Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Crew of the Pendragon has reported to the New Pendragon, an Intrepid-class marvel.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather walks down a corridor toward a Turbo Lift, her eyes wandering back and forth at the beauty of the ship's interior::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::is happier than a wet chicken::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::walking along the corridor heading for her quarters::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::in main engineering thinking. At this point in time, everything works on this ship. Smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looking over his new quarters with a critical eye::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::A surge of excitement rushes through her body as she enters the Turbo Lift. She cannot believe that she has the opportunity to serve on a brand new ship!::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders how difficult it would be to move around the interior walls::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Computer: Deck One, Bridge. ::She feels the Turbo Lift move. Her eyes are sparkling with joy::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in his new ready room, putting the last of his tchotchkes on a shelf ::  CPU: Computer, open new entry: Captain's Log.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
<CPU> CO: Recording.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sighs and leaves his quarters::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Once the Turbo Lift stops and the doors open, Heather steps onto the Bridge. She notices there are several officers there performing various functions. She cannot help but smile as she begins to walk through it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Captain's Log, stardate 10705.19: The crew is aboard, and we are all getting acquainted with our new ship. It is a marvel of Federation engineering, with capabilities we could only dream about on the original Pendragon. I must say, though, that I am going to miss the Crystal Cave.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather makes her way over to the Operations Console where a Station Engineer is standing. She waits for him to leave the station, but he does not even give her a sense of recognition::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL: Bridge

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::loves her quarters and so does her two birds::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::deposits her meager belongings in her quarters and exits, heading for the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She takes a look at his collar, noting to herself that he is only an enlisted officer. Heather takes in a deep breath before she speaks:: Engineer: Crewman, I'll take over from here. You're... dismissed.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::taps his commbadge::  *CEO*:  Commander Damien.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
<Engineer> ::He looks up at the woman and then moves away::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Damien here

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  How's she looking down there, Chief?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: I have been discharged by Starfleet Medical, who gave me a clean bill of health, both physically and mentally. I have experienced no recurrences of the visions of Jr'dan that I saw earlier. I am only somewhat relieved; I cannot shake the feeling that I have not seen the last of that hateful creature. If she reappears again, I will have no choice but to relieve myself of command and report to Sickbay for further tests.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: In a word? Stunning.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: End entry.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She cannot help but smile to herself as she takes the operations station. Heather begins to run her hands along the controls, looking over the ship's status reports::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
<CPU>: :: beeps acknowledgement ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Excellent news.  Luchena out. ::exits the TL onto the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: leaves his RR for the bridge ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the CO emerge from the ready room::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She notices the Commander and Captain enter:: All: Captain on the Bridge! ::She goes to attention::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::steps off the turbolift and out onto the bridge and takes her station quickly::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks over at OPS and chuckles::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::exits the TL and enters the new bridge ... looks around::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: smiles ::  OPS: Thank you, Ensign. That won't be necessary... I am not a hard-line Captain when it comes to respecting the formalities. But I appreciate your diligence.

TO_Tribble says:
::enters the bridge on Intrepid class USS Pendragon, NCC 74125 and is in awe::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Welcome Ensign.  What do you think?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Good morning, Mikal.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods in return::  CO:  Captain.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She nods her head quickly as her cheeks turn a shade of pink:: CO: Aye, sir. ::She turns her attention back to her console::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::leaves main engineering for the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Status of our systems diagnostics?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::moves down to the command area::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns :: Jordan: Jordan! Good morning.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Commander Damien reports she is "stunning" Captain.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Morning.  Nice ship, Albaron.  ::grins::

TO_Tribble says:
::takes the tactical station and begins examining it::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::is already accustomed to the Intrepid class ship and her functions::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: laughs ::  XO: That she is. But ask our erstwhile Chief Engineer if I might have a more verbose report by, say, 1100 hours, would you?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She watches as status reports continue to come in:: CO/XO: Sirs, status reports are coming in from around the ship. Thus far, everything seems to be functioning at peak efficiency.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::does her systems diagnostics and her navigational diagnostics::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Report to the bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I'm already on my way

