Petty Officer sweated ever so slightly as he heard this message over the comm link.

"Have your security teams report to the transporter and be prepared to beam over to them. We also need to be prepared to be boarded ourselves." Van was currently tapped into the communications feed from the Bridge and therefore heard Captain McKnight give this order to this tactical officer. VT suddenly realized that 90 minutes was no longer going to cut it. He tapped his coby VTrieu - USS Perseus

As soon as Trieu entered Main Engineering, he saw R'Kul waiting for him at the MSD. Van silently laughed to himself, R'Kul was do dependable and punctual you could set your chronometer to him. "R'Kul, on-time as usual," Van noted wryly. R'Kul responded dryly, "Those were my orders sir." He then raised an eyebrow. "Did you just receive a promotion without infoby VTrieu - USS Perseus

"Have Engineering get started on those bands immediately and you get some rest, Lieutenant.", Van heard the Captain say as he left the Briefing Room en route to the Bridge. Trieu acknowledged the Captain's orders with a knowing nod. The red alert klaxon took him by surprise and the exhaustion that he felt was only exacerbated by the screech from the ship's alarms.

"Do you two have any ideas on how we can protect ourselves from turning into one of them? It was really close in our last encounter with them and I for one don't want to end up as a zombie," asked the Captain. Van heard Captain McKnight direct this question to both him and Dr. O'Connor.

As Captain McKnight affixed a black pip to his mustard colored collar, Van couldn't have felt prouder. He had worked hard in Engineering to get a posting aboard the Perseus. And yet he also felt trapped in a surreal moment. Only two years ago, he had considered leaving Starfleet altogether after experiencing the horrors of the Dominion War. But he was specifically recruited by the Corps ofby VTrieu - USS Perseus

As the doors opened to the Observation Lounge that also doubled as the briefing room, Trieu suddenly realized that nearly the entire senior staffs of both the USS Broadsword and the USS Carina had assembled, in addition to the regular command staff of the Perseus. Something definitely big was happening to prompt such an unusual joint briefing. Suddenly Van felt very self-conscious of hisby VTrieu - USS Perseus

"I don't see any harm in attending the staff meeting, Ensign. I know how Captains are sometimes, but as soon as the meeting is over, I want you to get a good eight hours of sleep. Leave your engineering duties to your assistant or something and lock yourself in your quarters. Don't open the door for anything. Do I make myself clear? Now, go."

"Oh no, you really should have came directly to sickbay first, Ensign, before doing anything else. Prolonging treatment of injuries is never a good thing." "Not to worry though. "We can still fix it but it may feel a bit sore. Just hold still." Van heard those words before he felt the cool touch of a hypospray on the side of his neck. Instantly he felt the stinby VTrieu - USS Perseus

"By the way, I'm Dr. Michelle Lee. I recently transferred to the Perseus from Starfleet Medical. I got bored of staying on the planet, but I'm starting to regret my decision to come aboard a starship," she said, "There's no place to run if there's an epidemic!" "Well Dr. Lee, life aboard a starship is never boring," VT responded. Van let out a small laugh.by VTrieu - USS Perseus

"I'm so sorry, Ensign!" Before he even registered hearing those words, he felt a slight bump on his elbow. He turned around and noticed that a young doctor had accidentally run into him. "Where the heck did it go?" she murmured to herself as she bent down next to two biobeds. Van quickly bent down and found her lost tricorder in a crevice behind one of the beds.by VTrieu - USS Perseus

Van entered Sickbay and noticed that it was already crowded with the other wounded personnel. He say various nurses, technicians, and other medical staff tending to the injured. Trieu pulled aside a technician who was working a console and asked him, "Crewman, where's Dr. O'Connor?"by VTrieu - USS Perseus
CEO Ens. Van "VT" Trieu - 8 years ago
"Granted. And Ensign, you should stop by sickbay as well. We had a rough fight the last few days and I want to make sure you're okay. You might want to stay away from the EMH though. If I were you, I'll stick with Dr. O'Connor. Only go to the EMH as a last result."

"The center seat suits you well," Van heard Captain McKnight say as he walked onto the Bridge. Trieu allowed himself a wry grin and said, "I've just been keeping it warm for you Captain. And truth be told, I've had to commandeer small ships during the war when the entire command staff had been killed.

"Activate on my mark....NOW!" Van yelled from across the Bridge. Petty Officer R'Kul acknowledged Trieu's command and activated the re-initialization sequence from his console at the rear of the Bridge.

Hours had passed since his first engineering team had entered the heavily damaged Bridge. Van was underneath the Captain's chair, re-configuring its interface circuits. He had long ago ditched his outer grey jacket and had been working, with his yellow gold sleeves rolled up, for at least two full shifts and a half. Maybe three. To be honest, he had lost count.

As Van and his crew finally crawled out of the Jeffries tubes accessing one of the auxiliary corridors to the Bridge, they knew they were in for a huge mess. The door labeled "Main Bridge" was very clearly scorched, most likely due to a blown EPS conduit. He reached down and tried accessing the side panel to open the door. Nothing happened. Naturally.

"Ensign Trieu, get repair teams out and fix my bridge," said the Captain as he looked at his battered crew, "I will promise you that we will find her and we will stop whatever is going on here no matter what." With those words echoing in his ears, Van snapped back to attention, despite everything in his body aching. The adrenaline from beaming up the survivors had to cby VTrieu - USS Perseus

Once Van heard the Captain give the order to commence transporter, his fingers swiped across the console in the familiar upward motion that signaled a transport lock and beam out. "I got them sir!" he yelled out and added, "I was able to isolate the members of the away team with the most serious injuries and transport them directly to Sickbay."by VTrieu - USS Perseus

Trieu heard the Captain address him and say, "Ensign, are the transporters ready?" Van checked his screen one more time for confirmation from his engineering crew. With all status displays lighting up green, he allowed himself a brief smile. "Captain, all systems are green.

"Ensign Trieu, I want the transporters ready by the time we reach the planet," Van heard the Captain say. He was so glad to see the Captain had made it back safely that he hadn't realized what a rather substantial task this was going to be. All he could say was "Aye sir!"

Once he saw the Captain re-materialize on the deck, Van let out an audible sigh. He instantly felt so much of his stress just melt away. He could barely suppress a grin when he saw McNally give the Captain an enormous bear hug. Before he knew it though, McNally had quickly turned away from the McKnight and turned around to plant a quick peck on his cheek. VT was taken by complete surpby VTrieu - USS Perseus

"Ensign Trieu, as the highest ranking officer here, I'm giving you permission to beam the Captain out. If something goes wrong, I will accept full responsibility."
