USS Templar | San Francisco Fleetyards

Most Captains wouldn't bother to pick up a load of fresh ensigns, but I think it might be very well worth it. Aside from that, the ship needed to undergo a refit, and be resupplied we'll be heading out close to Klingon territory for some basic patrols and freighter escort duties. Shamar was going over a list in his head, priding himself as he stood at the gates waiting for his fresh batch, and still thinking most Captain's wouldn't even meet their newest facest until after they were on the ship.

Smiling at the young group of both Marines and Fleeties.

"Good Morning, I hope graduation hasn't made you too light on your feet. I am Captain Shamar Jabari Bem, USS Templar, and let me be the first to shake your hands, Ensigns." His voice was crisp, strong and deep like a man whose served his years.

Taking his time as he walked to each and every new officer or enlistee of his respective crew shaking their hands memorizing faces with names.

"Because you are Ensigns, you most likely will be bunking in fours or threes, some of you may even be in fives." He told them he could hear some disgruntled moans and curses about the Academy under breaths, he chuckled. "Ha, ha don't worry now lets get a move on, borders don't patrol themselves!"

Turning around he began to walk leading the group to their own transporter pad, before he put his foot on the pad he turned to the group and stated, "oh and just one more thing. I hope you don't expect to be in your actual trained positions if there's one thing I'm good for and that's teaching you another officer's job because if someone goes down you have to pick up for them and keep us going." With a charming wink and smile he stepped onto the transporter pad leading the fresh faces to the Templar.

He waited in the transporter room, "well looks like we're all here in one piece everything where it should be." Senior officers and department heads walked in, "on your data padd you will be escorted by your department head and partnered with either a Senior Officer or Non Commissioned Officer, if you are paired with an NCO treat them as you would treat me, got it?"

A mumbled and over all yes sir, before he last stated. "At the end of your respective tours meet in the mess hall where our Chief of Boat will have a set of Petty Officers show you to your quarters, and welcome aboard the Templar!"

Academy Grounds > USS Templar

Esperanza was so happy, she was an Ensign and could proudly wear her jacket, her uniform. Sighing with pride as she and Colleen, couldn't help but be excited as they raced to a meeting spot where all the newest batch of the Templar's crew was to meet at, waiting for their Captain to pick them up.

"I can't believe we got our first assignment together, oh gosh," she replied so excited, "I hope we get to bunk together that'd be great, oh Colleen this is, this is great I hope I make a good nurse."

Espy then spotted Travarius, the half El-Aurian or so he liked to brag. "Trav!" She shouted, running up she gave him a hug, "doesn't he look good Colleen?" Espy dragged the poor boy to Colleen, still she was overrun by excitement of the very moment.

Then everyone quited down, and there he was with a Good Morning greeting. Each one parted a way for him as he shook their hands and greeted them all in a different manner. "Ah Ensign Robles, what a beautiful name, and a wonderful nurse." He stated shaking her hand, before moving on to her friends.

"Ensign McAllister, look at you a fine engineer, a fine engineer you'll do great with our Chief." He then shook her hand and found his way to Trav.

He took a step back looking Trav over, "ah ha you must be Ensign Jordan our newest helmsman, I trust you'll do a good job." Captain Bem playfully tapped his shoulder with his fist before shaking the young man's hand.

Espy couldn't believe it, he actually greeted all of them even the marines! It took a while before he got up to the front and spoke again while others groaned about bunking with people, Espy, Trav and Colleen were excited just hoping they could be that lucky. Then patroling borders is what got Colleen and Trav groaning. Espy hit both of them upside the head, giving them what they called, 'the mother stare.'

What did he mean by not in their actual positions, didn't he just... But he ... Espy's mouth couldn't have dropped any lower, before Colleen and Trav hit her upside the head respectively of course.

In the transporter room on the Templar he told them exactly what would be happening, and just like that the three friends were whisked away to their different departments. Dr. Kincade, Angus and she would be paired up with Nurse Bertinelli, the head nurse or as she soon found out was called, "The Italian Dragon."

Raviv Kiriakis, a fine senior officer would pair up with young Trav, and he also doubled as the Department Head for now anyway. While Colleen was matched with Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class McCain, Corrina the Department head was a country boy, Dustin Montgomery. He met with his newbies for a brief moment before leaving them with Chief McCain, better known for her bark than her bite.

