Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 02:37 PM

*she looks around the bridge and sighs for a moment* "She could have told me i am bridge crew" *she grumbles and sits down behund her console and starts a security systems check of the ships systems*

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 02:40 PM

*Gha'Rel arrives and looks to the chair that was his, the First Officer's post. With a loud sigh and a slight hesitation Gha'Rel sat and began the systems checks.*

*Gha'Rel calls down to Engineering.* @Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge "Any issues to report?"

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 02:43 PM

"All seems to be fine down here. The first warming up of any antimatter reactor is always a little tricky, but there are no problems."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 02:46 PM

*she looks over the readings provided by her scans* "Firewalls are intact, internal sensors dont see any anomalies, armory is secured, weapons are locked as they should be, tactical systems are encrypted as usuall, no outgoing or incoming datatrafic beyond the regular chanels, all clear so far."

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 02:47 PM

"Perfect Ensign," *Gha'Rel looks over with a nod of approval.*

Lt. JG Xander Spica BOT 18-Oct-20 02:50 PM

*He entered and sat down at his console.* "All systems are nominal, scanners show now anomalies in the area. We are good to go on my end." *He grinned.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 02:52 PM

*she nods and looks back. To. Her console* "Seems like the crew is slowly arriving."

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 02:55 PM

*Navala enters the bridge looking around and making her way to her station* (edited)

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 02:56 PM

*Gha'Rel chuckles* "Do we have a pilot?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 18-Oct-20 02:57 PM

*Katie entered the bridge, having changed out of her 23c uniform.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 02:57 PM

"Probably, but he or she needs to arrive as it seems still" *she nods*

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 02:57 PM

"I mean I can fly this if need be, but the roster shows no one designated as such."

*Gha'Rel makes note of designation for a pilot on future missions with the Athena.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 03:09 PM

"Well i certainly cant help with that. At best i could jump in for tactical, but i have no qualifications for piloting any kind of craft"

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 03:12 PM

*Looking around as the bridge filled with crew and systems diagnostics flowed in.* "Lieutenant Chaffee can you establish a communication link with the bridge." (edited)

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 03:13 PM

"if we can get a Romulan piloting console I could easily fly the ship" *Navala says from behind her console* (edited)

MT 18-Oct-20 03:14 PM

*The door slid open, a man wearing an officer uniform stepped in, he didn't stopped right after coming in but rather he head straight for his station at tactical, he knew there was a lieutenant in the room and he was their first officer. Rudy wouldn't interact with him unless interacted.*

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 03:18 PM

@Deleted User "Captain Walker. All systems are a go for launch, I have not seen Lt. Commander Dha'dahjz arrive on the bridge but the manifest shows he is aboard. Permission to launch?"

*Gha'Rel received the communication from the bridge and awaited Engineering response.* "Engineering are we all ready to depart, we have been cleared by the bridge."

@Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 18-Oct-20 03:23 PM

"Yes, Bridge. The warp reactor is online, all systems report green."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 03:23 PM

*she already acted on this and had started to close all external ports and switch to internal system control, having the ship ready for launch*

Ensign Chance Vanek 18-Oct-20 03:27 PM

*Gha'Rel used helm control from his console on his chair to clear the shuttle bay and put the ship out to space.*

***[Paused]***

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 03:34 PM

*she looks to the mainscreen as the athena leaves the odysee moved away from the ship*

MT 18-Oct-20 03:42 PM

*Rudy had his eyes on his screen, he'd never been on a bridge of a ship before, the biggest bridge he'd ever been on was a shuttle and those trainer in Saturn's orbit, but that wasn't a bridge at all it was more like a cockpit. All systems were online but Rudy was still trying to get the hang of it, it wasn't intricate but it was certainly new for him. He listened to the lieutenant as he commed the bridge of the Odyssey and the engineering of Athena, the two cleared him to detach. He took a moment and looked at the mainscreen of the bridge to see the separation of the escort vessel from the mothership, quite a sight to see, a new sight to experience for Rudy.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 04:04 PM

*she looked over to rudy* "Dont be so tense, we aint in combat yet ensign" *she grins a bit* "New to the systems?"

MT 18-Oct-20 04:21 PM

"Quite right you are.., call me Rudy..." *He paused a moment and looked over her.* "When you take being the only tactical officer on board this vessel into consideration, it seems quite challenging that's all" *He added, still looking at her, pausing whatever he was doing earlier with his console, besides the ensign was right, he might need to take it easy.*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 04:42 PM

"don't think you're so special Ensign Rudy... your not the only tactical officer on board... just the only one on the bridge" *Navala says looking up from her console her implants flickering* (edited)

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 04:46 PM

*she sighs* "Hey, no need to be rude. Its my first time as a bridge officer too." *she looks from hemeem to rudy* "I understand, sometimes its better to take a stepback and get a better view of things, you can get easily lost inside the tunnel" *she smiles, trying to be calming*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 04:56 PM

"I.. rmm.." *Navala looks down to her console* "I'm sorry I don't mean to come across as rude..."

MT 18-Oct-20 04:59 PM

"Pardon me, I never said I'm special in any way Ensign" *He replied back to Navala, his tone was kept calm no changes at all, although Jane seemed to have tried to defuse a situation that was not a situation.* "And you're right Ensign" *He looked at Jane then back at his console* "there are times I envy them vulcans" \*He mumbled barely audible for anyone."

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 05:18 PM

"I don't mean to speak my mind so openly.." *she raises a hand and presses on the cold metal of a implant on the side of her forehead* "I'm unsure if I did before or if its a more recent problem.. but I'll endeavour to.. keep a lid on it.. as you would say"

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 18-Oct-20 05:20 PM

"Oh i am sorry, guess ihave misread that right now, sorry." *she nods* "Never be afraid to speak your mind, but always consider the choice of words,i guess. As you saw, i interpretated them wrong, it is not your fault, i am a bit tense mysepf, i just learned today i am stationed here on board"

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 18-Oct-20 05:27 PM

"there is no need to be sorry.. every thing I say and response I get is a learning curve for me.. I also have to remember I'm not on a Romulan ship anymore" *Navala finally changes the science console display to a Romulan one for ease of use*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 19-Oct-20 02:52 AM

*accesses the transporter before we leave the odyssey shields and beams alcove to the #female-quarters-uss-athena from her shuttle on the odyssey* (edited)

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 19-Oct-20 07:53 AM

"That urged my curiosity at the beginning too, what did you do on a romulan ship?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Oct-20 07:57 AM

*She sat at the Ops console, looking a little nervous about her assignment.* (edited)

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 19-Oct-20 07:57 AM

*she looks up* "Everything okay lieutenant?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Oct-20 08:01 AM

“Um, yes, I’m just a little nervous, that’s all.”

