::Prepares to depart as soon as he receives orders::
CTO_Senek says:
::Stops at a console and brings up overview screens of various systems of the Andromeda::
CNS_Jordain says:
*CO* Captain If it is all right with you, I would want to get the cadets from the Starbase.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Pulls out yo-yo::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* Go ahead. In the absence of XO, you can do the introduction and touring all by yourself. That is, unless you would like someone to accompany you.
CNS_Jordain says:
*CO* aye sir.  ::gets up from his chair and walks out on his way to the Starbase::  No sir, I'll be fine
Host Cadet_River says:
::Blows bubble::
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* It appears that most of our systems are in good condition; however, there are some minor glitches in our power distribution systems that'd be good to fix.
CNS_Jordain says:
*OPS* Could you contact the cadets to tell them that I will pick them up at Mac's Café.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CNS* Understood.
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks around the bridge and taps a few buttons and than pulls out a PADD::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Nudges classmate and fidgets::
OPS_Capulette says:
*Cadets* Counselor Jordain will be meeting you at Mac's Cafe, please join him there.
Host Cadet_River says:
*OPS* Um...hello, uh thank you, um ok.
FCO_Durron says:
::Calls up something on the PADD and than looks at the console than begins checking off a small list of things that he did a while ago.::
OPS_Capulette says:
*Cadets* Capulette out.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Pockets yo-yo and heads to cafe with the rest of his classmates::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Exits the Andromeda and steps onto the deck of SB 50:: Self: This has been some time  ::makes his way to Mac's::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Tosses gum into trash::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Stands nervously around with the rest of his classmates at the cafe;;
CNS_Jordain says:
::Bumps into some old friends on his way and arrives at the cafe on the other side from where the cadets are and he sees Mac::
CNS_Jordain says:
Mac: Hi Mac, How is it hanging?
CTO_Senek says:
::Stays at the console and takes some time to familiarize himself with engineering systems::
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at his PADD than at the console and types buttons on both::
Mac says:
CNS: Mr. Tal, Nice of you to stop by. Want something to drink. It's on the house.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looking around::
CNS_Jordain says:
Mac: No thanks Mac, I'm here looking for some cadets.
Mac says:
CNS: Oh yes, well there on the other side of the cafe ::points::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looking around wondering where the Andromeda person is::
CNS_Jordain says:
Mac: Thanks Mac, see you around. ::walks towards the cadets:: 
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* I think I'm going to send a team to take care of purging the RCS systems of exhaust while we're still docked.
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Hello Cadets, I'm Counselor Tal'eL Jordaïn from the USS Andromeda.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: How is our system maintenance going?
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: A Klingon Battle Cruiser is on final approach to the Starbase.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Going well, I've just sent a team to do some maintenance on the RCS systems and another to do routine tests on the transporters.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Stands at attention:: CNS: Hello Sir
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* Fine.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Notifies the appropriate engineering teams::
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the course and tries to cut off a few seconds in a few points::
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Nice of you to join me here. Lets be on our way then shall we. ::starts walking::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Very good. I trust that you will be able to handle it on your own, so I won't disturb the process.
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: Sensors detect minute cracks in the main impulse drive of the Battle Cruiser.
Host Cadet_River says:
CNS: How is life onboard a starship? Is it exciting?
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadet: Life is always exciting, but on a starship you can expect everything ::smiles::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir, interesting detail, the Klingon Cruiser has impulse deformities, cracks in their main drive.
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the SRS display and notices something than hears the OPS say it and goes back to what he was doing::
Starbase 50 Dock Control says:
Broad channel: Klingon Cruiser: Your engines are destabilizing veer off, veer off.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Is heading for docking port 7b::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Does it look serious?
Host Cadet_River says:
CNS: It seems kind of boring
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: On the COM The Starbase Dock Control has just ordered the Cruiser to veer off due to engine destabilization. Very serious, sir.
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the Klingon vessel and begins powering up the tractor beam just in case::
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadet: I seemed boring to me in the beginning as well, but I have been on adventures that you only can imagine.
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The Klingon Cruiser's port impulse engine explodes sending a hail of shrapnel into space and nearby vessels, it is on a collision course with the Andromeda.
Host Cadet_River says:
CNS: Um, what’s all that noise?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: There is a bunch of shrapnel on a collision course with the Andromeda.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Can we raise shields here?
FCO_Durron says:
::Prepares to cast off::
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadet: I do not know.  *CO* Sir what is happening?
