Steven headed over to his communication station. He couldn't remember a thing beside's his name and how to do his job. Maybe being woken this early had messed with his mind.
He began to search the the computer for any info he could. All the files pertaining to the mission were either damaged or inaccessible. The commander seemed to be bickering with another crew member, but he figured this would be more important.
"Commander I think we have a problem. I decided to do some digging in the ships system and I can't find anything. Not even where we're supposed to be going."

The report was done. Damage to the rear and top of the ship... all minor damages but damages none the less.
" Commander I suggest that we repair the damages to the ship and then check on our supplies to make sure they are not running low. And please Commander I need a destination... and give me that to boldly go where no man has gone before crap."
Ran4O looked around she found a pack of chewing gum in a drawer. She took out a piece and began chewing it and blowing bubbles.
" Idiots.. I swear their all idiots"

Serene tried to think she was about to haller back at that idiot what thought he could speak to her superior officer in such a manner, but decides to chew him out out later. Lucky him.
She turned to Steven, walking over to him and taking the controls.
"What how can that be?"
She punched in a few codes and suddenly Gen appeared back online.
"COMMANDER, THERE IS A PREDETERMINED PLANET THIS SHIP WAS MEANT TO LAND ON SEVERAL LIGHT YEARS FROM NOW."
"Then that's where we shall go. Send the coordination to Ran." She nodded to Ran. "There is our destination. And Ran? Please keep negative comments to your self form now on. Remember your status and position on this ship. This is the bridge, not a playground."
Then walked away brushing her hair out of her face. This was all too much for her. And she'd only been on duty for less the 20 minutes!
"Computer, What are our supplies for Fuel, energy, food and water?"
"WITH CREW AWAKENED OUR LEVELS WILL BE DEPLETED FAR MORE RAPIDLY THEN WHEN IN STATUS."
She sighed palming her face in her hand... This was all going so wonderfully.

" Very well commander. "
Ran started to plot out a route towards the planet in question. Everything seemed rather odd since they had awakened. Still what of the damages to the ship? It would probably be best if they were repaired.

Steven noticed the distress the Commander seemed to be in. He was still worried about the fact none of them could remember thing, but the most important thing would be fixing the ship that was keeping them all alive.
As far as he could tell there was no crew designated to repair the ship.
"Gen are there any awake personnel that can assess the damage and repair it?"
Gen shook her head. "The majority of the ship's repairs are done by droids. They are currently working on decks 12-15 repairing the damages from impact."
At least that was one thing they didn't have to worry about for now. Since things seemed to be calm, Steven decided to bring up the question that he figured was the most important.
"So what does everyone remember?"

" Remember? Remember... My memories are blurry at best."
Ran paused.. the danger had passed. She hadn't had a chance to even put everything together. Yet somehow she remembered how to navigate this massive ship. How? She looked around.. everyone seemed so much bigger then her... older. Ran was but a child yet these controls, this ship, everything was just so natural to her.
" I remember trees and a lake. I use to like to read beside that lake. The sky's were blue and birds were singing. I'm... I'm sorry... I don't remember anything else. I don't even know what I'm doing here or how I know these controls so easily. "

Steven nodded as Ran tried to recall her past. His suspicions were confirmed, he wasn't the only one who didn't know how they arrived on the ship or even who they were. He looked to the commander, but she looked as confused as the rest of the crew.
"Well as troubling as it is that no one here knows anything I think we should focus on the immediate problem on hand, the ship. It's what was keeping us alive." He then turned his attention to Gen. "What were you saying about the food and water levels."
"Due to dwindling supplies the crew was not supposed to be brought out of stasis until we were much closer to our destination. Due the emergency I awoke you early and unfortunately cannot put you back."
"It's a big ship with a huge crew from what I saw when I woke up. I'm sure we can last a while before we start getting low."
Gen hesitated. "Negative. Upon further inspection the asteroids did more damage than originally thought. There was a hole torn in the food cargo bay much of the food was jettisoned out before a containment field could be activated over the breach. By my calculations with the current crew and rationing you have a two weeks at most before food and water runs out."

*Usher sat in his office and finished the orders to wake up the Beta, Gamma, and Delta security teams. He picked up the manifest for those already Awakened.*
A TWELVE YEAR OLD ON THE BRIDGE!? This is insane!
*The Alpha security team headed out to supervise the Awakening of the other security teams while Usher headed to the bridge. This Serene Six Delta was going to get an earful.*

Serene took several long, deep breaths. She herself couldn't remember much either. She remembered a white room, and feeling hot... What ever's happened to them, has happened to the entire crew. But why?
Serene glared at the hologram, she would have shot the damn thing if she'd known it would go through it with out harm and didn't want to waist the ammo.
"Oh really? And Now you tell us this!" She hissed through clenched teeth!
Not only that but it seems that food and supplies where also a shortage as well. In addition to minor damages suffered from the asteroids. At least no one's floated out into space. Yet... Then again she'd not had the pleasure of meeting this Usher character yet. She could tell he was going to be a handful.

Officer Melody Eight Theta, the head of Delta Security patrol, was quicker at getting oriented than the rest of her team. Though her memories were…cloudy at best, she knew that she had always prided herself on staying ahead of the curve. Melody was a strong-willed woman, with dark skin, brown eyes and short curly black hair she pulled back from her face into a tight ponytail. Each of her team was so different from her, but she knew that they all had to operate as one unit. She looked at the rest of her team, standing in line as she took measure of them. She was acutely aware of the fact that they were taking measure of her just as much. As she walked down the line, she paused and read off the name of each patrol member.
“Alezandir Four Delta. You are my second in this squad.”
A tow-headed Russian man, Alec stood tallest of Delta Patrol, and nodded his head brusquely. Melody appreciated his strength, but instinctively knew that she was also annoyed by his overprotectiveness of his female compatriots.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Therese Forty-six Delta. Hand to hand specialist.”
Therese was a raven-haired pale beauty with bright red lips and blue eyes. She stood at ramrod straight attention and nodded curtly. Melody knew that hers were the most dangerous hands in their squad.
“It is an honor to serve, ma’am.”
“Trevor Eighteen Theta. Weapons specialist.”
Trevor was the youngest of the squad, and Melody knew, somehow, that he was also the loose cannon of her group. With bright red hair and freckles, his smile would seem fitting at any point in time except right now. She frowned as she paused in front of him.
“You seem rather pleased with yourself, Theta.”
“I’m just glad to be awake, ma’am.”
“Yes, well, I suppose we all are. As you all know, we’ve been awoken early, long before we were supposed to have reached our scheduled destination. Usher Eight Theta is our Chief of Security, and he wants all of our squads in perfect formation as the rest of the active crew awaken. I know you all have questions. The answers are secondary priority. First priority is the safety of the crew. At all times. Understood?”
Three heads nodded in unison as they answered with a loud “YES MA’AM.” Melody nodded again.
“Then let me at this time officially welcome you all to Delta Squad. Drills start tomorrow morning at oh-six hundred hours sharp. At ease.”
The team loosened up a bit (except for Therese, whom Melody somehow knew was always as intense as her first impression had given) and began to talk lightly among themselves. Melody finished making her notes on her personal communicator pad and forwarded them to Lt. Commander Usher. She hoped that, despite the chaos surrounding everyone’s early awakening, that this was the beginning of a great adventure. Even with her memory cloudy, she remembered that a great adventure was exactly what she’d signed up for.

Ran continued at the controls looking around at the planets around them to see if any of them were inhabitable and may have lifeforms and supplies on them. Finally she saw something a small planet, given the information on the computer about the planet it look like it may inhabited.
" Commander, I found planet which may have some life forms on it and thus possibly supplies as well. It'll take us approximately 72 hours for us to reach it. I'm sending you the coordinates now commander and I await your orders."
Ran cuddled close to her white stuffed kitty plush as she worked on the computers. It seemed to be the only thing that gave her comfort on this huge ship with little to no memory of who she was, how she got here, or even of those around her. She did notice that she was the youngest member of the crew which did little to set her mind at ease.The computer and her plush kitty were the only things the girl felt safe with.