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 19-Oct-20 09:05 AM

"What did I do... Well I was a engineer on a number of Romulan warbirds but for the longest time I was acting first officer.. though most called me mad for turning down the rank of commander to do this exchange program"

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 19-Oct-20 09:12 AM

"Romulans letting ex borg work on their ships? I am sorry if i sound rude, but thats news to me" *she nods* "Well we all are Lieutenant, just repax and take it easy"

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 19-Oct-20 09:26 AM

"no worries... while we didn't hide it we didn't go around telling everyone either" *she continues to read her console and rereading it.. can't be to careful* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Oct-20 10:09 AM

"Thanks..."

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 19-Oct-20 11:02 AM

"I can program some worry into my implants if it will help"

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 19-Oct-20 02:07 PM

*hums something* (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Oct-20 07:47 PM

"Uh, anyone wanna head to the mess hall?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Oct-20 08:28 PM

*An ops crewman relieved her, and she exited the bridge.*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 03:56 AM

*Some time later Navala signals a Sci crew man and exits the bridge as they take over*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 11:40 AM

*He was sitting back a bit, he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. He was bored, but it could be worse.*

MT 20-Oct-20 01:59 PM

*Rudy was still at his console, and he'd figured everything out, phasers cannon and arrays were in optimal capacity. Earlier he saw some folks leaving, Lieutenant Katie whom he recognised having had met her just a couple of days prior, then a science officer.*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 02:34 PM

*Navala returns to the bridge after eatingheads to her console relieving her stand in*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 02:40 PM

*He smiled a bit.* "Welcome back to the bridge."

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 02:46 PM

"thank you" *she looks at her console* "did I miss anything"

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 02:49 PM

*He shook his head.* "No, not really. I've just been sitting around here."

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:06 PM

[D] As the Athena put distance between the Odyssey and itself traveling at warp to a neighboring system to run sensor analysis.

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:08 PM

*He rubbed his hands together.* "Aight, I'll start the sensor analysis. Can someone keep an eye out on any ships in the area apart from Odyssey?" *He tapped on his console.*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:09 PM

*Gha'Rel looked around the bridge.* "Sensor sweep for vessels, if anything pops up inform me."

"We are looking for planets with dilithium for New Talax's colony expansion and for mining purposes."

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:11 PM

*He nodded and started to scan the system.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:11 PM

*Rownan steps onto the bridge and takes a quick look around. Taking care of course to stay out of the way from others stations. He mainly wanted to look out the front and enjoy the view.*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:12 PM

*He looked up slightly.* "Heya Doc, needed to leave behind the love of your life, I see?" *He grinned.*

Wendelinefroger 20-Oct-20 03:12 PM

*She walked in, feeling cool since she was on the bridge*

1

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:13 PM

*He smiled.* “Leaving wasn’t easy but duty calls.” *He nodded towards Jaiden, Gha’Rel and others on the bridge.* (edited)

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:15 PM

[D] Stellar system scans would reveal a Makonian ship within range of the system.

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:16 PM

*He raised his eyebrows.* "Sir, we have Makonians within the system."

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:19 PM

"Raise shields, open a channel to the vessel."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:19 PM

*Rownan takes a step back and watches curiously.*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:21 PM

*He nodded and did what was asked seeing he seemed to be the only functional being on the bridge right now.* "Channel open, sir." (edited)

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 03:21 PM

*looks up from her console at the viewscreen* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:23 PM

[Tactical Officer] *A young man at his post rises shields and the yellow alert light comes on in the bridge.* “Shields up Captain.”

Wendelinefroger 20-Oct-20 03:23 PM

*She just stood and watched, wondering what the heck was going to happen and hoping she wouldn't die.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 03:23 PM

*she tenses up a bit at the mention of makonians but calms her breath*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:31 PM

*Gha'Rel stands from his chair looking to the doctor.* "I have not seen Lt. Commander Dha'dahjz, so as of now I am acting Captain. Open a channel to the Makonian ship." *After a brief moment of it being done Gha'Rel continues.* "Makonian vessel, this is the USS Athena, assigned research shuttle of the USS Odyssey. We come in peace and mean you no harm." [D] Before the words ended the Makonian ship cut off communication after the word Odyssey and began their approach with weapons charged.

Lt. Cmdr. Iron Forge 20-Oct-20 03:31 PM

*Comms chirp* "Engineering to Bridge. We're at Yellow Alert - should we be worried about anything down here?"

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 03:33 PM

*Navala's implants on her head turn red but otherwise stays calm*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 03:34 PM

"We have makonians incoming, weapons hot, be worried about our safety please." *she answers the call and looks to Rel.* "Your orders sir?"

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

"Aye."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:35 PM

[Tactical Officer] “Sir their weapons are locked into us.” *He itches to turn on red alert.*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:35 PM

"Charge phasers, when they are in range do a segment of three bursts, targeting their shields and weapons."

*Gha'Rel moved to the Conn as no pilot had been officially assigned and he sat initiating attack pattern Delta four. (Delta-4: An all-out, straightforward frontal attack.)* "I am going to initste attack pattern Delta 4. Be ready with the phasers. Send a message back to the Odyssey as well." (edited)

"Modulate our shields on a rotating cycle for incoming fire, these ships have some of our antiquated tech but last time they were bothersome."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:40 PM

[Tactical Officer] “Aye Captain.” *He charges phasers and looks to the others to hail the Odyssey.* “Phasers fully charged and ready to go sir.”

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 03:44 PM

"Aye Captain" *Navala sets the shields to a rotating frequency* (edited)

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 03:46 PM

*He tapped on his console a bit, being a bit stressed, but nothing to serious.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 03:46 PM

*she looks over the field scans* "Captain, we are more manouverable then them, and their aft weapons look weaker then their front weapons, if we outmanouver them we can attack them from behind and maybe dissable their engines"

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 03:49 PM

"I will maneuver us as such. Thank you for this information Ensign Sheppard. Dr. Ch'ranirh since you are here on the bridge take the First Officer chair."

"It is taking a lot of my concentration to fly this ship. Please if you will I will let you be in command of this since I need to pilot."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:52 PM

*Rownan nodded a bit surprised but quickly went over to take a seat.* “Yes Captain.”

Captain Ezarah Ryn 20-Oct-20 03:55 PM

[D] At the apex of their attack run, the Makonians fired phasers on the Athena.

