Summary
	Starfleet Intelligence wants to know how the Nighthawk manages to get out of close situations. With Harlan involved in the Amenti joining the Federation, Intel takes the opportunity to engage the Nighthawk in war games to see what she and her crew are made of.
	With the ship fully up to date, the Nighthawk has left the starbase and is heading for their assigned destination.  Curiously, engineering had a red light briefly  Checking it out, it is discovered that there is a slight shift in power distribution in favor of basically nonessential areas of the ship. The FCO thought he saw a change in coordinates.  But everything seems to be as it should be… or is it?

Announcements

•	Next mission are excused Tim, Lilia and Jim.
•	The current arc will be run by Sam.

Time Lapse:
3 hours: We will be approaching the testing site.

Sid sat quietly in his ready room he was reading over some of the reports he had been given over the last couple weeks on the repairs and maintenance on the Nighthawk.  His reports were long but Sid skimmed through most of the reports and got the meat of the report down.  Sid slid his chair to the other side of the room and looked at his computer, when his door chime rang.
“Come in,” called out Sid. 
In walked in a older man with Admiral ranks, and behind him was a younger man.
Sid looked up from his computer, “Admiral Miller, I didn’t expect you here today.”  Sid stood up and snapped to attention.
“Sid, please sit down, and this is Captain Sam Hung.”
“Admiral, Captain please have a seat.” 
“Thank you Sid,” started Admiral Miller, “Captain, we at Starfleet Intelligence have wondered how you keep getting out of complex situations.  So we have decided to have your ship in a simulated war game with Captain Hung and his ship.”
Sid looked at the Admiral, then to his counterpart Captain, “What kind of ship does Captain Hung have?”
“Akira Class.”
“What kind of war game would that be?  I would lose in the first volley.”
“You will think of something, Sid.  I am also going to give your ship with some new items.”  
“Like?”
“You will have 6 Kaneda Fighters in your shuttle bay by the end of the day.  At your disposal for the duration of the mission.”
“I see, and will that become a permanent fixture on the ship?”
“No after this mission you will return the Fighters Captain Hung.  Any questions?”
“No Admiral.”
“Very well, you ship out at 2200hrs.”

CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Wandering around sickbay doing stuff::
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Arrives on the bridge for the first time after her return to the ship::
SO Rose says:
:: Making her way to the bridge, she stops off in sickbay::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sitting on the bridge, looking around at the crew present::
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Steps up behind the Captain's chair:: XO: Commander Jackson
SO Rose says:
:: Pops her head inside, calling out.:: CMO:  Doc?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods at Marat, then turn back towards OPS:: OPS: Has starbase operations already sent us our planned flight path?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Peeks out from behind a medical console that he was fiddling with:: SO: Who's looking for him?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Runs through engineering with a PADD in his hand, checking... things.::
SO Rose says:
:: Looks over and shakes her head as she comes in:: CMO:  Disney.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
XO: I understand War Games are the mission of the day.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Stands up and sees Rose approaching:: SO: Ahhh, Miss Rose, how are you feeling today?
FCO Turnabout says:
XO: Sir, our current ETA is 15 minutes.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods slowly at Marat:: CIV: Yeah, that is what I was told anyway.. ::Turns to the engineering station:: EO: What is our power and propulsion status?
CIV Emsil Marat says:
XO: Do you plan to fight fair?
SO Rose says:
CMO: I am fine... though I really dislike war games.  :: Hands him a package:: This is from my mother... with her thanks for keeping me in one piece.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CIV: We always fight fair.. If we'd cheat, we'd die in the end.... ::Turns to OPS again::
CIV Emsil Marat says:
XO: There is nothing fair about war Commander.  ::turns and walks to the back of the bridge::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
::gets a rather warm feeling inside but snaps back to reality again:: SO: I couldn't accept this Rose, I was merely doing my job, although if you aren't too fond of war games I could stash you in sickbay for a while. :: Grins::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Does not answer immediately, but instead looks at the viewscreen for a moment:: CIV: Even in war there are rules.. Rules of engagement.. If we would not follow at leas those rules, wars would take a whole different turns.. Since this is for training and evaluation, we will fight as we always will.. And if that takes a certain degree of bending the rules or creative thinking.. Then that is our thing..
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Arriving at the back of the bridge as Jackson answers she turns leaning on an inactive console and smiles:: XO: Then we agree on something.
SO Rose says:
CMO: She knows that.  It is not much, just some of her good Irish cooking... as for hiding... I have to head for the bridge.  Our new CSO wasn't able to catch up before we left.  I will be needed there... maybe.
OPS says:
XO: Receiving data now sir.. Downloading to navigational computer..
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Hearing the OPS Officer she steps forward again, her boots clanging on the deck (tm) as she does::
FCO Turnabout says:
 :: Notes the navigational data update:: XO: Commander I have the coordinates now
CMO Ens Trigger says:
SO: Irish cooking? ::his face lights up:: Well why didn't you say so? :: Laughs a little:: How's your leg?
SO Rose says:
:: Looks down:: CMO:  Good as new... as is the rest of me.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods at the FCO, then turns to his console and presses a button:: *Ship Wide*: Attention all station, this is the first officer. Prepare for launch, all crew report to their duty stations.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
SO: That's what I like to hear... don't forget, I need you in for a checkup at some point in the next few weeks.
EO says:
XO: Sir, all systems show in the green.  Warp systems 100%, shield matrix has a slight misalignment I can fix momentarily and mock weaponry in the green
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: EO: Excellent... RCS thrusters operational?
EO says:
:: Rechecks for the XO:: XO: Aye sir.  Fully functional.
SO Rose says:
:: Wrinkles her nose:: CMO: Alright... just let me know when.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Smiles:: SO: or you could let me know when you have a little time free.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods and turns to OPS again:: OPS: Verify all hatches secure and physical connections to the starbase have been disconnected.
SO Rose says:
CMO: Free time... what is that?
OPS says:
:: Nods:: XO: Commander umbilicals have just detached and we have received word from Starbase we can depart as soon as we are ready.

