Well, she is a former pilot and would understand the workings of the shuttle bay better then Mikey, and whoever is at tacticle.

Your career seems to have consisted of crashing your own ship into the ground shortly after you graduated from the academy. Not an inspiring record.

That's pretty much the size of it - overseeing maintenance, munitions reloads and refueling, setting up schedules, etc. - as long as you won't mind not having overall jurisdiction of deployment.

I won't mind. Keeping the stuff maintianed, keeping the pilots from crashing. I can pull it off. Trust me

Organising the shuttlebay while they're in dock - yes there is a possiblity of a position there (though that was Sharkey's job). However, in organising operations - there is no possibility. Operations of a military nature (whereby the fighters are used) are controlled by tactical. Operations of a non military nature (whereby shuttles are used) are controlled by operations.

There is no co-ordination required. At any point the fighters/shuttles are outside the ship, their organisation and orders are given by tactical/operation respectively. At any point they're within the ship they're simply not doing anything - though the ops and tactical would still retain control.

Really, in the position you're talking about, I can only see you acting as a traffic warden, telling shuttles where to land and take off from. To be hoenst I see being the chief engineer as far more active. O'brien who was effectively DS9's chief engineer was never short of activity.

But then we run into the problem that M'Real is not qualified to deal with handling that job.
On the other hand, I'm not too sure what'd qualify her for running the shuttlebay, but whatever.

Hey, gotta learn how to fall before you can walk

Which is why - in my opinion mind - Blackstar would be better creating a new character. M'Real's intelligence background doesn't really qualify her to any particular department, and even more so, the way in which she came aboard the ship - as an investigator, would surely never get her into a job.

Not with a multi-million dollar spaceship you're not. Slamming them into the ground at high speeds tends to be classed as a screw-up.

Well, we did have a non-com doing the job, albeit a hugely experienced one. I think Mikey would take a flyer on her, with her piloting and small-craft experience - however, as I and Thorin have pointed out, it would include no jurisdiction over actual in-flight operations.

EDIT: PS - composing a post during some downtime today. Am I correct in thinking that Munro has returned to the bridge?

-M'Real suggests that Munro be arrested and placed on trial for shooting that redshirt during the away mission.
-Before any decision can be made, a trio of Tholian Cruisers acost the Daystrom, accusing them of attacking civilian shipping in the region. The Tholians are about to attack when another ship is detected nearby. It is cloaked, and revealed to be the one that was attacking the shipping in the area. The ship is wrecked by the Tholians, but the Daystrom manages to beam survivors aboard.
-Due to the ship's brig overflowing with prisoners, a cargo bay is ordered to be turned into a makeshift prison.
-Rochey grabs a Caitian prisoner, and orders Munro to torture him for information. Munro does so, and they find out about a hidden base nearby that the Caitian pirates were operating out of.
-The prisoners take advantage of their numbers and attempt a prison break. Many of them are stunned before they can do anything to escape, but several manage to escape into the ship itself.
-Teaos initiates a ship-wide lockdown to prevent the Caitians from gaining access to the bridge, main engineering, or the shuttle bays.

That's pretty much it. As of now, there're still a few Caitians left around the ship, though I can't remember where all of them are. Rochey's currently pursuing two of them that gained access to Main Engineering, and that's all I remember.

I read Rochey's recap a few pages back, can anyone fill me in since the end of this...?

I'm all done with school now, so I may actually try to post again at some point. Anything significant happen with the doctor?

I put you in a little bit, there was a small outbreak of the Biscean flu and you confined me to my quarters and gave everyone an innoculation... Though I'm sure we could easily find a plot where all characters are taken advantage of - ST First Contact esque, where everyone has role, as opposed to Nemsis (Data and Picard show).

I think we tried not to mess with "you" too much in your absence. Since then we've really just been cleaning up, and awaiting the inter-personal fallout. In the post I'm writing now, I will mention the medical dept. - I can fill that out a bit if you wish.

He went to the bridge, but then left again with Teaos to go check out Engineering.

And as Fletcher is in his ready room, I guess 'I have the bridge'

We took down the escapees, no damage to the ship. Losses are probably around 10 - 15 personel, mostly among the Engineering staff.

Good to have you back.

Nothing really happened to you. Asside from a few mentions of you that just included you going about your job, we tried not to do much with your character since you weren't here.

Well, she could be ordered to stay on as a sort of observer, but that would bore her to death so she'd need a job as well.

Operations of a military nature (whereby the fighters are used) are controlled by tactical. Operations of a non military nature (whereby shuttles are used) are controlled by operations.

And what about when both shuttles and fighters are needed? And what if they're out of range of the ship, or the ship is trying to keep a low profile?
