Edgar Calvin stood in the medical bay of the Pandora speaking with various people from his ship. He had just finished speaking with Summer and she was now returning to her quarters. Dr. Redwing glanced over at him a few times while treating his patients, watching him to see if he would be disruptive. “Lieutenant, is there nothing else you can do right now? No one’s in a critical condition.”

“Doctor, I’ve already finished my reports and given my senior staff standing orders; I have nothing else to do aside from sulking in the mess hall. I would rather spend my time making sure others are recovering instead of pouting in a corner.” Edgar started but was interrupted by a woman’s sobs in a corner. The sob was distracting enough for Redwing to glance over and look onward in concern. Edgar noted the pointed ears and grief pattern. “Who did she lose?”

Redwing felt a knot in his throat trying to voice the comment, “Her husband.”

Edgar felt his stomach churn as he sympathized with the young woman, thinking how he’d feel if he lost Solek. He moved over to her to offer his condolences. “Excuse me, lieutenant?”

Talona looked up at him and turned away after making eye contact. Edgar felt he had intruded and began to walk away saying only a single sentence in Romulan, “{I’m sorry.}”

As Edgar turned to move away Talona made a grab for Edgar’s hand. “Thank you.”

Edgar nodded back to her, but the exchange was cut short by Redwing’s raised voice at another patient in Navajo before returning to a common language. “Stop that! What are you doing?”

“I’m a medical professional, doctor I know what I’m doing. Don’t interrupt me.” Turek dismissed while using an osteogenic stimulator on his ankle. Redwing looks fairly irritated as Edgar approached the two doctors.

“Doctors, what seems to be the problem here?” Edgar pressed, attempting to enforce mediation with his fading authority. Turek looked at Edgar with a slight malice and irritation, but Redwing looked at him with the expectation the lieutenant would side with him.

“I am simply taking care of my own medical needs so I can remove myself from sick bay as quick as possible. I have no interest in prolonging my experience here.” Turek stated, still using the osteogenic stimulator.

“Lieutenant, this is a serious breach of protocol. There are other individuals with a greater need for that medicine, and we’re already on short supply!” Redwing said to Turek’s commanding officer, gritting his teeth. There was evidence of disdain from Red regarding Turek’s comment about where he was. Edgar looked between the two men. He was clearly plotting something that unsettled both of them with his facial expressions.

“Ensign, after you’re done repairing your ankle I’d like to have a few words with you in private. Then if the Doctor doesn’t mind an extra pair of hands, I’d like for you to assist him with zero protest.” Edgar said, putting both doctors in a state of great irritation.

“My ankle is fixed now.”

“My office is available and if he behaves he is welcome to stay. Besides, I could use someone to replicate more stimulators.” Edgar nodded and directed Turek to move towards the office of the sick bay.

“I had a chance to read your file before the incident aboard the planet. While it doesn’t excuse you from your insubordinate actions under my command, it does shed new light on your motivations. I am sorry that recent events are too similar to your past experience. I just wanted to inform you that I’ll be granting any request to transfer you back to Starfleet Medical.” Edgar began walking back out of the office. Turek was completely stunned.

“Sir, are you feeling all right?” Turek asked, his Hippocratic Oath taking over his opinions.

“I just lost my ship and half my crew, I’ve barely had command for a month and when I took command the ship had already lost half her crew. There are names and faces that were onboard that I never met and now I never can. Yet still, there are others like myself that have seen a mass of death twice now. No, Turek, I’m not feeling all right.” Edgar said, once again trying to walk out of the office.

“I’m sorry sir. I didn’t know.” Edgar left after a nod.

Pandora/Battlefront Crossover: "Out of the Fire"

March 03 2010
ST: Pandora [[Episode 1.3]
ST: Battlefront [[Episode 1.4]


Lieutenant Edgar Calvin’s Personal Log, Stardate 87730.4: The New Orleans has been destroyed by the Undine using a barrage of heavy plasma torpedoes. The ship had a full crew of two hundred, and I should be grateful that over fifty percent have survived at one hundred and seventeen. However, I view any consolations and optimisms minimize the impact of the lives that were lost and thus an insult to their memories.

The chime at Edgar’s temporary quarters broke the silence. “Enter.”

Aron-Mu walked into the room holding a PADD. “Sir, I’ve retrieved the biographical crew manifest from the flight recorder of the New Orleans. The logs and final events are being decrypted right now.”

Eddie took the PADD and started skimming through the first few names in an alphabetical order. His smile immediately turned into a hard frown. “I don’t recognize any of these people, and half of them are dead.”

“Sir...” Aron said trying to bring his commanding officer back to the current situation. “You can’t blame yourself for this. There was no way we could have been prepared for that kind of fight.”

“Aron, what was your experience on the Kobayashi Maru exam at the Academy?” Edgar asked as he tossed the PADD to the bed. Aron followed it and noticed the wide bed had imprints of two individuals instead of one. He quickly snapped back to attention and looked at Edgar.

“Sir I...failed that test.” Aron confessed. It was not something he liked to admit in the slightest and the embarrassment was completely obvious.

“Everyone does; it’s a test of character, not a puzzle to rescue the ship. Starfleet touts that it’s morally required to judge a cadet’s character in the face of a no-win scenario, to see how they handle overcoming the fear of death.” Edgar scoffed as he paced the room. “What a load of garbage! That test has no merit when you actually face that scenario in reality or on the battlefield.”

Another chime interrupted Edgar’s complaining. The two men exchanged glances. “Enter...”

At the door now was Lt. Matoya. “Captain, do you have a moment? I’d like to discuss some things that have happened during your tour on the New Orleans.”

Edgar grimaced an annoyance as he picked up the PADD he had tossed onto the bed. “Apologies, Lieutenant, but I need to assess the status of my crew right now...excuse me.”

Edgar slipped out of his quarters, dodging Maggie and any line of questioning she had hoped to get through. Maggie turned to Aron and looked fairly annoyed, and Aron deflected the look with one of his own. Maggie faltered slightly that her stare had been so easily deflected, but she quickly brushed it off under the pretense of Aron’s species. Maggie turned to chase after Edgar, but Aron stopped her. “Lieutenant, if I may advise you...”

“And what advice could you have for me, Ensign?” She shot at him, marking rank.

“I advise that you leave him alone until he’s ready to talk to you.” Aron said, making his own exit from Edgar’s quarters. “He can be quite unreasonable if you force the issue.”

Maggie scoffed and made her way to the bridge. Upon entry immediately requested to speak to her captain in his ready room. Once inside and the doors shut, Maggie explained what just happened. “What do you suggest sir, I do not know how long we can allow him to delay this.”

Oren-De thought for a moment then seemed to make a note on his console. “Lieutenant Calvin’s interview is your top priority. All of your other duties are relinquished until you have it. I don’t care how you get the information out of him, just do so quickly.”

Have added my pin to the map too. Great idea. The b/f was quizzing me about the [strike]Guild[/strike] Fleet membership and the best I could tell him was that there's lots of us from everywhere. :-D Really looking forward myself to seeing our gang's distribution.

Re:Getting to know you.

OK, here I go. My name is Mike and I'm 38 YO (end of April, I'm 39). I have lived in Tampa for the past 14 years. I work for a very large Health Care company (basically a bunch of hospitals, SNF's, and various other facilites working loosely together under the same umbrella). I have a B.A. in Psych from USF and have been working in health care 4-EVER (usually in a data analyst capacity). I'm currently a Six Sigma Black Belt working with other department to eliminate defects in the processes (variation is EVIL).

Prior to all of this I was in the US Navy for 4 years. Even though there is still a ban, there are a lot of queens in the military (at every rank, every branch, and in every unit). I'm really glad I went, but I'm really glad I'm out. Trust me, it's not as exciting as you would think. I lot of tedious boredom. At least the Marines and Seals onboard made things interesting. I love a man in uniform. Basically my ships (USS Guadalcanal, USS Nassau) only did Medditeranean "cruises". We almost went to Somalia while Clinton was in office (yes, Somalia), but he wised up and brought us back to the Med.

I love games. I remember going to the arcades when I was a kid and played Pac Man and Centipede. My first computer game was called "Wizard's Isle" and it was on a cassette tape that took 6 minutes to play into my Sinclair-Lewis. Gaaawd, I feel old. Now to modern times. I have an XBOX 360 and enjoy Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Borderlands, Dragon Age, and Overlord. For the PC I have Civ 4, Gallactic Civilizations 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, and WoW (been playing since retail).

For Star Trek, I've been watching it for a long time. Not old enough to see TOS when it was on CBS, but saw plenty of it in syndication (we need Horta in the game). TNG was my favorite series. So many good episodes. "All Good Things..." is my favorite. It was the perfect last show. I also enjoyed DS9. I saw some Voyager, but wasn't thrilled with it. My favorite of the movies are 1 (yes, I said the first one), Wrath of Kahn, Voyage Home, and First Contact. I also loved the new one as well and had to buy it on BlueRay.

Other things I love: BSG, B5, Firefly, X-Files, Venture Brothers, Family Guy, American Dad, Phineas and Ferb, Spongebob, Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, Dune (original movie), Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Boondocks, Doctor Who, Les Miz, Wicked, V for Vendetta, and many other things.

March 01 2010
OK, so I know I made a similar post on the forums, but that was before the game went live and the membership went through the roof lol So, here we go again. Why? Well, I for one would love to meet other members in my area (Tampa, Fl) so I'm sure others would like to do the same.. but we gotta know where everyone is right?

Reply with your location, and maybe a bit about yourself if you like. If you have a facebook or myspace that helps too. I'll start:

Names PJ, live in Tampa, Fl. Biochem major at USF. Facebook is PJ Mitchell, USF network.

Some of us in the fleet are already trying to get a RL social group in tampa bay (hence why I wanted to do this). If you are interested, let me know :)