Outside Transporter Room |
Templar |

Standing there with her mouth slightly agape, Colleen quickly recovered and slapped her friend upside the head as Espy dragged Trav over and continued to babble. "Don't act like a kid in a candy store Espy! Its a sign of weakness." she hissed before being huslted away to engineering and being paired up with Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class McCain, who looked like she could chew Colleen up and spit her out in a moments notice.

"Ens. McAllister." she said in way of interduction as McCain gave her a once over that was extremely unconfortable.

"Look here newbie, I won't sugar coat things for you nor will I cover for your ass, so if you screw up my engineering then I'm going to kick your ass, clear."

Bristling at the other womans tone Colleen nodded. "Crystal- just don't expect me to clean up your messes either." she tossed back as she entered the department that she was going to call home for the next few months.

Taking a deep breath Colleen breathed in the scents and smells of oil and the hums of a warp core operating at full compasity, something she would never tire of and that never failed to calm her down.

This is what she was called to do, was ment to be- "Hey McAllister, can't believe it but we landed the same ship."

That voice... Colleen opened her eyes to see the one man that had managed to get under her skin..Connor O'Malley. "If it isn't Mr Macho- don't you have a Brigg to look after?"

"Only if your in it."

"Connor leave me alone, I don't need this here- I don't want-" she was cut off by him kissing her to which she pulled away from and promtly decked him, sending him flying across the floor on his back and into a console. "I said leave me alone- You must have a thick head."

Suddenly Colleen heard a unmistakenable snap-click of a set of boots and cringed as McCains voice nearly roared. "What the hell did you do?!"

Outside the Transporter Room | Templar

Corrina could think of a few words herself, if she wasn't too busy screaming at her daughter for being an idiot. Indy didn't care but be a stupid happy Grandpa. God she was too young for this bullshit. "Get your ass out of my sight you crapshit for a security officer, and you engineer get your smiling face over here and lets go. NOW!"

Without bothering to glance at Connor, Colleen whipped around and came within a foot of McCain, standing there at attention as she looked at her defiently, eyes still blazing and her mouth in a thin line. "Ma'am?" she asked, knowing an ass chewing was about to happen.

"Let's go, to Main Engineering. I don't have time for your childish spats with other incompetent officers on this ship." She bitched, walking with perfect coordination, "and would you stop rolling your eyes and making self comments, it gets so annoying after the first two times." She remarked heading into the turbolift, "Main Engineering." She stated, sighing heavily, "look I don't mean to bark as much today, its just been a hard... long, day and I'd much rather be drinking whiskey right now then bothering with you, no offense."

"Non taken, trust me I 'd rather be in the bar too." Colleen retorted as she folded her arms across her chest as she leaned against the wall of the lift. "Sorry, that won't happen often."

"Often?" McCain stated, "It better not happen at all, damn green horns, what they do pick you guys up on the side of the road? Don't they teach discipline anymore?" She ranted, exiting the turbolift, "lets go I'll show you to your station." She stated matter-of-factly, walking past the sleeping Dusty Montgomery, "that's our boss, and this." She paused, pointing to an upper level, "is your new station, please don't let the anti-matter chambers out of your sight they're your new babies for the next two months." McCain retorted, "and oh the next time you wanna fold your arms while your with me I suggest you stand at parade rest."

Colleen snapped her mouth shut as a soft "Damn" escaped her before nodding and turning to her station. "Great, babysitting anti mater...just what I wanted to do." she muttered as she began going over the lists and readouts. "How long is my shift?" she asked as she glanced over her shoulder.

"Not for another day, head up to the Mess Hall, Indy's waiting for you." Corrina replied, as she threw a towel into a bucket, "get up Dusty you lazy ass." She yelled, yanking him by his collar.

Shaking her head as she just looked at McCain, Colleen cast a glance at her 'boss' Montgomery and decided that McCain must be the real brains behind engineering. "Yes Ma'am." she stated as she left, deciding that whoever 'Indy' was could wait until she found where the bar was on this ship..

Once outside engineering Colleen glanced left then right and shrugged as she turned left and began her hunt for the nearest liquer establisment onboard.

Sickbay | Nurses's Station

Meek. Weak. Never. "No ma'am I can speak for myself," she replied to Bertinelli who examined Esperanza closely, "and I can do my job."

