Lieutenant Commander
Location: Pacific NW
Star Trek: Shepard; Recovery, Chapter 7 (part 2)
Maybe chapter isn't the right thing to call these sections, anyway, here is the next part. Enjoy.
Mess Decks
LTJG TNoor sat across the table from her friend Tara. The two had been roommates at their last duty station. Despite the Vulcan TNoors reserved demeanor, they had become friends. In accordance with her usual behavior pattern TNoor studied her friends actions pensively before commenting.
Tara, busy studying the design of the antique phaser II pistol in her hands remained oblivious to TNoors attention. She flipped the phaser over and cycled it through various power levels, finding the weapon well maintained despite its age.
TNoor knew that there was more going on behind the facade-of-focus on the weapon. For as long as TNoor had known the green Orion, Tara did her most intense thinking with something else occupying her external senses. TNoor preferred to meditate in quiet with as few distractions as possible.
Tara had tried once to sit in reflection following the serene and still Vulcan method and found it too quiet, too stifling. She hadnt lasted five minutes and had instead solved her quandary, what to do about a certain pair of LTs who were interested in her, while rock climbing.
TNoor found Taras behavior quite illogical on the surface, but fully embraced the
infinite diversity in infinite combinations
philosophy which allowed her to accept that Tara was different, and that Taras way of thinking probably complimented her own.
Finally, TNoor broke the silence, Tara, your abilities are more than adequate for this mission.
Tara looked up and smiled at her friend, I hope so, but how come I feel so nervous?
One of the things TNoor endeavored to do as often as possible was to avoid telling non-Vulcans when they said something illogical. She also stopped herself frequently from letting them know when they referred to any one of a plethora of illogical emotions. In her limited experience, neither response generated a useful reaction.
TNoor had not yet, however, grasped the subtleties of rhetorical questions, and tended to take them literally. So, expounding on her knowledge of humanoid physiology she began, When exposed to the uncertainty of a new and threatening experience the sympathetic nervous system triggers a flight or fight response in most humanoid species, in the case of Klingons a fight response. This results in large amounts of adrenaline being dumped into the body in preparation for possible combat...
She stopped when Tara began laughing gently, No, no.... I know that. What I mean is that I dont feel as confident as you do in my abilities, thats all.
TNoor raised an eyebrow, That is illog... then stopped herself. I appologize.
Tara leaned across the table towards her friend, a sad, pensive look on her face. TNoor, she said, then after a pause added, Got you! and smiled, all trace of uncertainty and apprehension gone.
TNoor merely allowed herself the slightest upward curl to one side of her mouth. Indeed, was all she said.
The Green Orion clarified her thoughts, which her friend had failed to ascertain, I was just wondering how many shots Id get with this before the Borg adapted, and whether it would be worth it to see if theyve got anything bigger in the armory. Did you see the weapon that female crewmember carried by? It looked like it fired projectiles instead of energy.
TNoor nodded, I did observe it, and her animated demonstration. Apparently the weapon has a considerable rate of fire. Perhaps you should attempt to acquire it for this mission?
Standing first, Tara shook her head. Its not my style, but Im going to check with the weapons locker. Want to go with me before you go to the bridge?
Standing as well, TNoor replied, I will accompany you.
Commander Ridgeways Quarters
It took several seconds for Ridgeway to identify the faintly metallic tapping from outside the closed door of his temporary stateroom as a knock. He realized that he shouldnt have been surprised at the lack of door chimes, due to the overall Spartan-like layout of the
, but he was anyway.
The fact that upon opening the door he saw Dulak actually tapping on the bulkhead next to the doorway with a small piece of metal actually did take away some of his feeling of personal responsibility at not recognizing the knock as such.
What are you doing, Ensign? Ridgeway asked.
Dulak pocketed the piece of metal and stood to attention facing the Commander. Sir, Ensign Dulak, reporting as ordered.
At ease Dulak. I can see you are here, what I meant was, why were you tapping on the bulkhead.
Dulak relaxed his stance slightly, spreading his feet and clasping his hands loosely behind his back. I am sorry sir. On Cardassia, when there is no electronic bell at the door, one knocks on a sounding plate beside the door with a small stone. Is there some other way to do this?
