Crew,

Today we will be taking a short shake down cruise in this sector to test our repairs and make sure we're in working order. However, first there is a small matter that need to be sorted.

You may expect Admiral Savek to be paying us a visit and I would like to expect that you will all treat him with the respect I know you always do. Following his arrival there will be a short meeting in the briefing room for which I expect you all to attend.

Afterwards we will begin our shake-down cruise.

CTO: During the Cruise, Bring all weapons to full power as we may be testing them

CEO: Run any final diagnostics you may need to and prepare for departure.

CSO: Prepare to run tests on the sensors and main computer

Best Regards,

Commander AJ Affleck.
Commanding Officer,
I.K.S. QIb
