Host Martijn says:
Last Time on the U.S.S. Tal-War…
Host Martijn says:
The crew encountered a smuggler on their ship, if it had not been for the watchful eye of a Medical Officer she would have gotten away with a variety of medical supplies.
Host Martijn says:
With the investigation still ongoing, the Tal-War has been ordered on a shakedown cruise to test its newly installed systems in the field. We join them as they prepare for prelaunch procedures.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Watches and prepares to activate SRS and LRS on mark::
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the Tal-War slowly moves through the opened doors of the immense docking bay, the external lighting of the ship is automatically activated and shows the grace of her new refits.
OPS_Smith says:
::wishes they'd installed a cup holder on this thing::
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Activates the sensors for the first time:: ALL: Both SRS and LRS are active and functioning normally.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Mr. Semaj...  Have we received our course heading orders from DS21 yet?
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: Aye sir.  They are in the FCO's computer right now.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the FCO::  FCO: Okie Commander... Distance to Marker 1....
XO_Jameson says:
::Pays attention to the information being spoken around her::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: 5 minutes at warp 7
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::nods::  FCO: Set course at warp 1.  As soon as we get readings from OPS and Engineering, we'll increase speed.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::plots course and engages at warp 1::
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: As the Tal-War reaches the outer markers of Deep Space 21, it engages the warp engines and jumps to warp 1.
OPS_Smith says:
::monitors power allocation::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::sits in the centre seat and hits the com button::  *CEO* How are we looking down there Mr. Gail?
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::runs a whole series of diagnostics on the warp "bubble" around the ship::
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO:* So far so good captain, I'm reading some slight miss-calculations, nothing I can't correct.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CEO* Fair enough...   We'll be increasing speed.
TO-Braathen says:
::wonders if he'll get a chance testing the weaponry.::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Begin a steady increase in speed across 30 seconds until we reach warp 7.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: What is our output?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Understood, increasing speed.
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The Tal-War gradually increase warp speed, but warp factor seems to be stuck at warp 3...
TO-Braathen says:
::checks targeting sensors::
OPS_Smith says:
::checks::
OPS_Smith says:
CO:  Nominal output consistent with warp 3 Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow, and walks over to the Helm::  OPS/FCO: Warp 3?
OPS_Smith says:
CO:  Aye.
FCO_Shania says:
::checks:: CO: Yep, we are stuck at warp 3
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Reduce the power to the inertial dampeners, ramp up output to field, and attempt speed increase.
TO-Braathen says:
::looks up and grins:: self: I like it when things go wrong and it ain't my fault.
FCO_Shania says:
::acts as if she understood a single word of that::
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::checks the console:: *CO:* Gail to the Captain, sir, I have detected security systems restricting us to warp 3 velocity.
OPS_Smith says:
Self:  Security systems?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge:: *CEO* Initiated by who?
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The FCO's actions have alas zero effect... Tal-War still cruising at warp 3...
OPS_Smith says:
::wonders if SFC has heard about Commander Shania's propensity for outlandish flying::
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO:* I'm attempting to pinpoint the origin, stand by ::works on his console::
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Gets a report from each of the science bays on the ship and all are reporting green light::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the TO::  TO: Open the Security access logs....   Any one initiate anything at space dock we didn't know about?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Distance to Marker 1 at current speed.....
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO:* Captain, it seems to be the primary warp control security system that is malfunctioning, it's purpose is to prevent warp core overheating.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: 1,5 hour....enough time for a coffee
XO_Jameson says:
::Has already started to look through the engineering logs from space dock::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CEO* Figures...   Disable the thing will ya....
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO:* Aye captain, I will deactivate the security algorithms and transfer the whole thing to manual.
TO-Braathen says:
::checks security logs for gaps and/or breaches:: CO: All is well.......Unbelievable as it may seem, sir
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CEO* Signal helm when complete...
XO_Jameson says:
::Nods in agreement with the TO::
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::put the warp core overload security protocols offline and switches to manual control:: *FCO:* Engineering to Helm, try increasing the ships warp velocity now.
Host Martijn says:
<Computer> CEO: Access to security systems denied, command authorisation required....
FCO_Shania says:
*CEO* Understood, increasing speed now.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::hears the computer response over the com::  *CEO* I'm on my way down....   
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Jameson... You have the conn
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO:* Wo ho, ::pauses:: Captain, I don't have access to the security systems.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::exits the bridge::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: Yes Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::enters main engineering and walks over to the console where the CEO is::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::reads the display and looks at the security measure's protocol::
OPS_Smith says:
::looks busy::
TO-Braathen says:
:;wonders when his shift will end::
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::notices the captain:: CO: ah captain, I'm having no luck accessing it.
XO_Jameson says:
::Tries to monitor the situation in Engineering from the Bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps a command out on the panel:: Out loud: Level 10?  No engineer can access that....   
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CPU: Computer, initiate manual override and disable safety interlocks on main warp drivetrain system....   Authorization Irvin 4 Omega 1912
Host Martijn says:
<Computer> CO: Authorisation accepted, security systems disabled...
