USS Avalon NCC 06742-A: Episode I

"Everything Old is New Again..."

Summary:
Three of the Avalon's newest recruits come aboard on a shuttlecraft and are greeted by the ship's SO, Lt. Commander Strife. The three of them are lead by Commander Strife up to the bridge, where they examine their new stations briefly, then are brought into Captain Hunter's ready room. He explains to them the ship's mission and basic function, revealing that the Avalon is a Sovereign class ship truly like no other due to its modifications. Captain Hunter sends the group down to the second deck of the ship, an area known as the CIC, to get a very real impression of the ship's capability and function.


Captain Alex Hunter: -=[BEGIN SIM]=-
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The shuttle comes in full view of the docked Avalon
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][CO] I don't know Alex... the new warp core isn't really sitting well with engineering right now.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She tapped at the shuttle's main console, looking up out of the windows at the Avalon:: [HELM][TAC] Well, there's our Sovereign class.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: ::Verkal operated the helm with skill someone who was not supposedly fully trained with federation technology should have:: [HELM][CO] We're approaching the Avalon ma'am ::Calling a Bajoran that was going to take some getting used
Crewman Recruit Verkal: to::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CNS] ::: stands and moves to the bridge ::: Well, tell him to get it replaced. Since we're not at SB eight, we should take their hospitality.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Avalon's exterior is a buzz with activity. From their vantage point the new crew can see the work being conducted on the phaser cannon mounted on the venteral side of the avalon's saucer.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She would, of course, have to get used to working with the Cardassians as well, so just nodded stiffly.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC]::Remaining silent her hand pressed to her side for the moment simply watching the Avalon come into view.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Chuckles ::: [CO] Well, I can't wait till Jonathan gets back. ::: Sits at the operations console ::: Ahhh a shuttle. Must be the new crew members.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CNS] ::: Smirks softly and says to her aside from earshot of the busy technicians who are ripping up his bridge ::: I hope we get some interesting ones.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She bit her toungue softly, deciding to make idle conversation to break the ice.:: [HELM][TAC] I wonder how long it will be until we're able to get underway. They still look very busy with the refits.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Smirks ::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: ::his fingers danced across the control panels as he started to guide the shuttle in, waiting for confirmation before actually beginning any form of docking protocol:: [HELP][TAC] I told you it was more impressive than the old
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][HELM] Well... you did. ::She was still ash pale and looked amazed and about to bite nails at the same time.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: Galor line ::he then responded to the ensign's comment:: [HELM][CO] It does appear as though the ship as been through a great deal
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO]+T+[SHUTTLE] Shuttle Omlaut, this is the USS Avalon. Please respond.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TNOIP] At least it is not the Ferengi anymore ::Goes quiet as the communique comes in.::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::taps on the command console again:: +T+[CO] Shuttle Omlaut reading you, Avalon, this is Ensign Corav.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS]+T+[SHUTTLE] Am transmitting flight pattern for landing. Welcome aboard.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: ::the flight pattern received, Verkal entered it into the shuttle's computer. He was not the best of pilots, but these protocols seemed to make things fairly simple::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO]+T+[CNS] Thank you Avalon, Omlaut out. ::She closed the hail and looked over to the Cardassian:: [HELM] That's you. ::She then offered a weak smile, trying her hardest to get over her prejudices.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][CO] Maybe you'll luck out and there will be a cute one.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Rolls his eyes and takes a PADD from a crewman, signing off on a new terminal :::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: ::he nodded respectfully, letting a slight smile come out as well. She didn't seem hostile ... that was a good thing::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CNS] Yea... since you care so much, go ahead and check for me.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][CO] ::: laughs ::: Understood ::: Jumps into the lift and heads towards the shuttle bay.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The rear bay doors slide open.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::She held onto her side but stayed silent. Her head tilted forward a little bit watching the doors open so they could enter.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Inside they see a vartiable hangar as two decks are covered in various shuttle craft and run abouts.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::As she watched the command console, she allowed her mind to wander... she thought of whether she'd be allowed to wear her earring, having heard of Hunter's laid back style, and who else she would meet on board.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] :::Stands, arms akimbo, awaiting the shuttle sequence to run its course :::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::She smiled a bit now her eyes pensive for a long moment then she went very still::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: ::he checked over the systems one last time, making sure all was properly locked down before standing, and making his way to the shuttle doors, picking up his satchel on the way::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She looked up, a bit startled at the hangar-like appearance of the shuttlebay. She mumbled under her breath, barely audible.:: [NOIP] This is the real deal....
