ON: //--Training of Specialist Smith: attached to Biology lab-// The team continued to prepare probe planning for the six systems of study. Assisting Ensign Blande and the biology team was specialist Smith. She had been selected to watch over and observe a team in action as part of her management training program. "Specialist Smith, Glad you could join us today. We will be selecting two of our planets in question to accumulate biological, geological, and ecological data. If you'd have a seat next to one of the stations, I am certain you'll find yourself useful." Ensign Blande said starting run some calculations. Specialist Smith took a seat next to one of the consoles. She had a good feeling that today would be a good day to watch the bio guys at work. "Team let's get started!" Blande said calling up the search criteria. "First probe: Atmospheric planetoids within one of the systems deemed uninhabitable." Blande called out. "Searching…" one of the crewman called out. "Searching…" Specialist smith said aloud after she entered the program specifications in. The team continued to enter in the data and read through system after system after the list of planetoids was pulled up. After about an hour, specialist smith was feeling rather tired of looking at the thousand of nearly insignificant planetoids the computer brought up, but she pressed on anyway. "I think I've got one." Ms. Smith called out. "It was nearly picked last time a science ship came this way. It has a nitrogen oxygen atmosphere, but no water on the surface. There are several sub-terrainal caverns that vent open to the atmosphere where the probe could sneak in…" "Interesting," Ensign Blande said. "I suppose that's one, we should gather a few more before we make our decision. "How about some coffee or tea?" Blande said looking at the time. They'd been at it nearly an hour and half now, but the drudgery of searching made it feel like the shift had gone by. "That sounds good. Can we omit the no food or drink rule for the day?" the crewman asked. "I guess so, were only doing computer assisted searching anyways." Blande replied. Most of the team got up and got hot beverages from the lab replicator and began to search away again. After the shift was over the team had narrowed down the selected systems for the probe from over a thousand to a dozen. The next shift for the study would bring that number down to two, where two of the probes destinations would be locked in. After the session Ens. Blande walked over to Specialist Smith. "You did pretty good." She started. "Too bad your going after the botany position. We could use an assistant lab manager… but then I suppose that's true of most of the sciences. Good luck" She said as she turned off most of the equipment and went to lower the lights. OFF Specialist Smith //Science Report – USS CHARON – Star Date:241103.07// C. Smith| Botany| Specialist| Plant Care and harvest| 1) OFF| 2) Plant Care| 3) Office/OFF |Total Science Personnel: 24 (max 29/min 17/skeleton 3)| A) Biology: Biology mixes with a lot of the 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: Lab 1: Local Life Forms – threats, cautions and general study Lab 2: Edible plants identification (works with botany) Lab 3: "Extract of Gouranni Herb for toxic identification" Progress Update: Biology lab assignment #3 is completed for the most part. Additional labs for further sample extraction are being completed this week. Team will continue to research other edible plants of the nearby star systems and look for biological life forms that could pose a threat to away teams. The team will launch several planetary probes to accomplish this task, selecting the most likely planets for the ships destination and then account for research friendly. 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: Lab 1: Toxins and Chemical benefactors of Local Area Lab 2: local medicinal secrets (joined with medical) Lab 3: "Extract of Ka'al root" Status update: The Extract from the Klingon root has nearly been completed. All that remains is to continue to mix the root with the Gouranni Herb for toxin neutralization. Once completed the Ka'al roots will be continued to extracted and placed on reserve for the ships chef should the need arise to visit the selected Gourrani planetoid where the conference is being held. 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: Lab 1: Study of Ecosystems and Geological stability (localized area) Lab 2: Development of celestial objects (localized area) Status Update: Team will work with biology to gather planetary data through the launch of six recoverable probes to be designed by cybernetics. Team hopes to gather from a flyby… the ecosystems and geological stability of the six chosen planets. 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: Lab 1: Trajectory/masses/make up of celestial objects in sensor range Lab 2: Tri-Probe method Status Update: Tri-probe data is still being collected in a nebulous region of ionized gases. The nebula contains several asteroids. Although the largest of these is planetary like, it has no atmosphere and is not in rotation around any central star. The team will continue to collect data until probe no longer has uncharted area to cover. Although most of the probe will self destruct or act as a hazard beacon… the logic unit of the probe will be ejected and rendezvoused with at a later date. 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: Astro-metrics: Star chart review and update (works with helm/navigation) Lab 2: (Partnered with physics) Study of Celestial objects Status Update: Team continues to assist the helm and astronavigators with star charts, while updating, collecting and maintaining the stellar maps. It is likely that team will be able to assist both geo-sciences and physics department again this week. The three teams have worked together on much of the classification and telemetry of celestial objects for several months now. 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.
