CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
:: Sitting at her station. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
*AXO* Understood, I’ll be out in a minute.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods to himself as he begins preprogramming maneuvers into the helm buffer. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Taps his combadge. :: *CMO* Darklighter to Atreides.

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns to Cloud. :: CTO:  Make sure you keep the phasers below 50% for the first run, we need to work the new arrays in with the old ones gradually.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*CO*: Atreides here, how may I be of service, Sir?

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
*CMO*: Could you report to the bridge please?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*CO*: Of course, I'll make my way up there now. I should be with you shortly. 

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
*CMO* Very good, Darklighter out.

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
AXO: Understood sir, weapons set a 40 % power

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Raises from his seat and moves to the door. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Puts his coat on and heads out of sickbay::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Steps into a TL:: TL: Bridge.

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods again, half to himself. :: CTO:  10% increments after that until we hit 70%, then 10% ever other pass should give them enough of a warm-up.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Steps out onto the bridge and moves to the command area with the padd in his hand. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Steps out of the TL onto the Bridge and looks for the Captain. ::

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Stands as the CO enters the command ring. :: All:  Captain on the bridge.

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
AXO: Yes Sir

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Stands to attention as he hears the XO. ::

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
CO:  We just dropped out of warp a few minutes ago sir, ETA to the facility is 6 minutes.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
All: At ease, you'll rip your uniforms if you keep jumping up like that every time I walk by.

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Shrugs, with a slight smirk. :: CO: Protocol is protocol sir, get used to it.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Relaxes then walks over to the XO and CO::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CMO: Ah your here good, find a seat please. :: turns his attention to A'an. :: AXO: Good, I have news from command :: Holds the padd up. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
Self: Giggles

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
CO: Yes Sir. 

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Gives the CO a "Here we go again." look and nods. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Waits for Atreides to settle. :: AXO: You stay standing please.

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Stops and stands back up. :: CO:  Aye sir.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Takes a seat near an empty console. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Clears throat. :: AXO: Lt Commander A'an, in the last recent months you have risen above and the call of duty for the USS Seleya and have shown much command potential.  With that we at Starfleet Command take great pleasure in offering you the position as XO on board the USS Seleya.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Holds out the padd. :: AXO: It's you’re for the taking.

AXO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods, and then takes the padd. :: CO:  Thank you sir......I wont fail you.  :: Gets a stern look on his face. :: CO:  I promise you.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Nods and steps back. :: XO: I know, well done.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Now until you choose which one of your junior flight officers succeeds you please feel free to stay at helm for the testing.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. :: CO:  Thanks, I was a little unsure of what chair to sit in for the time being.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Nods to A'an. :: XO: Please take your station.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Sits and turns back to the CO. :: CO:  Speaking of which, we're in a holding pattern off the testing facility.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Turns to Atreides. :: CMO: As for you, stand here please. :: Points at the spot where A'an was standing. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
CO: Yes Sir. :: Walks over to the CO and looks at him. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CMO: With commander A'an now XO i need a new second officer, the decision of which is mine to make and not of command, and although your not a bridge officer, you are one of my most senior officers and I’ve served with you for a long time there fore I am offering you the position of second officer, it's not glamorous but it'll give you command for when myself and command A'an aren't around, do you accept?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Doesn't quite know what to say. :: CO: Of course sir, you know you can count on me...

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CMO: Very good. :: Nods and hands Atreides a padd. :: CMO: That’s just the official paperwork ect just to show it's in your service jacket.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Accepts the PADD. :: CO: Thank you. :: Nods at the comment about the service jacket. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Takes his seat. :: XO: Contact the testing facility and let them know we're here.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Waits until the CO and CMO are finished, then taps the COM.::  COM: Cmdr_Polestra:  Telos facility, this is the U.S.S. Seleya, reporting for systems test.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Walks to the back of the bridge and watches the screen for a while. ::

Host Cmdr_Polestra says:
@COM: Seleya: I was wondering what you were doing out there cluttering up my approach lanes. Welcome Seleya. Proceed to the weapons range to start your testing; Co-ordinates to follow.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
COM: Cmdr_Polestra:  Understood, proceeding now.  Seleya, out.  :: Turns the Seleya onto the co-ordinates and to the edge of the testing ground. ::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
CO:  Were in position sir, waiting for your orders to proceed.

Host Cmdr_Polestra says:
ACTION: The commander sends instructions to the Seleya on how to proceed.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CTO: Ok Lt it looks like your first, start with the phasers, make sure the new rings and in sync with the old ones and let rip.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Moves the Seleya into the first set of targets. :: CTO:  All you.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Cycle through all the firing arcs, we want all phaser banks fully tested, work with Cloud.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Makes his way to sickbay, as he'll probably be needed there soon. :: TL: Sickbay.

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
CO: Aye Sir, locking weapons on first targets

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. :: CO:  Aye sir.  :: Slowly banks the Seleya around the targets, turning her to allow for different firing tracks. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
CO: Firing..... Some systems appear to be out of alignment, correcting now.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Turns his head to Modalis. :: CNS: Counselor?

CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
CO: Sir?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Walks into sickbay and goes over to an MO. :: 
XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Puts the RTS system through its paces while maneuvering through the different targets. :: CTO:  Yeah, the RTS is a little slugging too.  I'll smooth it out as we go.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Makes a few adjustments, coordinating with engineering, and balances out the maneuvering thrusters. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
XO: Understood, changing to secondary targets, firing phasers

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CNS: As we are only system testing and i don't foresee any major issues, should you need any crew member be it counseling session I’m allowing you to take anyone you wish while the testing in taking place, should they not be needed for the current exercise of coarse.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Continues to pull the Seleya to and fro amongst the targets, suddenly gets a dark look on his face listening to the Captains statement, remembering the last session he had with the Counselor.  Thankful they can’t see his face. ::

CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
CO: Thank you, sir.  :: Gets up and leaves the bridge::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Nods to Modalis as she leaves::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
MO: Baggins, I want you to run a diagnostic of sickbay systems. Once you're done with that, I'd like you and Ralf to check our emergency equipment. It's fresh out of McKinley after our last battle so it should be in good condition, however we don't want it to fail on us in a real emergency. That'll be all for now.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Looks over his shoulder at the CTO. :: CTO:  Soon as you’re done bringing the phasers up to speed, I want to try a few tight maneuvers, see how they stack up in combat conditions.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
<MO_Baggins> CMO: Yes sir! :: Goes back to his station and starts the requested diagnostic. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
XO: Understood, Phasers set at 50% continuing to fire

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Walks into his office and decides to go over the inventory of things they picked up at Base. ::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Slowly begins to increase speed with each pass, bringing the impulse engines up faster and faster. ::

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Get a report off engineering; I want to know how the power levels are holding up.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CTO: How are the rings doing?

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Nods. :: CO:  Aye sir.  :: Taps his combadge, requesting a report from engineering. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
:: continues to change settings on the phaser array and the targets systems as the test continues::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: As he increases speed, he begins to break the Seleya off closer and closer to the targets, changing from slow swooping maneuvers to tight rolls, flips and turns.  ::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
CO:  Looks like she's getting her footing sir.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Good, hull stress?

Host EO_Panice says:
*XO*: Panice to A'an.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Checks the readout on the ships structural integrity. :: CO:  Looks good.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Taps his combadge. :; EO_Panice:  A'an here.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Excellent, a loop de loop if you'd please, need to give her a good test.

Host EO_Panice says:
*XO*: Uhm, sir, I would like to remind you that the engines also got overhauled andwell... you're giving them a bit too much of a workout right now. We're still tweaking some of the A/MA reactions.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
*EO_Panice*:  Well, that what tests are for, but well slow the pace a bit.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CTO: Keep on an eye on the target tracking sensors; see if they can cope with this loop.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns to the CO, smirks, and then pulls the Seleya through a tight series of loops before cutting back on the throttle. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Gets a cup of coffee from the coffee maker he has in his office, a gift from an old friend. ::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Reduces the inertial dampers slightly, on the med deck. ::

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
XO: Tracking ... ready sir

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Turns to the CO. ::  CO: Lets see how the doctors intestinal fortitude is holds up.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
XO: Have a clean up crew on stand by.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
:: Spills coffee over his uniform and crashes into his office wall as the Seleya goes through a loop::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*XO*: What the hell do you think you're doing?! ::holds on to something::

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Slows the Seleya back down to half impulse, continues the test. :: *CMO*:  Sorry doctor, there must be a problem with the inertial damping system.  I get someone on it immediately.

CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CTO: How did the phasers do during the loop?

CTO_LTjg_Cloud says:
:: flies back in the TL door: Self : I think the Anti-grav system needs to be fixed

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
*XO*: Thank you... If you'll excuse me, I'll be in my quarters getting changed.

XO_LtCmdr_Aan says:
:: Has a sudden wave of contentment wash over him.  All is right with the universe. ::