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Weapons are in order, Sir.  ::broad smile::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Thank you Ensign.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: Isn't she, though? Approaching her in the work pod, I was struck by how fast she looks just sitting still.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: nods acknowledgement to the TO ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A Comm is coming in, attention Cmdr Luchena.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  The way this crew operates I wonder how long she'll stay this pristine?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: Commander, you wanted me?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO/XO: There seem to be a few power fluctuations that will be repaired in a few moments. Station Engineers are working on ensuring that we're fully functional and operational. ::She wonders if they are even listening, but she keeps speaking anyway:: CO/XO: Sickbay reports all clear. ::She pauses:: CO/XO: And I have a comm coming in for the Commander

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: Lt., What do you think of her?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: We'll see if we can't keep the scuff marks off her for a while, anyway.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO: The Captain would like an update on our status.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<Ebony>: Walks into the newly christened Lunch Box club and rubs her hands with glee::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns ::  CEO: Good morning, Jose.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: This is the cream of the cream.  Intrepid class is my first love in Starships.

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: I am glad.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes her rounds around Sickbay, ensuring that everything is ready::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: We're ready to be underway captain. All systems are green

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: All you got to do is ask and I will have her dancing on her nose.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Excellent work, Jose! You outdo yourself yet again.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: She is not the first Intrepid I have flown.  I have flown a few.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She turns another shade of pink:: XO: I am sorry to interrupt, Commander, however, there is a comm coming in for you from Station Operations.

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: Oh?  Which ones?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits in his chair::  OPS:  Put it through to me here.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Do we have a full crew complement aboard, Ensign?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the very noticeably nervous OPS officer::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Awe shucks. It was nothing. Literally. The station hands had her prepped

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::She re-route the comm to Luchena's console:: XO: Re-routed, Commander. ::She turns her gaze toward her console:: CO: Checking now, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::activates his comm panel::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Prepped to their standards, Jose... but I know that yours are much higher.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She feels several droplets of sweat form on her forehead as she looks over the information:: CO: All officers have reported in. However, we don't have our full crew complement aboard at this time.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Helm ready.  All system diagnostics come back in the green.

Host Coot says:
<Space Port> COMM: XO: Cmdr, we have a delivery for you. Will you authorize your claim to it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: She's received a clean bill of health by me also

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM: SP:  What is it?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She moves her hands quickly along the console, checking to see how many crewmembers are missing::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Thank you.   OPS: Do we have at least one full shift?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: Most of Beta and Gamma Shift personnel haven't reported in, sir. From my notes here, it is due to not being needed on duty right now. All of Alpha Shift is present and counted for.

Host Coot says:
<Space Port> COMM: XO: It's from ::stutters::  ...Captain Rofax... it's a piano.

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: It will be interesting working with bioneural gel packs and being able to land on the surface.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: Yes it will.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::  COMM:SP:  Sure... ummm...... coordinate with our Operations Officer for location of transport.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Faster response time between helm and engineering.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather taps several buttons on her console, ordering some of her staff to move to different locations to assist the Station Engineers::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Could you see to a delivery?  Take this comm?

TO_Tribble says:
::looks at XO:: I am looking forward to hearing some good music.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::hears an echo:: FCO: Considerably

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Grant looks up briefly from her console:: XO: Aye, sir. ::She re-routes the comm back to her station::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks towards Tribble.  Is shocked::  TO:  How can it be from Rofax?  He's been dead for many months.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: overhears the XO's comm, raises an eyebrow ::  XO: The past taps us on the shoulder once again...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns towards the CO::  CO:  That's impossible.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Apparently not.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Reports are filtering in from throughout the ship. Systems are reporting 102% efficiency across the board.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She feels a little out of the loop, not having been with this crew before. That did not matter though, she was just here to do her duty:: COM: Station OPS: What item should we be expecting?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I agree.  How could Rofax send you a piano?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Permission to.... go and see it, Captain.  ::is still shocked::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Perhaps he put it in his Will - a present for you?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shakes his head at Jordan::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits :: XO: Granted. Let me know once it is stowed safely.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Perhaps.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Want me to come with you?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She turns her gaze toward a new report that just came in:: CO: Sir, recent reports show that all systems are functioning at 102% efficiency.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::comes out of his reverie::  Jordan:  Yes, that would be nice.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Do you want a security guard to accompany you, in case it is hiding any unwanted and invisible passengers?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::checks the manifest to see where the piano was transported to::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and moves to follow the XO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The piano was transported to the Lunch Box on Deck 3.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  TO:  Like what?  Termites?  No thank you.  ::gets up and heads to the turbo lift::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Pass my compliments on to the crew, please, Ensign.   FCO: Lieutenant, while we wait for the delivery, plot a course to the Oort cloud and back... we need to put this ship through her paces.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Like ghosts

