With a quick nod, he stands. "First stop though, needs to be the bridge. Thank you for your time, counsillor." He trots out and heads for the bridge. Upon reentering, he spots commander Williams still in command, he heads down to the command pit, and slides into the seat next to her. "We live in interesting times," he hands her a padd containing the necessary information fby sdavidson - USS Victoria
He leans back and takes a couple minutes to collect his faculties. "Right as always. May I use your concel? Your welcome to join me, better two heads on this than one and to be completely honest I'd rather not put this together alone." {if given permission, and followed to the computer terminal} He inputs his official access codes an turns the terminal so you can both see it as theby sdavidson - USS Victoria
He nodded and pondered for a minute, "is there anything stating I can't have her picked up and brought here? Or would it make...." he drains his orange juice and refills it again. "...more practical sense for me to request a loa and go get her myself." "It never hurts." he continues. "to expose them young to a starship. her records indicate she's bee in spaby sdavidson - USS Victoria
He nods, "I guess the issue may be..." he sips his tea. "I've never been a father. I mean, I know commander Williams has two kids I've babysat enough times, but their a lot younger..." he drums on the pad rapidly with his fingers. "She's almost a teen, with more.... baggage. Ok, not baggage, but you get my point. I'm still trying to figure out.... at my age... I would havby sdavidson - USS Victoria
Taking a deep breath, he tapped up the padd's contents. "If you get down to brass tacks, I knew in my heart that one day they'd be killed in action, but it doesn't make this any easier. The addition of a younger...." he stares at the biographical information in front of him, "...sister to this thing, one I didn't even know about, I'm happy I have a younger sister, but how am I suby sdavidson - USS Victoria
Williamson, counsillor's office] Entering after being invited in, he returns Andrea's hug. He ponders the question, he decides to change it up a bit. "Tea, and before you ask, anything you'd recommend would be great." He follows her over and finds a cummfy looking chair and settles himself in it, and sets a pad on the table containing the newly unlocked family records on the arm ofby sdavidson - USS Victoria
With a sigh of resignation, he'd just left commander Williams in charge after basically being a bit of an immotional handful, and left his most junior ops officer in charge of his station while he headed to his appointment. He with a resigned sigh pressed the doorbell to request entry. -----by sdavidson - USS Victoria
leaning into the hand as he stares at the pad in his hand. "I asked the computer to inform the counsillor to find me at her earliest opurtunity. Really all I could think to do. All I can do right now is figure out if I've got the time to go get her, or if someone's bringing her to me. The admiral wasn't very forthcoming with information such as that. Family friend or not..." he shakesby sdavidson - USS Victoria
Call that cheeting if you must, but I just threw the NPC profile for Alexis Williamson into ODN. why? because then I can steel the template for the wiki later, right?by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Done. I need to go update my e-mail here and on ODN. You'll already have It as I've just e-mailed you from it.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Do we want to involve the co in this little piece of insanity? I mean, he's gonna find out, because I just specifically asked the xo to inform him, but do we want him showing up on the bridge to make it roll? Thoughts, from absolutely anyone. Because I'm interested in anyone's thoughts at this point.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Jogging back onto the bridge, his face saying something major just happened, he sent Ensign Clarkson back to ops and took the xo's seat until the Xo got back. Turning to Commander Williams. "So, commander, any advice for those of us that just had a younger sister.... not even a teen.... dropped into our laps upon our parent's death?"by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Scanning the data quickly, noting necessary biographical information... and noting the age, barely a teenager. "she's... twelve, sir? No, don't answer that. just don't." He stands and hammers a key on the console sending the data to the CO and the xo. "knowing your apt to know my thinking," he says to the admiral as he approaches the table. "I'll make necessary arrangby sdavidson - USS Victoria
With a nod. "Sounds like something that would make sense." he crosses to his own terminal. "Computer, initiate biometric scan, to unlock previously locked out files on my..." he hesitates, "Previously unknown sister, authorization baker two five delta."by sdavidson - USS Victoria
"Excuse me Skylar? A... sister? a... younger sister? when did they have time to.... oh, never mind." He sits back and drums his fingers, quietly muttering... "a.... sister?" Sitting up, he holds out his hand for the padd. "May I?" {assuming it's handed to him} "No offense, but you know how I roll." He leans back. "Computer, validate the authenticiby sdavidson - USS Victoria
Looking up with a wide-eyed expression, she immediately responds, "I, sir." to her department head, and with a quick tap she jogs down to the command pit. and very quietly to commander Williams. "Was it just me or did he sound like he was about 0.5 seconds from losing it completely, immotionally?" She slips into the xo's seat so they don't interrupt the rest of the crew wiby sdavidson - USS Victoria
=/\=Williamson to ensign Clarkson, you have the remainder of the shift until next watch. Commander Williams, play nice with my new ops officer, please.=/\=by sdavidson - USS Victoria
His face goes from serious to thunderstruck in a matter of minutes as the admiral, someone he considered an uncle, who's daughter had babysat him more times than not over the years, delivered his news "Admiral..." He hesitates, "...skylar. lord knows I've told you time and time again, I didn't approve of my parent's posting, nor did I approve of the assignments they were sentby sdavidson - USS Victoria
As the time slowly passes, she gets comfortable, scanning systems reports, and waiting, nothing really happening. As the FCO returns, she stands, relieving command to commander Williams. "We're in good shape." She says as she quickly trots back to ops.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
"As you wish, sir." He responds as he follows the group to the briefing room. Smiling, "What amuses me about ensign Clarkson is she drinks more coffee than I think is truly necessary, but you know," he says as they continue down the corridor, "what keeps them going is all I care about, and if it don't effect her work performance, more power to her."by sdavidson - USS Victoria
With a look of dread, not having a clue what's going on, he responds, "I've left my junior ops ensign in charge on the bridge, as long as someone's headed back up to relieve her, I'm all yours, sir." Afterword, he follows the group out to the briefing room.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
As the introductions began, he stepped forward. "Lieutenant Commander Phillip Williamson, Chief of operations, at your service, Admirrral. Let me know if their's anything I can do to make your stay here more comfortable." he stepped back beside Marie as introductions continued.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Jogging briskly into the transporter room, he slides in next to the FCO, and does a quick scan of the console as he says "Hello all, apparently today's the day for... shall we say interesting surprises?" he shifts to a more formal stance, wondering what in blazes an admiral's up to.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
I'm here. catching up and apparently failing, and RSS is being a tool and I'm not getting updates through the rss feed for this ship just through the main rss feed. annoying, but whatcha gonna do, right?by sdavidson - USS Carina
Standing briskly, he offers command to his most senior level operations ensign and heads at a brisk trot for the turbolift. "Transporter room one" he ordersby sdavidson - USS Victoria
Jumping from ops, he runs down to the command pit, tapping shipwide. =/\=all department heads report to transporter room one, on the double!=/\=by sdavidson - USS Victoria
Entering the bridge, he glances around quickly. Noting who's on duty, he heads to ops, and relieves the duty officer and logs in and begins reviewing reports.by sdavidson - USS Victoria

As things progress, he continues reviewing data from engineering, and so engineering doesn't have to deal with it, he opens a channel to the captain. =/\=operations to the captain, the power failure you are asking about is confined to deck two, no need to panic, Please continue to rest, if your presence is needed I'll let you know, Williamson, out.=/\= After closing the channel, he looks up.by sdavidson - USS Victoria
