::Directs his team to cut down some time of the level 1 diagnostic.:: *OPS*: Full power.. ::Thinks.:: No..  I'd probably prefer that they be gradually be brought up to 100%.   Probably at 10% increments.

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: The regular conduits should be fine. I'm a little less sure about the one for the Pulse Cannons. I'm also concerned about the total energy drain on the ship with full weapons and shields.

CNS_West says:
::Takes out a sketch PADD and makes figures  of a Pool, over in the corner::

Host Valar says:
::Walks over to the helm console:: FCO: Ready to go, Ensign?  ::Raises eyebrow::

*CMO*: Good.  If you have any problems Kara just let me know.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: She is a fine ship, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::turns and checks MSD behind him::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Thank you Captain. ::sits down and watches::

Host Valar says:
XO: ::looks at Hicks:: Yes, she is.  ::Grins::

CMO_Tae says:
*CEO*:  Will do.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The Erie clears the docking bay smoothly.

CNS_West says:
CMO:  you must be tired today.  Perhaps I can give you a hand with inventory and you can relax, OK?

SO_Brehgorn says:
::after leaving spacedock, begins to scan the area for vessels and unusual anomalies::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Watches the read outs of the Copperfield generator and the rest of the ships critical systems.:: *CMO*: Corjet out.

FCO_Svelth says:
::Maneuvers toward main docking bay doors::

CTO_Marek says:
::Takes a glance over the Main Screen::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Monitors the docking systems and smiles.::

Host Valar says:
FCO: Thrusters only until we clear the outer markers, Ensign.

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  Relaxing isn't exactly an option.  I have to do something.

SO_Brehgorn says:
::notices how quickly and precisely data from scans returns::

FCO_Svelth says:
CO: Aye Capt.  Thrusters only

Host Valar says:
XO: Hicks, we will soon find out how much she has to offer.

FCO_Svelth says:
::Exits docking bay:: CO: We have cleared the docking bay.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: I'm sure that will be quite a bit.

Host Valar says:
FCO: Acknowledged.  Inform me when we have cleared the outer markers.

CNS_West says:
CMO: OK, what would you like to do? Lets both find a project you will enjoy

CSO_Pavielion says:
::walks along the backside of the bridge, reading the reports from the ship's system, deciding the leave the SO at main science for a while::

OPS_Kerst says:
::turns back, and configures display to show sensors info on left, and ship systems on right hand display::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  Like what?

FCO_Svelth says:
CO: Yes Ma'm... sir.

Host Valar says:
::Leans over and whispers:: XO: You should see my Ready Room.  ::Grins::

SO_Brehgorn says:
::notices the CSO:: CSO: Sir, would you like your station?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gets up and quickly walks over to the main area of  ME and looks over at EO Sovok and then to the MSM, looking for any red flashing light.  Smiles and then heads back to his office.::

Host Valar says:
XO: How are your quarters?  I have not yet been to mine.

CNS_West says:
It will be made with you in mind!!

CIV_Danforth says:
::enjoys the fluid motions of the crew, watches everything going on and feels good about how well everyone is doing::

CTO_Marek says:
::starts long range tac sensors scans::

FCO_Svelth says:
::increases to full thrusters, heading toward outer markers::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Ruth> ::Finalizes her report.:: *CEO*: The shuttles and the shuttle bay systems are totally operational sir.  Any further orders?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Where do you think I will be when you are not around? ::grins back::  Except in your chair right here.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::looks up from his little tourist attractions::  SO: why?  Don’t you think you can handle it?  ::tries to grin::

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO Ruth*: Just keep an eye on things there Ensign.  Corjet out.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: My quarters are palatial, thank you.  I'm sure yours are quite nice.

CEO_Corjet says:
EO: Sovok? ::Starts making reports on the status of the U.S.S. Erie.::

SO_Brehgorn says:
CSO: Sir, with sensors this precise, I think a first year cadet could handle it.

EO_Sovok says:
CEO: Yes sir?

FCO_Svelth says:
CO: We are approaching outer markers....

Host Valar says:
XO: Well, hopefully I will get to see my quarters this trip.  ::Grins::

CNS_West says:
CMO: why are you not moving about, if you say that you need to be busy?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/FCO: Sensors no traffic in our area.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Good, then return to your post please, Ensign  ::grins and goes back to examining the ship's systems::

Host Valar says:
FCO: Very well.  Engage warp 6 as soon as we are clear.

Host Valar says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

SO_Brehgorn says:
CSO: Aye, sir. ::continues scanning the area::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  Well ... uh ...

FCO_Svelth says:
CO: Aye Sir... clearing outer markers... prepare for warp 6...

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Well you can always leave me in command and check them out.  I need to get a feel for the chair anyway. ::smiles::

OPS_Kerst says:
::watches power systems closely::

CTO_Marek says:
Bailey: take care of the sensors scans results. I will do some test on the internal security systems.