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: It would be my pleasure sir.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She looks a bit taken back by the request:: CO: Aye, sir! ::She sends a note of thanks from the Captain::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::plots a course to the Oort cloud and back::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: I hope he asks for some high-speed turns. Please.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the lift::  TL:  Deck 3

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::steps in with Mikal:: XO:  I don't like this ...

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She taps the comm panel on her console:: *XO*: Ensign Grant to Commander Luchena.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: How are your IDF fields ?

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Do you want me to test forward and aft photon torpedoes, Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Why not?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Because this feels wrong, Mikal ... it feels like a trap.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::hits the comm badge to annoy her:: FCO: I'm right here. The Inertial dampening fields are fine

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: I hope so Damien cause if I get to do a high-speed turn you’re going to need them.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps out of the TL on deck 3::  Jordan:  I think the transporters would have filtered out anything dangerous.  Don't you?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Her voice is shaking slightly, but she tries to contain it:: *XO*: I'm sorry for interrupting you, sir, but I wanted to let you know your piano has been transported to the ship's lounge on Deck 3. Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  Thank you Ensign.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I will check the piano first to make sure there's nothing hidden ... if it's clean then I'll let you in

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: We'll save that for deep space. The Sol Conservancy will not take kindly to our shooting up any of the carefully plotted objects in the Cloud.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Numerous crewmembers buzz through the halls with excitement and accelerated speech.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She looks toward the conn officer for a moment before turning her attention back to her station:: *XO*: Just doing my job, sir. Operations out. ::She taps the comm panel to close the comm::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Don't be ridiculous.  I think this is the place.  ::reads the nameplate and frowns::

TO_Tribble says:
::grins::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  What?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The OPS panel begins beeping rapidly.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Lunch Box?  What kind of stupid name is that?  ::enters::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  I don't know ... ::laughs and enters::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She blinks several times as her console begins to blink rapidly. Heather moves her hands along it rather quickly to determine the problem::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks around the room::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hears the OPS panel beeping like mad::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks around:: Self:  Nice ...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  It looks just like a jazz club.  Are there holoemitters?  ::steps into the room and looks around::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Looks like your first problem.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<Ebony> ::busily bustling around getting things ready ... doesn't see the XO and Jordan enter::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She jumps slightly, realizing that she just hit a wrong control. Heather blushes slightly as she rectifies the problem::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::checks his console::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  If not we could get some installed ... ::grins::

Host Coot says:
SCENE: In the corner of the Lunch Box sits a perfect replica of the piano that graces Mikal's home on Betazed. A note card sits atop the piano.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the piano and approaches it::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::grabs a tricorder:: XO:  Let me scan it first.  ::moves to scan the piano::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: hears the OPS console, but says nothing... best to let Grant deal with it herself ::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: takes a few minutes to familiarize himself with the consoles built into the arms of his command chair ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::ignores Jordan and reaches around to take the card::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She receives a note from her Waste Reclamation officers. Apparently, everything was going well on their end::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::moves in closer and activates the tricorder.  Commences scanning the piano::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::reads the card::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The card reads, "The music of life is that which we make when doing what matters most. Let your heart be your guide."  It is unsigned.

TO_Tribble says:
:: the 12 security guards on duty are continuing to familiarize themselves with the ship::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather continues to monitor the power flow, status reports, and life support systems. Her eyes move all over the place as she constantly checks as many systems as possible::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::drops the card and runs his hands along the grain of the wood::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans of the piano show it is benign, albeit violently motionless.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::closes the tricorder ... everything seems in order:: XO:  Scans are clean, Commander.  It's all yours.

