21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew, or would it be appropriate to say, "Happy New Year," considering that we have just crossed into 2398. |
21:03 | ... | At any rate, good to see you all a,and I hope you have a good week and a good holiday. Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | Happy New Year, works for me. No questions, Skipper. |
21:04 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:05 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir |
21:06 | Shadow | Could we revisit that sector in a year or so to see how they're doing? |
21:06 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let's... |

21:07 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::On the bridge, in the command seat.:: |
21:07 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] We are leaving Federation space, Sir. |
21:08 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Thank you, Ensign. Maintain course and speed. |
21:08 | Cdr__Hart | AXO > ::in the XO's seat:: [ CO ] So, they have seen to send you a permanent XO yet? |
21:08 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::smirks from the tactical console:: |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ AXO ] No, they didn't. I'm guessing they think we're doing just fine. |
21:10 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::at the science console, looks over to the command area:: |
21:11 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ AXO ] I think we're getting along just fine, Sir. ::smirks, again:: |
21:11 | There was a slight delay as we had an interruption for a equipment malfunction. |
21:14 | Shadow | CMO>;; finishes going over the records in Sickbay before heading up to the bridge for a bit;; (probably need a new keyboard) |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | (Yes, I should say so) |
21:14 | Shadow | (me too) |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | (Good now?) |
21:15 | Shadow | (think so) |
21:15 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ CO ] The last thing I wanted was to be XO. I was a happy chief engineer. |
21:16 | EnsNguyen | CNS >[ AXO ] ::in the CNS seat:: I think you're doing a great job, Sir. |
21:17 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ CNS ] Well, of course I am. I do wonderfully at whatever post I'm at. |
21:18 | LtCdrWren | OPS > ::rolls her eyes:: [ NOIP ] No modesty there. |
21:18 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: scanning space as they travel:: |
21:18 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::chuckles:: |
21:19 | Shadow | CMO>:: gets to the Bridge and gets a tray of coffee, tea and cocoa for the bridge crew to drink along with all the usual adulterants;; Anyone want something to drink? |
21:19 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::resists teh urge to chuckle:: |
21:20 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ CMO ] Ooo, I'd go for some coffee. |
21:20 | Shadow | CMO>;; starts passing out the mugs as people wanted them;; |
21:21 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::takes a mug from the CMO, and nods his appreciation:: |
21:22 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::takes a mug of cocoa from teh Doc:: [ CMO ] Thanks, Doc. |
21:22 | Shadow | CMO>::Smiles to the others as he continues passing out the drinks;; No problem Lieutenant |
21:22 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: also gets a mug of cocoa:: [ CMO ] Thank you, Shadow. |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::takes a mug of coffee:: [ CMO ] Much appreciated, Doc. |
21:23 | Shadow | CMO>[CNS] No problem Counselor |
21:24 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ NOIP ] So, how long do you think it will be before we run into some hostile race? ::takes a sip:: |
21:25 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::raises brows at that question:: |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: almost spits out his mouthful of coffee. Looks to his XO:: [ AXO ] I should hope... NOT. |
21:26 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::just shakes his head, as he glances back to the sensors:: |
21:27 | Shadow | CMO>[AXO] could be any time, or could be something hostile coming from within but I SUPPOSE we could program the holodeck for Bumper cars... |
21:28 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ NOIP ] :hrugs:: Hey! You know it's bound to happen. |
21:29 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CMO ] Bumper cars? |
21:30 | Ens Nguyen | CNS > :: looks to the CMO also.:: |
21:32 | Shadow | CMO>[TAC]Bumper cars are an amusement park special where there are thick bumpers around these vehicles that go around a track and crash into each other for the fun of it;; pulls up a video of the bumper cars at an amusement park to show them what he was talking about;; |
21:33 | Shadow | CMO>[NOIP] a lot of fun and a great stress reliever |
21:33 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CMO ] And you're going to use them... Why? |
21:34 | Shadow | CMO>[TAC] for the fun of it |
21:34 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CMO ] ::raises brows and nods:: Okay. Good enough. |
21:36 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Captain, we're nearing a system, previously defined as pre-warp. Any chance we could just "look in on them?" |
21:36 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Sure, I don't see why not. Send the coordinates to Helm. |
21:37 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :ends the coordinates to Toine:: |
