Subject: Throttling Back
Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, Lieutenant Zavaleta's Quarters - 1800
A low, garbled moan drifted through the otherwise dead silence of the Chief Flight Control Officer's quarters as Raphael began to reawaken. His mind bogged as consciousness returned, he sluggishly shifted his weight in an attempt to prop himself up. only to overshoot and pitch sideways toward the bedside table, knocking over a saucer. The resultant din of the glass tea cup and plate spinning on the floor bore through Raphael's head like a plasma cutter.
Zergatik...
From his past experiences, these grievances (the sluggishness, the sound sensitivity, the sensation that one had been unaware of his surroundings for weeks) were normal side effects of the sleep aide which he'd been taking whenever his insomnia got the best of him. Each previous experience also brought Raphael to the conclusion that he despised resorting to the aide, as these initial effects were worse than any hangover he'd ever endured; thankfully it also dissipated much quicker. Still, he was thankful that use of the aide had ensured one thing; he did not dream. As such he was not visited by the image of some sort of spectral-angelic woman; a blessing, considering the alarming frequency of such images in the morning.
Allowing himself the time to recuperate, Raphael realized, upon looking to a clock, that he'd overslept, something difficult to control regarding the induced sleep he'd endured. Cursing under his breath he hastily prepared for his few remaining duties; he still needed to get full accounts from his staff to report to the captain.
Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, Lieutenant Zavaleta's Quarters - 2000
After tracking down his staff, and avoiding unnecessary conversations with those who may have been concerned about him being up and about, Raphael had to deal with providing an analysis of their reactions.
The inexperienced Ensign Thorn had performed impressively well under such a stressful situation, and with minimal aid, considering the time it took Lieutenant Scofield to arrive, and his own unknown whereabouts. The only thing that bothered the CFCO about it was he didn't want to overstress Thorn, as the young pilot could sometimes get over-excited under pressure, which led to sloppiness in the flight simulations.
Lieutenant Scofield's temper had been less than professional, considering her rather slurred account after Raphael had been revived in the hanger. Her sober account had been considerably more civil, but still hinted at hidden displeasure at the rouse. In as much, Raphael surmised that she did not share his appreciation to the use of simulations for training. Ideally though, her temper would subside and she'd see its value; such events were very beneficial for ship-wide preparedness.
His remaining staff, Lieutenant Foxwell and Ensign Dotalsi had been off-shift and furthest from the command deck, resulting in their participation in other emergency preparations, as both ready to pilot shuttles in case of evacuation, or report to the bridge if required (though such a feat would have been difficult in a real event). Still, an appropriate response to the situation as far as Raphael could see.
Additionally, Raphael included a secondary copy of his modified schedule of the Conn, and noted his thankfulness for the attentive actions of Lieutenant Kampf and Lieutenant Commander Synklar in both locating him and preventing any more severe injuries from occurring.
Satisfied with his report, Raphael left his quarters to locate Captain Blair, wondering if he should additionally request allowances to work in the slower paced Stellar Cartography lab until he was fit to resume duties. However, whether he made such a request would depend upon the mood of the Captain when Raphael found him.

Heya,
I'd like to apologize for the disappearing act; Uni got rather heavy-handed.
On the plus side I should have successfully finished my BEng with the end of my exams, as I met alll the other requirements.
Been busy with meetings and discussions regarding a Master's degree since; ideally everything but funding is worked out (would'nt you know it) and I've a seminar to attend this afternoon related to my prospective field.
I should be able to resume posting as of tomorrow, or at the very least I'll get my (let's admit it) long overdue posts up.
Cheers friends,

Okay, so things went hay-wire on me.
Had a ceremony I had to attend, follwed by three large reports and an examination.
I've got another exam tomorrw, but then a strecth until the next one so I'll be able to finally get my post in this week.
I sincerely apologize for the dissappearing act; time has been hard-pressed to make deadlines, but this up-coming freedom is exciting.

Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, Lieutenant Zavaleta's Quarters - 0700
Despite his head in the cloud nature Raphael never remembered his dreams, a fact which allowed him little comfort after his rest.
Awakening to a world twisted by dizziness, the CFCO sighed heavily as he tried to rectify his awareness of his surroundings.
He closed his eyes tight and tried to stop the room from shifting in and out of focus.
Staring at the back of his eyelids he allowed his mind to wander, to float back to the last scene he'd seen in the darkness of unconsciousness.
Raphael remembered feeling lost and alone after hitting his head, of the drifting, and then suddenly of a light in the distance, an angelic form the details of whom just escaped him.
If he never remembered dreams, why then did he remember this delusion?
"Malditos" Raphael cursed, opening his eyes and determined to get up. "The Doc's right; I'm not fit to fly. But I'll be damned if I'm bed ridden."
Propping himself up, Raphael reached for a data pad. It would be best if he had a flight schedule for the next few days set without him; he'd already contacted Dotalsi to cover his Alpha shift this morning.
The last thing he needed was to worsen his condition by straining himself; that and the doc bearing down on him and perhaps amending her diagnosis.
Stardate 2368.07.08
USS Discovery, Observation Lounge - 0800
Raphael had been on time for the meeting, a feat which took more effort than expected.
He gave a silent nod of acknowledgement to the Captain before moving to the side, content to keep things orderly.
The CFCO was not angry over the exercise that had put the crew on edge the night before, if anything he admired the use of the simulation; he used a similar technique on a smaller scale for flight sims with randomized encounters.
However his injury had meant he had missed the whole thing; his only real explanations of what occurred passed on to him by an angry, and partially intoxicated aFCO (whom, Raphael was certain would be soundly sleeping it off by now).
This left Raphael feeling disconcerted, as he was unsure that he'd have anything to contribute beside the accounts of his staff.
As the rest of the staff was entered, Raphael spared each a glance, a simple acknowledgement of their presence.
That is until the chief medical officer entered.
Glancing briefly at Lana, Raphael blanched as he saw the same spectral wings she had had when he awoke in the shuttle bay; a sight he had deemed was his mind playing tricks on him.
He'd not expected to see it again. Looking away, Raphael closed his eyes tight to avoid an awkward double-take, and began to blink his sight back in focus towards the Captain as he began to speak.
He was probably just overtired.
Trying as intently as he could to maintain his attention on the Captain’s speech, Raphael actively avoided looking towards the chief medical officer again.
He remained silent until Blair asked if anyone had anything to ask or add, and produced the data pad.
"Captain, an amended flight schedule during my remediation."
((additional information if needed))
Upon dismissal Raphael hurriedly returned to his quarters; he wanted to sleep, to ease his mind.
He could get Thorn's report and Scofield's sober account during the Beta shift, and then submit his report to the Captain.

Topic: Anyone getting the new baldurs gate game?
Subject: Interesting
You're referring to the Enhanced Edition I take it?
Haven't really paid attention to it, as I still have the original set of discs for Baldur's Gate. Works like a charm too.
I love the game, and tend to fall back on it when I crave a good rpg (usually at such a time where I don't remember every exact detail, and playing a class differently than before).
That being said, it may be nice to see it all dolled up; see how Overhaul does.
Cheers for bringing it up mate.
