Host Jyg_Lo says:
The crew of the USS Halas take their places on their new-but-old ship. As they find their way around the unfamiliar halls, they must find that same new identity.

CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Walking out of the TL onto the remodeled bridge.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::In main engineering, getting used to it::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Leaving the science debrief, she begins her way to the bridge.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::re-enters Main Engineering, having stepped out briefly during a diagnostic of the antimatter pods::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Enters the bridge from the briefing room and takes her seat in the Captain's chair, crossing her legs.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Mr. Davis. So what do you think?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Steps into the lift and orders it to the bridge.::
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: The Communications panel on the bridge lights up. Base Control on Starbase 214 has cleared Halas for departure.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CEO: It's a ship, I cannot argue with that!
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CEO: I'm glad to be out of the Starbase either way, sir.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks around the bridge a bit then takes a seat next to Commander T'Shara.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off, her eyes narrowing as she looks around the still unfamiliarity of the bridge.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods to the Counselor as he takes a seat.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: She's probably got a lot of history behind her. I'm just glad to be off that station. Too bad about Daylan though.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her eyes settle on Commander T’Shara.  For a minute images of the past blur her vision.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Opens up the panel on the arm of her chair seeing the comm from SB214.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Turns to T'Shara.::  ACO: Commander.  Looks like everything is in order.  Chairs are a bit lumpy for my taste though.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Reaches up to rub her tired eyes.  Then steps forward and down to the Captains seat.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stands up and tries to fluff the seat cushion a bit before sitting back down.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods, still disappointed:: CEO: Time passes and you must move on.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::turns to Renor from the comm::  CNS:  Aye, Counselor.  Maybe something you can work on.  ::raising an eyebrow and turns her attention to the CSO.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Commander... you asked me to report to you.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Are we ready for the shakedown cruise? Everything looks good to me.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Counselor please take the helm.  We have been cleared for departure.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances at the counselor wondering why he is flying... and if it is safe.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::holds the padd up:: CEO: I just checked the antimatter pods....things look good from down there. Filled to the brim..
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Good.
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: On the sensors, the supply ship Burro-2 drops out of warp, heading for Starbase 214. Base Control repeats the clearance because they need the docking space.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: Hayward to T'Shara. We're ready to go down here.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods, not having seen anything or heard any reports of any systems being flagged::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*All hands*:  This is Commander T'Shara standby to leave Starbase 214 for Halas shakedown cruise.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks a bit surprised.::  ACO: Aye ma'am.  ::Stands and moves to the helm station.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Understood Commander standby.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: I'm heading for the bridge. Let me know if anything comes up.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Steps back up and over to science, logging on and activating sensors.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Takes a seat and looks over the controls.::  Self:  Hmmmm.  Not as easy as a Ferengi Marauder, but simple enough.  ::Taps a few buttons to bring up the impulse engine status.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Take us out slow and easy Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks the area over, making sure it is clear for them.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye Commander.  *COMM*: SB214: Starbase 214 USS Halas ready for departure.
