//Science Report – USS CHARON – Star Date:241011.14// |Total Science Personnel: 24 (max 29/min 17/skeleton 3)| A) Biology: Biology mixes with a lot of the other other fields, but the lab is utilized for a majority of the ships biological research including microbe study, cellar study, animal and space creature study, the study of Life, how it works, and how it continues to function today and in yester year. Biology Officer in-charge: M. Blande |OFFICE HOURS: 1st shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Ensign Mary Blande takes up the question, why does some food taste the same as others to differing species that are a part of the Federation or encountered by. She will be using the famous simulated holo-cadavers to chart taste buds and tactile sensitivity of over 100 differing humanoids, cross reference listed foods in the replicator, the age of re-sequenced proteins, and naturally grown, raised, or otherwise harvested foods. Progress Update: The team is on shore leave this week. B) Chemistry: Chemistry studies the physical nature of life, the study of chemicals and elements how they react and work together with each other. Chemistry often works with biology and physics to come to a closer understanding of what we explore on the ship. Chemistry Officer in-Charge: T. Yin |OFFICE HOURS: 2nd Shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Timothy Yin encounters new territory as he studies impromptu field chemistry, ranging from medical to weaponry uses of differing common substances on planets within the federation. He will be tasked with this interesting look at survival tactics that could save any Star Fleet personnel in a bind. Status update: Team on Shore leave. C) Geo-sciences: The Geo Sciences department works with anthropology, Stellar Cartography, biology and other fields of science to grab a basis of the physical relationship of ecosystems, glaciations, gravitational pulls, tectonics, and seismic behavior of planets, moons, asteroids, and planetoids. Geo-Sciences Officer in-Charge: I. Castillo |OFFICE HOURS: 1st Shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Isabella Castillo studies the breakdown of ecosystems due to geological catastrophes as well as known situations where life adapted or did not. She will look at fossils of differing worlds, charted research of known worlds going through these changes and also developing simulated holo-programming of these changes. Status Update: Shore leave D) Physics: Physics assists in astrophysics, quantum physics, bio-physics, standard physics. The Physics team answers question in gravitational effects, trajectory, and other physics challenges. Often Physics will work with geology or stellar cartography. Physics Officer in-Charge: S. Ronsett|OFFICE HOURS: 2nd Shift SUMMATION OF CURRENT RESEARCH: Sarah Ronsett studies the possibility of natural phenomena to produce movement approaching and exceeding the speed of light. Status Update: Shore Leave E) Stellar Cartography: Stellar Cartography works with Astro-metrics to provide maps of the galaxy and studies the stars themselves mapping inner corona and outer solar system alike. Stellar Cartography Officer in-Charge: Y. Beindocoff/B. Roberts |OFFICE HOURS: 1st shift/2nd shift SUMMATION OF CURRENT RESEARCH: Yuri Beindocoff and Ben Robert study several logged breakdowns of solar systems including star expansion, nova, expulsion of proto-mater, and compaction. Using the maps of the system and last reports the two will make some conjectures about which star is next, and what impact would a nova from these areas have on its localized regions. Team will also continue to provide maps of regions with in the ships general area. Status Update: Shore leave. F) Cybernetics: The team plays a part in science cybernetics and robotics. Together the team assists in probe assembly, repair, research, and equipment programming. These guys play a major role in research set up, and develop new ways to keep us busy and tooling our research. Cybernetics Officer in-charge: Ollanda |OFFICE HOURS: 3rd shift SUMMATION OF CURRENT RESEARCH: Ollanda and her team take on a project of refitting probes and new probe construction. The probes will be utilized for planet atmosphere and ground exploration, as well as space and deep star penetration studies. Status Update: Team has chosen to remain aboard the ship to help with repairs. As shore leave is optional Team may disembark or remain aboard as they like. G) Anthropology: Part of the anthropologies job is to find out what humanoid life is like in surrounding solar systems. They are basically a historian, but also provide an in-depth analysis in to cultures, societies and the way people live now, then… and on many worlds flourishing, dying, or since perished. A lot of the teams focus is providing a guide for officers to use when approaching a world on or off duty. Anthropology in-charge: G. Yellin |OFFICE HOURS: 3rd shift SUMMATION OF CURRENT RESEARCH: George Yellin begins his one month research study on the T'kon Empire. Its growth and collapse, known lost outposts, and surviving elements or peoples from that time. Status Update: Shore leave is granted to George and his team. George has made some interesting proposals as to some of the archeology of Vulcan is close by he has chosen to reward himself with cultural enrichment and partake in some of the museums and archeological sites close by.
SUMMATION OF CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: Production of edible food for ships mess hall, and continuing care for samples and specimens from ships travel. Status Update: Smith has chosen to care for the plants rather then embark on fulltime leave. Crewman Smith has mentioned her desire to take day trips to planet Vulcan and return to care for the plants at night. I) General Science Lab: The General Science lab will be available at request, but is currently on standby for mission specific research. The lab has holo-emitters for research and is shared with other departments as per request; departments can make use of the lab if unused by the science team. The General Science lab is the ships state of the art science laboratory capable of housing six differing experimentations from any science department. The lab assistant is charged with set up and preparing the lab for each team utilizing the lab. Additional assistants can be utilized if necessary from other labs. GENERAL LAB SCHEDULE: (CURRENT SCHEDULE – one shift open) Geo Sci and Phys team are no longer in need of the General Science lab. As teams are on shore leave, space dock personnel will begin to transfer research back to the their labs for lab completion. REQUESTEE|REQUEST DURATION|REQUEST SHIFT(s)|SUMATION OF REQUEST ----------------------------------------- Commander Arcos Darye| Chief Science Officer| 1st Shift NOTE: The Bridge team is charged with gathering scans for the science department, requesting launch of science probes, and monitoring data for bridge operations. All scans and data can be made available to other departments and teams on request. The science lab teams may also monitor their portion of the scans from the bridge at their request, but is limited to lab masters and the science department officers. +Science Labs All labs are functioning. +Science Stations Bridge station nearing completion of repairs, all other functional +Science sensors/Deflector Sensors and Deflectors are limited due to ships reduced power and present location STAFF STATUS: Commander Arcos| Returns to duty| SD241011.14 Officer injured: 0 (0 major – 0 minor – 0 Severe) Enlisted injured: 0 (0 major – 0 minor – 0 Severe) Promotion Request: Cwm Chris A Smith to Tch Chris A Smith Additions: Addition: Rank|ADDITIONEE|POSITION Commander|Arcos Darye|CSci Training Requested: Training: TRAINEE|POSITION (BYà) TRAINER|POSITION Transfers: VI. Science Commanders comments +labs: Cybernetics team has helped station personnel fix the geo sci and physics labs. The "cyborgs" are heading up testing simulations on science equipment and lab functions +Shore Leave: Your welcome to visit the planet or stations near Vulcan, don't go far we may leave at moment's notice. Research for the time being is optional, those that choose to continue research can do so. Anthropology is set to visit Vulcan archeology. +Training(FYI – Will leave this here for refrence): Petty Officer Rank is required to lead a research team. Science Crew wishing to run a lab should be trained in on lab functions of two differing labs and have gone through lab command training. Once this training is complete rank advancement to Petty Officer 3rd class will be given. (In character is fine) Once lab functions have been mastered a rank advancement to specialist will be given. If you're looking for training approach the science command team and training will begin. |
