Sharing beliefs

Summary: A large delegation has assembled together with its new crew on the launch pad of the space dock where the USS Ganymede is waiting with pride to set out into space once again. After having been refitted with latest technology she is ready to engage on new adventures together with its new crew under the command of Commander Liam James Gibbs.

Along side of the commanding officer is a new vice admiral, Karvan Cévitam, a proud Caitian Nobel who has worked his way up mostly through special ops. He is a hardened veteran and has received quite some rewards along the way as well. After the band has finished playing 'Anchors away' the crew gets ready to board the ship and depart.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::stands proudly on the deck looking at the ship and waiting::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::standing next to the podium in his dress whites::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::watching his reflection in the painting on the wall:: Self: I look good in white...

Host VAdm_Cévitam says:
::With the last note of the band played the admiral turns to face the commanding officer.:: CO: Well then commander. Are you ready to take the ship and her crew to new frontiers?

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Looks around the dock, not at all comfortable in his dress uniform, making a mental note to get a larger fit for the next time he will need it::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::adjusts his hair once more and smiles at the reflection, then turns his attention to the ceremony::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::still standing at attention but finding the whole ceremony rather useless after this point. The ship is presented and ready to go, what are they waiting for? ::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: standing next to the CO at attention ::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
VAdm: I'm ready Admiral. ::smiles:: With your permission I'd like to get under way as soon as possible.

Host VAdm_Cévitam says:
::Just stands there, then nods:: CO: Commander, you herewith have permission to board USS Ganymede. Make her and Starfleet proud again. ::Whips a salute.:: Godspeed Commander.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
Self: If he doesn't make Starfleet proud, I will personally kill him in his sleep.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::snaps to attention and salutes the Admiral:: VAdm: Thank you Admiral. ::turns sharply to face his crew:: All: To your stations... Dismissed!

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::grins:: Self: Finally....so many new toys await me.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::starts walking towards the ship hatch::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: waits on the CO ::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Nods at the commander, finally relaxing his stand, and turns to whichever direction will lead to the ship.::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Ready lieutenant?

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::catches up with Addlington eventually and nods as they enter the ship together::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::follows the rest of the crew, walking slowly, feeling the rush of boarding a new ship::

Action: The band plays another tune as the senior officer leave the platform and make their way to the ship, under loud applause of the spectating people.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Enters the ship with Karika and nods at her:: FCO: A new day, a new ship... ::Smiles:: Or something like that..

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::grunts in agreement and walks to the nearest corridor in the clean new-smelling corridor::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: nods at the CO :: CO:  Aye Sir.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::nods and turns to walk to the ship::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CTO: I believe you are stationed in the bridge as well?

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Nods at Karika:: FCO: Indeed... I take it we are both heading there...? ::Enters the TL and turns around to face the door, leaving the honour to Karika to order their destination.::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::grunts again in agreement:: Computer: bridge.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::walks after them watching as they enter the TL and take off without him....:: Self: Great crew....must invite them over someday.

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: follows the CO ::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::waits for the next TL::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::Joins the groups waiting for the next TL::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::looks up as someone steps up behind him:: CO: Captain. ::nods::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::nods:: CEO: Lieutenant. ::smiles:: You're engineering right?

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
CO: Aye Captain. Barney's the name, fixing's the game. ::grins and extends his hand::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: lifts her eyebrow at the CEO ::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::smiles at the XO:: XO: Sir.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Looks up at the ceiling:: FCO: The system must be a bit rusty, this is the longest time I have ever been in a TL..

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::takes the hand and shakes it:: CEO: Well I think one of your first priorities is going to be getting these turbolifts to run faster.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
CO: After I'm done with them, we're going to need to install some safety belts. ::smiles::

Action: For the first time in about a year the first of the new crew finally arrive at the bridge.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CTO: Our engineer should put her up to speed ::looks out as the doors open.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::watches as the new TL car opens up in front of him and gestures for the CO and XO:: CO/XO: After you.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::walks past the whole length of the bridge taking the helm::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: nods at the CEO and holds the door for the CO ::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::enters the TL with a smile:: CEO: Looking for brownie points already Lieutenant?