FCO_Durron says:
OPS: Tell the station that we are going to pull away.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Can't raise shields in port, sir. Notifying Starbase Dock control of our departure. ::Notifies Starbase Dock Control and prepares to cast off::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CTO* Report to the bridge, immediately.
FCO_Durron says:
::Begins bringing impulse power online.::
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The Klingon vessel is spiraling out of control.
CTO_Senek says:
*CO* Aye, sir. May I ask why?
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: For the worst case scenario, load our phasers.
CTO_Senek says:
::Leaves ME and heads for the bridge::
OPS_Capulette says:
*All Hands* Prepare for emergency departure, clear all airlocks.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir, loading phasers. ::Brings weapons control online::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looks scared::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CTO* There is heavy debris coming on our way from the exploded Klingon engines. They are severe threat to us.
FCO_Durron says:
::Cancels the tractor beam and fires the thrusters to clear the station::
CTO_Senek says:
::Hears about the Klingon ship for the first time::
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: People are running around the Starbase, the base just went to red alert as klaxons ring out, civilians are panicking.
OPS_Capulette says:
Bridge Crew: Airlocks sealed, ready to depart.
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: We need to break off fast so you are authorized to bypass normal safety precautions.
FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye.
CNS_Jordain says:
Self: This is not good  OPS: Get me and the cadets on board right now, we are in the airlock on the station side.
OPS_Capulette says:
Bridge Crew: Moorings almost cleared.
FCO_Durron says:
::Brings impulse engines online and sets for full::
OPS_Capulette says:
*CNS* Aye. ::Begins crew transport::
FCO_Durron says:
::Boosts power to inertial dampers::
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The main mooring won’t release and is jammed to the Andromeda as the Klingon ship closes.
CTO_Senek says:
::Arrives at the bridge and goes to tactical::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: The main mooring is jammed, we're stuck.
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the console::
CTO_Senek says:
::Quickly tries to get a good idea of the situation::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Materializes in the Transporter Room::  Chief: Get the cadets to some quarters. I'll be back later ::Runs out and heads towards the bridge::
FCO_Durron says:
::Glances at the CO::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: There's a plasma leak in the Klingons' engines.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO: I need the analysis of the situation and if we can use weaponry to assist it.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looks around scared::
TCMolecules says:
CNS: Aye sir. Cadets: Follow me, kiddos. ::Begins leading the Cadets to quarters::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: If we use our weapons, the plasma may ignite and explode, causing further damage to the Klingons and us.
FCO_Durron says:
::Cuts the throttle back and fires the thrusters again::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO: What about tractor beams?
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: We need to break off.
FCO_Durron says:
CO: Yes sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: The jam must be undone, somehow.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Boosting power to the Structural Integrity Fields so we can withstand just sheering away. ::Boosts power::
FCO_Durron says:
::Powers up full thrusters away from the mooring::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: Our tractor beams aren't strong enough to noticeably affect the Klingon cruiser's course.
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The mooring strains and begins to crack.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives at the bridge::  CO: What is happening sir?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: The mooring's beginning to break.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: The Klingon ship had a major failure and is falling right towards us.
FCO_Durron says:
::Checks a reading than brings impulse throttle up to full::
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The Andromeda's main engines flame to full and she breaks free, snapping the mooring in half.
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: Great, just what we needed ::sits himself down and sends a small text message to the cadets through his PADD  that everything will be all right::
OPS_Capulette says:
Bridge Crew: We're loose.
FCO_Durron says:
::Winces but keeps impulse full::
CTO_Senek says:
::Stops thinking about desperate measures to affect the course of the Klingon ship now that Andromeda is free to maneuver out of its way::
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: Get us out of the collision course. CTO: Will the Klingon ship now do any damage to the station or other ships?
FCO_Durron says:
::Changes course slightly to avoid a small piece of debris:: CO: we are clear sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Starts to pray for the crew of the Klingon ship::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: No. They'll drift past the station.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looking out the porthole::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: We should probably start thinking about the Klingons now.
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: Captain, Is it all right for me to leave the bridge.  The cadets where rather scared so I have to calm them down.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: You can go.
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: Starbase 50 deploys rescue personnel and orders all ships to vacate the area.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: What is the status of the Klingon ship and their crew?
FCO_Durron says:
*Shuttle Bay Chief* Begin prepping a shuttle craft to head out and pull the mooring off.
