"Engineering reports ready" said Mike casually across the bridge, Galaan, who was in charge of Main Engineering had just reported that the warp core was now running at 60% and was protected by a surrounding forcefield. Mike knew that this assured safety during the gaming, because even though all damage was simulated, an accidental warp core breach would probably not be the best thing, especially as this was early into his time as CEo and he didn't want to kill himself, all hands on the ship and destroy the Chimera. It wouldn't be long before the games began, but they would likely last many hours, considering that they would probably be outmatched by their target. Mike looked around the bridge from the Engineering Station on the right hand side, there would still be two or three people joining them and so Mike just sat and waited, looking through just how the Wargames system emulated damage and fake phasers and was amazed. "What would happen if we were attacked by a hostile vessel, with only these light guns on?" asked Mike, half serious, half musing at the concept. "Then you need to be very fast" replied the Marine sat in the command chair, "1lt Acheson by the way" said the officer in the command chair, introducing himself. Mike introduced himself, and then they settled into silence, both just tapping at their console, checking everything. The last shuttle had just arrived on the Chimera, bringing which ever Medical Officer had been given the task of waiting there in case someone fell over, two technicians to work in engineering and the ensign who would be acting the ops officer. The view screen was jumping to a different view of part of the Chimera's hull every minute, at the moment it was showing from the point of view of the main shuttle bay exit, looking out over the rear of the ship. Mike watched this picture for a while, and then the next which showed the underside of the Intrepid class ship, before looking back to his console to check the report on warp coil consistency in the left nacelle, just as he had ordered. Time seemed to pass slowly, building up to the big fight, and Mike kept loose track of people moving around the bridge, waiting to find out what ship they would have to overcome.
