[Engineering]
Tr`Remi is crawling through a Jeffrey's tube. He had been installing the new distillery system into the port warp core (he made an auxiliary shunt from the plasma injectors run through the distillation chamber). Raith had O.K.'d the proposal. However, he insisted that none of the crew be aware of the source of this new found wealth of liquor and that it not effect any of the other systems. Tr`Remi had just been a little bored and decided to use his time wisely. Hanging around with Raith you don't normally see too much peace time.
Tr`Remi>::crawling out of the Jeffrey`s tube ::Hey Ku what`s up!
Tr`Kuro>Hey Remi! What have you been doing down there for the past 20 minutes?
Tr`Remi> Oh, I just got done putting in the new still. Hey, You wanna be quality control officer?
Tr`Kuro>Can`t. On duty.
Tr`Remi>::Grabs a mug and presses the new `stout` button on the replicator ::Suit yourself. ::Remi notices something entering behind Kuro, how ever it was quite obscured by the 6`8" mass of TAC officer::
Tr`Elq>::enters::
Tr`Kuro>Hey Remi meet Elq. He`s our new Com Officer. Introduce yourselves. I`m late for duty ::exits::
Tr`Remi>Hey,You wanna be quality control?
Tr`Elq>On what?
Tr`Remi>:: holds up his glass ::It`s Fresh!
Tr`Elq>No!!::cowers:: I can`t!!
Tr`Remi>Oh, on duty too?
Tr`Elq>No! Hang over!
Tr`Remi>::nods:: Hmmm.
ACTION> Sirens blare and red alert lights flash
Tr`Remi ::puts down his glass and walks casually over to his post::
Tr`Elq>::stares amazed at Remi`s calm:: It`s a red alert!! I didn`t even see the Yellow
Tr`Remi>I know. I had to disconnect the circuit to put in the still-red alert is the important one anyway. You haven`t met Tr`Raith yet, have you? He doesn`t normally let anyone get near the ship. It`s kind of like when you get a new car.
Tr`Elq> ::stares puzzled::
Tr`Remi>Yeah, typically we just have to make sure the shields are
operational. ::Checks his console:: Yup!
Tr`Elq>Better get to the oira.
Tr`Remi>Have fun. ::waves and sips his tankard::
*Ding sound is heard from the warp core as Elq dashes out the door*
*=\/=*
tr'Kuro quickly leaves engineering, navigating his way past a few officers in the halls. He reaches the Oira, relieving the acting officer in command, taking command of the bridge.
tr'Kuro>::takes a seat in the captain's throne, tapping in a few commands:: Status report
Farein> holding a steady course to [planet]
tr'Kuro>::taps a few more keys, making a routine tactical diagnostic::
ACTION> a few short beeps go off at the COM station
tr'Kuro> Com, report!
Farien> I'm picking up a disturbance off the starboard bow
tr'Kuro>::growls tapping a key to set the yellow alert:: and !?!
Farien> ... its a cloaked vessel on a parallel course, rekkhai
tr'Kuro>::curses quietly, upgrading it to a red alert:: Helm, maintain course,
Farien>le rekkhai
tr'Kuro> SCI are we detected?
Farien> No, rekkhai
tr'Kuro> Keep it that way
tr'Kuro moves to his console, awaiting the arrival of Raith, insuring that the weapons are all on-line and functional. The flashing red light cast a strange glow across his features at he readies the ship for battle