CTO_Senek says:
::Notices that the Starbase takes action to save the Klingons::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: We've been ordered to clear the area, Starbase Personnel is sending rescue ships.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Gets up:: CO: Thank you ::walks out heading for the cadets::
Host Cadet_River says:
Action: The mooring falls off.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO/FCO: Well whatdoyaknow, the mooring just fell off the ship.
FCO_Durron says:
::checks a reading::*Shuttle Bay chief* belay that.
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: Move us away from the area.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Watching the mooring drift off ::
FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye. Setting course to Veron.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives at the quarters of cadet River where the other cadets have gathered and pushes the chime::
FCO_Durron says:
::Sets course for Veron::
Host Cadet_River says:
Aloud: Um, come in?
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Hello again, dear cadets.  Are you all all right?
Host Cadet_River says:
CNS: Sir, that was awful.
Host Cadet_Ranger says:
CNS: Does that happen often?
FCO_Durron says:
::Checks distance from the station preparing to go to warp 5 when they clear the buoys::
CNS_Jordain says:
River: Yes it was quite awful but I have been in worse.  Ranger: No it does not happen often.
CTO_Senek says:
::Continues monitoring the situation back at the station::
Host Cadet_T’Son says:
Aloud: Fascinating.
Host Cadet_Smith says:
Aloud: Cool.
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Welcome to the USS Andromeda, Were the adventure lives.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS/CTO: Now what we are clear, continue the maintenance and repairs. You might have new issues to deal with.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir, issues indeed. ::Turns to CTO::CTO: Shall we?
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Now leave your thing behind and lets visit the lounge to get to know each other and after that we will take a tour of the ship.
FCO_Durron says:
CO: Advancing to warp five now sir.
CTO_Senek says:
CO: Aye. OPS: Yes. I'll go see what the situation looks like from Main Engineering.
FCO_Durron says:
::Increases speed::
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: Very good.
All Cadets say:
Aloud: Neat.
OPS_Capulette says:
CTO: I'll coordinate the efforts from here.
CTO_Senek says:
::Goes to a Turbolift::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* If you think it is appropriate, you could let the cadets visit the bridge.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Stows gear::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Begins assessing the damage and allocates repair crews::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Exits the cadets quarters:: *CO* Aye sir, but first we will go to the lounge to calm down and then our first stop will be the bridge.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* Understood.
CTO_Senek says:
::Arrives at Main Engineering and asks for a status report from one of the engineering officers::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO/*CTO* There's minor damage to the hull where the mooring was attached, the airlock near there will need realignment, some structural damage and an amount of cosmetic work that will need to be done when we are out of warp.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Fidgets::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CO: We can hopefully work on that once we reach the Veron system.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO/*CTO* There's also some circuitry damage due to the power surge when the lines were severed.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives at the lounge and points to a free table where they can all sit::  Barkeeper:  9 Alberian Blazes please.
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* I see. I'll send repair teams to take care of the most urgent issues.
Barkeeper says:
CNS: 9 Alberian Blazes, coming up
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* Understood.
Host Cadet_Ranger says:
CNS: Starship life suddenly seems very dangerous.
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: Please sit down.
CTO_Senek says:
::Sees if any critical circuits were burned::
CNS_Jordain says:
Ranger: It is but so is life elsewhere.  To live on a starship is to live in the constant presence of danger and adventure.
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* It appears that one of our dilithium crystals was broken in the power surge. We have to operate at 80% of normal power until we can replace it.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* Indeed. ::Brings up dilithium displays:: I see that, 80% will have to do.
CNS_Jordain says:
Cadets: If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask ::sees the barkeeper arrive with the drinks::
CTO_Senek says:
::Sends out repair teams to different parts of the ship to fix the burned circuits::
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* It appears we have somewhat extensive repair jobs waiting for us.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Takes a little sip of his drink::
Host Cadet_River says:
::Nervous::
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* However, we should have plenty of time for them in the Veron system.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* It does indeed, but there's a good deal of it that can be taken care of in transit. I've already sent out six teams to do various repair work.
Host Cadet_River says:
CNS: Is the Andromeda more of a warship?
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* Great. We should have the circuits fixed already when we reach Veron.
CNS_Jordain says:
River: No, not at all.  The Andromeda is an explorer not a warship.
Host Cadet_River says:
::Looks disappointed::
CNS_Jordain says:
River: But we have our battles ::smiles a bit::
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* Peak efficiency for our "routine mission."
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* Indeed.
Host Cadet_River says:
