(The following is a collaborative post between myself, Draconis, Rumiko and Blade) Juvum: Captain Juvum entered the Briefing room right behind the bridge, and tapped his com badge. "Captain Juvum to all Senior Staff. Report to the Briefing Room immedietly." He'd just received his orders and needed to brief everyone else on board. It would be a quick meeting and a quick trip, but a good maiden voyage is essential if a ship is going to have a good career. [hr] Jinn: = /\ ="Tactical, Aye, Aye"= /\ = : answered Jinn Crisply as she motioned her assistant over. It was perhaps 12 steps for her to cover before entering the briefing-room where she gives the Captain a nod on entering; only ensigns and green crew come to attention every-time they see the captain. She takes her seat and lays her PADD on the table before her. [hr] Simia: Simia rushed into the briefing room as quickly and composed as he could, his PADD in his hand which he had quickly downloaded pertinent information on to. He wasn't sure if it was a general meeting or a briefing so he had prepared for both. The Grandeur was ready to fly on command and she'd cruise happily. It had taken him the full two days to get the issues resolved, the ship was powered and running perfectly for once. The doors had been his worst nightmare, he had been fixing those for ages, and he still woke up every so often completely terrified that another door was malfunctioning. [hr] Juvum: The captain remained standing after all the Senior officers reported and sat down. "Our first mission is simple. We've taken on 45 civillian passengers, and we're to transport them to Alpha Centauri. Once that's done we need to come back. Shouldn't be too hard for a maiden flight. Before we set off, are there any concerns or problems that need to be addressed? The past few days have been a bit of a disaster, but i'd rather it all be one disaster as opposed to damaging a key system halfway on a simple mission." [hr] Jinn: "My department has detected a few Security system glitches, the port phaser emitters needed calibrating, and I'm still short a full staff. Other than those I can think of little to complain about." [hr] Simia: "I've not placed weapons at the top of my priorities, I prefered we would be able to move first" Simia replied with a sigh. He looked across the table to the Security officer and decided to offer some form of olive branch. "However we can do a calibration and test once we get underway, probably" Once said, he sat back and began looking up how far away the phaser array was from working. Essentially it was running fine, but he would need to check the glitches just in case. "As for system glitches, I'll check your console later. On my part, we're pretty much running green across the board, phasers nonwithstanding, warp ready at your command sir." He nodded to his captain and felt proud of himself. He'd done well in fixing the ship. It was so much larger than a Miranda class ship and had many more engineers. Suddenly, one of the doors opened. Nobody was behind it. Simia suppressed his rage and adds, "Apparently the door malfunction is still present in part. It seems to be in each door but affecting them all separately." He had his hands clenched tight and was glad the uniform covered his arms so that people wouldn't see his veins popping out. The door closed again, and Simia received a message on his PADD. "Warp Core online. Any further orders?" Simia angrily replies "Yes, another door malfunction in the briefing room, send someone up in 30 minutes. Prepare for departure and begin bringing the phaser array online, we'll test them once underway, I have a Tactical console to check as well so do a quick diagnostic on bridge consoles too." A cat then jumped up on Simia's lap, and made itself comfortable. [hr] Jinn: Jinn clears her throat : "I have already assigned my people to repair or reset the systems in question and they should be waiting for an Engineering inspection; it is easy to see you're stretched thin and I have men without a lot to do." [hr] Vetek: Vetek for the most part sitting silently with his hands folded on the table taking in the complaints and issues that were appearing across over the ship. After the question asked by the Captain to problems needing addressing. First was the Tactical officer addressing security system issues, something which Vetek took note of as something he could look into. Then was the Chief Engineer the Klingon. Vetek's eyes transfix on the man as he talked about his issues and problems he had on the ship. Vetek adds after Jinn spoke up, "I may be able to provide assistances to the security system glitches. Having specialized in multiple security system I should be able to provide the needed assistance " Adding the Vulcan way of speaking trying to offer his assistance and get a look at this system's glitch himself. [hr] Simia: Simia glared at Jinn as she said that she had done repairs of her own. "I'm certainly hope they will be satisfactory." He begins before his superior officer interjects and offers his own assistance. Simia quickly checks his clearance and capabilities and it appeared that he actually had a lot of knowledge and skill with weapon and defensive systems. More than his own skill even. Simia relented and took another moment to consider an appropriate response. "That would be most.. appreciated, sir." He said. He was mostly irritated by what he considered Jinn's insinuation that his team was incapable with keeping up. [hr] Jinn: Jinn turned to regard the 1st officer briefly before speaking once more addressing the CE's concerns: "It is obvious that like all such complex assembly of machinery and personnel the Grandeur has its cascade of faults and forgotten points; the Emitters showed they had only assembled and not even calibrated. I understand the feeling that I have stepped on your toes and can only offer you the ability to chastise me in a sparring duel . I made sure those personnel who did touch the machinery had passed their appropriate levels dictated by the repair manuals." Said the tall red head as if she were reading out a to do list. [hr] Juvum: "Unless there is anything else to be said i believe that covers all of our problems. If thats the case, then i want you-" He said, pointing to K'Laa, "To work on fixing the doors, and you two-" He pointed to Vetek and Jinn. "bring the phasers online. I want all of this done before we reach Alpha Centauri, understood?"