Wendelinefroger 20-Oct-20 03:56 PM

"Uh oh."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 03:59 PM

“Ready with the phasers. Move the ship to the back as Shepard’s suggested.” *The phasers did little to no damage on the ship.* “Ensign Spica, what’s the damage report?”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:01 PM

*With the Makonian ship now in the optimal position Gha'Rel looks back from the conn* "We are in position."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:03 PM

[D] *The ship was now on red alert.*

“Fire on the left flank. Minimal damage just as a warning shot.” *His hands grasped the arms of the chair. He didn’t want to hurt them since they are way more powerful then the small ship on screen. What are they thinking attacking them?*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:09 PM

"They have been aggressive with us in the past and declared war on the Federation."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:09 PM

"I would recommend not to engage them recklessly. When wolfes go for a hunt, they aint hunting alone"

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:10 PM

"Which is the interesting part, last time they had 3 ships. This is a single."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:10 PM

“Both suggestions noted. We don’t want any casualties on either side.” *Of course this crew comes first if he had to choose.*

“Any signs of other ships around?” *It was suspicious that this ship was alone.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:11 PM

*she looks on her console* "I recieved new data from the odyssey, in the near asteroids hides another makonian ship. Hidden from our sensors. We should either dissable the ship in front of us quickly or scare them, but i would not recommend following them"

"In addition there are some gas clouds nearby...Does anyone remember the riker manouver?" *she looks to the Doc*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:13 PM

"Noted. Aim to disable and let's get back to the Odyssey. Dr. Ch'ranirh I leave the firing and such to you. This conn is complex."

*Gha'Rel hits a button and the viewscreen shuts off.*

"Argggg" *Gha'Rel growls as he vigorously presses buttons trying to get the viewscreen back.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:14 PM

*He looks at Sheppard trying to remember its details.* “Explain while we fire in the back please.” *He ordered the tactical Officer to fire the phasers towards the back to take out the rear phasers.*

*He jumps when the screen disappears then comes back.*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:15 PM

*He looked up.* "Shields holding, we can sustain their attacks."

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:16 PM

"Sorry. About that. We need to get a pilot to be here next time to do this and not someone with slow fat fingers."

1

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:16 PM

"If we collect the gas inside the cloud, we can use it to dissable the ship in the asteroid belt. We fly past the hidden ship after we dissabled the current one, blow the gas out and ignite it. It should not be too explosive to destroy the ship but it would be left adrift and we can have a chance of having another talk with the makonians." *she nods*

"Cause if we dont see them then they cant see us either without assistance of the ship out here." *she nods*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:19 PM

“Alright, you got that Captain? Let’s do it. Get into position.”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:23 PM

"Maneuvering." *Gha'Rel was obviously out of his element.* "I already made a note that we were not assigned a pilot and I plan to have this ship be used for pilot training so I don't have to do this again." (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:26 PM

“That’s alright Captain.”

[D] The Makonian ship was struck in the back from the Athenas phasers casing their shields to go down to 50%.

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:30 PM

"Two torpedoes here and here should do the trick and dissable their main reactor." *the image of the makonian ship gains two highlights.* "Their eps system is flawed, too much energy is routed through these two points."

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:32 PM

"their Shields at 50%!" (edited)

Wendelinefroger 20-Oct-20 04:32 PM

*She begins a feeble attempt at increasing the shield strengths, doubtful that it'll actually work.*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:36 PM

[D] The shield strength went up by a few precent, nothing more.

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:39 PM

*He watched Shepard explain while the Makonian ship turned to try and strike them again.* “Alright lets Target those areas and hope it’s enough to scare them off. Tack action and go ahead.”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:39 PM

"Coming about for another pass. Should I bump them as we fire."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:42 PM

“No, maybe get close to show them we aren’t afraid.”

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:43 PM

*He looked up.* "I think we can manouver around them and attack from different angles. Like running circles around them."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:43 PM

"We better decide fast, the window of opportunity is closing and their forward shields are still at full strength" *she nods, noting that the makonian ship is turning*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:45 PM

"I am moving us around them as much as I can. I will make it so we can target certain aspects. Let's do this and get out of here. Jam communications if they make a distress call."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:46 PM

"On it." *she nods and flods the comm frequencies with interferences*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:47 PM

“Alright lets do it fast and head back.”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:54 PM

[D] A myriad of weapons fire between both vessels ensue. The Athena moves away as the sensors indicate the Makonian ship is disabled. Their warp engines and other systems show to be inoperable. Scans would show that there was a plasma leak in the attacking ship's warp reactor and seconds later the ship exploded as Gha'Rel turned the Athena away and tried to clear the blast radius. The Athena would be pelted with shrapnel as it left the area.

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:55 PM

*He looked up.* "That's some hell of a fireworks display."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 04:57 PM

*He looks at the screen and winces once the ship explodes. Oh great. He didn’t want to kill them but at least they are safe.* “Take us back to the Odyssey please.”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 04:57 PM

"Course laid in. Do we have warp?"

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:58 PM

*He looked at his console.* "We do, yes."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 04:58 PM

*she looks to the side* "I guess the weakspots were too critical. I didnt expect their ship would be destroyed from just that." *she sighs a bit*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 04:59 PM

*He shook his head.* "This might sound cruel, but they did start this. Not us."

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 05:01 PM

"I scan the ship for imidiate damage, we got hit by shrapnels after all" *she turns around and does a sweep across the ship*

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 05:02 PM

*He looked at his scanners.* "THe other ship has gone to warp."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 05:03 PM

“Thank you Ensign Sheppard. Turn down to yellow alert. And watch the other ship. Thanks Spica.”

“Hail the Odyssey, we don’t require assistance.”

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 05:06 PM

*Gha'Rel pressed the console to engage warp and the whole ship came to a halt.* "I swear baQa' bIHnuch ghay'cha'." *Gha'Rel swears in Klingon as his frustration brews to the front of him. He smashes his hands down on the console and breaks the screen. He pauses a few moments with his hands bleeding on the glass console. His words an angry growl* "Someone fix this mess." (edited)

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 05:08 PM

*He raised his eyebrows.* "You ok, lieutenant?" *He had a slightly worried look on his face.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 05:10 PM

*Rownan looks over at Gah’Rel and winces at the damage.* “You did an excellent job Captain. As the helm.” *Since the didn’t have one.*

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 20-Oct-20 05:11 PM

"We can use the auto pilot to get us back. And i volunteer for piloting lessons once we are back. So that our captain can take command again." *she nods*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 05:12 PM

“Yes I agree.” *He stands out of the chair glassily allowing Gah’Rel to take it back.*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 05:15 PM

*Gha'Rel surveys the faces and cracks a smile.* "The helm console took damage in the firefight. Yes initiate auto pilot procedures. Dr. Ch'ranirh you did well in this role as well, now can you see to my hands." *Gha'Rel lifts his bleeding hands in the air as he sits in the chair.* (edited)

[D] After about an hour the Athena would arrive back near New Talax and reconnect with the Odyssey.

