Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Walking down the docking port corridor, he sees the hatch leading to the Artemis in the distance.::

CIV_Turner says:
::Sits in his quarters and fiddles with a module that ties the helm into the tactical systems.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Watching his console and straightens out his uniform to look sharp when the new captain arrives on the bridge.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Approaches the hatch and stands still fixing his uniform, waiting for the new captain to arrive.::  Self:  I hope he isn't one of those old boring Captains that follow rule book blindly!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  On the bridge, a beep on one of the console signals the transport of Captain Correz from the Ship's sickbay to the Starbase's Medical ward.

CIV_Turner says:
::Satisfied with his work he stands up and proceeds from his quarters to the bridge to install the new module.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Approaching the hatch, he sees an ensign in red, seemingly waiting for someone.  He approaches him and clears his throat.:: FCO:  Hello, ensign.  Say, would this be the USS Artemis?  ::He chuckles after speaking those words.::

CIV_Turner says:
::Enters a TL.::  TL:  Bridge.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Walks onto the bridge, looking around.  Moves awkwardly to the Tactical console, and clears his throat.::  Tanner:  Errr, I'm. I mean.. My name is.. I'm the new...

CIV_Turner says:
::The TL opens as it arrives at the bridge and Turner exits and heads to a console to install the module.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Looks at the Captain that approached him.::  CO:  Greetings, Captain.  Yes, this it the U.S.S. Artemis.  My name is Seifer Lionheart, and I was sent to greet you!  It is my pleasure, Sir!

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Looks surprised at the ensign.::  Brekalot:  Don't tell me you are the new captain.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles.::  FCO:  Thank you, Mister Lionheart.  I do hope you know the way to the bridge.  I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this class's design.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  Right, like it is hard to go to nearest TL and scream out BRIDGE!  ::Smiles.::  CO:  Of course, Sir!  If you would follow me.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles and follows the ensign to a TL.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Chuckles.::  CTO:  Err, no, I'm.. Well.. Ensign..  ::Points to his single pip.::  Brekalot..

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
CTO:  I was told to.. Err.. Come here for an assignment?

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::He enters the TL waiting for the Captain to drag along.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::When entering the TL, he addresses the computer.::  Computer:  Computer, Commander Gary Jackson, Commanding Officer USS Artemis, authorization Jackson three gamma.

Computer says:
CO:  Authorized, Artemis command codes released to Commander Gary Jackson.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Smiles faintly.::  Brekalot:  Of course you're an ensign.  ::Points to his single pip too.::  Can you please elaborate on your assignment?

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Scratches his head with his hand.::  CTO:  I think.. Oh.  Right.. There was a malfunction in one of the consoles?  I think..

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Looks pensive.::

CIV_Turner says:
::Nods at the two ensigns as he opens the console.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Standing in the TL, he waits for the ensign to give the movement order.  Once he speaks, Gary smiles::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  Right, whatever.  Computer:  Bridge!

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Looks a little confused at the ensign's response.::  Brekalot:  Hmm, you were sent to fix the console?  ::Looks the ensign over from head to toe and back again.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Turns to the CO.::  CO:  Sir, if I may ask you a question!

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Looks very nervous as he salutes the retired Captain.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns to the FCO.::  FCO:  Sure.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Turns back to the CTO.::  CTO:  Yes, I, well.. They told me that one of the consoles was not accepting the configuration commands?

CIV_Turner says:
::Returns the salute with a smaller half-hearted compulsory salute.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Walks away from his console and gestures Brekalot to follow him.::  Brekalot:  Follow me this way, please.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  You are relative young for a Captain, so I wanted to ask is this your first assignment as CO?

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Nods, and follows.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles.::  FCO:  Yes, yes, it is.  But rest assured, I possess more than enough qualities to fulfill my duties as commanding officer.  ::Exits onto the bridge and takes a long look around.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Starts fidgeting with the engineering pack he brought along.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Arrives with Brekalot at the SO's console and gestures Brekalot to look at it.::  Brekalot:  This would be the console you're talking about.  It has had it's own mind ever since we arrived to pick up our new captain.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  Well, I hope so, Sir.  I hope so!

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Smiles and nods.::  CTO:  I will.  ::Points to the console.::  Thanks for showing.  Let me just... ::Kneels down and sets the engineering bag on the floor, opening it.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Slowly walks to the command area, not saying a word.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Drags himself on his knees to under the console, and starts opening access panels.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Takes a step back as the young ensign kneels down and watches his actions closely:: Self: I wonder why, but I have a bad feeling about this.....

CIV_Turner says:
::Stands up from the console with a look of satisfaction now that the module is installed::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::after he realizes that nobody didn't noticed Captain he clears his throat and loudly says:: ALL: CAPTAIN ON DECK!

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Looks up at Seifer and the new captain and quickly snaps into a perfect attention::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  Startled with the captain on deck speech, Brekalot jumps, bumping his head on the secondary console there.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  Sparks fly on the console, and after a few seconds, all the consoles start flickering.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Startled in his routine of watching the business on the bridge, he looks around.  Seeing most of the crew at attention, he quickly a mutters.::  All:  As you were.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Manages to slide in from under the console, and stand up straight.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Not noticing the trickle of blood that's running down his head.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Suddenly realizes all the consoles are flickering, and looks at the CTO with a questioning look.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Sees Brekalot bumping his head and reaches out to him.::  Brekalot:  Are you okay?  That was a mighty bump there.