CNS_West says:
CMO: yes Doctor?

FCO_Svelth says:
::fingers dancing over the console:: CO: Engaging warp 6...

Host Valar says:
XO: I might take you up on that offer, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
<Bailey> ::nods to the CTO with his bear head::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: I am ready when you are, Sir.

FCO_Svelth  (WARP.wav)

Host Valar says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  I haven't exactly decided where to start.  I've organized some things, but that's as far as I've gotten so far.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::stands close to the wall and tenses up slightly as the ship gets ready to go to warp::

FCO_Svelth says:
::checks console:: CO: Capt.  we are at warp 6.  Headed to sect 74246.

OPS_Kerst says:
::watches power levels as ship goes to warp. Is pleased to see all is well::

CMO_Tae says:
::taps on the computer console on her desk::

SO_Brehgorn says:
::begins focusing long range scans on sector 74246::

Host Valar says:
FCO: Re-plot course to sector 75246, Ensign.

XO_Hicks says:
::Notices the CSO's tension::  CSO: Are you alright, Commander?

SO_Brehgorn says:
::refocuses sensor scans on sector 75246::

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: Told you P'Dar...nothing to worry about.

FCO_Svelth says:
CO: Aye.. sect 75246....plotted...

CTO_Marek says:
::amazed with the internal sensors system:: Himself: Yes, this is something...

CSO_Pavielion says:
::looks over to the XO::  XO: yes Sir, just not sure how smooth a ship's first jump to warp will be, or one of the first at least.  Thank you Sir for asking though.

Host Valar says:
::Stands from the Command Chair:: XO: You have the Bridge.  I will be in my Ready Room.

Host Valar says:
CIV: Care to join me, Lt?

XO_Hicks says:
CSO: Not a problem.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The CMO punches a button that activates the holo-doc

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_West says:
CMO: You miss him, don't you?

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::stands and follows the CO::

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: All systems are green and power levels are holding.  So far, so good.

XO_Hicks says:
::Moves to the command chair::

CMO_Tae says:
::looks at Toni::  CNS:  What?

Host Valar says:
::Walks to the Ready Room and enters heading straight for the replicator:: CIV: Something to drink, Lt.?

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  Grape soda please.

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Very well Lieutenant, thank you.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over the ships systems once again.::

Host Valar says:
::Stands in front of the replicator:: Computer: One glass of grape soda and a cup of hot tea.

SO_Brehgorn says:
::thinks he notices a slight anomaly, but concludes it was insignificant::

FCO_Svelth says:
::settles into chair, adjusting it for comfort::

XO_Hicks says:
FCO: How is she handling, Ensign?

Host Valar says:
::Takes the glass of soda and the cup of tea and walks over and sets them on the coffee table.  Sits down on the sofa:: CIV: Sit down, Lt.

XO_Hicks says:
::Thinking out loud:: This chair is much more comfortable than mine is!

Host Holo-doc_Marva says:
::walks into CMO's office:: CMO: Hello Doctor Tae. I trust you are well today. ::smiles ::

FCO_Svelth says:
XO:  Like a dream sir.  I can't wait to try some maneuvers with her though

CIV_Danforth says:
::sits down next to the CO as he takes the soda and waits::

Host Valar says:
::Reaches over and picks up her tea and takes a sip::

CNS_West says:
You and Temal were both Telepath' and I know you must have felt him at some time or another.

XO_Hicks says:
FCO: Understood.  Steady as she goes.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Grins:: XO: that's why it the Captain's chair.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::looks up as he hears a beeping, watches the SO examine it and decide it unimportant, walks over::  SO: make sure to scan for tachyon fields and subspace signatures, with Klingons, they may be cloaked at first and they would only show up as an anomaly.

Host Valar says:
CIV: Tell, me Lt., have you had time to go over the testing scenario?

CMO_Tae says:
Marva:  I don't think I know you ...

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  Of course I did.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir.  Very thoroughly.

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Agreed, but it's my chair too, sometimes.

CNS_West says:
Now, you don't feel him any more and it bothers you a bit, right?

SO_Brehgorn says:
CSO: Aye, sir.  ::begins scanning for tachyon fields and subspace signatures::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  You could say that ...

CSO_Pavielion says:
::catches self and walks to the other side of the bridge, wanting to  leave the SO in command of science systems for a while::

Host Holo-doc_Marva says:
CMO: I am series 7940A Holo-Doctor. At your service.

Host Valar says:
CIV: I assume you have a tactical plan?  We are ordered not to fire at the Bird of Prey so I hope you have some good evasive maneuvers planned.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: I think we can win.

CNS_West says:
CMO: What else, could be said...

CNS_West says:
::sees Holo -Doctor appear::

CMO_Tae says:
Marva:  Then how would you know me?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes some minor adjustments to the ships systems.  Making them off as minor that will probably need further refinements.::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  I don't know.

