Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

OOC: Winters will stay and help as well, and if help is not needed, he will observe. It'd been too long off a touring ship, best re-familiarize himself with all aspects.

"Ensign, so how do you think she manuevers?", comes the question from behind Benson.


OOC: HM, she is the fastest ship you have piloted, even the impulse engines run just short of achieving warp speed.

"Yes, that is fine Dr. Crescent." comes out of the air near the energy form of L'thass, but Rapheal never sees anything resembling a mouth.

"I will make the changes to the duty schedule. Thank you, Dr.", answers Lt. D'vassa as she makes her way out of the door.

L'thass follows the orion officer, changing back to her human female shape within a second of reaching the door.

Two hours have passed within the torpedo magazine. Both, Hale and Winters have been lending a hand taking apart and checking the circuits of the main magazine computer.

Lt. Morrow is currently comparing isolinear chips on a reader padd. In the background the bynars in the monotone voices can be heard as they finish running the diagnostics on the isolated computer lines that run to the torpedo launcher.

"Sirs, we can not find anything wrong with the cabling. What can we do to help now?", asks 10 & 11, as each of the twins alternate the words being spoken creating a stereo type effect.

"Sir, can you look at this please. It seems different than the other chips next to it.", as Lt. Morrow turns back towards Lt. Commander Winters. "Comparing the chips in 17.6 and 17.7, the coding seems to have a different structure."
 

Hale runs a hand through his hair and frowns as he hears Morrow's words. His first thoughts ran to sabotage as he waited to hear what Winters might have to say about the differently coded chip.
 

"Well sir there is something to the old saying 'To much of a good thing'."

Benson says turning in his seat towards the commodore. "She is fast, the fastest I have ever been on. And that means it will take some getting use to, I hope I'm up for the challenge." He turns back to the console and then belatenly remembers to add. "Sir." to the higher ranking officer.
 

"This is as careless an oversight as possible, I'd hate to think this wasn't more than just a slip of a mind on a long day," Winters says as he kneels down next to the Lieutenant, inspecting the two chips. "I need to know if this rogue chip is being used anywhere else in the entire ship."
 

OOC Ethandrew: Please make an Systems Engineering (Weapons) test. 4 dice (3 for intellect and the 1 extra die for your engineering apptitude) rolled for your Intellect then take the highest number rolled and add in the 3 for the skill.
 


"Ensign Benson, return us to 40 by 12 mark 5. You have the bridge.", says the Commodore as she gets out of ther center seat and walks across the bridge over to her ready room.

As Rapheal is looking at L'thass' files, he notices that there are numerous test results here from Starfleet Academy, with two special procedures at Starfleet Medical.

He starts reading the files on his pad, taking a drink every so often. When his communicator goes off.

"Dr. Corwin to Dr. Crescent, you wanted a few minutes warning before Crewman Montgomery is scheduled to show up."

He put the PADD down and looked at his schedule. Crewman Montgomery is coming today to check out her baby's condition. The crewman is only four months pregnant, but since it is her first baby, she has become a little paranoid about its condition.

As Steven slowly looks through the data complied on the reader, he sees some distinctive formations within the code that usually was on older ships. As he scrolls back through it again, he denotes the subroutine and sees the Constellation's name in there.

Pulling the chip out of the reader, he takes another good look at it. It looks just like all the others, even with the Ascendant and NX-76620 etched in to the chip. Somehow this chip got programmed for the wrong class of ship. It must have happened at the dock, he thinks to himself.
 


"It's odd," Winters stammered out, his focus solely on the data and the chips. "It appears as if this chip was designed for a Constellation class starship, and is not wholly compatible with the Ascendant."

He his gaze moves to Morrow and Hale as he stands from his crouch, "If this was malicious, I'd be very surprised. Lieutenant, see about replicating a new chip with the proper designation. Failing that, since we're still in the Sol system, we can just swing back to Utopia and pick up a new one."
