U.S.S. Scimitar – Mission Orders  Stardate: 10011.27

TO: Captain Edward Andersen, Commanding Officer USS. Scimitar NCC-80826
CC: Commander Lt Cmdr Henrietta Wagner, Executive Officer USS Scimitar
NCC-80826

FROM: Captain K'vin Bandra, Sector Commander
DATE: Stardate 10011.27
SUBJECT: Mission Orders

With the installation of the warp core Complete the USS Scimitar is to
run a series of Flight test and, if any adjustments or additional
repairs required can be completed out of dry dock, return to it's
assigned duty of patrolling the sector.

If a return to dry dock is required the Crew of the scimitar will be
temporarily assigned to another ship, to be determined at a later date,
to patrol this system while the Scimitar's repairs are completed.

U.S.S. Scimitar – Mission Briefing Stardate: 10011.27

TO: Authorized Personnel, USS Scimitar NCC-80826
FROM: Captain Edward Andersen, Commanding Officer
DATE: SD 10011.27
SUBJ: Mission Briefing, SD 10011.27

Crew of the Scimitar:

We still have some repairs to take care of, but the Scimitar has been cleared 
for flight tests within the system. Though I'm sure we will experience minor 
glitches, our primary responsibility is to test the new warp core for 
extended flight. Once our major systems are cleared, we'll be back on patrol.

XO: Supervise operations in engineering and report any anomalies as they 
happen.

OPS: Until the return of Lieutenant (j.g.) Thelev, you'll serve as Acting 
Chief Engineer. I'll need you to work with the XO on making sure all of our 
repairs hold. Also, log any systems that malfunction, but only send a team to 
fix them if they're top priority; minor repairs will have to wait.

CSO: Run both Science stations through diagnostics. Check the new EPS system 
for malfunctions and log any anomalies with the ACEO.

CTO: Be prepared to help with Operations duties on the bridge.

FCO: Engage standard test flight maneuvers and speed ranges. Give those 
engines a full test.

On a happier note, I'd like everyone to pass along your best wishes to our 
former captain, Aurel Ian-Bandra, who gave birth to a pair of twin boys 
recently. Let's welcome them into the extended Scimitar family.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: well, it looks like you'll be stuck with me for a while

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::Brings up the data about the EPS lines::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Once we're clear, set course to 075 mark 215 and engage at one-quarter impulse.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: that's alright, you pick things up fast enough  ::smiles::

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::uses hypo on patient:: Self: that ought to take care of that nasty little infection

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: The scimitar pulls out of drydock with grace and ease, even if she does drift a little to the left.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
OPS: Ensign, monitor plasma flow and report any anomalies to Lieutenant Hammond in engineering.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::adjusts thrusters to compensate::

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO: Aye. ::Keeps an eye on the plasma flow::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::keeps an eye on the scimitar's flight path and checks the warp core for a brief moment::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::runs fingers over his console and brings up the speed of the ship::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: once clear the ship pivots and heads off on it's assigned course

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CO: Plasma temperature 2.5 million Kelvin and stable.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: lets keep on top of the readings, I don't want any surprises

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
::feels the reassuring motion of the ship as she heads out:: FCO: When we're clear of the defense perimeter, ease her up to full impulse.

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::Makes note of changes in a patient::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: already on Joe

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
*ACEO* Bridge to engineering...Mr. Hammond, that warp core ready for a good solid test?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: I'll inform you when I do so sir.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*CO* it's ready when ever you are sir

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Sir?

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::grins at the CEO's comment::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Yes, Lieutenant?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: There is a slight variance in the flight sensors. they are off by 0.00573 of a degree.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CO: I can confirm FCO's measurement.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
::furrows eyebrows, thinks a second:: FCO: Recalibrate them using baseline readings. Work with Ensign Sasik.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
FCO: We can recalibrate them using the data from SRS systems.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO, CSO: And make sure to log the variance. We're going to start keeping good records on any post-repair glitches so the techs can work on them later.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Long and short range sensors are clear...nothing to detect in the vicinity...

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Always good to know... FCO: How are the impulse engines holding up?

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
::Recalibrating navigational sensors.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Fine, so far.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::transfers his data to the CSO's console::

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO: Incoming transmission from Starbase 51!

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
::chuckles:: OPS: On screen.

Host Kevin says:
@<Station Ops> COM Scimitar: Starbase 51 to Scimitar.

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
::puts the transmission on screen::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
COM: SB51: Starbase 51, Scimitar here.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CO: Impulse engines are functioning properly. No problems there.

Host Kevin says:
@<Station Ops> COM Scimitar: we're monitoring your progress, ready for warp testing.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::walks around ENG watching the crew at work::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
COM: SB51: Roger that, 51. Getting ready to crank them up now. Scimitar out.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Clearing defense perimeter, sir. Course locked in.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Mr. More, increase speed to Warp 1 and engage.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Confirmed, engaging.

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::hears an alarm go off in sickbay:: self:: darn. I thought  he was improving.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
OPS: Ensign, monitor warp propulsion systems.

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Adds it to the list of things to monitor::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: with the familiar hum of massive energies building up the ship jumps into warp with a brilliant flash of light... and a slight bump

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::watches as the engines engage::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
::feels bit of a bump just before ship jumps to warp:: Self: What the...that felt more like a Saturn V than a warp jump.

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::runs over to biobed 1 and starts giving orders::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::feels the Scimitar jump into warp not entirely smoothly and checks the warp core readings::

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
All: Checking Inertial Dampeners...

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO: Want me to check in on Engineering what that was?

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::checks the readings on the engines::

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::administers hypo to patient, watches readings::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: I want to know what caused that little bump

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::hands race over console::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: right away  ::searches for the cause::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::whispers:: Computer? Current location of Ensign Atlanta Rooks...