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 20-Oct-20 05:31 PM

*Navala stands behind her console thinking about all that happened and backing up her memory of it to her implant*

Ensign Chance Vanek 20-Oct-20 05:35 PM

"You all are free to aboard the Odyssey, I will be the last one off and we will need to download the flight records."

Lt. Xander Spica 20-Oct-20 05:36 PM

*He nodded.* "I want to stay for a while, sir. I'd like to go over the sensor data from the fight. Seems to be worth a look."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 20-Oct-20 05:37 PM

“Of course Captain.” *He grabs the medkit and works on the hands using a dermal regenerator. Once he was finished he smiled.* “There you go. I’ll....be heading off now.” *He leaves the bridge and goes to the Odyssey.* (edited)

Wendelinefroger 20-Oct-20 07:06 PM

*She got up and left the bridge*

P. Ensign Navala T'Hemeem 21-Oct-20 05:40 AM

*Navala sets her console back to the standard layout and heads of the ship through the airlock*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 03:46 PM

*He sat down On the captains chair and looked ahead*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 27-Nov-20 03:48 PM

*Message from sickbay indicating Doc is in.*

Lt. Xander Spica 27-Nov-20 03:49 PM

*He sat down at his station.* "Hello sir, how are you?" *He gave a soft smile.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 03:49 PM

"Good lieutenant and you?"

Lt. Xander Spica 27-Nov-20 03:49 PM

"I'm fine, sir. Just curious why we are reading the Athena."

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 03:54 PM

"It was my discretion to assemble to Athena crew. With the way things are and with the commander saying so, we're on alert"

Lt. Xander Spica 27-Nov-20 03:56 PM

"How come, if I may ask?"

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 03:58 PM

"We've been contacted by the malkonians and there's ships with overwhelming power."

Lt. Xander Spica 27-Nov-20 04:01 PM

"Fun~" *He chuckled a bit.* "We're gonna die." *He said under his breath.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 04:01 PM

"mhm"

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Nov-20 04:06 PM

"Hey pas and thank you, I assume iron forge will be here soon. If not then we'll go without then"

(it's fine I have pas)

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 28-Nov-20 02:10 PM

"Everyone, you're doing a great job!"

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 02:10 PM

"If our job is sitting around doing nothing, thanks." *He grinned.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 28-Nov-20 02:11 PM

"yeah..."

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 28-Nov-20 06:19 PM

"Head towards the Ody" (edited)

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 06:42 PM

*She stepped out and gasped. It was totally different from the bridge of the oddy as she looked around a loom of wonder on her face.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 06:44 PM

*He grinned at her reaction, and put his hand on the console, he gave his code and Everything lit up all consoles and screens* "Maybe this will help "

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 06:46 PM

“Wow!” *She grinned like a kid in a candy store as she looked around.* “Can you control the entire ship from here?”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 06:47 PM

"I mean if I gave the computer orders and I was on my own potentially I could. The only way that is possible is if I let it out of the oddy which I'd have to request it and everything" *He Grinned and sat down on the on one of chairs not his chair tho*

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 06:52 PM

*She finished turning and looked at him.* “Ok that’s cool. You know I’ve never actually wanted to be a captain until now.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 06:53 PM

"If you mean the whole ship on the bridge with the whole crew yes and oh? What made you want to be a captain?"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 06:55 PM

“This is cool that’s what made we want to do it. I was planning on taking the BOTs because I wanted to help the crew but now I kinda want it for me.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 06:56 PM

"do it for you it'll progress your career plus it'll also help the crew. I may have a surprise for you that'll help you make this decision" (edited)

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 06:59 PM

“Oh really?” *She looked at him not really sure what to expect but she was hopeful.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:00 PM

*He gestured towards his chair the captains chair of the Athena.* "Please, be my guest and sit in the chair of power then tell me what you think" (edited)

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 07:07 PM

*She smiled as she nodded and walked over taking the seat feeing the bridge layout infront of her.* “Now this is cool as shit.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:08 PM

"It is, now do you think you're up for the bot test? Because I think you're ready. You seem to love that chair"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 07:11 PM

“I mean....I don’t know. I think I’m ready but then I keep questioning my self. Like do I really want to leave diplomacy for this. It’s just hard you know. How do I know I’m making the right choice?”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:13 PM

"You won't leave diplomacy you'll just be allowed to be on the bridge and take a shift. You'll still stay as diplomacy, you'll soon realise if you're making the right choice by thinking is this what you want, is this what you want to do."

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 07:14 PM

“But if I want to captain someday then I’ll have tk right?”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:15 PM

"Yes you would but it's up to you when you transfer to command as long as you reach just before commander you're fine!"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 07:40 PM

“Why? What happens if I don’t transfer before commander?”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:45 PM

"I can't remember but I'd recommend asking the Captain!"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 07:53 PM

“Yeah I’ll make sure to do that. Hey uh....what are you allowed to tell me about the BOTs?”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 07:55 PM

"I am not able to reveal anything about the BOTs. Other then revive for it"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 08:10 PM

“Ok’d I figured but I wanted to see. All walker did is just question me over and over again about could I send a man to death.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 01-Dec-20 09:34 PM

\*Hmm, maybe it's that maybe it's not"

jshoey18 01-Dec-20 09:52 PM

“Do...do you think I could come on a training exercise some time and do like a work study type thing where I take command when the crew is doing like simple exercises, you’ll be there Ofcourse to take over if needed.” (edited)

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 02-Dec-20 10:38 AM

"I would say yes but that'd be a question for the captain and the first officer. They'd need to be the ones to approve it"

jshoey18 02-Dec-20 01:09 PM

“Ok! I’ll make sure to talk it over with them. I’m actually kind of happy about this possibility now.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 02-Dec-20 07:59 PM

"That's good! I'm glad!"

jshoey18 02-Dec-20 10:33 PM

“Yeah. Thank you again James. I really do mean it.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 02-Dec-20 11:09 PM

"you're welcome"

jshoey18 03-Dec-20 07:19 AM

*She slowly, as if reluctant to, stood up from the command chair.* “I think I’m going tk go back now if that’s ok. I mean unless you want to get to know me alittle more....intimately?” *She gave a not so subtle wink and smile.*

