Mike frowned, stupid shuttle's door was broken and had just closed on
his foot. He had opened it, climbed in and shut it. Once it was shut,
he scanned it over and it was clear for takeoff, but he would report
it and have a starbase technician fix it. He cleared for take off and
set out.
As soon as he was in open space, he took a sensor report and saw a
shuttle coming to the station. He Ship-to-ship-ed and saw his latest
ensign's face on the screen. He gulped, how unorganised he had been.
"Em.. Hello Ensign. Don't suppose you want to join me on the Chimera
for the wargames, sorry I didn't say anything before hand."
The ensign looked suprised at this offer, and took up on it instantly.
"Talk to you more on the Chimera" he had said with a smile, ending the
communication. Mike smiled, he liked the new engineer a lot, he seemed
really nice.
Mike tapped the console until he had the Chimera on the screen, he
ordered an intercept course and tried to hail the Chimera, but the
shuttle he was on was poor and he would have to get close and COMM
with the bridge, a neccecity which would have him shot down if they
didnt recognise him.
When he got close enough, he tapped his commbadge and was talking with
an unrecognised Marine. Once they had confirmed he was the ACEO, after
plenty of sarcasm from Mike, they let him dock in the Chimera's
primary bay.
It took him about five minutes to get to Main Engineering with Gaalan.
He sat down at the main console, "So," he said, "lets see what changes
they've made to her" he said, wondering what wargames would actually
mean, "I wanna know in what capacity we will be fighting, and I want
the warp core protected against accident" he said
Smiling he added, "Lets get to it!" He headed for the warp core
console and pressed a good number of buttons, the blue glow lessened
and a force field surrounded both levels.
Excusing himself, Mike headed for the bridge for an update.
