Nick was on the Bridge. He liked being on the bridge, if engineering was his first home then the bridge was his second. Since his promotion he had not been in engineering nearly as much as he would have liked but the thrill of command was too good to pass up. He was checking over last minute status updates and making sure everything they needed for the voyage was onboard. It looked like everything was going to plan so he sat back in his chair and looked out the viewport where he saw that there were still a few 'bees' floating around outside. 

'bees' was a term used to refer to Cargo Management Units, a one man worker pod used to move cargo and carry out external maintenance on starships. Most Federations starships carried one and starbases and drydocks had many. He wondered if Orion's was out there, checking his PADD. It was. He checked the time.

"Open a channel to CMU 067." He said to the Comm officer on the bridge.