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
OPS: Do it.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
*ACEO*: There's a small anomaly in the subspace field created by warp nacelles. I suggest you realign the subspace field matrixes of both warp nacelles.

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
*ACEO* What was the cause of the bump?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
<Computer> Ensign Rooks is in Ensign van den Ende's quarters

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::sighs::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*CSO* thanks, I'll get on it

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*OPS* checking on that now

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Increase warp by .5 every minute, unless we run into a problem.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: confirm Sasik's readings and fix the problem

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CTO: The EPS is stable for weapons testing.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CSO: Understood...we'll commence when we reach a suitable testing site..

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood. Program set

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: There's an asteroid field about 10 minutes or so away on our present course...it's been cleared for testing.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Understood, Captain...I'll get the new EPS weapons ready...

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: confirmed and realigning them now

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the Scimitar proceeds through the warp values to 6.5 without incident

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::begins activating the EPS weapons array to 20%::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: The testing has brought us up to warp six point 5 sir.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: we have a warp field variance of 0.000573

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: That puts us close to optimal cruise velocity.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::tries to adjust the warp field::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Prepare to take us up incrementally to maximum warp for 10 seconds, then ease it back down to impulse once we reach the test range.

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::Sighs as the patient slowly improve, notices medical scanner and tricorder bouncing on their tray::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::finishes his last minute diagnostics on the weapons systems::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Understood, warp engines ready for maximum warp.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
*ACEO*: We seem to have the same misalignment in warp field as we had in the navigational sensors. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
FCO: Engage.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*CSO* I'm adjusting it now, it should read ok

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: Beginning warp jump

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the remainder of the warp tests go without incident. within minutes the Scimitar is slowing to impulse just outside of the asteroid system

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::slow as to impulse::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: We are just outside the field, sir

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::scans the asteroid field::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Scanning the asteroid field now, Captain...

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Okay, Mr. Rosenberg...your show. Targets have been set up within the field, marked by beacons...you are weapons free.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Understood, Captain...

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::starts going over any problems during the warp testing ::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::brings the weapons array to full power and locks onto the designated targets::

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
::Checks that sensors are properly aligned.::

MO_LTJG_Austin says:
::goes and sits down in the CMO's office::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
::watches the screen as CTO locks onto targets::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: well, we made it through the warp test in one piece.  That’s a good sign.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::frowns at the readings::  CO: Captain....the ventral phaser systems are 12% under the expected power limit..

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ::chuckles:: ACEO: yeah, that it is

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Log the difference. OPS: Check power flow to the ventral phaser array, Ensign.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Understood...commencing testing now...

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO/CTO: Power checks out fine here, sirs.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::programs the firing sequence and fires phasers on the first set of 5 targets::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Phasers fired..

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::looks at the view screen::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: all five targets are hit, 4 dead center the 5th 20 degrees off

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
::Running diagnostics on tactical sensors.::

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO/CTO: power loss tracked to secondary phaser system drawing active power when on standby

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
::wakes up in his quarters still completely  worn-out from the run trough that SFI gave him in that exercise::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::looks at his console to see the exact target firing results::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
OPS: Good work, Ensign. Since it's only 12 percent, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it...still, go ahead and switch secondary system's power to manual and force it into standby.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
::lists everything according to importance::

OPS_Ens_MacKenzie says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Switches it into manual & the secondary into standby mode::

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Results look good, Lieutenant...since we had sensor problems, I'll forgive you the fifth shot.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::logs the results into the weapons test directory and programs the next firing sequence while running a diagnostic on the variance::

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
*ACEO*: There's the same .000573 misalignment in tactical sensors also. This is a systematical mistake in many systems that take use of advanced geometry.

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
::get in to the sonic shower and gets back in to uniform and heads on out of his quarters walking to the nearest TL::

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*CSO* you noticed the pattern to

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
::enters the TL:: TL : Bridge

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::smiles::  CO: I've found the problem, Captain, I'll try and recalibrate it and do another set of phaser shots on the remaining targets

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
*CSO* I'll find out who did those checks and recheck any other system they did.  that should fix our problems

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Not necessary, Lieutenant...we can test the sensors using the torpedoes.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Aye, Captain....

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
*ACEO*: I agree. Just small but far effecting software miss-programming.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::quickly corrects the variance in the tactical sensor array and begins loading the photon torpedoes::

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
::arrives at the bridge and tries to suppress a yawn but fails to do so completely:: Self: ::out loud:: YAWN

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
::heads on over to the science station trying to figure out what is going on::

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
SFI: Good morning, lieutenant.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
SFI: Lieutenant...glad you could join us.

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
J'rel: find out who did the repairs on those systems and any other systems they may have done and fix them

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::programs the final firing sequence and fires a volley of 5 torpedoes at the set of targets::

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
CSO: is it morning already...::grins::         CO: glad to be back Sir

ACEO_LtJG_Hammond says:
<J'rel> ACEO: I'll get right on it

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: each torpedo strikes the targets right where they should.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::sighs and again looks over to the inertial dampers::

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
CO: As the viewscreen tells, all torpedoes hit their target.

Host CO_CAPT_Andersen says:
CTO: Well done, Lieutenant. FCO: Mr. More...plot a course back to Starbase 51 and engage at best speed.

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
::smiles at the results::

CTO_LtJG_Rosenberg says:
CO: Thank you, Captain...all 5 torpedoes where a optimum hit...no corrections needed..

SFI_LtJG_Hardy says:
CSO: could you fill me inn on what’s going on here......think I have been a sleep since we left the Star base ::smiles::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
CO: understood. Warp 6.6, Engaging.

CSO_Ens_Sasik says:
SFI: We have been testing the Scimitar systems after the installment of the new warp core.
