U.S.S. Artemis – Stardate 9904.02

Host Cheryl says:
New mission:  SF has authorized tests of a prototype warp shuttle based on research previously done by Ross and Vraylle of Artemis.  Artemis has been selected to conduct the testing in a remote sector of Alpha Quadrant

Host Cheryl says:
SF's version of the prototype shuttle, accompanied by its chief designer, Cmdr Harmon, is enroute to Artemis via the USS Titania, about ten minutes from rendezvous point.

Host Cheryl says:
All newly arrived crewmembers are assumed to be aboard Artemis, or transporting to it with Titania, your choice

CTO: Aye sir, how far should we scan out?

CMDHarmon says:
::realizes this man does not have a burr up his butt ..... he has an entire turbolift shaft.  Such a shame, too.  So young and so stressed::

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Sir, I believe we need to make a comparison study of our specs to that of Commander Harmon’s.........

CSO_McMer says:
TO: The area is well charted, we shouldn't have any problem, unless they missed something or we have a cloaked company

CTOFenrir says:
TO: the entire test flight zone

FCO_Vrayl says:
::raises an eyebrow and shifts in his seat::

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Then we can make adjustments or we can replicate parts as we need them.

TO_Wilks says:
CTO: very well, sir

CMO_Senn says:
::exits the TL and walks through the corridor... such a small ship::

CMDHarmon says:
All: Well, I'll tell you right now, you best ........ ::looks at Bryant and stops:: ..... never mind.

CTOFenrir says:
::orders the FO to take the ship out of warp::  *XO* We are entering the test flight coordinates sir

Host XOBryant says:
FCO: Mr Vraylle?

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: We may need to replicate the entire shuttle hull in the process.

CMO_Senn says:
::arrives to sickbay, takes a deep breath and walks in::

Host XOBryant says:
FCO: What?

TO_Wilks says:
:: begins long range tactical scans::

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Once Lt. Vyralle and myself are confident in the design we can proceed with the test.  With Commander Harmon’s approval

Host XOBryant says:
:::looks at Harmon:::::

CMDHarmon says:
::coughs but does not say a word.  These boys have no idea what they are doing::

MO_Peon says:
::sees the new CMO walk in...Goes to greet her:::

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: Before the Commander ... encouraged me ... to stop scanning the shuttle, I found numerous microfractures in the hull.

CSO_McMer says:
CTO: Science is ready to monitor the test, we just need the flight path.

EngAponte says:
::returns to the cockpit and runs what passes for a diagnostic on this shuttle::

MO_Peon says:
CMO:Hello!

Host XOBryant says:
FCO: so you are saying that the shuttle us unfit to fly?

CEO_Ross says:
XO: Sir, Micro fractures are inconsistent with this type of test flight!

CMO_Senn says:
::watches the Lt walking towards her and she nods at him:: MO: I suppose you are Lt Peon, am I right? ::she smiles::

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: With the extra system energy required for the new warp drive, there will be insufficient power remaining to adequately maintain the structural integrity field

CTOFenrir says:
CSO: Excellent, you'll just have to speak to Commander Harmon about the flight path then

CMDHarmon says:
::puts his hat in his lap and sits back resigned to let these morons plan the future shuttle for the Federation without a single design certification among them::

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: The fractures seem to be from excessive sublight stresses, likely caused by...creative piloting.

MO_Peon says:
CMO: Yes, Sir

Host XOBryant says:
Harmon:  do you have something to add Commander?

CMDHarmon says:
XO: No, Commander ..... not a thing here.

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: To summarize...no, sir. The shuttle is not currently capable of warp flight.

TO_Wilks says:
CTO: everything looks good at tactical too, when i get the flight path I’ll do cylindrical scans of 5 light years

CMDHarmon says:
::stops:: XO, FCO: Only that ...... they do call it an experimental shuttle for a reason.  It's my job to test its limits.  That's what I do.

CMO_Senn says:
MO: I'm Cmdr Senn, nice to meet you. ::looks around sickbay again:: I would like you to show me around the facilities... and then maybe we can sit and share a cup of tea?

Host XOBryant says:
Harmon: so you bring me a broke ship, a drunk pilot and an attitude that someone probably even considers charming if they have been dating klingons and you dont' have anything to say?

