Captains Log Stardate 10505.05

Host CO_Correz says:
I have boarded the USS Artemis for my first assignment as Captain. it seems that I have a number of new crew joining me as well, Starfleet command have tasked me with taking the ship for a trail run.

Host CO_Correz says:
it seems that I will also be taking my new Crew for a trial run as well, it will be interesting to see what both the ship and crew are capable of.. This I happen to say I am looking forward to

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::On the bridge of the U.S.S. Artemis, Oitan Hixxan can be heard underneath the Operations control console, doing last minute modifications to the ODN lines in the terminal. A clang echoes through the bridge as a tool is dropped, and a muffled grumble can be heard from the normally cheery Engineer::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Walks slowly on to the bridge looking a round trying to hide a smile on her face that she’s looking forward to her first command::

CIV_Gomes says:
@::carrying a large green bag on one hand and a box on the other she strolls down one of the Starbase corridors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan reaches over and grabs the Engineering tool once more and continues with his work, mumbling to himself...his mumbling slowly fades and turns into humming - some upbeat tune he picked up a few years back::

Host CO_Correz says:
::hears a slight clambering sound and glances towards the Ops consol::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : A few officers are posted on the bridge, looking over the auxiliary consoles

CIV_Gomes says:
@::stops at the hatch to the Artemis and nods to the security officer there. Then she passes through::

CIV_Gomes says:
@::enters a turbo lift and has to check a PADD to see where her quarters are. She orders the TL there::

Host CO_Correz says:
::walks over to the OPS consol and watches for a minute:; CEO: Commander is there a problem?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He sits up from his position on the floor and looks around, placing his tools back into their case. Humming along, he notices the Captain:: CO: No Captain, just completing some last minute modifications, ma'am. Nothing of consequence. ::He smiles brightly::

Host TAC_Veer says:
::touches a few buttons on his console::

Host CO_Correz says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Good is this ship ready to take out commander ?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Standing, the Bolian Engineer dusts himself off and taps several controls on the Operations board. A schematic of the Artemis appears on the display, along with summary of primary system's status:: CO: All green, Captain.

Host TAC_Veer says:
ACTION : Suddenly, the red alert klaxon comes on.

CIV_Gomes says:
@::enters her quarters and leaves the bag on the floor. Carefully she unwraps the box revealing a plant  inside a dome. It's a rose, but its leaves are green and its flowers blue. The atmosphere inside the dome seems to be thicker than the ship's::

Host TAC_Veer says:
::frowns:: CEO : Commander... I swear I didn't touch anything...

CIV_Gomes says:
@Self: I'll take care of the rest later

CIV_Gomes says:
::notices the claxons:: Self: Red alert on the starbase?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan gives a forced smile and looks back at the Tactical Officer. Turning back to his display he cancels the red alert and turns back to the Captain:: CO: All systems ready for departure...

CIV_Gomes says:
::adjusts her blue uniform and heads out::

Host SO_Min says:
ACTION : The Red alert klaxon stops.

CTO_T`Vok says:
::on his way to the bridge of the Artemis, tugging his collar straight one final time before the doors open::  Self: New Ship, new opportunities....  ::steps onto the bridge as the doors open::

CIV_Gomes says:
::frowns while she enters the TL:: Computer: bridge

Host FCO_Wang says:
::at the Conn, doing a quick diagnostics on the navigational sensors::

Host CO_Correz says:
::smiles at the TAC Officer :: CEO; excellent Commander thank you.. I thinks it’s about time we got everyone on their toes *Shipwide* This is Captain Correz all senior staff report to the bridge, we will be departing shortly

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::He smiles and turns from the Operations console, almost walking into the Vulcan T'Vok. Nodding once, he mumbles an apology and moves to the back of the room, near the Engineering display::

CIV_Gomes says:
::arrives at the bridge just as the Captain speaks::

CTO_T`Vok says:
::holding his pace as the CEO almost runs into him and raises an eyebrow, followed by a short firm nod before resuming his course for the command area::

CIV_Gomes says:
::approaches Correz:: CO: Commander Alexandra Margarida Gomes reporting for duty ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan takes a seat at the main Engineering display and logs himself in - noticing immediately as a junior officer moves to clean up the Operations display:: CO: Engineering reports ready, ma'am.

Host CO_Correz says:
::smiles at Gomes:; CIV: welcome aboard Commander I look forward to serving with you

CTO_T`Vok says:
::standing at attention for the CO::  CO: Ensign T'Vok reporting for duty as well, Captain...  ::glances at the CSO, then returning his focus on the CO::

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Release docking clamps and take her out

Host FCO_Wang says:
::checks the warp engines status, and the impulse engines as well:: CO : Conn reports ready, ma'am..

CIV_Gomes says:
::smiles back:: CO: Thank you Captain. When you have the time, I would like to have a word with you

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: When you have clearance to depart

Host FCO_Wang says:
::swivels his chair back:: CO : Aye ma'am.. ::swivels back to face the viewer, and starts the undocking procedure.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Umbilical connections detaching, we are currently running on independent power.

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO; understood

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Once we are out scan area, I want all systems checked

CIV_Gomes says:
::goes to the science consoles and eyes the young Ensign at science one. Immediately he steps aside and she takes the console::

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Airlock secure... Hatchway retracting...

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CO, forgetting protocol for now and returns to his station::

Host FCO_Wang says:
::comms the SB Operations to request permission for departure and quickly receives it::

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : All moorings clear... Engaging thrusters..

Host CO_Correz says:
::stands by her chair and smiles at T'Vok slightly amused::

CTO_T`Vok says:
::logs onto the tactical console, pulling all systems from standby and waiting for confirmation that they have cleared the starbase::

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The USS Artemis slowly begins to move, headed for the Starbase bay doors

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hixxan signals his Engineering teams to standby and prepares to power up the warp drive systems once they are clear of the station's outer markers::

CIV_Gomes says:
::runs an analysis of the internal sensors::

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The Artemis lurches slightly forward.

Host FCO_Wang says:
CEO : Commander... Looks like the thrusters are acting up again...

CIV_Gomes says:
FCO: Yes Mr. Wang, keep convincing yourself it’s the thrusters fault ::smiles::

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO/CEO: is it going to be a problem or something easily dealt with

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He sighs and rushes over to Engineering II, bringing up a preliminary diagnostic of the system:: FCO: Adjusting power levels, rerouting thruster power to thruster ports 3 and 4...

Host FCO_Wang says:
::grumbles:: CO : No ma'am... ::increases thruster power slightly, and watches as the velocity indicator slowly increases, smoothly this time.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Nothing that can't be resolved, Captain...::He smiles and then goes back to his display, attempting to compensate for the faulty thrusters::

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : 200 meters to bay doors...

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: you may want to test weapons when we are clear ::looks at the CEO:: Self Wow a happy Engineer

Host FCO_Wang says:
CEO : Thanks commander...

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : 100 meters to bay doors.

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Steady as she goes would hate to dent the ship on the way out :;smiles::

CTO_T`Vok says:
::glances at the starbase doors coming closer and closer::  CO: Aye, Captain.... May I suggest we find an asteroid field for the weapons test ?

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : I hope not, ma'am... I'm not planning on spending my next shore leave painting the hull..

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO; Agreed let me know when you have found somewhere

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods::  CO: Will do...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CTO: We may be able to test some of the Artemis' auxiliary systems at the same time, back-up shield generators, shuttle-crafts, tractor beams...::He smiles to the Vulcan Tactical Officer::

Host CO_Correz says:
::grins:: FCO: nah that the CEO's job

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Clearing bay doors... ::watches as the doors disappear from the viewscreen::

Host CO_Correz says:
::listens to the conversation between the CEO and the CTO: CIV: How’s Sci shaping up

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CEO::  CEO: I think that would be a good opportunity, Commander...

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The Artemis smoothly passes through the open doors, and out into open space.

CIV_Gomes says:
CO: The long range sensors need some adjustments but nothing that can't be fixed. All else is in nominal conditions

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : And.. We are clear of the doors.. Engaging impulse engines, 1/4 impulse.

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Heading ma'am?

CTO_T`Vok says:
::as the Artemis clears the starbase he activates the tactical sensors and begins an initial sensor sweep of the region, looking for a suitable asteroid field::

Host CO_Correz says:
CIV: Wonderful .. CTO: Scan for a asteroid field

CTO_T`Vok says:
CO: Aye, Captain.... doing so now...  ::glances at his tactical readouts::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He smiles brightly and glances over at the Specialist:: CIV: An asteroid field may be helpful in testing the Artemis' geology and planetary science labs...don't you agree Miss Gomes?

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: One moment

Host FCO_Wang says:
::nods:: CO : Aye ma'am.. I’ll just keep her heading straight for now.

CIV_Gomes says:
CEO: True but I was looking forward to something more interesting ... perhaps if the Captain would like to go in the vicinity of a singularity ::glances at her::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Once you have somewhere pass the co ordinates to Conn

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods as a positive ego appears on his readouts::  CO: I have located an asteroid field, it's at the edge of this system.... just past the 6th planet...   ::sends the coordinates to helm control::  coordinates sent to conn, Ma'am...

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Engage at warp 3

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Begins speaking out loud:: Outloud: You know what system has a wonderful display of asteroids? Mizani...five asteroid fields on rotating axis'...backed by a purple hydrogen nebula...absolutely breath-taking...

Host CO_Correz says:
::finally sits in her chair .. Albeit a little uncomfortably at the moment::

Host FCO_Wang says:
::shrugs:: CO : Aye ma'am.. ::wonders if it would be wise to go into warp inside a system, but decides to ignore his doubts and follow his orders:: Course laid in... Warp field deploying... Engines engaged...

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The Artemis jumps to warp for a few seconds, and then drops out again.

Host FCO_Wang says:
All : That was fun....

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO/CEO: report

CIV_Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CIV_Gomes says:
CO: Testing short range sensors on the asteroid field

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He glances down at his display and nods:: CO: All systems functioning within normal parameters, ma'am. ::He smiles once again::

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO: Well at least the Engines are running okay

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: The computer safeties have activated...preventing us from entering warp within the system...oh...wait...::He glances at his display::

Host CO_Correz says:
::turns to look at the CEO:

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Errr.. Not really ma'am.. We should have stayed in warp for a few more seconds.. We're still halfway to our destination.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: I'm detecting a minor imbalance within the warp core, it appears that the Matter/Anti-Matter ratio is off by .02...working to correct the error...::He pauses and begins to check the computer programming::

CTO_T`Vok says:
CO: Activating targeting scanners as we approach the asteroid field...  ::brings the asteroid field on his tactical readouts::

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Understood

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Continue at full impulse .. If we have that ::glances at the CEO ::

Host FCO_Wang says:
CEO : So can we move without stalling this time? ::swivels back, with a wide grin on his face::

CIV_Gomes says:
CO: There are a few ... well the best description is shadows on the sensors. It's probably a calibration problem

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Aye ma'am, that we do.. Engaging impulse engines, same heading..

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He nods and continues on with his work:: CO/FCO: All should be within order...completing final checks...

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO: Commander will this take long

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Ma'am.. Permission to test out a few sharp maneuvers... See if the navigational controls are handling correctly

Host CO_Correz says:
CIV: Continue scanning I have a thing about shadows that I don't like .. Keep me informed please commander

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: You have permission

CIV_Gomes says:
CO: aye Captain

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He glances at his display:: CO: Not long, Captain...the system will require minor calibrations when we come to a full stop - but we shouldn't have any more major problems...

CIV_Gomes says:
::runs a diagnostic on the sensors and begins recalibrating short range sensors::

Host FCO_Wang says:
::nods:: CO : Thanks ma'am.. Hang on to your seats everyone.. ::engages a set of maneuvers designed to test the climbing, banking and speed limits::

CIV_Gomes says:
FCO: Hang on to our seats? Inertial dampeners not working?

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: When we are in range let me know I want all targeting/tactical sensors and scanners checked

Host FCO_Wang says:
CIV : Oh sure.. Spoil the fun why don't ya.. ::grumbles slightly::

CIV_Gomes says:
::shrugs::

Host CO_Correz says:
CIV: I do hope they are

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He smiles at Gomes' joke and goes back to his work as the ship's impulse limits are tested:: FCO: I'm not detecting any malfunctions in the impulse drive systems, Mr. Wang.

Host FCO_Wang says:
::nods to himself as the results on the maneuvers come in:: CO : Ma'am... She's handling great.. Returning to previous heading...

CTO_T`Vok says:
CO: Aye, Captain....  ::glances at the navigational readings on one of his subscreens::

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Understood

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO: Status report

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::As he continues to work, a thought pops into his head and he speaks aloud without any warning:: Outloud: Anyone know what happened to the old crew? Were they reassigned...killed...removed from duty?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He pauses mid thought and goes back to Engineering I, accessing a primary system's list:: CO: All systems stable, Captain...

CIV_Gomes says:
::continues looking at those "shadows" and notices they seem to stay on the same relative position to the ship::

Host CO_Correz says:
::turns and looks:; CEO; they were re-assigned commander

CTO_T`Vok says:
CO: Captain, we've just entered weapons range, testing the targeting sensors as we speak...

Host CO_Correz says:
CEO: Do we have warp?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: We should...

Host FCO_Wang says:
CO : Approaching the asteroid field, ma'am.. Shall I take her inside it?

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: No we shall stay on the outside .. Hold position

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CTO: Re-routing power to tactical sub systems...::He brings up a power management display and routes additional power to sensors, targeting arrays, weapons and deflector shields::

Host FCO_Wang says:
::nods:: CO : Aye ma'am... All stop...

CIV_Gomes says:
::notices the sparse asteroid field and thinks the CTO will have fun with  such ... slow targets::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: it seems the floor is yours.. Or should I say the Asteroid field to play with at any rate

Host CO_Correz says:
CIV: Anything further on those Shadows ?

Host FCO_Wang says:
::swivels his chair back, since he has nothing else to do for now::

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods::  CO: Aye, Captain....  ::locks onto the first three asteroids in range and fires the phaser array, half power::  firing phasers at half power now...

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Display on Main viewer

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The phasers launch from the phaser array, heading in the direction of the asteroid... But missing by a few meters.

CIV_Gomes says:
::shakes head:: CO: The shadows are moving with us, just like a spot on a viewport would. It must be a sensor problem but we will have to get it fixed at the starbase

Host FCO_Wang says:
::swivels back to his console:: CO : Forward view on screen, ma'am.

CIV_Gomes says:
CO: Or if the CEO wants to go out to the main array and clean it ... ::winks::

Host CO_Correz says:
CIV: is there nothing you can do in the mean time

CIV_Gomes says:
CIV: Other than measure the CTO's accuracy no ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CIV: Miss Gomes, the sensor pallets are set to a specific scanning arc to conserve power...you could extend the scanning arc of each pallet - there-for overlapping sensor data...it should clear up any problems...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CIV: Just like how we have two eyes...to give us the complete picture. ::He smiles once more::

Host CO_Correz says:
;;Smiles at Gomes’s comment:: CIV: I'm sure it was equipment malfunction

CIV_Gomes says:
CEO: Yes Lt Commander, I know how a sensor works

CTO_T`Vok says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: Looking at it now, Ma'am....  it seems the tactical sensors are slightly out of sync... correcting the problem now...<

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stands from his chair and moves across the bridge to the Science display:: CIV: I can give you a hand modifying the sensor range, if you wanted...it wouldn't be a permanent change, but it might be helpful during the tests...

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Understood

CIV_Gomes says:
::glances up at the CEO:: CEO: Be my guest

CTO_T`Vok says:
::calibrates the tactical sensors again, making sure they're in sync again and fires phasers again at the targeted asteroids::

Host CO_Correz says:
::still sitting her chair listening to how her crew work together and what is going on::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He smiles and takes a seat next to the Science Specialist, giving her a slight nod:: CIV: Lt. Commander Oitan Hixxan, CEO. Pleased to meet you Miss Gomes. ::He sits next to her and glances at the sensor feed::

Host FCO_Wang says:
ACTION : The phaser shots connect, breaking apart one of the asteroids, and disintegrating the other. A fairly large chunk of the Asteroid is heading towards the Artemis.

Host FCO_Wang says:
::frowns:: CO : Ma'am.. I have a collision alarm.. Looks like that asteroid wants to fight back..

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Shields up and fire on that thing

Host CO_Correz says:
FCO: Move us out of the way

CIV_Gomes says:
CEO: I am Commander Alexandra Gomes and let me tell you I have worked with starship sensors my entire career

CIV_Gomes says:
CEO: So I have a slight idea of how they work

CEO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CIV: They're not my specialty, I'm sure you know more then me...but I'm always willing to help and give ideas. ::He smiles::

Host CO_Correz says:
CTO: Oh and red alert I believe that works :;grins::

CTO_T`Vok says:
::nods at the CO, raises the shields and brings weapons to full::

CIV_Gomes says:
::glances sideways at the Bolian and his bald blue head and can't help but smile as well:: CEO: New ideas are always welcomed

CTO_T`Vok says:
::pushes the big red button that says "reddy alert"::