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 04-Dec-20 09:03 PM

(Oh! Shoot! I'm so sorry!) "I appreciate the offer thank you but I'm with ensign kirikawa. I don't want to do anything that will jeopardize me and her, if me and her don't work out maybe but I doubt it" *He smiled and blushed* (edited)

jshoey18 04-Dec-20 11:24 PM

“Oh my apologies, Ensign Nix and I decided to open our relationship a little and I figured I would try. Please don’t think any less of me.” *She herself blushed as she looked down.* “But uh....if I may I think I will be going.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 04-Dec-20 11:26 PM

" don't apologize, I'll never think less of you, if I ever have a open relationship with Ensign Kirikawa then I'll let you know okay?" (edited)

jshoey18 04-Dec-20 11:28 PM

“That sounds good. But please don’t let me ruin anything. You’re a great guy James, I wouldn’t want you to lose her over me.” (edited)

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 04-Dec-20 11:31 PM

"You won't ruin anything and thank you, I'm sure me and her are on good terms. I'll see what me and Reiyas relationship between us is between us and that"

jshoey18 05-Dec-20 08:49 AM

“Ok if you promise. But yeah the offer is open.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 05-Dec-20 04:19 PM

"Promise and Awesomeness, What would we do tho?" *he said curiously*

jshoey18 06-Dec-20 09:58 AM

“You know, the usual. Dinner, alittle dancing, go back to your place, and then I do that walk of shame the next morning.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 06-Dec-20 11:07 AM

"Oooh seems fun"

jshoey18 06-Dec-20 11:52 AM

“Yeah. You know just your regular open relationship date.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 27-Dec-20 05:54 PM

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 06:49 PM

*She stepped out and looked around.* “It’s a gorgeous ship.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 07-Jan-21 06:50 PM

"It is, very gorgeous hopefully the Athena will do a lot more missions and see you as the xo very soon!" *He walked around to #co-office-and-quarters-uss-athena*

jshoey18 07-Jan-21 07:01 PM

*She followed*

jshoey18 08-Jan-21 07:50 PM

*She walked out and eased into the chair ment for her.* “This is comfy.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 08-Jan-21 07:55 PM

"It is, as first officer you get your own chair haha. What do you think?"

jshoey18 08-Jan-21 07:56 PM

“It’s nice. I’ve never had this clear of a view of the screen.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 08-Jan-21 08:01 PM

"Ooh very noice! Anyways where would you like to go?"

jshoey18 08-Jan-21 08:32 PM

“Again you pick. I don’t think there’s much I haven’t seen.”

Lt. JG. Julian Jordan 08-Jan-21 08:33 PM

"I don't think I've shown you the Med bay!" *He walked to #turbolift-1-uss-athena and waited for cinder*

jshoey18 10-Feb-21 03:50 PM

*She walks off and takes a seat in the captains chair as she waited.*

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 10-Feb-21 04:01 PM

*The turbolift door opens and four engineers enter the Bridge, led by a man large even by the standards of the Pakled, who smiles in that vaguely wistful way and bows his head.* "I am Lieutenant Gamadbob. Here like you said."

jshoey18 10-Feb-21 04:18 PM

“Perfect. Thank you for joining me.” (edited)

jshoey18 10-Feb-21 05:26 PM

(Typo

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 11-Feb-21 10:54 AM

"It is my pleasure." *He stands, waiting for instructions.*

jshoey18 11-Feb-21 11:26 AM

“Alright. Shall we go through the damage done to the vessel and the repairs and preventative actions taken if any?”

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 11-Feb-21 11:49 AM

"Yes. This ship is strong. There is not much damage. I think this is because the gravity shear difference was lower on a smaller ship. It was not stretched like the big Odyssey. The ship holding bay is bent and will not go, so the ship is stuck." *Pakled have poor verbal skills, but this doesn't mean they can't express complex ideas if needed.*

jshoey18 14-Feb-21 12:37 AM

“Wait so let me get this straight...the Athena can’t be deployed?” *She didn’t like that at all. She didn’t know how much power she actually had but if she could she wants them to be able to deploy the Athena ASAP.*

Lt.j.g. Gamadbob, Engineer BOT 14-Feb-21 07:18 AM

"No. It will not go. The Odyssey is bent over it. We have been cutting it out, but we are not done. Our tools are weak and we also have to fix the ship."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 29-Sep-21 03:10 PM

*Vale walked on to the bridge suddenly standing tall. This was going to be a command she got not because someone else was unable to manage at that time or got themselves killed.*

1

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 29-Sep-21 03:13 PM

*Vax walked out after her. He felt like her first officer on her new ship. He stood talk going over to the helm console looking at it.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 29-Sep-21 03:17 PM

“She’s small but she’s going to do the job.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 29-Sep-21 03:18 PM

"Agreed."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 29-Sep-21 03:25 PM

*Vale then went to her chair. The captains chair. She shimmied into the seat to give it a vale butt groove.* “OK your going to need an enganeer you trust.” *that was Vale asking for recommendations.* (edited)

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 29-Sep-21 03:28 PM

"Well I trust Max, but he might be busy. I also trust Ell."

"I would say D'jinn but she's kinda..out of action."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 29-Sep-21 04:33 PM

“Damn the rat… she’s a great officer and this…” *Vale looked away then looked back.* “I want Vanek for ops.” *Vale bit her lip wondering who’d get tactical.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 29-Sep-21 05:08 PM

"Alright, and..how to put this..." *Vax thought for a moment* "As much as has gone on with Lieutenant MacDolan...he has some of the fastest phaser firing in the west to use an old expression."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 07:16 AM

“I’ll keep that in mind. Going past tactical floor at the moment is unpleasant when I’m in the turbo lifts. I’ll have to talk to Stryker as well.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 07:20 AM

*Vax nodded looking at his PADD* "Looks like Speaking of Lieurenant MacDolan he wants a helmsman to do a weapons test with him. Since I'm already here I'll do it. Anything else though?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 08:11 AM

“Thats a perfect way to get used to the ship.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 08:45 AM

'Yeah it is."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 09:43 AM

“I got some people to hunt down but I’m going to do it the normal way and send them a padd message first.” (edited)

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 09:47 AM

*Vax chuckled* "What was the not normal way?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 10:49 AM

“You’ve seen my call sign of Huntress right? It means hunting them down. I prefer not to use the computers and just you know look for them it gives my mind something to do.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 10:50 AM

"Fair enough commander."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 05:52 PM

*Vale wrote up the padd messages and nodded.* “There. That’s the basics of the personnel.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 05:56 PM

"So who we got?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 30-Sep-21 07:27 PM

“So far you got Caleb for tactical, T’Pel for science Vanek for ops and Larkin for a doc the others are a little iffy but thats because department heads need to deal.” (edited)

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 30-Sep-21 07:30 PM

"Sounds like a plan."

