Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

[HolyMan]

"What's the matter Kitten?" Benson asks with a small smile.

[sblock=ooc] Will we need to remember everthing we are to do to operator (thanks forthe save by the way) devices and ships, or can we just say "Using standard StarFleet protocols Benson takes the ship into orbit." your call I am a whatever standard you are for [/sblock]

The jade colored orion female sitting next to Lt. Commander Hale extends her hand over to him to shake. "Nice to meet you Lt. Commander, my name is D'Vassa. I have spent some time working for Starfleet Intelligence and this is my first ship posting as the Chief Strategic Officer. It seems we will be working closely together."

Hale smiles as he shake's the Orion's hand. "A pleasure to meet you D'Vassa. I look forward to working with you."

Bry'nn's voice being very low so the others cannot hear, "talk hard, not like tongue of mother. Learning to try, not well."




"Lt. Commander, if I may ask a personal question.", D'Vassa slowly turned back into her seat. "What is it like on a ship? This is my first time ever being posted on one, let alone overseeing others."

 

[HolyMan]

"Ahh... Well don't let that bother you to much," Benson says using what people call his fatherly voice. "You know we have a saying on my world, 'Actions speak louder than words.' So just let your abilities and talents show these Trellian worms what you are made of."

He turns towards Byr'nn and points a thumb at the controls. "Care to start showing now?" He asks with a big smile.

Bry'nn's hands start dancing over the controls of the shuttle, much like a pianist and his keys. Bry'nn is not even looking down at the controls while her fingers seem to know exactly where to go to make the minor corrections. Her fur seems to tingle with excitement and her gaze seems somewhat euphoric with her hands at the controls.

As Bry'nn pilots the shuttle out of the atmosphere, she points ahead and with excitement in her voice that everyone can hear, "queen of fleet."

Ahead of the shuttlecraft is the largest spaceframe ever seen. Two of the orbital drydocks have been combined to work on the secondary frame with the nacelles sticking out the back of the drydock. As you pass the secondary frame, you see the saucer section being worked on in a seperate drydock. Across the top of the saucer, you can barely read 'U.S.S Sovereign NX-17454'.

 

[HolyMan]

"Swerrll.." Benson whistles, "She is a thing of beauty."

 

[Blackrat]

There's nothing like roaming the quadrant on a fast ship. To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. Dr. Crescent mumbles to the orion girl. Suddenly he raises his head and smiles. Ah, my apologies. I was lost in thoughts. These Excalbians, very intriqueing. He tugs the PADD away and looks around. Are we there?

 

[Rhun]

"Its really no different than an assignment at a starbase, or even planet-side," says Hale to D'Vassa. "Smaller, perhaps a bit more...intimate. Depending on crew size, you may get to know everyone on the ship. I think you'll like it."

 

[garyh]

Kevas gazes admirably at the Sovereign. "They haven't even invented the sensors that'll be on that ship," he whispers to himself.

 

[knightemplar]

Bry'nn taps a button on the console, "Shuttle, land?". She manuevers the shuttle towards the back of the Ascendant and its shuttle bay.

A voice comes over the speaker 'Shuttle Forrestal, this is the Ascendant. You are cleared to land. Commander Cherok is waiting in main shuttle bay."

Bry'nn lands the shuttle nice and easy, then hits the button to release the side door. Everyone one gathers their belongings and moves outside the shuttle.

Approaching the group you will see a rather thin tellarite wearing the uniform of a command officer riding in a hover chair. As you look closely at him, you can see the faint lines of scarring, and places where hair refuses to grow on his face next to areas of nicely trimmed beard. Behind the tellarite, you see a seven foot tall Gorn wearing the uniform of a security officer.

D'Vassa moves towards him. "Lt. D'Vassa sir, permission to come aboard?"

With a slight rasping in his voice, you hear his reply. "Granted."
