Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
:: a voice comes from the dark on stage :: Burton: Please have a seat lieutenant

LtJg_Burton says:
::Takes a seat in the front row:: Kell: Thank you.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: We can begin shortly if you do not mind.

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: As you wish.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Well I was hoping for a larger turnout, but I do enjoy a captive audience. :: with that a large Cardassian male in a Starfleet engineers uniform walks to the front of the stage::

LtJg_Burton says:
::Squirms in his seat a little::

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
:: with a typical Cardassian smile :: Burton: I do hope Cardassians do not offend you

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: I look forward to learning from you sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Well I do not bite...well I do, but only females and I have to know them better

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Well sir being a Cardassian captive would make anyone nervous. ::Smiling::

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Rest assured I have not taken a captive since I joined Starfleet, considered it I must say.  Forgive me I digress.  What type of vessel do you serve on?

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Arcadia station sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Ah station duty, how comfortable it must be, have you seen combat yet?

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Very little, compared to yourself, I am sure.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Of that I have no doubt.  So you want to learn how to increase the power of the stations weapons and shields is that your quest?

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Sir I believe the more knowledge an officer possesses the great power we all have, so yes that would be my goal.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: An admiral philosophy, Now what would you do first to increase shield power?

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Being a CMO the first thing I do is call the CEO.

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: I believe the correct course might be to divert power from none essential sources sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Yes but what if you do not have a CEO to fall back on.  You see in the Cardassian military you learn each station, so that no one person is the savior

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Correct but not just empty quarters, move the civilians and off duty personnel to the emergency shelters so that you can cut entire sections of the habit area and redirect the power

LtJg_Burton says:
::Notes that to his PADD::

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: The main reactors on your station were originally designed for Excelsior class starships.  So with evacuation in place you should be able to generate twice the power of that type of starship.  So you will in effect have plenty of power to augment the shields

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: As for the phasers, you should have sufficient power for combat.  But if you bypass the phaser charging sequence and send bursts of power directly from the reactors it will boost output about 5 fold.  However is depletes the reactors more rapidly and can damage phaser arrays

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Sir, is that within Starfleet safety guidelines?

LtJg_Burton says:
::Looks over at the new officer::

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: No, but remember the being who created the guidelines was not under enemy fire

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: Welcome and have a seat

CEO_Derryth says:
:: Enters the room, takes a seat ::

CEO_Derryth says:
Pirak: Thank you sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: Now to bring you up to speed on this seminar; first what type of vessel do you serve on?  second does my being Cardassian bother you?

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: I serve aboard the Apache, New Orleans class. You are a Starfleet officer I see that first.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: Well spoken ensign.  Now the same question for you I posed for JG Burton.  If your ship was under attack how would you get more power to augment the shields

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: I would route power from secondary systems.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: But you are on a ship, you do not have the luxury Burton does of having great amounts of raw power available, now where to get the power from

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: Where sir? Transport, Replication, life support.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: Well if this is multiple choice your answer should be d, all of the above

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: And you would do well to remember as a medical officer that your containment force fields are self sufficient, power can be rerouted for emergency replicators. 

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: Sir, regarding protocol, when red alert is issued, are non-essentials moved to evac areas?

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Derryth: Negative.  Red alert simply brings the combat status of the ship up.

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: Noted sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Both: What I am trying to teach the both of you is that what is in the users manual for your ship or station may not be best or may get you killed

Ens_Derryth says:
::nods::

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: Is the limit of our vessels tested like that on a regular basis sir?

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: No when your ship or station is under repair it is tested to make sure it will handle what the specifications say, nothing more.  That’s why it is the responsibility of the CEO to make sure the extra work is done to keep systems where they can withstand extra strain

Ens_Derryth says:
CEO: Permission to depart sir?

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Both: Well our time is over.  Derryth: Granted ensign

Ens_Derryth says:
::Stands and exits the conference room::

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: So even though two ships may be of the same class, their performance may vary?

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Both: In fact to show Cardassians are not heartless you may both leave

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Yes and vary in many ways

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: So it bodes well for the CEO to know his equipment very well.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: His life may depend on it

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: As well as his crews. Well sir I am grateful for your time and I hope to see you at another seminar in the near future. Thank you.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Shall we go lieutenant, I have a bottle of Kanar waiting for me.  I hope what I have told you helps

LtJg_Burton says:
Kell: It has sir, and I also have another seminar to attend. Good night sir.

Host CEO_Lt_Pirak_Kell says:
Burton: Good night  :: picks up his padd and leaves the room::