"Do you need me for anything else or..?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:30 AM

“I can grab more people at the time. We are the distraction. I dont think we get anything else.” *Vine left Vale and moved over the bridge then to Vax displays looking at them.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 10:42 AM

"Well then...guess we just...wait for the dawn." *Vax sighed and went to sit down in the helm chair. Looking at Vine for a second.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 12:40 PM

*Vale laughed looking at Vine.* “Vine seems to be happy around you. Hey little leafy. I’ll let you look around before you get picked up.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 12:44 PM

*Vax looked at Vine.* "I guess so."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 02-Oct-21 12:46 PM

*A bubble formed as Alessandra arrived, her curly hair tied back and a bag of dried insects on her belt to keep the often unruly vine satiated.* “I’m here for *La Vid*, commander. I brought some food to keep it happy.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 12:51 PM

*vale walked over to Vax station and carefully tried to pick Vine up and then had to untangle the Vine as it just didn’t want to let go. Eventually she walked over to Alessandra with the unruly Vine still struggling.* “Thank you. I at least know Vine will be safe.” *Vine many times had hidden in her jacket and in bags wile she was on a dangerous mission but this time Vale couldn’t let Vine follow. Vine couldn’t be here for this one. Vale hadn’t needed a service plant in years so she had no reason to let Vine stay for this.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 12:52 PM

*Cerred stepped onto the bridge of the Athena and made his way to the intel console. He'd spent a few hours fiddling with his auditory implants but discovered he could still make them play music just like when he'd rigged his hearing aids Originally. That just might come in clutch.* *He didn't say anything to Vale or Vax at first since he'd been focused on logging into the console and getting set up instead.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 02-Oct-21 12:53 PM

*Alessandra took the vine, using one hand to keep it from running off and the other to reach for an insect.* “Hopefully Garland should be at the daycare to take care of them. Otherwise I won’t let it out of my sight, commandante.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 12:54 PM

*Vax turned his chair around, looking at the bridge. Oh brother. He frowned when he saw the Vine struggling. He knew how much it meant to Vale, then looking over at Cerred. He had to get them both home, that was his job. His duty in fact. This was what he had spent those countless hours in the holodeck for, all those flying simulations. Though somehow he still felt an itching, did he over plan? Did he under plan? His head was a royal mess, but he had to focus.*

Vine BOT 02-Oct-21 12:57 PM

*Vine reached out for Vale who waved at the struggling plant almost ignoring the insect in it’s current handlers hand.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 02-Oct-21 12:59 PM

*Alessandra kept a firm grip on the vine, speaking to it soothingly as she walked to the lift.* “Don’t worry, the commander will be back soon. And you’ll be back with Garand and your *pequeñas plántulas* shortly.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 01:01 PM

*Cerred looked over once the Intel station was ready and nodded at Vax,* "We got this, Vax. Don't worry." *He smiled a little and Kabiel poked their head out of his pocket to wave at the Trill before hiding again.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 01:05 PM

*Vale turned her head to see the little leaf and it made her feel so bad about what she had to do with her Vine. But it had to be done. She needed to get them back now and she had a reason to get back to the Oddy. A minor goal along the way to the major goal. Jane was out there somewhere. Jane wouldn’t be happy if she got back and didn’t get the rest back.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 02-Oct-21 01:05 PM

*T'Pel, hair pulled back in her usual bun, uniform pressed. Had you looked at her, it was as if nothing had happened or changed about her, but that was far from the truth. Her eyes held a firmer, darker sense of determination today as she took up the science console.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 01:09 PM

*Vax smirked and then smiled, turning his attention back to the helm* "Rightio, let's get this thing started."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 01:15 PM

*Vale stepped back and took the captains chair in the small bridge. Two arm rest controls gave Vale all the information she needed.* “We still need tactical and some other stations.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 01:22 PM

"Youre kidding. Where the hell are they?" *Cerred looked up and blinked. It looked like he'd been rubbing his ear but was actually setting his implants to play music at a low volume, ready in case he needed to turn it up.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 01:24 PM

"Probably being late..again."

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 01:27 PM

"Probably." *Cerrred grumbled and looked out at the view screen.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 01:27 PM

*Vale set her own earpieces to play a recording of the warp core for T’pel mainly but for Cerred as well if he needed it. She could manage with a different coping mechanism than her normal one for them for a time. After doing that Vale nodded to T’pel.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 01:31 PM

*Cerred raised an eyebrow at Vale. They must have had the same idea it seems. He didn't even know the Warp core made noise! Guess he does now.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 01:37 PM

*Through yet another bout of channel hopping, Caleb would arrive on the bridge, eyes alight with a figurative glow. Around his hips hung a standard belt, holding a holster with a type two handheld phaser, and a standard issue baton slung through a loop on the opposite side of said phaser. He would lock gazes with the commander for a moment, nodding apologetically as to his tardiness, remaining silent. Without any other distractions, the hulking starfleet veteran would tuck himself into the tactical station, going through his own prelaunch procedures.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 01:42 PM

"Well there's tactical." *Vax didn't even look back, he knew that sound from a mile away. It was Caleb.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 01:49 PM

*Max would arrive. As he was previously recommended, he took it as a sign he should be on the ship.* (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 01:49 PM

“Good to see you McDolan.” *Vale knew he needed to be greeted like any other non telepath. She also didn’t mention him being late. There must have been a reason.*

“OK Lieutenant Max if you need any specialised displays you might want to set them up now.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 01:55 PM

*Cerred turned back to his console to make sure he'd run all the checks. Damn he missed one. He ran it through quickly before turning back to give Vale a thumbs up,* "Intel is ready."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:00 PM

*Vax swivled in his chair again, turning towards Vale* "Helms ready to light 'er up."

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 02-Oct-21 02:01 PM

*T'Pel had calibrated everything beforehand, off screen, and she double checked everything to make sure.* "Science is operational, Commander."

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 02:03 PM

*He began to set up things.* "Glad to be 'ere. Good ter see yer Commander Kestra, Azoci. Great day for goin' through an unknown 'ole Aye lads?"

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:13 PM

"All I care about is getting home right now, and possibly not dying today would be a plus."