"Can you Robles?" Bertinelli asked

"YES!" Esperanza shouted, she stated heading over to triage, and preparing the bio bed.

Dr. Kincade just sighed, "you are one mean woman."

"I am but you don't have any balls your wife stole that from you," she replied to him, he only winced slightly at her minced words before heading into his office.

Esperanza prepared the bed, and began to work on her simulation surgery, she had to be better than the techs and efficient enough to assist doctors in a jippy. She passed every exam and was not about to ruin it now.

"Oh gimme a break Robles, that's first year shit c'mon." Natalia Bertinelli stated, with hands on her hips, she was smart, fierce and loved all the nurses below her. Robles was wondering if all the other charge nurses would be just as mean!

She kicked it up a notch, working on the stitching making it perfect, and doing it with speed and ease. "Done."

"Its okay," Bertinelli walked away, "alright your on Charlie shift, with me and the others, you'll be next to me the entire time get it you shit faced newbie?"

"YES MA'AM!" Robles stated, as Joanna Kincade walked in shaking her head at all the new nurses and how Bertinelli chopped them out a few left, okay so a lot of them left.

Joanna waltzed over to this small nurse new of course, "charlie shift?"

"Yes," replied Esperanza who meticulously went through all the tools of the trade. Joanna nodded slightly, she was on Charlie Shift, she swore this was pay back by Bertinelli for that Christmas stunt.

"Well, I'm Joanna Kincade, and I guess your my shadow."

"But-"

"No no your with me, trust me..." Joanna stated, as she looked Natalia in the eye, "your with me newbie."

"Oh okay." Esperanza replied not really sure what in the hell was going on. She was continuing a few things, when Bertinelli slid between her and Nurse Kincade.

"Alright green bug, head up to the Mess Hall, Indy's waiting." Bertinelli replied, Espy didn't need another hint, she was out of there in an instant. She practically ran into Colleen, she was so glad to see Colleen.

"Colleen! I'm so glad to see you! My boss is AWESOME!"

Captain's Ready Room | Bridge

Ah. Shamar could hear ensigns running around, all the new fresh faces learning what it means to truly be in Starfleet. "Ha, ha." He laughed heartily. A chime came to his door, "enter," he shouted, as a petty officer entered the room.

"Sir, there's an incoming hail from the USS Moya." Officer Critchon stated, "its urgent."

"Alright," Captain Bem answered heading out of his ready room and to the Bridge, he found his Executive Officer, Detriot Wusan standing there, the look Wusan gave him wasn't one Bem liked.

Wusan exhaled his chest deflated slightly then he ordered, "on screen."

There laid in the path, a graveyard of what was the USS Staten Island, a small vessel aye that... But damn... "Life signs?"

"None." Crichton replied.

Bem looked toward Wusan, "there was a message?"

"Yes, this one." Wusan replied, as he hit a button on his console.

"This is.... The.... S---tat---en Is---and.... Card---Car---Cardass-ians, attack, need ass-is---tance.

"The message ends there," Wusan stated, as he waited for Bem's orders.

"Investigate this, I want a manifest of the Staten Island, I want all information you can gather, and put us on Red Alert, the Cardassians could still be in the area." Bem ordered.

Coridoors |
USS Templar |


"I would draw the boss from hell, reguardless if she is a noncom." Colleen thought as she walked along the coridoor, smirking as she past a group of male ensigns, enjoying the low whistles and glances from them before turning her attention back to Engineering.

She had, before McCain had jumped all over her ass, down loaded a complete systems analysis of the main thrusters and Warp core, along with any recent trouble the department had experienced with any systems.

"Come prepared or don't show up." she muttered under her breath as she quoted a instructer from the academy as she pulled the padd out of her back pocket and began to read as her past sickbay and Espy ran out with a excited look on her face. "Hey, I told you I'm not going in there for a physical- I had one already this year!" Colleen joked as her friend all but hugged her.

"Colleen! I'm so glad to see you! My boss is AWESOME!"

"At least one of us has it golden then- I'm positive McCain hates me- no I take that back, She told me so; I'm like a second class citizen that has no ideas or thoughts unless they come from her." Colleen stated as she continued walking, falling into step with Espy.

"Like for instance, we could have more shield power if we rerouted the power source for main thrusters a hair and still have more then enough power to keep them in high running compasity." to explain she held her padd in front of Espy and showed her a graph. "See? But I'm telling you she probably won't listen because I don't have more then one damn pip on my collar."

