"Keep us steady, Mr. Wilson.  We are not testing the bombers or the OADies today.' A young man said politely sitting  near the back of a rather large bridge. He was talking to his helmsman who sat it front of his console quickly pressing buttons  as the ship stayed in orbit over the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. High command wanted the ship to test her orbital gravity generators, so the captain had chosen the spot where he had decided he wanted to join the navy. When he was a boy, his father had taken him on his ship and showed  him this exact spot. Jake had promised himself he would some day take his own ship and eventually his own child here.

"Alright. Move us into the gravity zones and start the generators." He ordered as his crew moved to follow his commands. The Ptolemy shook but she was a strong ship. Eventually she stabilized and stayed still. "Excellent! It works. Send the data to Earth..." He said before his comms officer cut him off. "Sir! Message from Titan HQ. For your eyes only." Jake nodded as the data was to his chair. He read it quickly before turning to the crew. 

"Orders from Titan. We are to go to the Scol System. Start plotting the course while I address the crew." He said as his crew got to work. The ship was moved out of Jupiter orbit. Jake turned in his chair as his screen came up. His image appeared around the ship on different screens. It was old fashioned but it was the Geary way. "We are heading out to the Scol system. It will take us 45 minutes to power to FTL and in that time I need all craft ready. I need both drones and ships ready to go.  When we arrive I want the bombers and drone teams ready for a quick insertion. We are designed for orbital actions so let's show them. Everything must work. We all need to be our best. I know we all will. Geary out." He said as the entire crew began running around the ship getting ready.

In exactly 45 minutes, the ship fired the main FTL drive and powered up to full power. "All hands brace for FTL jump in 3...2..1.. Jump." He said as the Ptolemy launched into FTL. It took her about an hour before she phased into the area. "Boss, we are in place. I detect Courage, Phoenix, Reaper, and Riptide. I will send them all a message." Marta said as Jake looked up and saw the images of the other Captains. "GANS Ptolemy standing by. Jacob Geary here. I have my crew standing by." He said as the feed was put in the background. He was too busy organizing his crew.
