[CIC]
Lena was leaning back in her chair with her feet up by the side of the console in front of her. She was semi-listening to the chatter from starbase whilst drinking from her mug, sedately watching the hologram in front of her.
The Control Information Center was an oval shaped room, in the middle was a large singular unit which had four primary consoles on each side and the holo projector in the middle. At one side of the room was the boss's office and the other to a turbolift. The rest of the walls in the room were large screens displaying flight plans and squadron statuses, with two secondary consoles at either end of the room. All under red light.
The hologram flickered as another contact entered the edge of the 3D image of the Shran at starbase Columbus, the feed was both a mix of the Shran's sensors and the starbase's.
=^="Bridge to all personnel of the USS Shran, if you are a civilian or any form of non-essential personnel, report to cargo bay 3 for evacuation in the next 30 minutes."=^=
"We're essential personnel right?" Lena asked PO1 Toby Leeward. He nodded slowly then yawned tiredly. "Yeah pretty sure we are." He replied before taking a large mouthful of coffee. The CIC team was small, only eight strong with two officers. Lena took a sip of her tea before resting it on her flight suit as she had before.
"Don't suppose you've seen that blonde FCO have you?" Lena asked, she then lean't forward tapped a few buttons so the field of view on the hologram was enlarged.
"No? Everyone in the CIC's new remember?" He sighed took another sip of his coffee. "Why?" He finished coughing on his drink.
"Just think she's cute." Lena shrugged, blushing slightly. Not that Toby could see under the low light.
"You've got a better chance of becoming the president of the federation!" He replied laughing. She quickly changed the subject.
"Isn't the boss supposed to in now?" She said looking at the clock at the bottom of her console.
"Should be." He paused. "Think he might be in a meeting? Try him. His comm badge will be set to do not disturb if he is."
"Lt Conley, I could do with a few reports reviewing and a personal word if you've got chance?"