ACTION: Across the board in engineering, the boards read green.  However, one briefly blinks to red then back to green.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: OPS: Perfect... ::Turns to the helm station:: FCO: Helm, thrusters on station keeping.. Plot departure route...
CMO Ens Trigger says:
SO: Good point, I'll contact you if time starts to run out, may be able to get you out of doing something boring. :: Smiles::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Notices a light slightly turn left and shakes his head for a moment, not sure he actually saw that.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks around the bridge for a moment, then looks down at his console, taking note of their departure time::
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Places the RCS thrusters at station keeping and plots a course:: XO: Coordinates set.
SO Rose says:
CMO: As long as it is not patching me back up... ::smiles::  I will see you later then.  :: Nods to the package:: Enjoy.
EO says:
:: Notices the brief red light:: XO: Commander, um....  ::notes it go back to green again::  Sorry sir, false alarm
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Smiles warmly:: SO: Oh I intend to.
FCO Turnabout says:
 XO: All systems show we're ready.  Shall I begin our departure from the Starbase?
EO says:
:: Thinks to himself... it's ok... it was really orange not red::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks back to the viewscreen:: FCO: Back us out slowly, then come about and commence departure route..
SO Rose says:
:: Turns and leaves sickbay, heading for the nearest lift.::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*XO*: Comrade Commander, Gustav not sure, but... there was green light that briefly was red, then green again.
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Nods:: XO: Aye sir.  ::fires up the forward RCS thrusters at 11%::

Action: As an ensign passes the flight console, the FCO has a sudden need to sneeze.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Frowns slightly:: *EO*: Which system was that then? ::Looks around at the engineering station behind him::
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Makes some minor course adjustments as they approach the Starbase Doors and sneezes just as he does so hitting the wrong adjustment::

ACTION: In a blink of an eye, across the flight console, coordinates flash.