CIV_Turner says:
::Gives the captain a compulsory salute.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks around to see who could have been in charge.::  CTO:  Status report, ensign.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
CTO:  Auu.. That .. Well.. hurt.. ::Reaches towards his own head bump, scratching slightly.  Then when he returns his hand to his side, he notices something red on his hands.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Shakes his head.::  Self:  Great, another day, another problem.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Hears the captain asking for the status report and looks away from the ensign, trying to stand perfectly straight again.::  CO:  Sir, most of our systems were functional  ::pauses::  until Ensign Brekalot bumped his head, Sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles.::  CTO:  All right, get some more engineers up here to clean this up.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
All:  Is this.. Am I...  ::Brings his hand to his head and back again, with more blood on it.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
::Rolls his eyes, and collapses to the floor.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Sees Brekalot fall.::  CTO:  And a doctor.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Quickly steps aside as Brekalot falls before him.  He looks back at the captain and back to Brekalot again and releases a big sigh.::  CO:  Yes, Sir, right away.  ::Calls for some more capable engineers and signals sickbay of the situation.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  Why am I still standing in front of TL?  ::Heads to his console.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Takes a seat in the center chair.::  FCO: Plot a course to Delana IV.  CTO:  Contact Starbase Operations.  Request permission for departure.  ::Turns to Turner.::  CIV:  Coordinate with engineering about start-up procedures.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Approaches his console and sits down.::  CO:  Aye, Sir!

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Enters course to Delana IV and then opens a comm to Starbase Operations.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  The conn console is flickering.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  On the conn, a voice replies "Orion's merry slaves here, how may I help you?"

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  What the pudding is this?

CIV_Turner says:
CO:  Gotcha!

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  A medic arrives to take care of the ensign, as do several engineers who start fiddling with the broken console, and looking at the rest of them.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Sir, are you interested maybe in some Orion's merry slaves?

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  The voice on the other line continues "Hello?  Are you there?"

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Walks back to his own console to contact Starbase Operations and request a permission for departure.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  FCO:  What?  I most certainly am not.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Well, okay!

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  The CTO manages to reach the Counselor's office on the Starbase.  Looks like something's wrong with the commands the consoles are sending.

CIV_Turner says:
CO:  We're a go for start up.  Engineering reports all ships functions a okay except for a few bridge consoles with minor malfunctions.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  On the Conn, and since he didn't close the channel, the voice continues "Look honey, if you called us, you're more desperate than I am.  Call back if you really want anything" the channel is cut.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Looks surprised as he reaches the Counselor.::  CO:  Captain, I think we have a problem with our conn systems.  I just got off the conn with the Counselor of the Starbase.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Falls of his chair laughing.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Sighs.::  CTO:  Very well, inform engineering, if they don't know already.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Stands up fixing his uniform and sits down at his console once again.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CIV:  Seeing as we are having some problems, tell them we're postponing.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
FCO:  Is everything all right, ensign?

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  The consoles stop flickering, and the engineers turn to the only remaining malfunctioning console.

EO says:
CTO:  Sir, the console should be working correctly now.::  There was a slight deviation in the command pathways, but we've corrected the problem.

CIV_Turner says:
CO:  You got it.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Sir, yes, it is.  Everything is perfectly fine!

CIV_Turner says:
::Notifies engineering of the delay.::

CIV_Turner says:
CO:  Engineering notified and standing by.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns to the EO.::  EO:  Run some tests on the consoles, before you pack up and leave.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
EO:  Thank you, let's give it another try, shall we?  ::Tries to contact Starbase Operations and requests permission for departure once more.::

EO says:
::Nods.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  A level 6 diagnostic is already running on all the remaining consoles.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION : CTO manages to get SB Ops on the line

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
<SB OPS> CTO : Starbase Operations here..

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Releases a little sigh in relief:: SB OPS: USS Artemis here, requesting permission for departure.

SB OPS says:
::Checks his board, tapping on his console which can be heard through the comm.::  CTO:  All right, you've been cleared.  Authorization checked out.  Permission Granted.  Please take the south exit corridor for your departure.  SB OPS out.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Hears the CTO succeeded in getting Starbase Ops this time, he smiles.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Turns to the captain and puts on a great flashy white smile.::  CO:  Captain, we are cleared to go.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  Very well.  CIV:  Signal engineering to go ahead with start up procedures.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
FCO:  Did you get that departure information?

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!  We're ready to go!

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  FCO:  As soon as the impulse engines are powered up, take us out... thrusters only for now.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  No warp...bummer!

CIV_Turner says:
CO:  You got it.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at the viewscreen as the FCO takes her out.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Gets a beeping signal that impulse engines are powered up and he smoothly and steadily engages thrusters.::

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  A warning beep comes on the FCO console.  And the ship isn't moving.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Console:  Calm now my little ship, calm.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  Computer blares up.. "Warning.. SIF integrity lowering in deck 5 section alpha

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  What now!?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Hears the alert.::  FCO:  What did you do?  All stop!

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Stopped!  ::Stops the ship.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks at the FCO.::  FCO:  What's on deck five, section alpha?

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
CO:  Connection umbilicals!  ::Types several buttons and releases them.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  FCO:  Next time, release them before pulling out.  Take her out now... nice and easy.

Host Ens_Brekalot says:
ACTION:  The Umbilicals detach and slowly retrieve into the Starbase hull.

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
Self:  Next time I'll go blow them up with some replicated C4.  ::Smiles.::  CO:  Aye, Sir!  ::Engages thrusters.::
