Mission:
Exploring the unknown
Location: Orbit Tabula Rasa
Dirk stepped onto the Bridge from his ready room. His morning had begun early with the final reports of the ship's movement plans to Admiralty. He would be taking the Penn back out to continue her mission of exploration. As he sat down in his chair he looked around the bridge observing his crew in action. "All Departments check-in before final departure." He was excited and tried to hide it be he couldn't keep a small smile from appearing on his face.
"This is Vespa Kale of Primary Sciences. Department reports full readiness." it wasn't hard to hear the excitement in her voice. She was ready to see what was coming their way.
"This is Lt Sh'veqan Security is five by five Captain," Shri'Rao said.
Arianna was on the bridge at her engineering station. "Engineering is good to go for warp 6.5 and no more still," she said heavily. Engineering was still without a few warp coils, plasma relays, and various other missing things. She missed Frank badly and it was going to take some time for her to come around.
Rouni replied, "Helm is ready when you give the order Captain. All systems are responding and ready."
=/\=Sickbay to Bridge. Medical is stocked, secured and ready to go. The crew is healthy."=/\= the Doctor called up when the status request came through.
Sinn had found an empty console on the bridge since they were getting ready to launch he wanted to make it for the show. He had just entered in his code to configure the console to his liking. "Intel is going for launch."
After a good nights sleep, Naomi had seated, freshened up and dressed and now with Padd in hand she arrived on the bridge nodding in greeting to those who looked her way and finally to her seat to the right of the Captain "Morning Captain, I trust you slept well?" Griffiths asked.
"I did sleep well, Major, it's nice to be in my own quarters," Taggert replied.
Simon sat at the Ops station and began making his final checks before leaving the station, He said, " All departments are green Sir and finally we are fully stocked," after the argument he had along with Captain Taggart with the station's Quartermaster about their missing supplies, "Is the word Given Sir?" he asked Taggert.
Paul sat at the rear op's console and monitored the engineering requirements for the upcoming flight, planning the resources needed to bring the warp core up and running in an instant. As he diverted power away from the unused areas of the ship, making sure that a minimal level of life support was maintained. Contacting Cetaeus ops team on deck 12 regarding the upcoming flight and any particular requirements they had.
The Captain turned to the Major, "Take us out Major the conn is yours." He was excited to truly begin their exploring and wanted to see how much the Major had picked up while working on the bridge.
Looks at the Captain, "one's own quarters are always nice" she said and looked startled at the Captain's instruction, swallowing hard she stood up and tugged her tunic down "Helm half thrusters till we are clear of any space objects, then full impulse till we clear the system" she said and looked at the Captain "what is our destination Captain?" She asked.
Rouni replied, "Aye on the .5 thrusters" and proceeded to move away avoiding all other ships and objects once clear she increased to full impulse. She stood by for further orders.
Looking over to where the Captain was, he seemed to be engrossed in some important items, so sighing heavily she looked back "Okay Commander Rouni take us to the first un-explored system and we will start there, warp six at your description" Griffiths said.
Rouni replied, "Aye Man, warp 6 engaging thrusters now.". In a few seconds, we were on our way. Rouni continued to make minor adjustments as the Penn wàs manoeuvring.
"Sensors start scanning out target system," Griffiths said and looked over to Tactical, "tactical scan for any surprises that may approach us, I do not wish to be caught with my britches down," Griffiths said.
"Sensor and tactical online May'Jor." Shri'Rao said. "Scanning"... "There are no other ships within the system, May'Jor. Sensors are clear."
"Excellent, let me know when we have arrived at our destination," Griffiths said and sat back down and the Captain was still engrossed in something, she was beginning to suspect that she was being tested.
Captain Taggart watched as his bridge crew moved along efficiently. Their knowledge of their job duties was evident in their autonomy. He nodded his approval to the Major, as he stared at the stars on the viewscreen.