FCO Turnabout says:
:: Quickly recovers just a mere meter from brushing the Starbase wall:: XO: Commander we're clear but it seemed just for a moment I could have sworn the coordinates changed.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*XO*: Errr... that would be power distribution comrade commander.
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Brings the ship around and begins leaving the area on their departure course:: XO: We're ready for warp drive in fifty-seven seconds
SO Rose says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps out onto the bridge, noting they were heading out of the docking doors now.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks up at the ceiling for a moment:: FCO: Verify with the flight plan we received..
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Stands at the back of the bridge yawning::
FCO Turnabout says:
XO: Aye.  :: Compares data with the data OPS received:: XO: Must be my mistake sir.  Data has been confirmed.
SO Rose says:
:: Seeing Marat yawning, passes a bit further around her to her station.::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Wandering around sickbay again::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*EO*: And is that a critical system for flight?
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Notes the SO give her a wide berth::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods at the FCO, as he looks back at the viewscreen:: Self: I hope that is the last of glitches we will have for a while to come..
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Munches on a cookie from the box::
SO Rose says:
:: Logs onto her station, realizing again that Commander Gomes is now gone for good.  Sighs.::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Scratches his head:: *XO*: Could be comrade commander. Gustav can't say yet. If problem stays or occurs again, it might affect flight too.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Notices Rose enter the bridge and looks sideways at her for a moment, before turning back to the helm:: *EO*: Great.. I take it you have some diagnostics running as we speak?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Stashes the little bottle in the safe box in his office and taps his Com badge:: *EO*: Trigger to Nescheriakova.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Starts walking towards one of the consoles.:: *XO*: O... of course comrade commander. :: Begins setting up a diagnostics run for the power distribution systems.:: Gustav has that running already.
SO Rose says:
:: Notes everything is in order and turns toward the viewscreen.:: XO: How long before we arrive?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*CMO*: You rang comrade doctor?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Notices the hesitation and takes a mental note to inform the captain of the possible problem in engineering::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*EO*: Aren't you due for a check up?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Turns to the SO, then to the helm station:: FCO: ETA to destination, assuming we would engage warp 5 when clear of the marker?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Starts to sweat:: *CMO*: Comrade doctor? You are breaking up. Could you repeat that please?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*EO*: I said... you're due for a check up.
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Confirms ETA for the Commander::  XO: Engaging warp five.... time to destination would be 20.341 minutes sir.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Goes back to leaning on that powered down console a purposely leans rather close to the SO continuing to yawn with excitement::
MO Mitropopapulos says:
 :: Pokes his head round the door to the CMO's office:: CMO: Sir, we're all set out here.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods, and turns to Rose again:: SO: We'll be there in about twenty minutes.. :: Sighs:: Which should be plenty of time to relax a bit, and prepare for our war games.. :: Looks around the bridge again for a moment:: CIV: I wonder whether they would mind us using the chameleon too...
SO Rose says:
:: Suddenly feeling her 'space' invaded, she turns to see the Cardassean, again yawning and rather closely to her.  She leans slightly away from her, looking at her oddly.::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
MO: Thanks Dimitri, I'll be out shortly.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Raises an eyebrow thinking of a Sekloth Ship::  XO: Chameleon Commander?
CMO Mitropopapulos says:
  Nods and backs out of the door again::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sighs:: CIV: One of our more preferment shuttlecraft..
SO Rose says:
:: Nods, keeping an awkward distance from Marat:: XO: Anything you need from science?
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Feeling something amiss:: XO: More proficient in what way Commander?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Smiles:: SO: Sensor status, and optimum scanning range for current configuration?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CIV: Faster, stronger and easier to maneuver... ::Doesn't think it wise to give too many details yet::
SO Rose says:
:: Shakes her head with a smile:: XO: Your easy to please in that.  Everything is in order.  Commander Gomes made sure of that.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Checking his diagnostics screen continuously.:: *CMO*: Comrade doctor, you have to check with Gustav again later. Gustav is now working on diagnostics trying to find failure.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
XO: Really?  :: Stepping forward no longer finding an interest in making the SO uncomfortable::  XO: I'd like to know more about this ship if I may?  Especially if we are to use it in the War Games it may be beneficial for our success.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head:: CIV: I am afraid I cannot tell you that.. The exact specifications and abilities of this vessel are classified...
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*EO*: Or I could send Dimitri down to give you a quick scan while you're working.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Thinks to herself "Really?  But it has been confirmed onboard the Nighthawk somewhere"::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
SO: I really did want to know the range at which we had best results when scanning.. ::Gets up from his chair and walks over to the science station and puts his hands on the chair's back::
SO Rose says:
:: Looks over at Marat a bit suspiciously on this topic, glad she is no longer yawning near her.::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*CMO*: Please not comrade doctor. Gustav really busy and will let you know when Gustav be ready. :: Checks the results of the diagnostics check.::
SO Rose says:
XO: It should be standard... I do not think the station altered anything... at least they did not say they had... :: her fingers dance along the console as she pulls up the information.::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*EO*: If I remember, you weren't complaining last time when I was removing a tribble from your arm.

ACTION: Across the science stations screen reads the following:  At sublight speeds long-range sensors in medium-to-low resolution are able to detect activity up to 17 light-years away with up to 45 degrees of detectable arc from the front of the ship. Low-resolution scans can detect contacts up to 5 light-years way with a very high level of accuracy.  Long -range sensors can be used at warp speeds, although they are increasingly restricted in angle of detection at warp speed, leading to “tunnel vision” at high warp.  Long-range sensors pulses propagate at warp 9.9997, slightly slower then subspace radio.  Depending on the Warp factor depends on how long it takes for a long-range scan to contact and rerun.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: SO: Good... I hate it when people change setups without informing others about it, especially the ones that would want to know... ::Smiles and moves back to his chair again, turning it slightly to the SO's side of the bridge::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*CMO*: Than comrade doctor can consider that my check up for th... ::begins reading the messages on his screen.::
SO Rose says:
:: Nods:: XO: Nothing new here.
CIV Emsil Marat says:
XO: So have we had enough fun today studying the details of one's own ship or do we plan to kick some Federation butt anytime soon?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Smiles at Rose for a moment:: CIV: As soon as we arrived.... ::Looks at the viewscreen again::
CIV Emsil Marat says:
:: Feeling quite bored and decides whether or not to go looking for this. "Chameleon"::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Packs a medkit:: MO: Dimitri, you have sickbay, I'm going up to the bridge.
MO Mitropopapulos says:
CMO: Ok sir. I see you later then. :: Smiles::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Taps a few buttons and then looks back at the FCO. They should be there any time now::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Makes note on his PADD that power in several parts of the ship are more than needed for them and hopes someone will be around to check that out in the next shift.::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Wanders out of sickbay in search of the nearest turbolift::
FCO Turnabout says:
:: Nods:: XO: Aye Commander, coming up on the coordinates momentarily.

Scenery: The Nighthawk flights through the darkness of space to its destination... a stray beam of light glancing off of it as it passes by a beacon.