Host Jyg_Lo says:
SCENE: An unfamiliar hum of engines shudders through the ship, disconcerting the crew who are used to a much different ship.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CEO: Aye, sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::leaves engineering::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks to the CSO::  CSO: Aye Lieutenant I wanted to speak with you.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Taps a few more buttons to bring the maneuvering thrusters online and slowly brings the Halas away from the docking mores’.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Logically looks down at the deck plating then over to T’Shara.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: The area is clear on sensors.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Docking mores’ cleared Commander.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Acknowledged Lieutenant.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: I would like to speak to you in my Ready Room once Commander Hayward has made it to the bridge.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Engaging maneuvering thrusters for a 180 degree turn to bring the Halas around to the outer docking doors.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods and turns back to the sensors.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::sits down at one of the stations, quickly becoming his favorite in Engineering, and begins compiling the day's various reports::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes his station:: Computer: Transfer engineering to the bridge.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pulls up the sensor array blueprints.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::sorts reports by priority, with the engines coming first and foremost; he reviews each report briefly::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::looks over his console:: *EO*: Mr. Davis, it looks like the engines are running a little hot. See what you can find out.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over to the CEO as he takes his station.::  CEO: Commander you have the bridge.  I will be in my ready room.  ::Gets up from her chair and heads for the ready room.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::surprised:: ACO: Aye.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Slowly brings the impulse engines online and proceeds at a nice slow space to the outer doors.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::takes the big chair::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Locks her station and turns to follow T’Shara::
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: As Halas approaches the outer bulkheads of the station, large space doors start to open to the black and stars they're so familiar with.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: Aye, sir.  We'll have a look.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Enters the Ready room and takes a seat::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Sir maneuvering thrusters are working within the green and impulse engines are responding.  We will clear the outer doors in 3 seconds..  ::Returns his attention back to the Helm.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: The doors swooshing closed behind her; she moves to stand before the desk at attention.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Initiates a Level 4 diagnostic first to see if anything glaring appears wrong::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Take her out easy Lt. There are alot of kilometers on this ship.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO:  Aye sir proceeding at 1/8th impulse.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Sir any specific heading?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Watches as the entire ship clears SB214.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::monitors the scan carefully, feeling more intrigued as the status bar progresses from left to right::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Just get her out and take it for a spin. Go to warp as soon as we're far enough away from the station, plot any course you like.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Aye sir.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Increases speed to 1/2 impulse to get some room between the station and themselves.::  CEO: 1/2 impulse sir.  Engines are at 0.6c.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Lieutenant I will make this as brief as possible.  Despite what has happened we are all in agreement that the trial was completely fixed from the beginning.  But, I need reassurance that you are still an active member of this crew.  As a senior Science officer I count on your abilities.
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: Burro-2 passes Halas, her crew curious where Starfleet dredged up that old-ass ship, pointing and laughing as they make their way into the station.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Until my orders come through, I will perform my duties to the best of my abilities.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: About those orders I would like you to reconsider and stay aboard with us.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: I find it hard to remain part of something I have lost faith in.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Starts receiving some minor glitches::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: Davis to Hayward.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::places hands on hips as he continues to look at the incoming report::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Hayward here.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Passing 3000 Kilometers increasing to full impulse.  ::Increases to full impulse.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: There looks to be a few seals along the starboard power transfer conduit that are just a little loose.  The heat seems to be worsening the problem gradually, though.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: I understand you have lost faith but it is something you need to work through and grow as an officer.  Despite what imperfections Starfleet has it is not fair to you or your career to run away.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: The diagnostic seems to indicate that this is the cause of the heat.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: We'd better hold off on going to warp then.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Hold us steady - impulse only.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods to no one in particular, as seems to be his custom::  *CEO*: Agreed. I'll head to the sections in question right now.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: See if you can correct the problem asap.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: It is not a matter of running away.  It is a matter of finding a place I belong and believe in.  I joined the Federation for my family.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Sir we are clear of the station and can proceed to warp on your orders.   Current heading is 134 mark 4 at full impulse.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Hold us steady - impulse only.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: We have a small problem in engineering.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Grabs an Engineering kit and exits Main Engineering::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Full impulse only aye sir.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Heads straight down the corridor with kit in hand::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Enters a stray Warp Systems Access room to his right::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: I realize that your family is not together on the same ship anymore but that can't stop you from doing what you enjoy.  While, one family member left you still have a whole ship that is your extended family that is counting on you.  And if you leave you will be hurting all of them.
