Stardate: 60299.0750
Setting: USS ANUBIS, Deck 8, Corridor
David stood leaning on the force field generator watching Sabrina and Thalia walk off... and something seemed amiss. As if Sabrina was hiding something. But as close as they were, he didn't think it would be wise to ask... if he didn't want to entice the wrath of the ILO... and since he was in need of a good workout...
"Hell no" he chided himself, "that would be crazy..besides" as he looked at the generatoe, "I have too much work to do."

Stardate: 60299.0930
Setting: USS ANUBIS, Security Center
After fighting to get the generator in place, David was conducting the diagnostics on the new generator and it worked...as if he doubted it wouldn't. But he wanted to make sure just in case. So after gathering both the security officers on duty and placing them on the 'inside', his tests came back positive.
"Um... could you let us out now sir?" the young Ensign asked.
"Doesn't feel too good to be on the other side of those does it Ensign?"
"Hell no" she replied and the CPO shook his head.
"I agree with Ensign Zarth sir... this is quite... uncomfortable."
"No one ever said that being locked up was shore leave Chief" David said de-activating the field and the two officers quickly stepped through.
"I thank you for your time. Dimissed." the CEO said as they nodded and returned to their duties.
"Well... one task finished..." as his badge bleeped.
"I wonder" he said to himself.
=/\=Lieutenant T'Reni to Lieutenant Dawson=/\=
David tapped his badge. "Go ahead."
=/\=Commanders Foley and Vasquez are requesting your presense in the bases engineering section.=/\=
"Inform them that I'm busy, but will be able to join them around 1300."
=/\=Not good Mr. Dawson=/\= came the disembodied voice of Lieutenant Commander Mercedes Vasquez, =/\=you know how I *hate* to be kept waiting=/\=
**Dammit not now... maybe...** David thought
"I apologize Commander, but Captain Simmons orders were to get the ANUBIS back to peak performance by the time I saw him again... and my hands are tied" he said crossing his fingers and waiting.
=/\=Are you sure that's what the Captain...=/\= T'Reni started to say and David cut her off.
"Captain's orders *are* captain's orders Commander."
He heard a verbal sigh, =/\=How soon can you meet with me and Commander Foley?=/\=
"Best time... 1300 Commander."
=/\=Not a second later Lieutenant.=/\=
"Yes ma'am. Dawson out." and after he closed the channel, sighed heavily himself.
"I better make myself scarce." David said as he headed off to find more work to do... repairs to do... oversee his staff work... anything to keep him busy.