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CPU: Reconfigure Engineering Security Protocol Access Privileges such that members of the engineering team and all Senior Staff may gain access....   
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
CO: Sir, could this be a mistake they did in spacedock? ::stares at the monitor::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge::  *Bridge* Irvin to Bridge...   Give it a go now....
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CEO: Nothing could surprise me less Mr. Gail.
XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Want to try her now?
Host Martijn says:
<Computer> CO: Access Rights changed within Command Authorisation.
FCO_Shania says:
XO: You want a honest answer?
OPS_Smith says:
::chuckles::
XO_Jameson says:
::Smiles at her::  FCO: Not really
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::goes over the security system one more time making sure nothing else was changed without his notice::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::having heard the remark over the com::  *Bridge*  Ok folks...  We have a job to do...  Let's save the Burns and Allen routine for later.....  
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*FCO* Reinitiate the increase....
OPS_Smith says:
::chuckles some more::
FCO_Shania says:
XO: Increasing speed.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::growing a little frustrated::
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Sometime when you are around Sir? ::Grins broadly::
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The Tal-War successfully increases to warp 7, ETA... 1 minute..
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::watches the warp core output with the CEO::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*XO* Slow us to full impulse upon reaching Marker 1....  I'm on my way back up.
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Acknowledged Sir
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::pats the CEO on the shoulder then exits Main Engineering::
XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Slow to impulse when marker one is reached.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge::
FCO_Shania says:
XO. Aye
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::watches the captain exit Main Engineering and gets back to his work::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CSO: Pre-approach scan..... 
OPS_Smith says:
::thinks that he might finally have this console figured out... maybe::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Begin data collection subroutine for shakedown procedure.  Open the sensors wide open.  ::grins::
OPS_Smith says:
CO:  Gotcha Captain.  ::initiates data collection thingie::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: Mr. Braathen... Scan for vessels in the vicinity.... 
TO-Braathen says:
CO: Aye, sir , scanning now sir :: checks sensors::
FCO_Shania says:
::hits the brakes:: CO: We've reached marker 1.
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
XO: We are coming up on an asteroid field dead ahead.  It reads as a few million kilometres in diameter.
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The Tal-War drops out of warp without any further problems. In front of the Tal-War appears a large asteroid field, all beautiful targets for the new weapons systems.
OPS_Smith says:
::feels the ship drop from warp::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Very well...  Thrusters at station keeping
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the Tactical console::  TO: Feeling lucky today ensign?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::sees the sensor readout from engineering:: *CO:* Gail to the Captain, sir are we planning to shoot at the asteroids?
OPS_Smith says:
::reorients the viewscreen to forward view::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::Taps com badge::  *CEO* You bet...   
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
Self: Luck would be if he could hit any of them while aiming manually instead of letting the computer lock on target.
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
*CO* I suggest we make a deep scan of the asteroid field before shooting, to prevent the mistake the USS Elara did a few weeks ago.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CEO* Officer thinking Lieutenant....   
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CSO::  CSO: Initiate a penetrative scan...   Is there anything in there?
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Hears the comment and starts the deep scans:: CO: Already on it, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks to XO and smiles, then sits in the centre seat::
XO_Jameson says:
::Beams a little at Irvin, and feels quite comfortable with his presence in the chair next to her::
TO-Braathen says:
CO: Aye, sir ::smiles with glee::
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
All: Scans reveal nothing out of the ordinary.  It is just a plain asteroid field consisting of Iron, granite, carbonium,.....
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::smiles::  TO: Red Alert.
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Signal our first tactical drill....
XO_Jameson says:
::Signals the first tactical drill!::
TO-Braathen says:
CO: Aye, all stations red alert ::pushes the red button::
OPS_Smith says:
::checks to be sure the data collection program is running a it should::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Thrusters ahead one half.  Initiate Offensive Maunders
TO-Braathen says:
TO: Suggest we also send out a fighter squad so they can test their skills. Sir?
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: Nahhh...  Let's not put them at any unwarranted risk this close to the asteroid field...   We're here to test the ship...  Not our luck.
OPS_Smith says:
::waits for the fun to begin::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::initiates attack pattern Gamma 3::
TO-Braathen says:
CO: just a suggestion, sir ::tries to find a nice target::
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Watches as the sensors begin feeding all sorts of data into his screen:: aloud: Impressive.
CEO_Lt_Gail says:
::monitors weapon energy output from the engineering console::
XO_Jameson says:
::Smiles, and just appreciates the shakedown::
Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: Fire at will...
OPS_Smith says:
::flinches slightly, as his first name is "Will"::
TO-Braathen says:
CO: Locking on target and firing, sir :: Fires the main phasers::
CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
Self: What did Will ever do to the captain to have him be the target of our practice today?
Host Martijn says:
As we leave the Tal-War it has successfully destroyed her first asteroid before she continues on her shakedown cruise without further problems and safely returns to Deep Space 21 to have a serious word with those Starbase Engineers. “What where they thinking??”