*Reports poured in on Usher's infoscreen. He nodded appreciatively. His teams were organizing themselves quickly, especially Delta. Ah yes, he remembered Melody Eight Theta being especially efficient. Strange how he remembered everything to do with his job and nothing about himself...*
Bah. Concentrate on the job, Usher.
*Huh...every squad had four members except Alpha. They had...six? Inefficient. He would assign two Alpha members to something else...perhaps something new. He would have to think on that.*

So…these were her quarters. “Gen,” the ship’s A.I. had been all too pleased to show all of the newly-awakened security officers their quarters, all of them grouped close together on a wing of the ship close to the security station and the brig. They would be required to be ready for duty at all times, even during sleep.
Good. It was good, Melody thought to herself as she inspected her uniforms in the closet and her bed. The lack of memory didn’t bother her as much as it did some of the other security officers, who had stayed up in the hallways to compare mental notes. Her situation was secure, she felt comfortable in her position, and she wasn’t going to sweat the details. As soon as the medical staff was revived, she had no doubt there would be plenty of waiting in lines for the various scans and such that would restore whatever she’d lost.
“My favorite color is red, my music is jazz, and I hate broccoli.” She informed her reflection in the mirror over the small vanity next to her closet. “I respect my colleagues, and I greatly respect my commanding officer.”
Melody thought on that for a bit. Lt. Commander Usher was, so far, just a voice, a picture and a series of communiqués. But there was a bit more than that, under the surface…and she instinctively knew, once they had a chance to meet face to face, that she would trust him with her life. And she hoped that he would trust her the same. She turned away from her vanity in the same instant as a red light cast over her room, and a voice sounded out over the intercom.
“There is a Distress Alert coming from the First Medical Podbay. Who is responding?”
Was that the alarm system? Melody reached for her communicator.
“This is Melody Eight Theta. Delta Squad can respond. What’s going on?”
Her comm beeped, and she knew that instantly the rest of her team was patched in to her conversation. Melody nearly jumped out of her skin as the ship’s holographic AI appeared in front of her.
“There is an Error in the First Medical Podbay. Critical functions have ceased and unit casualty rate is currently 64% and rising.”
That was a lot of greek to Melody, but she understood “casualty rate” and snapped up her jacket in a flash, heading out the door.
“Show me where First Medical Podbay is, and patch me through to Usher!”
The rest of her team were exiting their rooms, and Melody briefly allowed herself to be proud of their organization on this, their first mission before dedicating herself fulltime to following the floating image of the AI as it led her team down the hallways.
“Lt. Commander Usher, this is Officer Melody. We are responding to an emergency in the medical wing of the Podbay. We will advise further as soon as we have evaluated the situation.”

Very good, Officer. Keep me appraised of the situation. And try to swing by the armory! I want all teams armed ASAP. Usher out.
*The lift approached the bridge and Usher steeled himself. It was never pleasant to go after a ranking officer but Commander Serene Six Delta seemed to be lost. Better Awaken someone with more experience at command. The doors swept open and Usher entered the bridge.
And there were three. Three officers running the bridge!? AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE TWELVE YEAR OLD! This was insane! Where was everyone else? Damn it!*
Lieutenant Commander Usher Eight Theta reporting.

Steven was put somewhat at ease at the news of a potential food source not too far away, but even that was no guarantee that every thing was going to be okay.
"Commander Serene, I'm going to head down to the cargo bay and take a look at the food situation."
He exited the bridge and headed to the lift. He found it strange that much like his job, his knowledge about how to get around on the ship seemed to be instinctual as well.
After a short ride he was on one of the lower decks containing the cargo bay. He felt uneasy. It all felt too empty. It would have been completely silent it it weren't for the automated work crew up a head. Steven could hear them behind closed doors working on the ship,
When he entered the cargo bay he found the mess he had expected. Food was scattered all over the floor. Containers were knocked over and there was a large hole in the side of the ship.