Ridgeway laughed, Yes, by all means. You simply rap on the door itself with your knuckles, like this. Ridgeway demonstrated, then motioned for Dulak to enter the stateroom.
Mr. Dulak, your personnel file showed you as being from Bajor, is that wrong?
Dulak shook his head, No sir, I assure you, I grew up mostly on Bajor. I lived on Cardassia only until my seventh year, when my father was transferred to Bajor. He was only a low-status maintenance man, and brought me to Bajor without permission. When he was killed by a resistance bomb, I had no one in the military to vouch for me, so I was orphaned.
Ridgeway said, sympathetically, I am sorry Mr. Dulak. Please, have a seat. Ridgeway motioned towards the now vacant lower bunk. Dulak sat, awkwardly.
The reason I brought you here was I wanted you to know that I am sending you on an away mission with Lieutenant Townsend and Lieutenant Tara. Your job, due to your studies of both alien technology and computers, is to patch into the Borg computer and capture any data you can without getting assimilated. Tara is going for security purposes and Lieutenant Townsend will be conducting tricorder scans to gather information that way.
Ive reviewed what I could of your service and training records. I am quite impressed with your performance at the academy, and while Id like to get you a lot more training before throwing you to the wolves, I dont have that luxury.
The Borg, sir.
Ridgeway took a second to look puzzled, What?
Its the Borg, sir. Throwing me to the Borg. Dulak said with a totally straight face.
Not able to decide if the Ensign was attempting a joke, or merely didnt understand the expression, Ridgeway let it slide.
Right. Hopefully, the Borg wont see you as a threat and Tara wont have to engage them, but I also cannot say that there is no risk involved. Are you ready for this?
Dulaks reply surprised Ridgeway, I would like to be able to take along some computer algorithms I wrote at the academy. I have them...
Ridgeway cut in abruptly, By some computer algorithms, do you mean you actually wrote a program to go along with your practicum paper at the academy?
While he couldnt be sure what the Cardassian version of looking sheepish was, if Ridgeway were forced to put money on it, he would have bet that it was the look Dulak gave him next. Uh yes sir, that is one of them.
Are you aware that Starfleet has classified the paper, and I must imagine the program as well?
Dulak looked to the ground and shuffled his feet in an entirely too human manner. I am aware of the papers status sir, but I hadnt completed the program by the time I left the academy. No one has seen it yet.
It was Ridgeways turn to look uncomfortable. Why do I get the feeling that you didnt compile this program on academy time Mr. Dulak?
Dulak met Ridgeways eyes and smiled. That assessment is correct Commander. There were so many security protocols in place and so much oversight on all official class projects that I never would have been able to complete the program using official channels.
Ridgeway did not smile back, inhaling deeply, turning away and exhaling slowly before facing the Ensign again. Did it ever occur to you that those protocols, that oversight was in place for a reason?
Dulak looked at Ridgeway, puzzled. Why, yes it did sir.
Choosing his next words carefully, Ridgeway spoke slowly. Mr. Dulak, I highly suggest that unless you want your Starfleet career to be a very short one you had better not pull any stunts like that while under my command. You are not on Cardassia. You are not an orphan living by his wits on occupied Bajor. You are a Starfleet officer now, and we have rules, rules I expect you to follow.
Commander, I assure you, I wrote that program solely for the benefit of the Federation. I...
Ridgeway raised a hand, cutting Dulak off. Actually, Yes Sir was the answer I was looking for, but since you brought it up... You misunderstood me Ensign. I dont have a problem with you writing a computer program. In fact, I encourage you to keep that intellect of yours busy with innovative solutions and new ideas. What I meant was, dont do it behind my back. Lieutenant Townsend and myself expect to be kept in the loop.
And of course, I am sure Master Chief Rexar will want to know about your projects as well. Just make sure not to forget that your primary duties take precedence, once we reach the
that is.
Now about these programs. Ridgeway moved on, considering the matter closed for the time being. I assume they will help you interface with the Borg data? My concern is that the program not get assimilated and integrated into the Borgs programming. I really wouldnt want to be responsible for giving them something they can use against the Federation.
Dulak nodded, relieved at the switch in topics. Well sir, I wrote the program with built-in security measures. If any part of the code is accessed externally the program fragments and becomes random noise. There is no way the Borg could assimilate it.