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 02:14 PM

*Cerred closed his eyes for the moment, centering himself and breathing. He could feel his nerves trying to prickle up but he wouldn't let them. Very quickly he buried his nerves again and opened his eyes, taking another look around the bridge.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:15 PM

*Vale nodded to Cerred then Vax then T’pel.* “And taking a good chunk out of it I hope.” *Vale looked at all assembled thinking she better think up some motivational speech on the fly. She briefly looked at the list of crew and registered pets as well.* “Alright First things first I’ll allow swearing as a stress release on the bridge just don’t over use it. I know we are going into what will be a very stressful situation for all but we are starfleet. We will win. Our opponent might be able to adapt but we are more creative and more determined. We all have our own reasons for wanting to take them out and together we will. Theres those that have had friends and colleagues hurt by the borg and those who have been assimilated. Now’s our chance to fight back. Oh and McDolan I’m pretty sure they want to hurt your Bunny.” *Vale finding the beefed up tactical officer had a rabbit was just too much of a joke not to tell it. It had to be told even if she was the only one that got it. Thanks to her old academy friend she might be the only one who did.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:17 PM

*Vax turned towards his helm console.* "Commander, the captain has given the go ahead for us to release."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:18 PM

“Release docking clamps.”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 02:20 PM

*A disinterested grunt would be the only response Caleb gave to the Scotsmans question. As for his station, the Gunnery Officer flew through his checks, ascertaining that the torpedo loading mechanisms were operational, and the phaser cannons were all clear. After a few quick adjustments to the power relay system, MacDolan had the standard configuration ready, and also had the shields on standby, ready to fly up as soon as he hit the button on his terminal. At the rabbit comment, Caleb's gaze would drag to the commander, his eyes telling her just how not humorous he found that joke. However, he immediately turned back to his station, ready to charge weapons and shields on command.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:20 PM

*Vax hit the button, releasing the docking clamps.* "Here we go.." *He muttered to himsef.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 02:24 PM

*Cerred flinched when the clamps released but didn't say anything.* "Lets just hope they don't want to hurt Yucatan or Kabiel..." *He mumbled.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:24 PM

"Adding a turtle with two brain cells and a plant that can't really do anything for them? Eh...they'll be fine."

*Vax hit the impulse engines online, slowly moving the Athena alongside the Odyssey.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 02:25 PM

*With all his checks done, he readied the terminal commands, for as soon as the alert was given. He quickly shifted his attention to the helm, to get one last thing out of the way.* "Lieutenant Vax, as you may know, the Athena is equipped with phaser cannons, which fire forward in a fixed direction. We need to make sure we both coordinate on attack runs so we dont accidentally throw blank shots out into the expanse. Also, as the Phaser cannons charge a set of power banks before firing, I can dump that power back into the relays and engine, just letting you know in case you need an extra boost."

"Noted, if you give me that dump of power, I can make sharper turns, totally not trying to throw us all around, but if the Borg want to get hairy with us, I'll get hairy with them. Try to dodge them as much as possible, no promises though." *Vax knew he was a damn good pilot, but the borg could totally outsmart the man at an instant.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:29 PM

“Take us to the edge of the nebula keep us inside for the moment.”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 02:30 PM

"Commander, Tactical station is ready. I can have our shields up and weapons out as soon as you give the command.\*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:30 PM

"Aye, sir." *Vax hits the impulse to 1/2 impulse, manuvering towards the edge of the nebula.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 02:38 PM

"Energy levels stable. For now."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:40 PM

“We need the assault shuttle in our sensor shadow before we get going out of the nebula. And the Odyssey goes first.”

Narrator BOT 02-Oct-21 02:41 PM

*The ship moves through the Nebula quietly, coming to a rest just before slipping out into open space. The air is filled with antic....ipation.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:42 PM

*Vax slows the Athena down just as they approach the exit to the Nebula.* "Alright, we're stopped."

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 02:45 PM

"Veryfying shield integrity... verified. No leaks nor weak spots." *Max flicked through systems, calmly accessing all parts and sensors on the ship and setting up a basic display so he could see all of them and their location in an excel format.* "This a way to get bridge qualified?" *He joked and began the process of searching out signals through uv, warp traces, eletronic signals in a system similiar to passive sonar. Just listening for the signals.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 02:47 PM

"Better be." *Vax chuckled.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:51 PM

“Thanks to the nebula we already have shields up for that… makes verifying things easier but I want us at full combat readiness the moment we are out of here so start that as soon as the orders given to leave. You already are for your stations or you wouldn’t be here.“

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 02:52 PM

*He waited back on a read from the sensors, as to get an idea of what they'd be facing and assure little surprises.* (edited)

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 02:53 PM

"Understood Commander. Combat routines are prepped, and ready to go at a push of a button. I'll be ready to dump any extra weapon power into shields via my station, or I'll throw it Lieutenant Vax's way. That way, if we need extra survivability, we have it."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 02:56 PM

“Great. Best damn bridge crew in the fleet.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 02-Oct-21 02:56 PM

*T'Pel did her best to stretch her scans beyond the edge of the Nebula, being sure sure to share her scans with the Odyssey and the Apollo. Not that she thought the officers manning the stations on the other ships were incapable, but more so just in case they missed something.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 02:57 PM

"Damage control 's ready. Sensors pending." *He added dryly with a bit of sarcastic humour from the Scotsman.*

Narrator BOT 02-Oct-21 03:00 PM

*A #comms came in for the bridge of the Athena.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:01 PM

*Vale did a triple check and though she had a backup plan it turned out it wasn’t needed.* “McDolan you have two special torpedos marked out on your loadout. At last one of those is reserved for the cube itself. But everything else we have we can use for what ever we need.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:02 PM

"How close we gotta get for this special torpedo to work?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:04 PM

“Close enough to drop it off and let it track without it getting hit.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 03:04 PM

*Cerred had narrowed his eyes at Vaxs earlier comment about the turtle and focused on his station, staring out at the viewscreen instead.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:06 PM

*He checked his six onboard MK95 torpedo tubes, loading the special ordinance in tubes five and six, while loading one and two with photon, and three and four with quantum.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:06 PM

"Mmm..so close close...lovely.."

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:08 PM

"Don't crash the ship Flyboy. Ah 'ave places to be and thin's to do." (edited)

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:09 PM

"You wouldn't mind the paint job scratches on her would you Max?" *Vax chuckled*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:10 PM

"We have light phaser arrays all over the Athena for three hundred and sixty degree coverage. Don't worry, I'll intercept any heavy ordinance before it hits us. Just fly like you normally do, Lieutenant Vax." *This statement of course was swathed in Calebs signature Irish brogue, which his author was too braindead to write currently. His voice also carried a reassuring, caring tone, contrasting the stern, stiff look on his face.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:11 PM

"Paint job? It's ruined 'lready." *He chuckled.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:12 PM

"Will do." *Vax gave a half ass salute, he was being cocky again.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:13 PM

“Please say you haven’t already…”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 03:13 PM

"So much for that new ship smell, huh?"

