<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::On the bridge at engineering::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::On the bridge at the tactical station behind Commander T'Shara::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: At science, going over sensor data and comparing it with past ones.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION:  The crew of the newly refurbished USS Halas, Constellation class, continues their shakedown cruise with good results so far.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: All green across the board.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Sitting in the CO chair on the bridge.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Noted Commander let's hope it stays that way.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Monitoring the tactical sensors while the computer completes a Level 4 diagnostic of the loading mechanisms::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Aye.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Continues to monitor his console, looking over the array of information on it::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Helmsman: Take us into the nearest asteroid field and see what she can do.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Overhears the captain's command and widens his field of search, looking for the helmsman's likely candidate to reorient the sensors::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
<Helmsman>: Aye Captain.  ::Sets in a course for the nearest asteroid field::  Course laid in ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Focuses LRS on a wide field.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finishes her comparison scans and is pleasantly surprised.:: aCO: Sensors appear to have a better resolution.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
<Helmsman>: Captain we will be entering the asteroid field in 1 minute.  ::maintains their current heading.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Corrects a minor malfunction on the port side ventral nacelle::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Has the computer's AI start scanning the asteroid field in the meantime while the diagnostic is complete:: ::looks up:: CSO: Could you use that resolution to get me a relative motion map of the asteroid field?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Changes to SRS::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Acknowledged Lieutenant that's what we want to hear.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Continue with sensor scans Lieutenant I want to make sure we don't get any surprises.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Repeats, a little more impatiently:: CSO: The motion map?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Do we get to take pot-shots at some asteroids?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCTO: It should be on your screen...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Sensors show the standard asteroid composition within the field.  Nothing of note.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Hears the console beep and then brings up the data on a separate window and nods:: CSO: Thank you. ::starts mapping the trajectories of the asteroids and gets the computer working on targeting solutions::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Well Commander I would normally say yes but it appears that our torpedoes have yet to be loaded.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: We have phasers....
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Understood Lieutenant keep me informed if anything shows up.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Aye Commander feel free to test the phasers out at least.   We will have to get the torpedoes resupplied when we get back to SB214.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACTO: Did you get that? Try out the new targeting array and fry some asteroids.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: How are the warp core, and engines holding Commander?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Everything checks out even better than I expected.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Looks over to the engineering station:: CEO: Yes sir, already on it. ::chooses three asteroids within range but outside the danger zone of impacts against the shields:: CO: Ma'am, I have three rocks targeted.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Helsman: Begin running maneuvers in the asteroid field I want to see what the ship can handle.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
<Helmsman>: Aye Ma'am... ::Begins running maneuver Alpha 23.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: There are two phrases that worry me.  Better then expected and uh-oh.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged Commander.  Let's see what happens when we start running maneuvers through the field.  Tell your team to be prepared.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Will do.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The USS Halas begins ducking and weaving between the asteroids.  With the dual impulse drives and larger maneuvering thrusters, the old ship proves adept and avoiding collisions.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Sends an order to main engineering to be prepared to test out the engines::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
ACTO: Very good Lieutenant, fire when ready.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: We'll be fine ::wry grin::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Gets solid tone on the targets:: CO: Yes ma'am. Firing. ::sets the phaser turrets to Level 10 and reaches over to fire, three of the turrets opening up simultaneously::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Fields a question from Astrometrics.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Sits in her chair as the ship weaves in and out of the asteroids watching the phaser fire on the viewer.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Makes a minor alteration to one of the sensor platforms and waits for their response.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The phasers hit their marks as the Halas dodges asteroids at high impulse.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Automatically takes a sample of the debris and sends to science.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over at the Counselor setting next to her wondering why for once he is actually being quiet.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Makes a note as astro reports a positive to the alteration.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
ACTO: Report Lieutenant.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Smiles at the silent thrill:: CO: Three confirmed hits, Captain. Choosing new targets. ::finds another four asteroids of proper size and gets a targeting solution, the console humming with tone::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Science quickly confirms stats with sensor readings on debris.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: How are your tests going Lieutenant?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: I would say something trite, but I might jinx things.  So far so good.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Raising an eyebrow at the comment:: CSO: Understood Lieutenant continue with your work.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: There is a slight phase variance in the ventral port nacelle, I've corrected it.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: We're ready to fire again.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged Commander any other problems that you are aware at this time?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
ACTO: Fire when ready Lieutenant.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Nothing else to report. Everything else is fine
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Nods to the Commander:: CEO: Noted not keeping your team very busy are we Commander?  Although, at this point that is a good thing.  I'm sure you will be busy enough soon enough.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: They're running routine diagnostics and drills. They are ready.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Firing forward and starboard phaser banks. ::opens up with the forward and right-side phasers, all four turrets opening up on separate asteroids, heating them up until the water and metals explode, sending small chips skittering against the ship's shields:: Four kills.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood I know it was hard for you and your team sitting idol on the station.  I'm sure you are glad to be back in your own environment in engineering.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: They did a good job renovating this old bird.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Sees a large, ponderous asteroid on the sensors and thinks:: ACO: I'm detecting a medium-sized asteroidal object ahead at 075. I think it would be a good candidate for a sustained burst. ::looks over to Senn for confirmation::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Helmsman: Set in a course for SB214.  I think we've seen what the ship can do for the time being.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods to one of her new officers, a new graduate, as they join her.  She begins reviewing the current system.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: After a quick review, has him sit down and take over.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
ACTO/CSO: Before you fire on that asteroid object confer with Lieutenant Senn on your target.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
ACO: Understood. ::transfers the data to the science station:: CSO: Can you confirm that a combined Level 12 blast will keep the asteroid from exploding too violently?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
<Helmsman>: Aye, Captain.  ::begins to set course for SB214::  Course laid in Captain.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Hearing, has the ensign pull up the targeted object and reviews its sensor data.::  aCTO: Checking.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Helmsman: Engage Ensign.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods at the data, then reaches over and adds another variable he missed.  With the new information, turns to Curtis.::  aCTO: It is large enough to sustain a burst without fracturing... mostly it will just make a rather large crater.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
<Helmsman>:  ::nods to the Captain turning back to the console and pressing a few buttons engages the warp drive.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Smiles tightly at the confirmation:: CSO: Thank you, Lieutenant. ::turns back to the center chair:: ACO: We're ready to fire, ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Shows him a trick with altering between the LRS and SRS.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
ACTO: Sorry Lieutenant another time we have already laid in a course back to SB214.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Sees the asteroid field quickly fall away and secures the weapons::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::nods:: ACO: I'm sure there will be other opportunities, ma'am. ::adds belatedly:: Unfortunately.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::Starts the computer collating the firing data to go over with the firing team::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With things calm, steps away to give him room to breath.::