21:37 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Coordinates received. ::taps the console:: Course changed, Sir. Two minute ETA. |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Excellent, Ensign. Stop us before entering the system. Let's take a good look "inside" before entering the system. |
21:39 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::bringing us to full stop. |
21:40 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: scans the system:: [ CO ] Nothing new, as far as technology, Sir. Some satellites around the fourth planet, but that's all I see. |
21:42 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI/TAC ] Alright, we'll proceed to the planet with caution. Make certain we have all stealth tech online, so as not to be seen by those satellites. |
21:42 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Aye, Captain. ::taps is console:: |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. Adjusting the deflector dishnow. |
21:43 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Entering the system now. One-half impulse. |
21:44 | Cdr_Hart | `AXO > :: watching the approach on his arm console:: |
21:45 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] I'm going to start monitoring broadcasts, Sir. |
21:46 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ;cans the satellites, and...:: [ CO ] Captain, they do have a orbital space station. Not very large. |
21:46 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Condirmed, Sir. I am reading a compliment of |
21:47 | ... | of five people aboard it. No artificial gravity though. |
21:48 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] I would recommend we stop in between the fourth and fifth planet, Sir. Scan from there. |
21:49 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods:: [ TAC ] I agree. [HELM ] make that our stoppin point. |
21:49 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, I am detecting a broadcast of a ship launch. |
21:50 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS ] Put it on the screen. |
21:50 | Shadow | CMO>::Starts scanning the station and launching ship mentally to see what is going on with them;; |
21:50 | LtCdrWren | OPS > ::taps her console, swending the feed to the main screen:: |
21:51 | =/\=ACTION: On the screen is an image of a small vehicle attached to two very large engines. Steam is rising from the engines. |
21:52 | Shadow can feel the anxiety of the astronauts on the ship that is about to be launched. The ones on the space station are waiting. =/\= |
21:53 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ NOIP ] Looks at those babies. That is some old fashioned thrust about to happen. |
21:54 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ NOIP ] T-minus thirty seconds, kf I'm translating this properly. |
21:54 | Shadow | CMO>[CO] Captain, the ones on the ship are anxious while the ones on the station are just waiting. We /MAY/ have been detected before we realized it |
21:55 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :cans the space station, but finds no weapons of consequence aboard it.:: |
21:56 | Lt_Banning | SCI >:: shakes his head:: [ CO ] We haen't been scanned, Sir. I don't believe we've been detected. |
21:57 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods to Shadow and Banning:: [ CMO ] If there is any indication we have been seen, we can get out of here just as quickly. |
21:58 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ CMO ] I think I would be a bit anxious if I were strapped to them tow engines. |
21:59 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] So far, no unusual traffic. Launch in 5... 4... 3... 2...1... |
22:00 | =/\=ACTION: Huge fireballs erupt from teh bottom of the engines and the whole apparatus slowly lifts off the ground and starts soaring skyward. =/\= |
22:00 | Shadow | CMO>:: Tries to see what is the cause of the ship's inhabitants' anxiety;; |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ NOIP ] Wow... Look at athat. Just like a scene from our history vids. |
22:02 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] That is an impressive sight. |
22:03 | =/\=ACTION: The ship reaches the proper height and the boosters break away and fall back to the home planet. Shadow feels a certain relief from the ship's, which is about the size of a shuttle craft now, inhabitants. =/\= |
22:04 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] The craft is now adjusting course for the space station, Captain. ::taps the console, sending the real time images of the small ship tot eh screen:: |
22:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Very good, Lieutenant. Keep an eye on them. Not something we get to see every day. |
22:05 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:06 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
22:06 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
22:06 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:08 | CaptMcCloud | I wantes to start us out with something simple. Thought maybe watching an "old-timey" space launch would be neat. |
22:08 | ... | We will have another week or two pass between sims as we observe this planet, and go on about our way. Any questions to this point? |
22:09 | Cdr_Hart | None from me, Sir. |
22:09 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
22:09 | Lt_Banning | Nothing, Sir. |
22:11 | CaptMcCloud | Not sure where Dr. Shadow got off to, but thanks for being here. Have a great week. |
22:11 | ... | Dismissed. |