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The deck meets the shuttle as it touches down and is ordered to its taxi spot.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Moves directly behind the shuttle :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::Feeling the shuttle touch down, she stood and picked her bag up from beside her chair as well, awkwardly slinging it across her body from her right shoulder to her left side. She then filed in behind Verkal.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Liel stood up tapping the small hidden instrument under her shirt and it stopped making that annoying sound. A slight nod as she picked up a small case.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][NOIP] Much more impressive than the old Galor line ... ::since he was in front, he assumed it was his job to open the shuttle door ... so his hand went to the little panel next to it::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The door slides open.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::A ghost of a smile again. This was actually her true smile. It was the only one that touched her eyes any as she fell in behind the Ensign.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Looks at the new arrivals with sober interest :::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::A slight lift of a brow as she blinked at the welcoming committee.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The new recruits see a woman of exceptional beauty in her late twenties. She has black combat boots which are highly shined, cargo pants and is wearing the standard issue tunic and under shirt but
Captain Alex Hunter: The tunic is untucked and unzipped, worn like a jacket.
Captain Alex Hunter: Also her uniform has a starfleet symbol with a sword down the center.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM]::he exited, and seeing people who were clearly superior officers stood in that ridged at attention manner that only only a Cardassian with years of military service seemed able to pull off::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] Orders, please.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She looked out of the shuttle doors before stepping down and stiffening to the attention posture for the woman.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Holds her hand out waiting for the PADDs :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] :: The uniform being unzipped instantly confirmed everything she'd ever heard about the CO, she thought as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the PADD with her orders and held it out.:: Sir.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Goes militantly rigid once off the shuttle. The small case set slowly down. Using the same hand to hand over her PADD.:: Sir.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] Relax... I'm not a male, by the way ::: pats her chest. Takes the PADDs and zips through them :::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][HELM] And you?
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he offered his PADD as well, relaxing a bit:: [CNS] Ma'am
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: after reading them ::: [ALL] Follow me to the bridge, please. Oh, and uh, welcome aboard.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Starts off at a brisk pace :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::Relaxed a bit, still tense as usual when transferring to a first post. She hoped she hadn't made a bad impression by using the standard "sir" on a female, but it was too late to worry about that now.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::relaxes slightly but not much. Her eyes searching about. She picked up the case again and followed.::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She followed the woman, taking long strides to keep up.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he followed along, his satchel over his shoulder. Seemed all Federation ships and stations were chilly. He was at least able to match the woman's pace::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The entire crew is in the same relaxed uniform as she. The new arrivals stick out like sore thumbs. However altered their uniforms are, there is speed, efficency and safety seen in their movements.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: as soon as they all are in the lift she simply says ::: Bridge
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Looks at the collection ::: [ALL] Cardassian, Betazed and Bajoran
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] Sounds like the beginning to a joke...
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][HELM] At least we can dress the way we want to appearantly. ::Her statement half amused with that ghost smile. Stepping from the lift.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] A bajoran, cardassian and betazoid get in a shuttle craft and...
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She looked at the woman, the beginnings of a slight snicker forming across her lips, but not offering any comment.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][NOIP] They all get out alive?