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: There's a high-pitched squeaking sound that only Renor can hear on the bridge. It's very annoying. Like nails on a chalkboard or a boy band.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::wonders why Starfleet gave them this ancient ship to begin with::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Presses the console by the Jefferies Tube, and the door opens with ease; he climbs in::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks disbelieving, then shakes her head:: aCO: I am not enjoying myself.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Slides the kit ahead of himself and climbs, taking note of the section numbers as he progresses::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Twists his head trying to get rid of the noise before looking around the bridge.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Sir do you hear that?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Reaches the section G-12 and runs his tricorder over the panel::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Hear what?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks back over the helm controls.::  CEO: God that horrible squeaking.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: My hearing is not as acute as that. Can you tell where it is coming from?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Accesses warp systems through his tricorder, surprised to see the problem slowly subsiding; nevertheless, he removes several tools from the kit::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: No use sir, but its coming from all over.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Takes his hands off the helm and tries to cover his ears.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: I'll look into it.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Status?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::gets up from her chair and takes a seat on the edge of the desk.::  Would you consider transferring to another department on this ship? I really don't want to lose you as an officer.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Picks out a special laser tightener and places it over the seal, activating the device::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO:  I would consider this a personal favor if you consider staying.  We will continue this further after you have had more time to think.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::holds tool with right hand and taps comm badge with left - very awkwardly, at that:: *CEO*: I think we've got it under control, sir.  You're good to go.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: There is only one area I am trained for... nor any area that interests me. Commander, forgive me.  At the moment, words are nothing to me.  Maybe something in the future will change my mind before my release, but... ::shrugs::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Stands::  CSO:  You may report back to your post.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods and turns to leave.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Moves the device with some proficiency even though he's using one hand::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Follows the CSO out of the Ready Room and walks over to Commander Hayward on the Bridge.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Commander report.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: The doors separate at her approach as she heads for her station.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO:  Sir.  There it was again.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Places tricorder over the seal, checking its new status::
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: The new valve seal reads green to Commander Davis.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Nods with approval, then moves to the next one and scans it with the tricorder just to be sure it is secure, too::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: We've got a problem with one of the starboard power transfer conduit seals –we’re holding off on going to warp, also there seems to be some kind of vibrational sound that only the counselor can hear on the bridge.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Notes that the problem has subsided with this seal::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Closes the tricorder and places it in the kit::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: I'm trying to determine where it's coming from ::returns to his station::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Wait there when you got up.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: It's stopped.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Logged back onto her station, listening to around her, she pulls up internal sensors.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood Commander.  Keep me posted on the problem.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: I'll still look into it. A ship this old...could be anything.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CEO: Aye sir but its not there anymore.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Places the other tools into the kit::  *CEO*: I'm finished here, Commander.  Heading back to Main Engineering now..
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Takes her seat::  CNS: What is our position?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: Ohh.  God there it is again.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: We're clear to go to warp. The problem has been solved.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finds nothing that might disturb the counselor and looks over external sensors.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Slides the kit back towards the entrance and starts crawling back out::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Tries to work under the constant noise.::  ACO:  We are now 4500 kilometers from SB214 heading 134 mark 4 at full impulse.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Initiates a diagnostic on acoustic dampeners::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods::  CNS: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Take us to warp.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Very good Commander.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Notes the nebula clouds and asteroid field.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.  ::Engages warp engines and proceeds to warp1.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Watches as the warp velocity report becomes active.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Watches the console as they go to warp.::
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: In a flicker of pseudo motion, the Halas' quad nacelles flare white and the ship hops to warp, smoother than Claymore does....did... 
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Ma'am we are at warp factor 1.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: All systems are functioning normally.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Shall I continue up the warp chain?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Aye proceed Lieutenant let's see what she can do.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Exits the tube and makes his way out of the access room::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Very good Commander.  Let's hope it stays that way.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Keeping an eye on sensors, goes through the science roster putting together the new shift, mixing the new officers with the old.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.  ::Proceeds to warp 2, 3, 4, 5,... 9.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Sits legs crossed watching as they hit warp 9.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Walks somewhat leisurely towards Main Engineering::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Ma'am warp 9.1.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Deflector dish operation is at 98.3%.
Host Jyg_Lo says:
ACTION: Halas is handling the high warp speeds well, which is surprising, since everyone on the ship feels like high-school seniors wringing out their $600 VW Rabbit on an empty road.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Understood.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Re-enters Main Engineering and heads back to his station::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: I want to find out the top speed.  Have main engineering ready to power down the warp drive in an emergency.  Let's see if we can push her above 9.2.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: Aye.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: We're going to push these new engines - be alert.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Take us up to 9.2 and incrementally push us past Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCO: Sensor diagnostics and general testing completed.  They are at norm.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Proceed as ordered.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.  We're standing by.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye going to warp 9.2.  ::Increases the Halas to 9.2.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: 9.2...
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: 9.21...
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: 9.23
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::Feels the extra three tenths::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: 9.25...
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Feels the extra two tenths::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO/CEO: 9.27 and we are reading 1633 Cochrane’s.
