TIME LAPSE SINCE LAST MISSION: Twenty Four Hours

"Upgrades, Part II": Lieutenant Peterson came aboard from the USS New Hampshire to install some LCARS upgrades, and communications array protocols and other tasty computer stuff.  The Operations and Chief of Security officers were less than pleased at this and insisted upon a full day of additional tests over and above the tests run by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers over the last several months.  Neither Peterson nor Starfleet were too happy with these delays because Peterson is due at another starbase in forty eight hours and now can no longer get there fast enough.  A full day has passed and Chambers and Powers can't think of any other tests to run, so reluctantly, the team has agreed to let Peterson take the computer core offline.

ACTION: All lights and consoles on the station begin to switch off, emergency lighting turns on, turbolifts grind to a halt and stop, life support and artificial gravity remain operational

Lt_Peterson says:
Self: Ok, here we go… ::begins data transfer of upgrade::

ACTION: With the communications relay offline, all combadges automatically switch over to the Quirinus' systems

CEO_Ens_Takor says:

Lt_Peterson says:
CEO: I appreciate that you don't seem as nervous about upgrades as the OPS and CSec officers
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:*CEO*: Sending you an incident report. :: hits the send button.::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
Peterson: I was a little but our best efforts haven't found anything so nothing to be done except hope it goes quietly.::She smiles slightly.::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Looks a little puzzled::*CNS*: Understood. Peterson: Excuse me. ::Turns her station over to another engineering and looks at her PADD::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::takes a seat in the big chair on the bridge::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits quietly in a darkened ops::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Quickly reviews the CNS's report::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Peterson: How long should it take for full restoration.
Lt_Peterson says:
OPS: Data transfer is going steady, the transfer will be done in 12 minutes, followed by a 10 minute load of the OS and a 5 minute restart of all systems, unless there are complications, should be back up and running in 27 minutes
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Peterson: Is there anything you need me to do for this to go smoothly?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Notes a few instances of slight electronic shock prior to shut down, sends a few engineers with lights etc. to either fix or lock down those minor consoles that seemed to be glitching. Returns to her station.::
Lt_Peterson says:
OPS: Not really, assuming it goes smoothly it's all automated from here
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: No longer needed for the moment, she heads out for the bridge.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec* Got a minute?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: What is it, Commander? :: Watches a security team shoo another couple of young people off the Promenade ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec*: Where are you? I'm on the bridge of the Q ::takes the glass from the yeoman:: Having a beer. Care to join me?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Tries very very hard to not face palm :: *XO*: Some of us work, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Taking the long route, needing the exercise anyways.::

ACTION: The data transfer finishes a couple minutes early, and the installation process begins

CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Continues to monitor the transfer and installation.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec*: I just did the new duty roster. You are....::looks at the PADD he's holding:: 'Off' In seven minutes.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::checks the system status updates:: *CEO*: Things seem to be going well here how are things on your end Chief?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: So far so good, no glitches or hold ups...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::rises and carefully crosses to view::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::A little concerned actually but unwilling to jinx it by saying so.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Isn't quite certain what to say :: *XO*: .... right.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Peterson: I have to admit this is going a lot better than I had expected. Sorry about earlier Lieutenant.
Lt_Peterson says:
OPS: That's alright Lieutenant, I understand your fear
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec*: Commander Powers. Report to the bridge of the Quirinus.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Peterson: It was not fear Peterson it was prudence.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Engineering personnel from their positions throughout the station check in with the CEO, all quiet, minor repairs completed. Standing By.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec*: Commander Powers. Report to the bridge of the Quirinus.
Lt_Peterson says:
CEO/OPS: Install Complete, beginning system restart
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*XO*: This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. :: Taps his combadge to close the channel ::

ACTION: Systems slowly start to power back up, starting with tactical systems

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Arriving at the command center, slightly out of breath, she pauses::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CSec*: You're really going to disobey a direct order?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Checks systems as they come back online.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::checks to see if any other systems have come back online yet:: Peterson: I wonder why tactical had the first start-up priority.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: crosses over to Sulek::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over at the Counselor:: Azhure: Long walk?

ACTION: Consoles in Operations come back online

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::puts Commander Powers on report::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CO: Yes. But given how quickly things have gone back online, I could have waited.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::with his console coming back now he starts to run a sweep of all primary systems::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at the ops crew:: All: Station checks all systems and send report.

ACTION: Turbolifts come back online

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: From your breathing, you might need the exercise for the events to come.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CO: You try caring an extra person around.

ACTION: Lights come back online

CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: Systems nominal.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Primary control is being restored to Arcadia Operations as we speak. You should have access to command and control now.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I have. Just not for a term of several months.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Reading green here too this has gone really well.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chambers: full system check in process
Computer says:
*All*: System power up complete, all systems online and functioning within normal parameters
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*:I know.. ::Sounds a little disbelieving.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: smiles::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: How may I be of service to you?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::runs a basic diagnostic on primary systems operational status looking for anything odd::
Lt_Peterson says:
Computer: Perform a operating system scan level 4
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Runs her own dialogistic::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CO: With systems offline, I moved all of my appointments and helped out in medical. At the moment, there is nothing requiring my attention. :: shrugs lightly:: Thought I would just wander up and get some exercise.
Computer says:
Peterson: Memory checksums intact, LCARS operating system 100% intact
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Systems are looking good from here.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: Engineering diagnostic comes back clean.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: You are always welcome here.
Lt_Peterson says:
OPS/CEO: Looks good, I suggest you run a full diagnostic to be sure, but I think we are in business
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Engineering just reported back all good down there.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
*CEO*: Thanks Chief I sent your report on to the CO.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CO: Sounds like everything is going well and should be online quickly. And hopefully remain well for our paranoid crew. ::smiles::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
*OPS*: We can run an in depth one later but all seems well now.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::She looks at the console readouts in mild amazement at things continue to run smoothly.::