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] Actually, our ship is much different from any other Soverign. We carry a crew of 1015 and are a battle ship.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] There is also the matter of the phaser cannon on the venteral side of the saucer.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][TAC] Maybe I can get some heavier clothing ::he smirked at his old friend, keeping his voice low::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She nodded, taking in all of the information. She was a little surprised at the extensive modifications.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] And about the uniform. This is our class C. It's standard wear. We only wear what you're wearing in base. We tend to be an autonomous unit capable of deep operation behind enemy lines.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The lift stops at the bridge
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he follows into the bridge, seeming more, and more pleased with all of this. A Federation warship ... that would have sent things into an uproar back home::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: don't like tight clothing much. And I love space. ::Seeing the instrumentation her eyes lit up for the first time.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] This is the bridge.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] All systems are double redundant and the targeting sensor is being added as we speak.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She looked around the bridge, still listening to the woman.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] To the rear of the bridge is the "Observation Lounge
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Sets her small case beside the post her hands moving over the buttons and displays. Like a child for a moment as she observed it all.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: more commonly known as the Tactical Assimilation Center.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She grinned at nickname, amused.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: All things are at tactical. Quantam torpedeos, photons, phasers and the dreaded power to launch the four transphasic torpedos carried in the ships bowels
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Straightens a bit paying better attention. But can't help grinning over what she's seeing.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][MO] Corav, for now, you'll be Operations.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::all he could think of right now was how advanced all this technology really was ... he strode over to the helm controls, peering at them::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She nodded.:: [CNS] Aye.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Helm looks very different. Warp and impulse have more control and the ship has 60 verniers for manuvering at various sections on the hull. There is also an eye peice for first person manuvering.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::Slowly walking over to the Operations console next to Verkal's, she placed her hand flat against it and felt its smoothness.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Operations, the ship's nerve center has been redesigned to allow for maximum effeciency when allocating ships resources. Also, the science station has been integrated and runs almost autonomously from OPS
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][NOIP] Amazing ... ::he sort of let out, checking over the systems::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] [ALL] Glad you all approve.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] Now if you follow me, I'm sure the captain has a few words.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Seems to already know where she wants to be. Her gaze lifting to the view screen checking her view. That annoying whirring sound again followed by another tap to the failing instrumentation. Then nodding a little bit.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: turning slightly waiting to be lead to the Captain.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: depresses the ready room chime. After a while, she opens the door :::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The ready room is also different.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: It is dark and there are soft wall lights illuminating the room in combination with holographic displays. PADDs are scattered across the desk. Old weapons, M16s, M4s, AKSUs, Phasers and great war works of literature adorn
Captain Alex Hunter: the walls.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he nodded, following ... counter intelligence and security tended to be his forte ... but where ever they felt it best to place him he'd go. This was all just mind blowing::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A painting of the Tactical Academy Class which Hunter was a member of is shown behind his desk. Only eight souls are portrayed out of 1032 beginners.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A little dachshund (wenier dog) sleeps in its bed near the door to the bed chamber/wash room.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A voice says "Take a seat, please."
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: There is a 3 person couch and 2 chairs infront of the desk
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::well, the captain seemed to enjoy weaponry ... not that he objected. He walked over, and sat on one side of the couch, as he was told to do::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: looks at the academy painting, just as she has every other time she was in there ::: That was a high attrition rate.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The lights raise to a softer level and the Captain turns around in his chair.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Looks at everything blinking then seeing the dog tilts her head that ghost smile passing her face. Then looks to the voice automatically finding a seat on the couch next to Verkal. Comfortable was good.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: He is dressed in the very same as the Lieutenant Commander only with a red undershirt.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Welcome aboard the USS Avalon, NCC 06742 A
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She stepped forward, looking around the ready room before finding her way to the last remaining seat on the couch.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] First, let me make sure you all want to be here... do you know what this ship does?
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he managed not to put an arm over Liel's shoulder, and nodded to the captain:: [CO] Thank you sir ... and if I am not mistaken, combat? ::he half stated, half asked::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She nodded solemnly and speaks softly.:: [CO] Yes sir.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][HELM] That's a given. We're a command ship, an assault carrier, a battleship and covert ops vessel balled into one.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Half blinks tilting her head. It was perfect. That ghost smile again more a change in her eyes than a smile.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] The Avalon and her ancestor were involved in raids in the dominion war, and has been at the site of every borg incursion since 2375
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::all three of those seemed to be acceptable tasks, all rolled into one he thought of as ideal::
Captain Alex Hunter: The Intrepid-class Avalon, stopped the borg cube over Quo'Nos. We warped into the thing.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] To drop the BS ::: Stands and moves to the front of his desk sitting on it ::: We do everything we can to defeat an enemy.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] We are well equipt but that doesn't guarntee saftey.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] Sounds like a plan to me. ::She stated. Since when was she worried about safety? A slight nod of understanding.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] I don't know if you requested this ship, just were put here, or what but no matter what realize this: things are a lot different on this vessel.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] If you're married we stand to be away for years without returning to earth. If you have children you may not see them till they've broken through puberty or their species's equvilant.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She nodded again, understanding completely and having no attachments to worry about. This was fine for her.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Leans in, the locks of his raven hair which are not pulled back into his pony tail fall infront of his face, making his lavender eyes glow ::: [ALL] If you don't want to be here, I will transfer you. All you need do is ask.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Any problems?
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO][CO] No sir.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::Only real friend he had was sitting next to him. So this sort of thing would not be a problem:: [CO] None, Sir.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] None, sir. ::She was sitting next to her only friend as well. No problems there.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] That's good. Your team mates, friends, enemies, aquaintences, lovers, children and one night stands are all on this ship. Now that this is out of the way... Should we get to work?
