Jax walked through Engineering, checking everything, at least once. She wasn't going to fire the engines until she was certain there would be no issues, she'd spent so much time with them, they were like her children, she couldn't risk anything happening to them so early." I hope you girls are ready for your big girl panties, nap times over."

Jax flipped the switch on the power core's link to the Engines, and watched as the Ionization chambers came to a full charge." Hmm, a little slow on initial startup, but you'll be purring like a kitten once you have some time to warm up." Jax walked back to the control panels and flipped the master switches for the engines. A smirk crossed her face as the Powerful engines came to life. She cycled the power up slowly to 60%, the lights getting a bit brighter througout the vessel as the engines take over the strain from the central power core. After a few checks, and double checks, and no signs of problems, Jax powers the engines up to 75% power, their standard running level, and puts in a call to the Captain. " Engineering to Bridge, Engines at optimal levels, power and life support levels holding, everything looks good here."
