CO_Capt_Adams says:
CNS: Counselor, sorry, didn't mean to not answer you… guess I'm also caught up in this launch. Traditionally, Counselors sit to the left of the Captain, so I assume that's your seat ::points::

CO_Capt_Adams says:
CTO: Good,

FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: watches the screen as the Pandora glides forward ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:

:: engages the impulse drive and times the seconds ::

CO_Capt_Adams says:
CEO: Engines?

OPS-Lt-Qui says:
:: Switches the view screen from aft to front ::

DO_LtJG_Trix says:
CSO: Mind if I take a look at the sensor readings for curiosity’s sake?  Just wondering how the graviton scans look on this new of a ship.

CSO_Lt_T`Luminareth says:
DO:  Sure, knock yourself out.  ::grins at her.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Silek says:
::nods:: CO: Satisfactory Captain. Translation... great Sir.

CNS_Ens_C`Triel says:
::almost starts when the view on the screen changes::  Softly: Oh, myyyy!

DO_LtJG_Trix says:
CSO: Thanks.  ::Turns and takes a look at the Graviton readings, comparing them to the Scorpius.::

FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: begins to increase their speed gradually ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::walks next to the FCO console and watches the console as she maneuvers::

CSO_Lt_T`Luminareth says:
