Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 02:20 PM

*Iron Forge feels a wave of nostalgia as it enters Main Engineering - this space is even more cramped than that on the Chancellor, its first starship. It's almost like being on a First Breed vessel again, with every cubic centimetre rationed.*

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 02:39 PM

*Ensign Nix seems pretty quiet, but that's okay*

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 02:46 PM

*Pas gives a wave.* "Hey Boss."

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 02:47 PM

*Iron Forge looks over from its work starting the warp core.* "Hello, Ensign."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:04 PM

"Haven't seen ya in a minute, how've ya been?"

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:07 PM

"I am well, thank you."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:16 PM

"We got a new FAE, right? Have you met them?"

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:17 PM

"Yes. Immikie Ritztekoo. A most intriguing character."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:19 PM

"How so?"

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:21 PM

"She is very unlike most of the officers I have met. Both quite nervous and yet also self-confident."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:24 PM

*Pas nodded, thinking for a moment.* "What species?" (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:25 PM

"Lerikoo, I think."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:28 PM

"Huh, I'm not familiar."

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:29 PM

"Nor was I."

"If I recall correctly, they are a species of nomads. They all live in a fleet of spacecraft."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:31 PM

"That's interesting, what do they look like?"

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:34 PM

"They are... I think the best term would be Sciuroids. They resemble large squirrels, or possibly lemurs."

LearnedAx 18-Oct-20 03:58 PM

"Huh. Neat."

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 19-Oct-20 01:48 AM

*Iron Forge continues working to get the warp engines online.*

LearnedAx 19-Oct-20 08:22 AM

*Pas continues to help.*

LearnedAx 20-Oct-20 03:21 PM

*Pas was back in engineering.*

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 20-Oct-20 03:26 PM

*Iron Forge is still there, keeping an eye on the matter-antimatter intermix.* "The warp core seems a little enthusiastic. It seems to want to keep the antimatter flow a little higher than we need - can you help me make sure it doesn't do that?" *The lights take on a warm yellow hue. Iron Forge mutters under its breath.* "Oh dear."

LearnedAx 20-Oct-20 03:29 PM

"Uh oh. And yeah, let me just adjust the regulators." *He tapped on his console.*

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 20-Oct-20 03:30 PM

"Thank you." *Iron Forge activates the communications panel.* "Engineering to Bridge. We're at Yellow Alert - should we be worried about anything down here?"

*Iron Forge calls over to Pas.* "The Bridge says we're under assault by Makonians. We need to be battle-ready." *Iron Forge starts diverting power to shields and weapons systems.*

LearnedAx 20-Oct-20 03:39 PM

"Yeah, I hear you boss." *He begins shifting power as Iron Forge ordered.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 20-Oct-20 04:04 PM

*Red Alert.* "Oh... oh dear."

LearnedAx 20-Oct-20 04:14 PM

"We'll be fine, they've got us."

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 20-Oct-20 04:15 PM

"I hope so. Nevertheless, we should be ready for extensive damage control."

LearnedAx 20-Oct-20 04:17 PM

"Aye, Boss."

NoxDestin 20-Oct-20 04:32 PM

(their shields, not ours^^)

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 21-Oct-20 02:52 AM

*The Athena having docked, Iron Forge leaves Engineering for the airlock.* (edited)

[Pas] *Pas had eventually made his way into the engineering section, prepping it.*

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:18 PM

*They walked in and she looked around.* “So if you’re still interested we could talk about maybe having a thing theres just things to worry about more. Way more stuff.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:19 PM

"yeah, I'm interested and oh? What kind of stuff I assume it surrounds your other half? Or something else?"

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:28 PM

“Well yes we’d have tk talk to Pas about it but we’d also have to worry about people thinking it to be a conflict of interest.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:30 PM

"Well with Pas, I don't know them that well but we can talk about it to them and see what they think. With the other thing it assure it that when in duty I will treat you the same as everyone else as I am a Starfleet officer first"

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:32 PM

“I know. And it would be polygamy, you would both be my boyfriends and would have the option to be with him if you’d like but we can talk with him.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:34 PM

"we'll talk to Pas first I feel like that'd be best first. As I don't want to make things worse if he feels uncomfortable by it"

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:34 PM

“Yeah it’s a good idea but you’d need to understand that he’s my first and only real concern personally. I like you but he’s the one I want to marry some day.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:41 PM

"I understand, I know that he's your first priority in case stuff happens I know"

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:44 PM

“Yeah. But we can see what he says. In the mean time let’s get the tour.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:45 PM

"Awesomeness, what else would you like to talk about as you said way more stuff and let's go to the turbo lift" *he led her to #turbolift-1-uss-athena*

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:46 PM

“Well I meant like before it was just us to worry about but now it’s our reputations and the such.” *She followed him.*

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 10-Feb-21 03:31 PM

*A rotund, melancholy man stands up and waves his arms at his fellow engineers.* "Come with me, people. We must show the first officer how we will make the ship go."

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 10-Feb-21 03:53 PM

*The Pakled's team all get up to leave, but Gamadbob sighs. He points to three of the engineers.* "No, only you people. You three. You others, make computer node four's cache memory go again when we are not here." *The four leave. Gamadbob may not be the most erudite person, but he knows his way around a ship's systems.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 05-Oct-21 12:12 AM

*The massive Irishman burst into the room at a full sprint, faster than expected of one of his size. With a practised motion master by years of service on starships, he scrambled up a service ladder to reach upper engineering, specifically the offshoot where the automatic torpedo loader was. As soon as he got to the room in question, he would scan it visually to see what was wrong, avoiding any nasty plasma leaks along the way.*

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 12:14 AM

*It would look like some wiring got fused.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 05-Oct-21 12:46 AM

*Ducking away quickly to a nearby tool locker, Caleb quickly grabbed the needed insulation and splicing tools, and then moves back to the wiring panel. Sweat trickling down his forehead, the aging gunnery officer shut down the power the strands he was specifically working on, taking the riskier method instead of shutting the whole panel off. He was completely focused, doing his best to clear the wire split, but his exhaustion was catching up. However, he wasn't as experienced as he was for no reason. After clearing the splice and replacing the panel, he triumphantly ran over to the torpedo terminal, attempting to power it up to relay the ready to fire signal to bridge.*

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 12:52 AM

*The lights on the panel started to boot up, the systems coming back online...Up until it over loaded and exploded, knocking the hulking Tactical office ankles over head backward, a small trail of blood following.*

*The tactical officer laid unconscious and bleeding. A long sliver of console lodge into the left side of his face, the heat from it having already cauterized the cut.*