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Grins slightly.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][CO] I fail to see why not, Sir ::the rope like muscles in his neck flexing::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Now...
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] ::: dims the lights and brings up a holographic image of the Avalon. ::: as you all noticed, no doubt, we are in the middle of a refit.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he nodded, thinking he might as well throw himself into this::
Captain Alex Hunter: The Avalon took a beating when she was recaptured so we have to replace parts and also upgrade her aging sensor package, shuttle controllers and transport systems.
Captain Alex Hunter: For some reason or another Starfleet has told me that you all will be the heads of your departments
Captain Alex Hunter: I've never had any enlisted as department heads but, hey, variety is the spice of life.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::sits listening it would take her a bit to learn all the things she needed. She'd be in simulations alot for a few days till she had it all down. She was observing too, learning. She blinked at that. Lifting a brow. A ghost
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: smile.::
Captain Alex Hunter: Verkal, your primary duty will be steering this baby.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She took her eyes off of the display long enough to look at the Captain with a bit of surprise, having never heard of that either.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he looked a bit startled at this ... why would they want him for a key post on a ship like this? He would not mind:: [CO] I had best begin familiarizing myself with the controls then
Captain Alex Hunter: ::: His rolled up sleeves show his well formed biceps as he crosses his arm :::
Captain Alex Hunter: Well that's not all you do
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he raised an eyebrow:: [CO] What other duties am I to perform, Sir?
Captain Alex Hunter: You act as a liason to the ships engineering officer (when one is assigned) and also control the shuttle bay.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] Your job is to coordinate our tactical department.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][CO] Very well, Sir ::the closest he'd come to this kind of responsibility was a post in the Cardassian fleet ... which was nothing like this::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::her head tilted. They would all be taking extra duties it seemed.:: [CO] Are we all taking extra duties and if we are, please clearify.
Captain Alex Hunter: Right now we don't have a security officer so you will be double as security. You make sure the phasers are squared away and that ALL assault craft (the Argo-class run abouts, the Danube, the Type 11 Shuttles, the Delta Flyer and
Captain Alex Hunter: my yatch, the Langley) are good to go.
Captain Alex Hunter: These aren't extra. These are standard on this ship
Captain Alex Hunter: If a photon torpedo doesn't fire I'll be looking for you. If my yatch's weapons don't work, like wise. Coordinate with the engineer (when we get one) on the weapons systems.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Simply nods. Mentally listing everything in her head. Her fingers tapping that malfunctioning unit again timing it perfectly to avoid the noise.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][OPS] Well, you're operations. Your job is to make sure everything goes smoothly and division A,B,C doesn't collide with division X,Y,Z's department times.
Captain Alex Hunter: You will be involved in tactical planning, diplomacy and you are also our permenant resident science officer
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: strokes his chin ::: Anything so far?
Ensign Corav Feala: [OPS][CO] No sir.
Captain Alex Hunter: ::: looks to the other two :::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] Do we have any clue when the Medical Staff will be assigned? ::Her voice steady but low.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][CO] No, Sir
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] We already have one doctor aboard, Lieutenant J'tor. Klingon female... does WONDERS for back pain. In anycase. She gives the physicals.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::a Klingon doctor? Was that even possible? He didn't know how well Liel would tolerate that ... ::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Blinks a bit. Her eyes half closing for a moment. Then nods.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] What else... my door is always open... literally. There's been a malfunction lately, hence the pause in entering.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She snickered.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Nods a bit her eyes straying to the dog sleeping still. Her head tilted.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::a very small smile ... he was still a little surprised by all this::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] Your quarters may be a bit more spartan than the Academy or basic training. They're small to allow for more crew. Junior enlisted sleep in racks of 4 attached to a common area shared by 4 others
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] Since you all are department heads, however, your quarters are fairly spacious. Deck 2 is the CIC...
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] For those of you who have not been, it's the most impressive feature of the ship.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She cocked a brow, not quite sure what that was.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Glances to Verkal looking amused. Then blinked back to the Captain.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] Deck 3 is where you will find your quarters. They are basically a living room, bed room and bathroom. Pretty big comparatively to the rest of the ship.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::his face almost crashed at the way the enlisted quarters were described, but he perked back up again when he found out that would not be a problem for him. Maybe he'd be able to keep warm after all::
Captain Alex Hunter: My quarters are on deck eight in the center of the saucer, if anyone was wondering.
