FCO:  Run some diagnostics on the navigation systems.  Make sure it wasn't anything with the systems.

CO: Sir not sure at the moment, still working on cause.

CO: Aye... ::Moves over to his new station and presses a few buttons to get the overview of it:: Self: Not too complex... CO: What's this I see about the warp core?

CNS_Ens_Noulan says:
::he gestures to the lounge, look back at Peterson, and shakes his head, then he points to Peterson and himself, makes a sign like walls, and nods his head::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO:  They dont require me sir, I'll be here.  ::eyes helm, yeap still there::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS: ::notes the way the Farris said that::  They were over heated.  Somehow, bad information was the basis of a decision.  It caused the warp core to almost eject.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Caught off guard by Dandin's sudden collapse into a relaxed position, he begins to fidget again:: ~~~CEO: Ummm, well, I was going...well, I'll bring up the schematics of the cupplings...on my PADD...I mean, in your office. You can, join me...if you wish...~~~

CNS_Ens_Noulan says:
<Peterson> CNS: OK, I see...someplace more private?  Yeah, that would be better for me.  ::she points to a vacant spot on the PADD::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
Self: Right... CO: Understood. I would go down to assist, but I have a bad history with warp cores.

CNS_Ens_Noulan says:
::types onto the PADD, adding Peterson to the slot.  He smiles and nods in her direction::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::thinks back to childhood, playing in the fields of Relekath, hopes me makes it back there 
someday, snaps back to reality, checks status, unchanged::

CNS_Ens_Noulan says:
<Peterson>  CNS:  Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow then.  ::Galen senses she is a bit relieved, rather like getting the hard part over with, little does she realize that the hardest part is usually yet to come.::
Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Well, I have new officers and they have to learn how things run.  You can only learn so much out of a text book.  Experience you need to work out here and everyone has to begin somewhere, wouldn't you agree Mr. Farris?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
CIV: I just might do that... ::Dandin calls to a nearby engineer, telling her that he's going to be a few moments, and asking her if she would be able to keep things running smoothly. He then gets up from the chair and enters his messy new office::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: I do agree. Yet I would think that simple mistakes shouldn't slip by someone that is fresh out of the academy. But these things do happen from time to time.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  They do but rarely after the first time do they occur again.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::contines to work on research::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::listens to the banter between CO and OPS, wonders where its going::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He follows Dan into the office. His knuckles, slightly swollen and solid white, grip tightly on his PADD as he enters the office.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
<rest, making sure not to lose it in the sea of PADDs.::>

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Right. First time I had real interaction with a warp core, the ship I was on blew up... Then again, that was the only time. Main engineering is usually an off limits section for me.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  I will make note of that Mr. Farris.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Captain Randolph to Ensign Lai.  How are things progressing?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
<Engineer> CEO: Aye, sir. ::She seems very excited, and yet nervous that she was chosen by her chief. She also makes note to ask him about the talking to himself, and possibly refer him to the CNS::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:

CMO_Dathan says:

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*CMO*: Doctor this is Ens Theron, I just realized I never scheduled my physical when I assumed my position, when you have a break in your schedule, I would be more than happy to come see you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Walking around the main desk, he crosses over to the control display in the back of the room and activates it. The display which original was an Akira class cut away, is replaced immediately by the view of the Felton nebula, glowing and shining in it magnificence:: CEO: Isn't it beautiful?

::Before answering D'Aurayen, he responds to the Captain:: *CO*: Repairs are coming along. I have every available engineer working, and I don't think we'll be much under the 15 hour estimate, Sir.