SO_Brehgorn says:
::references databanks for tachyon traces and subspace signatures known to be emitted by Klingon cloaking devices...runs scans accordingly::

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Kerst, how is our new power configuration holding up?

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: ::laughing at the deviousness of his plans with the CTO and OPS:; Yes, sir.  Lt. Marek, Lt. Kerst, and I have some wonderful surprises in store.  Would you like to hear about them?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the warp core with his tricorder and takes a scan.::

CNS_West says:
CMO: There seems to be something more...You have to help me help you, I am NOT Telepathic, you know!

Host Valar says:
CIV: Perhaps I should call Cmdr. Hicks in here to hear your plans.  One moment....please.  *XO* Commander, please report to the Ready Room.

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  I know that.

Host Holo-doc_Marva says:
ACTION: Everything on the Erie is running to spec.

CNS_West says:
::Looks at Holo-Doctor::

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: So far so good. The regular ship systems should be fine. It's those new systems, the Pulse cannons and EPI Screen that are most at risk since they're added on and not designed into the ship.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and logs the warp core data into the ships performance logs and sits down at his office.:: Self: Looking great! ::Traces his fingers across his console with a smile.::

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* On my way sir.  CSO: Micjoran, I guess you get to try out the chair as well.  You have the bridge.

CNS_West says:
CMO: why did you activate the Holo-doctor at this time?

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

FCO_Svelth says:
XO/CSO: ETA is 20 min

CSO_Pavielion says:
XO: acknowledged Sir, walks over and takes a seat, monitors ship systems.

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  I didn't mean to.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters the CO's RR:: CO: Sir.

Host Holo-doc_Marva says:
::smiles at the CNS:: CNS: Counselor West, how nice to meet you. I hope you are well today too.

Host Valar says:
XO: Ahhh.... Commander, please help yourself to refreshment and have a seat.

XO_Hicks says:
CIV:  How are you Danforth?

CNS_West says:
CMO:  Well, since you did let's have some fun with him, shall we?

CSO_Pavielion says:
FCO: how's she handling ensign?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Watches his automated diagnostic routines.::

CNS_West says:
::Acknowledges the Holo doctor::

SO_Brehgorn says:
::begins scanning for any communications on what Starfleet Intelligence has discovered to be "secure" Klingon channels::

CMO_Tae says:
CNS:  Um ... okay ...

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Great, thank you sir.

CTO_Marek says:
::so far the CTO can't complain about the tactical system performance...::

FCO_Svelth says:
::Smiles at the same question coming from the Capt chair... wonders if it is part of the seat itself::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Thank you sir.  ::To the replicator::  Cherry ginger ale.  ::Picks up the beverage and takes a seat::

FCO_Svelth says:
CSO: She is handling fine, sir.... like silk

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: I didn't pick you for a soda man, Commander.

CIV_Danforth says:
::smiling::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Ruth> ::Mills about making sure that everything is in place and working properly.::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: you going to be able to whip this thing around fast enough for us to use those pulse cannons when the time comes?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::grins and takes a seat, ready to start their first adventure with their new ship::

Host Valar says:
XO: Lt. Danforth is about to inform us of his test tactical maneuvers against the Birds of Prey.

Host Valar says:
CIV: Proceed, Lt.

XO_Hicks says:
::Smiles at Danforth::

Host Valar says:
::Sips her tea and looks at Danforth::

CNS_West says:
Holo doctor: Run a diagnostic on CMO Tae, she is not feeling well.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  ::looks at both the XO and the CO::

FCO_Svelth says:
OPS:  I hope so, sir.  She is a fair size for sharp maneuvers, but I think we can make a good turn.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::reviews data on the new systems, wonders if they should test them before they meet up with the Klingon ships::

CMO_Tae says:
::frowns at Toni's statement::  CNS:  I feel fine.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/XO:  You see, it all started with Lt. Marek's idea...

XO_Hicks says:
::Listens to CIV as he sips his beverage::

Host Holo-doc_Marva says:
CNS: Certainly Counselor. ::begins routine scan::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles as he sees that the ships systems, especially the Copperfield and EPI systems are working fine.::

Host Valar says:
::Nods at Danforth and sips her tea, listening::

OPS_Kerst says:
FCO: yes, I was surprised the fitted such a weapon to such a large ship. We shall see what we can do with them then.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/XO: We plan to engage the enemy at close range using our speed and agility to avoid any direct hits...

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/XO: Then....

CSO_Pavielion says:
::is amused to find the crew with so high moral over this new ship, including the Captain::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/XO: We plan to use the new shielding to redirect their fire against one another...

CTO_Marek says:
::can't hardly wait for the encountering with the kilngon's bird of prey::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO/XO: Coupled with some high speed warp maneuvering....
