The second visit

Posted on Wed Dec 16th, 2020 @ 7:02pm by Lieutenant Commander Deannen Roinu & Ensign Wulfgar Duergar

Mission: Survival of the fittest
Location: Wulfgar's quarters

[ON]

Wulfgar rested on his bunk, a scattering of multiple PADDs lay around him and one rested in his hand. He would occasionally pick one of the other PADDs up, look at it then put it down to enter some data into the main PADD. He was going over the reports from the manufacturing of new parts for the ship. It was a slow process, especially with him being confined to quarters, but it was working. They had made their first few parts and they had been installed. The data gathered from the shields is looking promising and he smiled. "Thanks Dad for the idea. It might save my career in the end." He spoke to the empty barracks.

The other crew he shared with were on duty so he was alone and could get some work done. Jane was busy making cookies or trying to recruit for her various activities. He chuckled at the thought of her persistence. It reminded him a bit of a character from a series about a 20th century witches and wizards school and one boy in particular. Jane reminded him of the boys female friend that started clubs for every thing. He thought it was something like 'hermyknee'.

Rouni came by Ensign Wulfgar's quarters and decided to stop and see how he was doing. He was on quarters for displinary act and only allowed to come out for work, medical or food. She rang the door chime and waited.

"Enter." Wulfgar called as he sat up on his bunk, a PADD or two slid off the bed to the deck. He bent over, a wince on his face as he picked up the fallen. Pads just as the door slid open to reveal the 2nd officer. He leaped to his feet, ignoring the protest of his left side where Kyle had landed the punch. "Ma'am!"

Rouni replied, "As your were, In your room you and relax cause it is you private area Ensign. I just stopped by to check on you and be sure you are ok when on quarters. Is there anything I can help you with? And how is your side doing?"

Wulfgar relaxed but remained standing. "I have access to the replicators and access to the general reports from engineering so I am able to keep up on the repair status. Im wishing this confinement ends soon so I can get back to work." He said then placed a hand on his left lower ribs. "Healing just fine. Not much pain except when I over do it but it won't affect my work. I've worked with worse injuries before."

"Good I am glad you are recovering comfortably. Is there anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable? And please sit down so you can relax."

Wulfgar took a seat but kept his back straight. "Unfortunately the thing that would make me the most comfortable you can't give me Ma'am. I'm confined to quarters and I'd be most comfortable in engineering." He let out a sigh. "I miss the humm and the vibrations of the warpcore, the constant hustle and bustle of the engineers working together in organized Chaos." He let out a chuckle. "Where are my manners, may I offer you a drink?" He got up and walked to the replicator.

"No thanks I am good, I just left a meeting with the XO and like usual there was a huge spread. Are you making out ok while on quarters. And is there anything I can do for you. I will ask and see if you may be allowed to go to Engineering as long as when not doing your job there you return to your quarters when off duty." Rouni said.

"I'm good Ma'am. I don't need any special treatment. I violated star fleet regulations and therefore deserve any and all stipulations of the resulting consequences. Though I appreciate that you would ask this for me, I shall remain on the discipline the Captain stated and I will adhere to the exact letter as well." Wulfgar said as he retrieved a cup of coffee and returned to the table.

"Understood and I do admire you for taking your punishment without complaining. Most try to say they did not do it and try to blame someone else. With that kind of thinking I feel you will go a long way in star fleet. A good officer takes the blame when they screw up as well as the pat on the back for a job well done." Rouni stated.

"I want to go far in star fleet. I started out as a NCO and less than a year ago graduated the officer candidate school. I don't want to mess that hard work up." Wulfgar said.

"I saw that in your record and also saw it was your Captain that recommended you to be trained to become an officer. You have an excellent record and are a top notch officer as well. I look forward to serving with you." Said Ruoni.

"Thank you Ma'am. I look forward to serving with you too. And thank you for calming my fears of the worst thoughts I've been having over this." Wulfgar said as he sat back and relaxed a bit. He could feel the weight of the stress just melt away from his shoulders.

"I am glad I could help you out and if needed may I recommend seeing the ships councilor if you need to. Maybe she can help out with some ideas to prevent this from happening again. When I need to I ask here stuff as we walk along corridors or in the recreation area as to when I have a question." Replied Rouni.

Wulfgar was taking a drink when Rouni mentioned the councelor and almost choked. "She.. She's been coming to see me since the incident." He stammered a bit. He looked down into his coffee and his hair falling forward to hide the red that flushed his face.

"Very good and if I can help you out let me know. I take great pride in helping out my crewmates. And sorry if I over stepped with my suggestion." As she handed a towel to Wulfgar.

"You did no such thing ma'am. I will talk to her. Thank you." Wulfgar said as he finished his coffee.

Rouni smile, she then said "Is there anything special I can get for you, like a special item you cannot get through the replicator?"

"I appreciate it but there is nothing I can think of Ma'am." Wulfgar said with a smile.