Ridgeway grinned. I wish I shared your confidence Mr. Dulak, but Im going to trust you on this one. Besides, in an hour even if they do hijack your program, that Borg ship has an appointment with a main sequence red giant. Whether or not they access your program wont matter after that, so it will be a good test of your programming skills.
Better get to the transporter room. Ill let Lieutenant Townsend know you are on your way.
Dulak snapped to attention before responding, Yes Sir, pivoting and stepping out of the stateroom.
Ridgeway wiped the back of his hand across his forehead, wondering if his initial meet and greets with the rest of his crew would be as interesting. He hoped they wouldnt.
Transporter Room
Holding true to the minimalist design throughout the rest of the warp tug, the transporter room was no surprise. While no one had to actually stoop to stand on the transport pad, anyone much over two meters would have. The pad itself was suspiciously similar to the emergency models used in larger ships, with the exception of only having a capacity of four. The design specs actually indicated five average sized humans as the high-end transport load, but those five would have to be quite friendly.
To make matters worse, clearances were so tight that the control console was actually designed to pivot to allow transportees access to the pad. On the positive side, it was possible for the transporter operator to high-five members of the transport team prior to transport without either of them moving from transport positions.
Luckily, this transport was only three officers, and minimal equipment.
After Lieutenant Townsend, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tara, and Ensign Dulak stepped onto the pad, Crewman Parker, the Thompson SMG now slung over one shoulder, swung the control console into position and looked back at Commander Ridgeway, standing behind her. Sir, I have coordinates locked in. Ready to transport as soon as we drop out of warp.
Ridgeway looked at his team. Tara now carried an odd-looking rifle. It wasnt any kind of phaser rifle Ridgeway recognized. He decided to wait until they came back to ask. Becoming more proficient at the com panels he quickly punched up the bridge, Chief Prak, we are ready to transport as soon as you drop us out of warp. Make sure Lieutenant TNoor stays on those sensors. I want to know the second the Borg start taking advantage of not playing deflector shield. Oh and whats the ETA on the subspace transmitter?
Gruffly, from the other end of the circuit came the Tellarites voice, Are you finished? Followed by a pause and some mumbling Ridgeway couldnt quite make out. Davis says another ten minutes on the transmitter. Then with the com circuit still open, Helm drop us out of warp, ahead half impulse.
The transition from warp was audible as a previously unnoticed hum subsided. Ridgeway even felt a slight transition as the inertial dampeners adjusted.
The Were at impulse, go ahead and transport, over the com channel seemed redundant. Ridgeway said, Energize, and watched as his team was engulfed in the familiar glimmer and dulcet tones of a federation transporter before disappearing.
From the way Parker monitored her console, Ridgeway didnt need to say it, but he did anyway. Keep a lock on them.
Without looking back, Parker said, Aye sir, and continued what she was doing.
Immediately, Ridgeway regretted opting to send the away team over on com silence. Even though he knew it made their detection less likely, he still yearned to know what was going on. It was the first away team he had ordered as an acting CO, but not one he would have chosen for that distinction. Now all he could do was wait.
Borg Vessel, Designation unknown
Central Hub
The atmosphere onboard the Borg vessel was far cooler than the
and was also noticeably thinner. It also became quickly obvious that the oxygen level was marginal, and the smell of ozone from damaged equipment was strong. All in all, it was amazing that a ship this damaged had even minimal life-support, so no one on the away team commented.
Lighting was dim and greenish in color, some flickering regeneration bays were visible from where Townsend stood, back to back with the other two members of her away team, but no drones were visible. Clear. She said quietly.
Dulaks view was much more spectacular, if disturbing. He stood, facing towards some of the most damaged sections of the ship. Actually, from his perspective, damaged was a bit of a misnomer. Missing was more accurate.
Both above and to the left, through mangled support beams, equipment dangled loosely from warped sections of bulkhead. Wires and what he could only assume was fiber-optic cable hung, like Spanish moss from a dead tree, in various places. The most unsettling part of the view was that in over half of his field of vision, the only thing visible was the star field outside with the
in an almost head-on view. Three tractor beams emanated from the tug, trisecting the visible backdrop of space in approximately even sections. Dulak swallowed, trying to moisten his throat to speak. Clear, he croaked.
