Mission: Task Force 72 Joint Post

This post serves as an in character collaborative writing experience. We'll work content out, writing our characters in real time, and give me a chance to correct issues in real time.

Take time to think how your character reacts to the situation and the changing comments.



There was something about that new station smell that made Edward's eyes twitch. Maybe it was the polish that went into the floors, or maybe it was the years spent on warships not scientific ones. Either way, a squeaky clean station rubbed the Captain a werid way. Looking over at Kyla, he raised an eyebrow, as she huffed on her dog bed. She'd much rather be with the Admiral in his office, playing with Kevin, but instead was stuck here watching Command Candidates. The Swiss Shepherd was bored, and didn't bother to hide it.

Edward chuckled slightly, shaking his head and looking down at his PaDD. He'd had to room rearranged, the conference table removed and a desk added that he saw on one side of. Opposite him was a pair of chairs, and a larger lounge space created further back. It create the illusion of a regular office. A collection of annoyed crewmen had tried to hide their confusion, but had failed in doing so. Captain Drake was a fan of the more traditional set up, a large boardroom table was wasted on him. "Computer," he said aloud to the get the system listening, "please have Lieutenant Commander Turner come next." There was a chime, and somewhere a message was delivered to the next Command Candidate.

Toni, afraid she would be late, getting to the Conference room, but once there she a computer voice ask her to have a seat and wait until she was called. However, she didn't mine that at all, as it gave her a chance to catch her breath and take in the contrast between the the her quarters and the immaculate decor and sparkling floors. She made a whispered comment."Very impressive."

Her comm-badge chimed and she received a message to enter the Conference room, Taking a deep breath, she stood from the chair she had taken nearest the door. Turning to face the door she waited for it to allow her entry then walked in to a strangely arranged room. Taking a stance in front of the desk where Captain Edward was seated she announced her presence. "Lieutenant Commander Toni Turner, reporting for duty, Sir." Taking a stance in front of the desk where Captain Edward Drake was seated, she announced her presence. "Lieutenant Commander Toni Turner, reporting for duty, Sir." As the words came out of her mouth, a Swiss Shepherd sat up on it's bed, it's ears perked. Most strangers would have been frightened by the rather large dog, however Toni could tell the dog was friendly, and would remain so unless the Captain signaled it to attack either verbally or with a hand signal.""Mind if I pet your dog?" she asked politely. But the dog had advance close to her, and she couldn't resist scratching it behind it's ears.

Realizing the Captain hadn't had time to give her permission, "Sorry, sir." I have one of my own in the cargo bay. He's a West German Black Shepherd. and his name is Ruger, but I realize talking about our dogs is not why you sent for me."