Captain Alex Hunter: Poker is in the Lieutenant Commander's quarters at 2000 hours every friday night.
Captain Alex Hunter: Oh!
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC][CO] Terrible player but I like to watch.
Captain Alex Hunter: That's right. You all get your own private mess hall. Deck 3 is where the senior officers mess is located. So, if you have the "hankerin" for a midnight snack, Krell, our resident bolian chef, will make anything you like.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::Couldn't help but wonder how many Bajoran dishes this "Krell" knew, of course.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] Any other questions?
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::Yes, this was a lot better then life on board a Galor class. He hoped for a little Cardassian cuisine:: [CO] Not from me at this time, Sir
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Hopes Krell knows Cardassian food or she might have to learn to cook.:: [CO] Not off the top of my head. errmmm where is the doctor now?
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][TAC] ::: Smiles cryptically ::: If I were a bettin man, I'd wager sickbay
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CNS] Take them to the C.I.C. for a little and let them "play"
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Ghost smiles almost offered a challenge in that. Her brow lifting. Then she turned to Verkal. A slight nod of her head.::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][CO] Yes, sir. [AGAIN] Let's roll, kiddies
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: leaves the ready room :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She blinked, a little confused, but stood up and followed the Lt. Commander out of the room.::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Stands up lifting a brow. Was far from a "kiddie" but follows.::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Smirks looking down at his PADD then follows the Ensign out :::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::as he stood, he shot Liel a look that just seemed to ask if she really needed to hit sickbay. He followed the woman however, behind the Ensign::
Captain Alex Hunter: ::: with his eyes, that is :::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Scratches Dudley's head ::: Good pup
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Steps into the lift :::
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::In the lift herself that case snapped up on the way. That small whirring sound for a moment and she closed her eyes slightly.::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO][CNS] May I ask what this "C.I.C." is?
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: simply says ::: CIC. You'll find out.
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The lift stops almost as soon as it starts and requests a password
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::he entered the lift, eyes still on Liel::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS] ::: Types in the 6 digits :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She sighed, barely audible.::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::However, she was still quite curious as to what this was, so watched the doors closely.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The door slides open and reveals a dark room with two halves. Seperating the halves are holographic display screens with crew manning every one. Major communications equiptment, a 360 degree holo view screen and an elevated
Captain Alex Hunter: command tier in the center of the room for the fleet commander and auxiliary helm and tactical.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][NOIP] What have we here?
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Everyone in this room is in the standard starfleet uniform, excluding technicians. The whole room is literally a buzz with information and various telimetries and statistics.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::Her jaw dropped slightly as she leaned forward, still standing in the lift until the Commander walked into the room, trying to take in the whole room.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: One station shows a reman war bird while the other is transmitting information on the Treaty of Algernon. 100+ stations meant for coordinating MASSIVE fleet combat and information.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] This is the CIC... Combat Integration (or information) Center.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] We use this to command fleets... I say fleets.... we could command every ship in starfleet with additional computer equiptment which could be stored in two Miranda class vessels.
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Lifts a brow amused for a moment. Then blinked at the images at first then moving to the auxiliary pannels whistling softly. As she observed everything.:: [NOIP] Command ship. Look at all this. ::She frowned at the displays
Crewman Recruit Liel Andora: taking in the information.::
Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: She speaks over the hum of 105 voices.
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM] ::any question in his mind as to how these people bested the Domion was by now totally expunged from his mind::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][ALL] ::: Proudly ::: We're the only ship in the fleet capable of this many operations at once. We pride ourselves on it.
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She spoke to no one in particular, even though it was partly in response to Liel.:: [NOIP] Very impressive. I never saw anything like this at the Academy. They didn't even admit anything like this existed.
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][HELM] In all fairness, at the time of the dominion war, this ship was a dream. We were on the intrepid class ::: Taps her head, remind him she's betazoid :::
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][MO] There's a reason. Only tactical academy graduates know this stuff exists.
Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Steps from behind them :::
Lt. Commander Selphie Strife: [CNS][CO] ::: Nods smiling to the CO :::
Ensign Corav Feala: [MO] ::She whistled softly.::
Crewman Recruit Verkal: [HELM][CNS] Indeed ... ::don't snap ... superior officer ... took some effort to hold off his aversion to telepathy. Having someone know his thoughts was rather disturbing for a man who had traded in secrets for so long::