From behind him her heard the unmistakable sound of a weapon slide being racked back, followed by the ramping-up hum of capacitors charging. Taras voice reached his ears, quiet yet clear. Weve got company. Then much more quietly, practically a whisper, and questioning, Master Chief?

M&S No. 1 Company "Taking Environmental Sustainability Seriously"
Marks & Spencer is the No. 1 company UK consumers name when asked which companies take environmental sustainability seriously, according to research conducted for the Carbon Trust.
The same study finds more than two-thirds (68 percent) of respondents are unable to name a single company that is taking environmental sustainability seriously.
Rounding out the top five companies with sustainability cred, according to consumers surveyed, are the Co-operative Group, Tesco, BP and Sainsbury's, in that order.
The research, conducted amongst 1,819 adults by YouGov, found that only 5 percent see businesses as being most effective in helping the environment when compared to environmental pressure groups, academics and the government. By contrast, 22 percent of those surveyed see businesses as being the most effective in helping the economic recovery.
Researchers says that this suggests that even companies that are communicating their actions to be more sustainable are not yet directly associated with taking responsibility for the environment. Instead, the public sees the quest for a greener future as lying in the hands of environmental organizations such as nonprofits and watchdog groups.
The study also finds the demand for green products appears to be increasing with only 6 percent saying they are less likely to buy a sustainable product and/or service than five years ago, while almost three in 10 (27 percent) say they are more likely. Increased concern about the personal impact of what they buy on the environment is the most important reason for this (45 percent) and 43 percent of the public surveyed said they lead a more sustainable life than they did five years ago.
Eight in 10 Americans don't believe companies are addressing all of their environmental impacts, and only 44 percent trust companies' green claims, according to research published last year by Cone Communications.
Marks & Spencer, National Grid, Aviva, RSA and BSkyB are the top five performers leading Carbon Clear's most recent annual report ranking carbon measurement and reporting efforts of FTSE 100 companies.

NCH CEO: Those who surround us make our efforts worthwhile
Last Wednesday Gulfshore Life magazine honored six "Men and Women of the Year" — Joseph Catti, Tom Everist, Barbara Jordan, Simone Lutgert, Dolph von Arx and, I am pleased to say, me.
I thought you might be interested in what I said in receiving the award:
"In accepting this honor tonight, I know that I do so as a representative of all the dedicated men and women at NCH Healthcare System, who answer the health-care needs of our community every hour of every day.
"All of us at NCH are driven by two guiding precepts, both of which, I believe, have great bearing on this honor we share tonight.
"First is the overriding desire to use our individual ability and knowledge and success for the purpose of helping others.
"Our talent, energy and ambitions, harnessed in a selfless manner for the good of others, is really the noble goal that defines our individual success. And that is true whether we are trying to solve underlying community economic and social problems, creating a new museum for our children, leading the fight against abuse in our community, building the United Way to benefit the less fortunate among us or any of the other selfless purposes for which we are honored tonight.
"That's the real measure of a significant person — one who contributes to raising expectations and elevating society through helping others.
"And that leads to the second precept we hold dear at NCH — that 'We are all in this together.'
"Throughout this room we are blessed to be in the presence of friends, colleagues and relatives, all of whom we need to realize our goals for our community. Clearly, truly significant goals cannot be reached through individual efforts alone — be it caring for the sick, educating the next generation, nurturing children, protecting the abused, removing barriers for the disadvantaged, preserving the environment, growing the economy. To reach our objective, we need to harness the power of a team. That's what I'm blessed with at NCH — a team of 3,600 colleagues, 630 doctors, 24 board members and countless other significant people, including most especially, a supportive and loving family.
"All of us honored this evening are similarly surrounded, supported, educated and shaped by a team of caring individuals who, working together, make this extraordinary community the special place it has become."
Allen S. Weiss is the president and CEO of Naples Community Hospital. E-mail: email@example.com

It was my birthday week! It's exciting to be so old. I think so. How can it not be? I guess the philosopher in me is talking. But I do think about the miracle of being alive at all, much less in this way, in this peculiar body and mind and spirit and time and state and country and, and, and
with these great friends and folks . . .