CMDHarmon says:
::looks at Bryant:: XO: As soon as you done insulting me, I'll be happy to speak up.

MO_Peon says:
CMO:Ok, Follow me then.

CMO_Senn says:
MO: All right ::follows Peon... hopes they will make a good team::

CTOFenrir says:
OPS: Is there a flight path somewhere in the shuttles computer you can access through the interface?

Host XOBryant says:
::::Stands :::: Harmon, you are going to walk out of here report to the CTO and tell him that you are confined to quarters, you will stay there till I deem that you are no longer a threat to our mission, am I understood?

FCO_Vrayl says:
::looks at Harmon:: XO: The only time I have seen work of this...caliber...was the result of some Cadets at the Alpha Centauri research station.

EngAponte says:
::steps out of the shuttle and walks around, banging on the hull and listening to the sound reverberate through the bay::  self: solid as ever...

Host XOBryant says:
FCO: Mr. Vraylle, that’s enough.

FCO_Vrayl says:
::raises an eyebrow at Bryant's emotional outburst::

CEO_Ross says:
*CTO*: Mr. Fenrir, report to the briefing room!

MO_Peon says:
::Shows here around sickbay, shows her the equipment storage areas and other stuff::

CMDHarmon says:
::leans forward:: XO: You can play this anyway you like.  ::puts his hat on:: XO: But if you ask me, I recommend you cancel the test right now.  Give Starfleet a chance to find a reasonable commander who is willing to give this test a real chance.  Not some bureaucrat who thinks he is a pilot.  ::turns:: All: Now if you will excuse me ..... I

CTOFenrir says:
CSO: you have the bridge ::Enters the briefing room::

TO_Wilks says:
CSO: Chief, do we have the flight path yet?

MO_Peon says:
CMO: What do you make of the ship?

Host XOBryant says:
Harmon: HOLD ON

CSO_McMer says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.

CMDHarmon says:
All: I am confined to quarters ........ ::leaves the RR and heads over to the Tactical Panel:: CTO: You seen the Chief Tactical Officer around?

CMO_Senn says:
MO: I can see you have kept sickbay in top condition ::approving tone of voice:: And... I haven't seen much of the ship yet. Actually, I still haven't even seen my quarters.

CSO_McMer says:
TO: Continue security scans of the area.

Host XOBryant says:
::::tries to control himself::::

CSO_McMer says:
SO: SO to bridge.

TO_Wilks says:
CSO: sir, i would like to scan the flight path as well, do we have it?

CMDHarmon says:
::looks around the bridge:: All: Is there a tactical officer up here?

CSO_McMer says:
TO: Still waiting on that.  I don't know if the test pilot is even finished checking in with the XO.

TO_Wilks says:
CMD: over here sir!

CMDHarmon says:
::remembers the Doctor in sickbay ..... sure she has the authority to confine him::

Host XOBryant says:
:::turns to the FCO:::: FCO: So, is your shuttle ready to be tested?

CTOFenrir says:
::standing in the RR:: CEO: you called sir?

MO_Peon says:
CMO: Would you like a little tour of the ship?

TO_Wilks says:
CSO: okay, continuing scans

CEO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Fenrir, Commander Harmon has been confined to quarters, assign him one and lock 'em up!

EngAponte says:
::wipes a speck of dust off of the shuttle's hull and sits back on a nacelle to take a brief rest::

CMDHarmon says:
::spots Wilks:: TO: Okay, boy ....... I need you to assign me some quarters so you can confine me in them.  Okay?

CMO_Senn says:
MO: I would certainly appreciate it, Mr Peon.

FCO_Vrayl says:
XO: We completed the final tests less than an hour ago...and sir? I believe I know Commander Harmon.

CTOFenrir says:
::Walks up to Mr. Harmon:: CMD: I will be escorting you to your quarters

TO_Wilks says:
CMD: you can take the visiting admiral quarters.

CSO_McMer says:
CMD: Sir, once you have a chance, we need the coordinates of your flight path for the test scans.

MO_Peon says:
::Goes to the computer, finds the CMO's quarters::

CMDHarmon says:
::nods at Fenrir:: CTO: Lead on, my friend ........

MO_Peon says:
CMO: Lets go then.

Host XOBryant says:
FCO, CEO:  Ok I want reports and a test schedule for your shuttle in 30 minutes, dismissed