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:13 PM

"Thought you trusted us, Commander." *He grinned.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:14 PM

*Vax looked back with a grin.* "We're kidding."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:14 PM

“Oh I know and that new ship smell has already been and gone.”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:17 PM

"When we get back, I have a seventy five year old bottle of whiskey in my quarters I haven't cracked yet. You're all welcome to come enjoy it with me when this is over."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:18 PM

*Vax smiled, inching the impulse to keep up with the Odyssey.* "I might have to bring my French brandy that's been aging for 70 years."

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:20 PM

"Save French alcohol for weddings. The code I live by is Irish alcohol for friends and yourself, French alcohol for weddings and funerals, and English alcohol to strip paint."

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:21 PM

"Whiskey? Ah lad, sounds good."

"Scottish is better than Irish though. Less it's Brandy." *He noddded* "We're in agreement that English is just as bad as that Italian Grappa though." (edited)

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:22 PM

*Weddings..great time to bring that up Caleb...nice way to distratct vax FROM NOT DYING..*

"Why bring up Weddings MacDolan? Is there something happening that I should know about?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:24 PM

*Vale had a flash of emotion from Vax.* “Come on focus people.” *She said more to keep people off that subject.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:24 PM

"Lieutenant, I'm over a decade older than ye. If your gonna call me anything other than my name or rank, it may as well be Daideó over lad." *His hearty chuckle was interrupted by the crispy paranoid trill himself.* "Tis a personal thought, no need to get apprehensive. Also Lieutenant Leòideach, Scottish whiskey is a cheap imitation of true Irish gold, and I'll prove that to you when we get back."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:25 PM

*Vax rolled his eyes, way to keep him focused. Did he know that he was dating Ceci? That would've be an interesting development.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:26 PM

*Cal definitely didn't know did he want to.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:27 PM

"Only one man's worthy'a that title Lieutenant. An' he's a lon' ways away from 'ere." "Ah'll bring'a bottle'a me own. Compare aye? Ah'm sure we c'n come to an agreement." *He chuckled.* "Though Ah reckon it'll come down to tastes in the end. And talk imitation? That's fer the others." *He tapped a few things.* "Engineerin' teams're waitin' on the signal, Commander." (edited)

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:29 PM

“How about we each bring a bottle of our chosen victory drink to get each other drunk with. Then we can see what the ultimate winner is.”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:29 PM

"No bloodwine. I know what your thinking Commander, and I'm already concerned."

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:30 PM

"Bloodwine?" *He raised an eyebrow.*

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:30 PM

"What's wrong with bloodwine?"

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:31 PM

"That's a story for another time. Commander Vale had already heard it."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:32 PM

“Then something more andorian?”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:34 PM

*Caleb simply chuckled, before focusing back on his terminal. They were getting closer. Clipping his seat restraint, he settled into the seat more, and kept himself ready to power up the combat systems on a moments notice.*

Lt. Max Leòideach 02-Oct-21 03:34 PM

"What... is bloodwine?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:35 PM

“Best not to ask whats in it. It’s brewed by Klingons and is one of the few alcohols thats good warm and fresh it just tastes different when aged.”

“Sensors? Has the Odyssey left the nebula yet?”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 02-Oct-21 03:39 PM

"The Odyssey is on the move, Commander." *T'Pel had zero time for idle chit-chat, thought even if she had, she was not terribly good at it.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:45 PM

“Alright we need to give them a little time before moving King keep the Apollo informed to keep us synced.”

*Vale hated this this was real antici… pation time. Then she nodded.*

“Bring us out of the nebula.”

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:47 PM

*Caleb saw the Odyssey power up and push ahead on the tactical sensors, prompting him to speak out.* "Commander, permission to charge weapons?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 03:48 PM

“Granted!”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 03:49 PM

"Aye!" *Vax hit the impulse engines, having the Athena leave the nebula.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 03:50 PM

*With a smirk that contained maybe just a little too much glee, the Gunnery Officer allowed his hands to fly across the terminal, opening the power safeties to all weapons, allowing the Phaser Cannon power supplies to charge, and allowing the weaker phaser arrays to be prepped for interception.*

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan

"When we get back, I have a seventy five year old bottle of whiskey in my quarters I haven't cracked yet. You're all welcome to come enjoy it with me when this is over."

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 03:55 PM

"Count me in, MacDolan. I've never tried the stuff before." *He nodded and looked over at Vale, nodding quickly.* "Understood Commander." *He tapped the console to call the Apollo.*

Narrator BOT 02-Oct-21 04:10 PM

The Athena followed the Odyssey, and saw the Borg Cube move to intercept. They received the same hail.\*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 04:15 PM

“We already know what they are going to say. Don’t answer it. ” *She was waiting patiently to have everything go to plan and get this done! Or for things to go not to plan and to adapt.*

Borg-Cube BOT 02-Oct-21 04:16 PM

*The hail went ignored, but they broadcasted anyway because the Borg only ask once,* "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 04:18 PM

"Oh for God sakes shut up."

[T] Lt. JG Caleb MacDolan BOT 02-Oct-21 04:19 PM

"You'd think that after assimilating all known life they'd learn how to say please."

7

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 04:24 PM

*Vale felt the snark so bad right now. She set up a recorded message to broadcast instead of a live performance for the borg if they sent another message.* “Hello this is the wrong ship to be contacting right now. I’m afraid everyone here is just too mad at you to take your call right now. Perhaps if you could change your tune and stop trying to wipe out our individuality someone may be able to speak with you eventually.” *She sighed.* “Right thats ready if they try this again. But I’m not giving them more than I have to.”

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 04:26 PM

"I guess they forgot to assimilate the works of Emily Post. It's like they want us to beat them up again." *He said with an eye roll, turning to Caleb slightly.* "Lets not forget the bread this time, eh MacDolan?"

Narrator BOT 02-Oct-21 04:36 PM

*On the view screen, you see the green flashes of phaser fire from the Borg cube striking the Odyssey's shields.*

Lt. JG Cerred King 02-Oct-21 04:39 PM

*Cerred went wide eyed at the sight and bit back a string of swears, following the trail of the weapons fire from the cube to the ship with his eyes. He managed his best but still slipped out a quiet* "Oh shit."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 02-Oct-21 04:40 PM

“Were up! Head in an arch away from the Odysse to keep us out of the line of fire but head towards that cube. Load up our little surprises MacDolun and work with Kestra to get the target. We’ll see how this goes on the way. Keep at a speed that the shuttle stays with us. King focus on keeping the shuttle coordinated.”

[C] Lt.JG Terzom Vax BOT 02-Oct-21 04:41 PM

*Vax maneuvered the Athena closer and closer*