TO_Tribble says:
::the guards examine the dorsal phaser arrays are at the top of the saucer section.::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overcome with emotion doesn't reply to Jordan::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She looks around the Bridge for a moment and then out of the view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::with both arms on the piano, rests his forehead against the wood::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::senses something from the piano ... smiles as she recognizes it::  XO:  Are you sensing that?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Yes.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  But ... how?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands up::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::smiles as her hands move comfortably across the console::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She stares out at the image of the station for several more seconds before going back to her work::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  I don't know.  He was....   I just don't know.  ::opens the lid of the keyboard::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::notes that the operations station beep was operator error, frowns::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Play something.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: How is Ashley taking to her new quarters?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits at the bench::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She looks toward the CEO for a second, sensing a sort of odd emotion being directed toward her. Heather blushes again and tries to ignore it:: Self: Think of nice happy places.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  It's almost as if Rofax has left an imprint of some kind ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Mikal opens the keyboard, the keys "glow" with an imprint of the last tune played by Rofax. It is a Betazed-piece Mikal would recognize.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: She's fine. I left some dirty clothes on the floor so she would feel at home

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::lowers her head in sorrow::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks down at the keys::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  In more ways than one.  ::plays out the imprinted tune::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Doesn't recognize the tune:: XO:  I don't know the tune ...

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather monitors some of the comm traffic going to and from the station::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles as he comes to the end::  Jordan:  It's from Betazed.  And it is from Rofax.  He never was much of a piano player.

TO_Tribble says:
::Guards move to the ship's ventral phaser arrays, making appropriate admirable comments::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::closes the keyboard and stands::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The all clear comes through from spaceport, the Pendragon is cleared to depart.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She notes the next report come in from the station:: CO: Sir, we have just been cleared for departure.

TO_Tribble says:
::shoots a smile to Grant::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  What a nice gift ... ::turns away::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  We should get back to the bridge.  ::heads towards the exit with a passing nod at Ebony::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She smiles briefly toward the TO before turning her attention back to her console's controls::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and exits with the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into a turbo lift::  TL:  Bridge.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Very good, Lieutenant. Please recall all senior officers to the bridge. 

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::steps into the lift with Mikal.  Is quiet for the whole trip::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::She taps the comm panel on her console:: *Senior Staff*: All Senior Officers report to the Bridge.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The view screen plots a three-wire-frame layout of the Pen's course, super-imposed over a layout of the Sol System.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps onto the bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::steps out after the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the view screen::  Jordan:  Nice.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She notices the XO reach the Bridge and cannot help but think that he is rather prompt::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She turns her attention to the Pendragon's course. A smile crosses her face as she considers the prospect of being able to leave the station::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::stays near the back of the bridge ...::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::senses Jordan's presence and smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::walks to his chair::  CO:  It was indeed from Rofax, Captain, and is now safely stowed.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::looks at the course plotted and frowns::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Is that the course you want me to follow?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: I look forward to hearing many virtuoso performances, Commander.  :: stands :: FCO: It will do nicely. Let's see what she's got. Lieutenant, Warp Four: engage.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enjoys an unexpected sense of promise and freedom::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Not a problem.  Going to warp 4 now.  ::taps the controls quickly::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The view screen models several three-dimensional renderings of the plotted course and begins highlights points of interest in smaller windows and graphical displays.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She sends a message throughout the ship, informing them that the ship was preparing to depart::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns back to look at Jordan::  Jordan:  Are you up to manning the science console?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Softly: Angles and curves of grace protect us.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Sure.  ::moves over to the Sci station::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watching the view screen display::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: With the grace of silk drifting on a soft breeze, the Pendragon quickly achieves Warp 4.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::begins to familiarize herself with the station::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::watches the view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::listens to the hum of the warp engines::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Great response time between engines and helm.  Nice work Damien.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She makes sure that everything is going smoothly at the moment by watching operations like a hawk::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: I wish I could take the credit

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  She purrs like a kitten, Jose.  ::smiles::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
ALL: Very impressive. Well done, all.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Well the credit does go to you even if the gel packs are the making the relays faster.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: All systems are still reporting normal, sir. ::She says with a hint of joy in her voice::