I do feel dangerously lucky. Some part of me is afraid to celebrate for fear I will be punished for feeling this happy.
After so many catch-up phone calls and notes and so forth, I have a small tower of new books to read. Among them this funny book, Overqualified, by Joey Comeau, which is collection of hysterical letters addressed to different corporations, requesting a job.
And I should now be the envy of all the prose poets out there . . . because Jim found a hardback copy of The Prose Poem, an International Anthology, in great condition! Yep. The Michael Benedikt anthology from 1976! Amazing. (It's the best anthology of prose poems out there, but good luck finding a copy that is in readable shape. I searched everywhere for this book.)

Nov. 23, 2013
EAST LANSING, Michigan – Despite a valiant effort on the road, the Rice Owls women's basketball team was unable to pull off an upset of No. 21 Michigan State, falling 81-68 at the Breslin Center after hanging with one of the nation's top teams for nearly 30 minutes.
Rice (3-3) trailed just 32-30 at halftime and trailed 57-51 with nine minutes remaining in the second half before the Spartans (4-1) began to pull away.
The Owls had four players score in double-figures for the first time since Dec. 13, 2012 against Chicago State, including a team-best 19 points from senior forward Jessica Kuster. The San Antonio, Texas native recorded her sixth straight double-double with the 19 points and game-high 13 rebounds. Kuster moved into fifth place in Rice history on the all-time scoring list, surpassing Pennie Goff's (1981-84) 1,564 career points with 1,575 career points and counting.
Rice also received good performances from Christal Porter (12 points), Reem Moussa (11 points) and Megan Palmer (10 points). As a team the Owls shot the ball 50 percent or better for a second straight game and connected on a season0high six made three-pointers. The Owls even outrebounded the Spartans 31-29 but a 54-30 points in the paint differential and 32 points off Rice turnovers proved to be the difference.
Kuster picked up right where she left off on Thursday, leading all players with 13 points and seven rebounds in the first half against the Spartans. She scored the final six points of the half by converting a three-point play off a steal and coast-to-coast layup and then followed with a made three-pointer from the top of the arch with just six seconds left before halftime.
The two teams played to nine ties and the lead changed hands on eight different occasions in perhaps the most well-rounded half of basketball this season by the Owls.
Rice out-rebounded the Spartans 21-16 in the opening half and held MSU to just 43 percent shooting from the field, while the Owls shot a respectable 40 percent from the floor. Porter helped Kuster in the scoring column with 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting and had five rebounds.
The Owls will return home on Tuesday when they host Sam Houston State at 7 p.m. at Tudor Fieldhouse.

Amazon Best Books of the Month, January 2012: From the dark, curious imagination of Ben Marcus comes another brain melter of a novel. The Flame Alphabet has a pandemic premise--children are slowly killing their parents by speaking--and only gets stranger and smarter from there. When Sam leaves his decaying family behind to seek a cure for his daughter's lethal condition, he winds up in a government think tank that casually eliminates human subjects in its quest for an antidote. Stories don't get much more horrifying than this, but Marcus's absorbing, conversational style makes his twisted bildungsroman as difficult to put down as it is to accept. In an unimaginable situation, Sam takes the only steps that seem possible: He submits, he works, he dreams of his wife and child. This cruel, insightful meditation on societal dysfunction and individual resilience comes from a mind that must be appreciated, even if you find yourself relieved that it's not your own. --Mia Lipman
Featured Guest Review: Jonathan Lethem on The Flame Alphabet
Jonathan Lethem was born in New York and attended Bennington College. He is the author of seven novels, including Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn and two short story collections, and he has edited and contributed to several anthologies. His writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, McSweeney's, and many other periodicals. His latest book of essays, The Ecstacy of Influence, explores the role of writers in contemporary culture.
Ben Marcus is one of the rare inventors in our literary language. We already knew this, from the outrageous stories, and from Notable American Women. When I call him an "inventor," I'm seeking a little working distance from the bland (and often dismissive) term "experimental"--for if Marcus is conducting experiments, he's conducting them out of view, and then unveiling the results as a fait accompli, like an Edison or Tesla or some other secular magician emerging from a laboratory. Marcus's work, with its powerful kinship to the visual arts and music and perhaps even pharmacology, should less be copyrighted than patented. His devices can enchant and wreck your mind. Like I say, we already knew this.