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
CO: Always sir. ::grins::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
CEO:  Thank you Lt.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Nods as the doors open and the bridge is revealed and waits a moment before exiting and walking over to the tactical console::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::smiles and nods to the XO::

Action: The refitted flight console is right in front of the people leaving the turbolift with the OPS station beside it. Left of the TL is the tactical console with engineering behind it. The captain’s chair is proudly waiting in the middle with the CIV and XO's beside it.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::sits at her station and begins helm procedures.::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Stands at his console and logs himself into the new ship's systems for the first time.::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::checks moorings and makes sure they are ready to be disengaged.::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Finds himself at the main screen and sees how it does not at all match his desired lay-out and starts to re-organize all functions::

Action: An alarm sounds on the tactical console, indicating there's unauthorized movement in cargo bay 1.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::enters after the CO and XO:: CO/XO: I believe the Bridge is closer.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::looks surprised at the CTO thinking someone somewhere messed up.::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Frowns as an indication starts flashing in a screen he was just about to close:: FCO: That's odd... ::Runs a more detailed sweep of the area.::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::nods:: TL: Computer, Deck one, Bridge.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::hums a classic song from the 1990's while waiting for the TL to arrive at it's destination.::

Action: As the second TL arrives at the bridge, they see the Science station and Engineering besides that. Tac 1 is patiently waiting in front of those stations.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Notices a combadge signal in the area and looks up the signature::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
:: steps out of the lift in front of the CO ::  All:  Captain on deck!!!

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CTO: Internal sensors should tell you what is happening...an emergency at space dock.::grunts::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::gets up standing at attention.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::looks out at the Bridge:: Self: Nice...

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::steps out behind the XO and makes his way directly to his new chair:: All: Report.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Chuckles:: FCO: They... ::Turns his attention to the turbolift, then quickly back to his console again to see who is in the section::

XO_Lt_Bakall says:
All:  As you were.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::looks back out, then watches as the door's close:: TL: Main Engineering.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::sits back down::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Turns once again to the CO:: CO: Commander, I received a security breach.. Unauthorized movement of personnel in Cargobay 1...

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CO: Helm is ready for departure. All systems nominal.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::wonders why the TL is so slow and walks over to the wall panel and pulls it off::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::nods to the FCO:: CTO: Identify.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Looks as the signal seems to head to the exit of the cargobay now:: CO: Although the starbase engineer seems to be leaving now..

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::looks inside the wall and notices a rather old and worn out power node::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
Self: Geez... they hand us this ship and forgot to check the lifts…::shakes his head:: Amateurs...

Action: The TL now stops at main engineering. As the doors slide open the first thing to see master systems monitor, warp propulsion console and the impulse propulsion console.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
CTO: Good, let me know when all starbase personnel are off the ship and we can get this show on the road.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::puts the panel back on and looks out on the sight in front of him:: Self: Man....haven't seen anything so beautiful since that hot little stick on Risa. ::steps out::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
Self: I did not sign up to be an entertainer.

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes sir.. ::Turns back to his console to continue configuring it to his wishes::

Action: The engineer just made it out of the ship on time to have security close the hatch.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::walks to the core and looks it up and down.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::feels the eyes of his staff on his back and slowly turns around.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
All: Alright... anyone want to get back to work, or just stare at my backside all day, eh? ::grins::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::sits back in her chair waiting for orders.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::watches as his staff goes back to work, then smiles and walks to the center of ME::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
All: My name is Barney Stinson, your new Chief Engineer. So I'm the boss... I rule, you... minions. Alright? ::smiles:: Now I will get to know each of you later, now I wanna get my hands dirty like a Denobulan mud fight.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::taps his Com badge:: *CEO*: Lieutenant, are we ready to go down there?

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
*CO*: Captain, just taking a look down here. But from my screen, everything looks dandy.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::nods:: CSO: Science good to go?

<duty CSO> ::Looks at the CO and nods:: CO: We are ok to go captain.

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
FCO: Release docking clamps and take us out Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CO: Yes sir, but shouldn't I get permission from the starbase first?

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::goes over to the Warp Propulsion console and checks the core.::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
FCO: I suppose you'd better, can't have them breathing down my neck again.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::accesses the OPS console and opens a com:: COM: Starbase: This is the USS Ganymede, requesting permission to depart.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::meanwhile, releases the docking clamps::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::brings up the impulse engine status reports.::

Host VAdm_Cévitam says:
<SB OPS> COM: USS Ganymede: USS Ganymede, you are cleared for launch.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CO: Clearing moorings… initiating thrusters.

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::watches the FCO's commands and makes sure everything works.::

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::brings the ship clear from the starbase.::

Action: The USS Ganymede slowly leaves space dock at the hands of her new FCO.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
CO: Ready to engage the ordered coordinates. Speed?

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
FCO: Lay in a course for Starbase 214 at warp 7.

FCO_Lt_Karika says:
::nods to the CO and goes to warp speed after inputting the Starbase coordinates.::

CTO_Lt_Addlington says:
::Checks the weapons and shields, making sure they are in operational conditions.::

CEO_Lt_Stinson says:
::watches the request for Warp 7 pop up and watches as the core warms up and thrusts the ship forward.::

CO_Cmdr_Gibbs says:
::takes a seat in his brand new chair then stands up again, turning to remove the plastic covering off it before sitting down again.::

Action: With a graceful touch the USS Ganymede slides forward and disappears into the bright light. Thankfully it is still able to jump to warp. But what awaits her and her crew at the other end of space?
