As soon as the message was heard coming across the Captain's comm badge, Alex reached out and grabbed his shot of tequila and tossed it back with a serious look on his face. He then said in a hushed tone, so as not to interrupt the CO, "Yep, that's how it begins. Most of the memories in this place start just like that. I needed to drink my shot before he gets that message." Then Brooks started the recall and Alex gave a knowing smile, "Saw that one in the tea leaves."
Samira surprised him by wanting to step up as soon as the recall was announced. Alex was impressed with the initiative she was showing and responded, "Well, you and lieutenant Young are my top two people to go to in our department. You're both very capable and you've been getting in some shifts on the Bridge."
He rubbed his chin, making a good appearance that he was thinking on the matter, but in reality he had planned for such an event. Like playing chess, he liked to be prepared several moves in advance. "Very well, put on a fresh uniform and take the Science Station on the Bridge until I either relieve you or someone saying I sent them does. Be sure you touch base with Carley Young so that we have the troops rallied and we're ready for whatever is about to kick off. You'll need to to be sure the current diagnostics have been done on the sensors, but if not, don't initiate anything that won't be complete within the hour. Get a current inventory of our probes and verify available power for all sensor pallets. I don't think they powered down the core, so we should be warm and ready with minimal effort to get out of the barn."
He took another sip of his drink and added, "Don't worry, I won't be too far behind you, but just far enough to let you get your feet wet on prepping the Bridge for departure."
Alex touched his arm and his device there became visible, "Cindy..."
[I heard. Reyna will be ready before you are and all standard protocols are already in motion.]
He smiled, "Thanks Cindy."
