Mission: A Cry from the Darkness
Location: Engineering
Timeline: backlog
1051 words - 2.1 OF Standard Post Measure

With the mission underway, Rathburn was all about making sure everything would run smoothly. While she was circling around the main computer to keep an eye on different test, checking each area. Questions where answered to team members as she gave a few added orders to them, and of course prioritizing the incoming issues with level of importance. That being the replicator in one of the ensigns quarters that only gave warm water instead of ice cold, fell to the bottom of the list... she had to inform Ensign Johnson of that when he contacted her complaining about it. It was that issue she was dealing with when she saw the medical officer make her way into Engineering.

Kyhl looked around Engineering and smiled. She could respect engineers. What she did for organics, they did for machines. They kept the ship healthy and alive in a way. It took her only a moment to locate their chief. The woman was only slightly shorter than herself, but held herself with a strangely confident aire about her.

"Hello, are you Lieutenant Rathburn?" Kyhl asked as she approached the woman. "I'm Lieutenant Ch'rehron from Medical. I was hoping you'd have a few moments to spare in your busy schedule."

Shaking her head a moment, still pondering the conversation she'd just had with the young Ensign... go figure, security officers tended to think they where all that.... she made her way over to the Medical officer. "I am, lets head to my office for the chat."

"Lead on Lieutenant." Kyhl motioned and smiled before following close behind. She couldn't help but take in the sights of engineering as they walked. A massive ship like Merlin meant a massive warpcore and engineering section to keep it running. This did not disappoint.

"Very impressive Lieutenant." Kyhl said as she looked around at everything. "Very nice."

"Thanks." Rathburn responded as she lead the other officer to9 her office. A swish of the door opened as they stepped in, and after a motion to her chair. Brea stopped and glanced to Kyhl. "Would you like something to drink?"

"I wish I had the time Lieutenant." Kyhl said with a grin. "Especially with the right company, but unfortunately I'm here with a list of demands so to speak."

Bree smirked a little "Seems that's what I'm good for... answering demands" she said as she settled into her seat. After grabbing a PaDD she gave a little nod to the other officer to spill it.

"We're hoping to convert a cargo bay into a holding and quarantine zone. For that we'll need you help. Bio containment shields, isolatation chambers and filtered air being a few things." Kyhl sighed as she read off the list. "I know this is a lot and it's a huge ask. But we could really use the help on this and hopefully keep things from getting out of control."

"And we are wanting to get this done as soon as possible, I'm guessing?" Breana said as she had been jotting notes down. Her way of getting and keeping organized so she could make sure everything got completed.

"As soon as you're able to spare the resources." Kyhl said with a smile. "I can make sure someone is available to your staff to make sure we have everything we need."

Rathburn looked at computer screen a moment with a furrow of brows as she went over a few things. One of the holodecks was down for a couple repairs, and under the circumstances, those repairs could wait and allow her to transfer some of the resources from their to what they needed right now. A slight nod to herself as she also knew she could jostle a few other things around, shut down one of the other cargo bays that was currently being used as a storage area also. After glancing to the time and current list of things she still had to do. Breana looked back to Kyhl as she spoke. "If you can give me about 3 hours I should have all the resources you may need transferred over to that bay."

Kyhl simply blinked for a moment. "Only three hours? That's great!" Looking down at her own Padd for a moment, Kyhl punched in the time estimate. She grinned a little as she looked back at Rathburn. "That would actually put us a little ahead of the estimates, which would be a nice thing to be able to say."

Kyhl stood up from her seat and offered her hand to Bree across the desk. "Thanks Lieutenant! Hopefully the rest of this mission will go this smoothly."

"We can hope so..." Though something told her that the best laid plans always went bad. "I'll get to working on the resources transfer now and will let you know as soon as it's done." Rathburn added as she started moving her fingers over the computer to start working on getting everything done.

Kyhl began moving towards the door and paused. "When the mission is over, mind if I take you up on that drink?" She turned back to face Bree with a slight smile on her lips. "As friends of course, I don't know many outside of Medical and I'd appreciate a different conversation."

There was a slight pause of her fingers as she looked to Kyhl hearing her... Although Bree hyad made friends on the ship, getting out and actually hanging out with them wasn't something she did often. No reason why other than the fact she'd, over the years, had become one to hang out by herself more often then not. Though, she supposed she really needed to work on hanging out with people more ... least she die the old cat lady. A slow smile crossed her features as she nodded. "That sounds good, we may need it when all is done and over with."

"Great!" Kyhl said with a grin. "It's a date!" Pleased with herself that she'd reached out to someone outside her immediate work group, Kyhl happily walked out of Brees office to get everything else on her list.