"And get this, she expects work suits- I happen to like what I'm wearing and I can do my job in a skirt just as well as pants!" Colleen rolled her eyes and stuck the padd back in her pocket, making sure it was clipped to her belt along with her tricorder, her standered issue phasor on her right hip as she gestured at her uniform, complete with knee high boots.

Espy wasn't saying anything and Colleen glanced at her friend to find her staring off into space and just nodding along with whatever she said..."Hey! any thoughts her-"

ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL RED ALERT PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE NOW ON RED ALERT ENEMY VESSELS WITHIN THE AREA PREPARE BATTLE STATIONS

Red klaxons went off as well as the standered alarm. "There go's my drink." she said as they both turned and hurried back the way they had just come as Connor came around the corner.

"Colleen! Look, I'm sorry for being an ass."

"Out of my way O'Malley."

"I said I'm sorry! I know you have to report back but at least let me walk you there!" Connor grabbed her arm as Colleen tried to push past him. "Please?" he begged, changing his tone and glaring at one officer who gave Colleen a once over as if undressing her.

"Please? Look, I know a short cut that will get Espy back to Sickbay and you to Engineering."

"So do I lame ass- its called energizing!" Colleen retorted as she tugged her arm free and pulled Espy along with her. "We can talk later Connor." she called over her shoulder as she broke into a run...

U.S.S. Templar | Main Bridge

Trav was in complete awe of the bridge its fine smooth surfaces so unlike the academy trainers which he used for so long and now he was finally able to use the right equipment. He had Espy and Colleen to blame for him becomming a Helmsman after all.

They started very slowly at the academy dropping hints here and there about what would be good as a career and in the end he made this a career choice and if he were to ever have any children of his own then he would push the issue for them as well.

As he sat at the controls he heard the distress call and knew with a shiver what it meant it meant possbility of so many things and here he was the inexperinced helmsman at the controls what would he do if the Captain actually gave him an order in Combat? What would he do!?

He gulped and looked at the Captain no shame in being scared right? He wasn't about to pretend to be all brave in front of a man who from what Starfleet Records said to be one of the bravest Captains in all of Starfleet.

"Your orders sir?" Trav asked gulping once more, as he watched the mans reaction and was happy to know that his two friends were not there to see him act this way.

The second batch of new Ensigns assigned to the Templar arrived at the predestinated meeting area to be greeted by a different member of the ship’s senior staff. They gave a speech similar to Captain Bem’s.

Will was ecstatic. He was thrilled to finally be out of cadet uniform and in the crimson jacket of a commissioned officer. He looked down to his right shoulder to see a green strap rather than a red one with the rank of an Ensign rather than Cadet pips. There wasn’t munch time to admire his uniform however. The order soon came to prepare for transport. Once the particles of light and matter that was the new ensigns coalesced into coherent beings, William noticed there were several officers and NCO’s waiting for them. From somewhere, the order “Attention on Deck!” rang out and four years of training, drill, and indoctrination took over. Five cadets moved as a single entity and created a beautiful sound as ten heels clicked together.

Out of his peripheral vision, Will saw a woman wearing security green and the insignia of a full Lieutenant approach him.

“MacLeod?”

“Ma’am yes Ma’am.” He said as if he was on the parade ground.

“On me.” She said as she turned to leave the transporter room. “At ease by the way before you strain something. Geeze kid, who were you trained by? A Marine?”

“Aye Ma’am. Master Sergeant Noah Fraser Ma’am.” He said relaxing only somewhat.

“Sergeant Fraser’s still there?” She said with a chuckle. “He was old hat when I was a cadet. Good to know some things don’t change.” She said. “Alright Ensign, this is how it works. You are my shadow. That means from the moment you wake up the moment I allow you to sleep you are on my like white on rice and a paper plate in a snow storm. Got it?”

Will wasn’t entirely sure what a paper plate had no intention of revealing this to the Lieutenant. “Aye Ma’am.”

