"Like I said, nothing has been confirmed yet." Kaim said as he stepped off the lift. "I really hope I don't lose anybody. This crew is one of the best I have ever worked with." They entered the transporter room and the chief looked up from his panel. "Ah. Just in time. The Maelstrom has just signalled that they are ready to beam Miss Williamson aboard."by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
"Some would say that is a desirable quality in a first officer or a counselor for that matter..." Kaim trailed off as he thought of Andrea. He quickly snapped out of it. "Once everything settles down, keep that in mind. I've been hearing rumors about Command reassigning some of our crewbut it is all speculation at this point. If it turns out to be true, a command position couldby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
As the lift started to moved, Kaim glanced over to the younger officer. "Have you ever considered leaving Operations and transfer to Command?"by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim stood up and walked to the turbolift. When Williamson entered and the doors shut, Kaim spoke. "You handled yourself well during that situation. I was impressed to say the least."by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim smirked as Williamson took care of the situation and everything went smoothly. He glanced up at the chronometer. "The Maelstrom should be in transporter range shortly. Why don't we head down to the transporter room?"by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim watches as Williamson springs into action, taking charge of the situation. While Kaim was content to let him handle the situation, he was ready to take command if it got out of hand. He looked over at OPS. "Maintain a transporter lock on the shuttle until it is secured just in case, Petty Officer." He nodded and went to work. Kaim then turned his attention to Lieutenant Tby A.J.

The shuttle continues its approach as the bridge crew springs into action. All scans on the shuttle stop and it is three minutes from touchdownby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
The command console beeps and a text message is displayed. "Brother, The shuttle is being sent by me to you. There is someone on the Maelstrom that keeps trying to access it. I have the computer in siege mode until she lands on the Victoria and I arrive. Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to access it in any way. It will self destruct if you do. I will deactivate siege mode when I arriveby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
The shuttle slows down, the way it slowed down suggested a computer was controlling it and not a human pilot.by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
"I have a very bad feeling about this. Usually my gut feeling rocks, captain." Glancing up, science, status report." firmly and with no room for nonsense as he retakes his chair. "Something tells me their's something in that damn computer core, Captain." he looks down at the beep of his console. "No rest for the wicked, I suppose." he ponder the message andby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
The command console beeps with a message for Williamson. It reads as follows: =/\= TO: Lt. Commander Phillip Williamson, OPS, USS Victoria FROM: Lt. Commander Serena Greene, SO, USS Victoria SUBJECT: Breakfast *BEGIN MESSAGE* I will get on those scans as soon as I can for you and it's a little late for breakfast but how about lunch instead? *END MESSAGE* =/\=by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim walked back onto the Bridge and moved towards the command pit. "Lieutenant Tyrell, is there room in Shuttlebay One for the shuttle?" Rose was about to hit the comm button when she heard the Captain. "Yes sir. We have room in the bay to recieve the shuttle." "What about in Shuttlebay Two?" "We have a few empty storage spots." "Fantaby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
"Understandable." he smiles. "Most departments are a bit of a mess right now, Things should get back to normal soon, I'd hope. My night shift people have mentioned you. but me working alpha I never got a chance to put a face to a name." Glancing down. "inform the shuttlebay. incoming shuttle." Glancing up.

"Williamson, Lieutenant Commander Phillip Williamson, chief of operations. Everyone calls me Phil. A pleasure... commander?" "Lieutenant Commander Serena Greene. Sorry. I don't get to come to the Bridge often and when I do, it's the night shift so don't blame me too much if I don't know the Alpha shift crew. Williamson then pointed out the padd.

Serena walked onto the Bridge quietly and headed over to the Science station. She sat and logged in, beginning checks.by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Five minutes later, the command console beeps that the attempted access to the shuttle has stoppedby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim walked into his ready room and headed to his desk. He sat down and tapped the comm button on the surface. "Kurogami to Lieutenant Reeves" A moment later, Kaitlyn's Scottish voice filtered through the speakers =/\="Yes Captain? How can I help you?"=/\= "Could you get me the Commanding Officer of the Maelstrom and send it to my Ready Room?" =/\="by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
"Well, in that case, you have the Bridge. I will handle this." He takes the cup and heads off to the ready room.by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim quickly went through his own stack of padds as Reeves walked off. Williamson then made a comment on the progress of the refit. "Yeah. We are actually ahead of schedule which I think is great because I go crazy when we are in spacedock. I would rather be out in space, moving freely." Kaim then heard the command console beep to signal an alert. He felt Phillip move to look so heby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaitlyn shuffled the padds in her hands and in her soft Scottish accent, replied. "Just some operational reports and other things that require the Captain to sign off on." She handed a small stack of them to Williamson. "Here you go Commander." She then moved over to Kurogami. "Captain. I will be back for these by the end of the day."by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim chuckled. "Paperwork. My weakness. It never really ends." Just about that time, Lieutenant Kaitlyn Reeves walked out of the briefing room. "Speak of the devil and she shall appear..." Kaim said quietly enough that only Williamson could hear.by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria

Phillip glanced up. "I'd expect nothing less, sir." Kaim glanced at the command console as he reached for his cup and saw remote diagnostics being performed on a shuttle but access to the core was being denied, Kaim was about to say something when Phillip beat him to the punch. "Captain, that shuttle will have to be secured and immediately no questions asked transferredby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim set his cup down and stood up, pulling his uniform down as the the viewscreen was filled with the image of an eleven year old girl. "This is Captain Kaim Kurogami of the Victoria. I presume that you are Alexis Williamson?" Alexis smiled. "You would be correct Captain." She replied in a beautiful British accent. "I am calling to inform you and my brother that wby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim watched the screen. "I'll answer the call and hand it to you. Put it on the big screen."by A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim's expression softened. "Is this the first time you lost people under your command?" EDIT: Subject lineby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
Kaim took his cup and walked over to the replicator. He recycled the cup and inputted his order and got Phillip a refill.He brought the cups back and handed Phillip his. Kaim took his seat again as the scent of vanilla began to fill the immediate area.He looked over at the sensor readings and did some math in his head. "Thirty four minutes until she arrives." He took a sip. "Doby A.J. Foster - USS Victoria