What we didn't know, and I suppose possibly he didn't either until he blew the wrought-iron clawfeet off his own prototype and replaced them with white-walls and a souped-up engine, is how thrilling it would be to see Marcus apply his gifts to something closer to traditional narrative. I say that as if it's some drab operation ("apply" and "traditional") but in fact what The Flame Alphabet has done is open up a kind of wide-screen view of the sort of crazy Ben Marcus movie that was likely always playing in his brain but which he has now taken out for wide release.
It appears that all the giddy anxiety and sorrowful vertigo of Marcus's language was only the leading edge of an implicit sense of pure story, the kind where figures in a landscape struggle to negotiate outrageous danger, loss and mystery. The book is an urban ironist's reply to Cormac McCarthy's The Road, yet in a way I think it is braver and more wrenching even than McCarthy's book (as well as, as you'd expect, more peculiar and funny, and less infused with wearisome machismo) because of the greater degree of complicity it admits, complicity with the disasters that flow through our collective world but are also locatable in each and every one of us if we're ready to meet them there.The Flame Alphabet explodes with human drama without for one single line relinquishing Marcus's lifelong commitment to the drama of a sentence making itself known on the page. In fact, and this is surely the most brilliant thing about the book, it fuses those two notions of drama into one immutable and bizarre whole. That's what's known in show business as a spoiler, but I couldn't resist.
*Starred Review* Teenagers can be described as toxic, no doubt about it. But in Marcus' speculative tale, teens are literally poisoning their parents each time they speak. This ingenious and provoking premise enables the boldly imaginative Marcus (Notable American Women, 2001), recipient of a remarkable array of major literary awards, to explore the paradoxes of family and how the need to communicate can go utterly wrong. As this confounding, heartrending plague spreads from Jewish families to the general population, gravely ill adults flee; teens, who take to terrorizing adults with megaphones, are quarantined; and society breaks down. Claire and Sam, the ailing parents of virulently weaponized Esther, belong to a secret sect of "forest Judaism," which involves listening to mysterious transmissions emitted from the earth. Their tiny, sylvan synagogue becomes the focus of an aggressive stranger, who directs a grim work camp hastily assembled to find a cure for this catastrophic affliction at any cost. Marcus conducts a febrile and erudite inquiry into "the threat of language," offering incandescent insights into ancient alphabets and mysticism, ostracism and exodus, incarceration with Holocaust echoes, and Kafkaesque behavioral science. Ultimately, the suspenseful, if excessively procedural, apocalyptical plot serves as a vehicle for Marcus' blazing metaphysical inquiry into expression, meaning, self, love, and civilization. --Donna Seaman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Editorial Reviews

Simple Assembly despite wrong directions in the box. Connie from Fergus Falls, MN on 04/07/2015 – Verified Buyer
Delivery was fast and items were packed well, but the foot rest and extension was not included in the directions or referenced in any of the pictures on the box. I figured it out and all the parts necessary for a sturdy and stable assembly were included. This is appealing to look at and will work perfectly for my art studio.

Great product Nilda from valencia, CA on 07/30/2015 – Verified Buyer
It was easy to follow instructions on assembly the chair. The color is great. Cons: Only this is there was no instruction to assembly the extra foot rest. Had to go on you tube to find how to connect to chair.

It's "OK" Brittany from New York, NY on 06/15/2015 – Verified Buyer
So, I ordered these chairs assuming they'd be perfect for our bar height desk. If you are 5'3 130 lbs then yes, these may work perfect. For a larger person, they are terrible! And the back forces you to sit up straight, which could be good but overall not what I expected. No good :(

The product was great quality for a good price but too small for my seat. Jordan from Fort Worth, TX on 04/14/2015 – Verified Buyer
The chair was nice and easy to install however the seat was too small for me, a 5'7" female, to sit on. I kind of slipped off the front.

Works perfectly in our clinic! David from Mc Cordsville, IN on 10/15/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is my second order of these chairs, and only because the cloth seating area eventually wears out. Otherwise, excellent chairs!
