Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

[Blackrat]

Raphael looks through the notes about Montgomery and then pages Corwin back. This should be a standard checkup so why don't you perform it, if it is ok for her. There are still some things I need to cover from my files myself.

Provided everyone is ok with the arrangement, Raphael continues on preparing for next morning.

Hale smiles at the Commodore, clearly please. It wasn't everyday that promotions came along. "Ma'am, it would an honor to serve as First Officer. Even if it means more paperwork."

After scanning the padd, Winters ushers Singh into his office, "This is quite interesting, Lieutenant. Why didn't you bring this up before we launched, where a day or two might have been able to be worked on concurrently with other final touch-ups? I don't mean to be negative, if I'm reading this correctly, this would be a boon to our port sensor arrays, and of course heaps of praise on your shoulders, but I'm not too sure how eager command will be having these sensors down the first day or two of our maiden voyage."

 

[knightemplar]

"Okay, Commander, I will put into the daily orders tomorrow.", as she places the small saucer of scones back onto the table. "Beyond that what is the situation of the torpedo launcher?"

OOC: Rhun, you wont evaluate senior staff, I thought about it and that would be more the commodore's job. Basically more of how Ryker would have to deal with disciplinary issues with crew and everyone should come to you with problems before the Commodore, unless it is truly an emergency situation. Like how Ryker told Shelby, I bring all the options to the captain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am sorry, Lt. Commander, but we didn't turn on the main sensor systems until we left spacedock. I was working on the systems and I thought that if we tried this, it might be better." Singh replies, as he puts his finger onto his collar and pulls it out a little. He looks quite nervous towards you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes, Dr. Crescent. Beyond that Lt. Grenadine is doing well, but she wants to go back to work now. I have told her if she doesn't stay put, I will sedate her to stay put.", she hands Raphael a datapad with vital signs and other reports on the Lt.

 

[ethandrew]

"Relax Lieutenant, I'm not displeased, quite the opposite actually," Winters stated. Singh's nervousness increased his own nerves, but for the sake of sanity, he had to maintain his composure. "I'll broach the subject with the Commodore, if she's receptive to the change, which might not happen, or might not occur til after our first mission, then we'll get started. Is there anyway this 1 to 2 day timeframe can be widdled down to something a bit more palatable?"

 

[Rhun]

Hale nods. "Thank you, ma'am. As far as the torpedo tube is concerned, it appears as though an improperly coded isolinear chip was installed in the firing control system. It was programmed for a Constellation class starship, even though the chip itself carried the identification code for the Ascendant. I'd like permission to begin an investigation. While I don't suspect sabotage, I'd be remiss in my duties as head of security if I didn't investigate this fully."

 

[knightemplar]

"Sir, I can replace section by section, but this would still result in the system being offline. It would be shorter times, but it might limit sensor range to 50% or 75% of current range until the upgrade was complete.", Lt. Singh said to Steven.

"Lt. Morrow to Lt. Commander Winters, the chip has been replaced. We are ready to bring the Magazine computer up for diagnositics.", comes through Steven's commbadge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Go ahead and investigate Commander, and make sure you and Steven send a copy to Admiral McKenzie as classified so he is aware of the problem. ", said Kris. "Also have the senior staff prep for a command briefing by Admiral Sa'avik at 1700 hours, regarding the Gorn situation."

"Lt. Morrow to Lt. Commander Hale, the chip has been replaced. We are ready to bring the Magazine computer up for diagnostics.", comes through Jonas' commbadge.

 

[Rhun]

"I'll see to it right away, ma'am," says Hale. The Lieutenant Commander then answers Morrow's comm. "Go ahead and bring the magazine computer online. As soon as its up, I want you to begin a Level 1 diagnostic."

 

[ethandrew]

"That might be the best method to achieve this upgrade, so as to not cripple our sensors," Winters stated to Singh, he appeared ready to continue when Lieutenant Morrow comes over the comm. "Acknowledged, Lieutenant, please send me over the diagnostic reports when you are complete."

He stands from his seat, Singh's pad in hand, he smiles shyly at the engineer, "Well, I think it's better to start this sooner rather than later, so let me go get this approved before your shift begins." Lieutenant Commander Winters doesn't wait for Singh to leave his office before he departs and heads for the bridge, where he's assuming Commodore will be located.

 

[knightemplar]

Steven walks across the bridge, seeing Ensign Benson in the center seat. As there eyes meet, he slightly moves his head to point towards the door that goes towards the Commodore's ready room.

Steven nods his head slightly and passes through the door and rings the small button on the outside of the door.

"Come in", is heard as the door slides open. In the lounge part of her ready room, Steven finds Lt. Commander Hale, Admiral Kiel, and Commodore Rardon sitting on the couches with tea and scones sitting in front of them on the small table.