“By the way, my name is Robinson. Lieutenant Hailey Robinson. Our Division Officer is Lieutenant Commander Parker Grayson. Now normally, I’m in Investigations but right now I’m commanding third platoon of Gamma Shift. Primarily because I’m teaching you to take it over. The Platoon NCO is Chief Roland Spears. Now remember, while the PNCO is the second in command, he or she will undoubtedly always have more time in than the Platoon Commander. That means that while they will follow your orders, it would behoove you to listen to their advice. However you are still an officer. Starfleet doesn’t devote four years training you how to lead others so that crewmen can give you orders. Listen to their advice but don’t let them bowl you over.”

“Aye Ma’am.”

“MacLeod do you know how to say anything else?” She said stopping and turning sharply to look at him.

“Of course Ma’am. Would the Lieutenant prefer I choose a different way of acknowledging her?”

“The Academy is over Ensign. I want people under my command not robots. Fix it.”

“I shall.” He said.

“Better.” She replied as she turned to continue on.

After a while they came to the security offices where about twenty or so enlisted members of security stood waiting. They came to attention the moment the two officers entered the room.

“Ensign MacLeod, meet 3rd Platoon. This is Chief Spears.”

“Welcome aboard Ensign. This is a standard full boat security platoon aboard ship. Four Squads, six deep lead by a Petty Officer. They’re normally stationed throughout the ship in Fire Teams for maximum coverage. On average each shift will have three platoons deployed with a fourth either held in reserve or on roaming patrol.”

“MacLeod would you care to do the honors? Inspect them and then get them deployed.”

“Aye ma’am. He said before turning to the assembled security officers and coming to attention.

“By my command, FALL IN!” he said in his best command voice. “Open ranks, MARCH!” as he said this, he executed a left face and marched forward four steams before coming to a halt and doing an about face. He was now right next to the first Squad Leader. He checked the alignment of each squad before marching three steps beyond the first squad, executing a left face and saying allowed “Ready, FRONT!” He then went through and inspected each person before closing the formation.

“You will deploy by Fire Teams to your predestinated areas of operation. Dismissed!” He said before turning to Lieutenant Robinson.

“Right off the parade ground. Very good Ensign. That’s probably the only thing you learned on the parade ground that will have any level of relevance here.

As she said this, a voice came over the com system.

ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL RED ALERT PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE NOW ON RED ALERT ENEMY VESSELS WITHIN THE AREA PREPARE BATTLE STATIONS

“Shit. Alright Ensign, this is our battle station. From here you can monitor your entire platoon and coordinate with other platoon leaders. For now don’t touch anything. Just watch and prepare yourself. Chief, arm him.” She said as Roland went to a weapons locker and tossed MacLeod a standard issue Type II hand Phaser.

Templar | Corridors > Sickbay

"At least one of us has it golden then- I'm positive McCain hates me- no I take that back, She told me so; I'm like a second class citizen that has no ideas or thoughts unless they come from her." Colleen stated as she continued walking, falling into step with Espy.

"Wow... thats awful," Esperanza replied, "Um okay..." Esperanza was completely lost all she was pretty colors, "that looks pretty... Good. Yeah." Blush. "Um well she should you're really smart Colleen."

Esperanza rolled her eyes, skirts. Eck! "Well there are a lot of dangers in Engineering, Collen. I mean I think work suits are for safety reasons." Then a sigh, "you know. I mean, I personally like my scrubs, but I can't wear them or anything yet... I have to earn that right apparently." Esperanza just shook her head, Colleen was always sleeping around. She hoped that one day it would stop so Colleen could find true love one day.

"Um-" Espy was cut short

ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL HANDS RED ALERT ALL RED ALERT PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE NOW ON RED ALERT ENEMY VESSELS WITHIN THE AREA PREPARE BATTLE STATIONS

"Uh oh." Esperanza and Collen split, Espy headed straight back for Sickbay.

"Robles on me, lets go." Nurse Kincade stated, "here get this on." Kincade tossed her a pair of scrubs she quickly changed into them.

"Lets get to triage." Kincade was leading Robles there, when Bertinelli stopped them both dead in their tracks.

"The hell are you two doing here, get in the medic gear and head out to EMS Station 4." She ordered, Joanna just had this look in her eye just this, what in the hell kind of look.

Natalia glared back the Death Glare, that was enough for Joanna to snatch Espy and both changed out into Medic Gear, heading out of sickbay. "Alright kid you know meatball stitching right?"

"Yes, I aced that class, heh I like to sew in my spare time... you should-"

"GREAT LETS GO!" Joanna shouted yanking Espy into a turbolift.
