OOC: w/ Echo

Earths newest BC-304 the [i]Catherine Langford[/i] sat in an arctic polar orbit high above Earth. It had arrived nearly a day ago, and even now the last of the supplies and personnel were being beamed aboard in preparation for the ships first assignment. On the ships bridge, the holographic display at the front of the bridge flickered to life with an image of General Landry in the SGC. “Captain Black, the last group of personnel is just about ready to beam up. Williams has already picked out your first destination, he says he’ll brief you when he gets there. It is good to see a ship get back from its maiden voyage and not need a week of repairs for once though.”

"They know I wouldn't take kindly to them breaking my ship, sir." Captain shot the camera a half smile. She just arrived herself, bringing in the rest of the 302s. She was looking for an excuse to fly one for a long time and she finally had her moment. With her controls beeping, she looked on the side display to check what demanded her attention. "The last batch just arrived, we're stocked up and in the green. Ready to go, sir." Inwardly she was squeeing, although none of it showed on the outside.

The image of Landry smiled at that. “Hopefully we won’t see the Langford back on Earth for a while. I trust you enjoyed the flight up?” Across the rest of the ship supplies were being stowed, systems were being triple checked for readiness and personnel were moving to their stations. It wouldn’t be long before the Langford would be underway on its first mission. With no answer forthcoming for a moment, Landry moved on quickly. “Alright, you have a go to move out as soon as the ship is ready. Do try to take care of her.”

"I'll take care of all of them, general." Catherine said, looking around the bridge. "We're probably going to dead worlds, I don't think we'll be back before we're done." Captain said and saluted as the line shut down. She got the feeling that was wishful thinking, but there was no need to say that out loud and bother the crew with it, as there was nothing that could be done about that other than exercising caution. "Status report." she said sharply. When all stations reported green, she nodded. "Break orbit, set course for P2C-119 and take us into hyperspace." Äfter a brief ‘Jawohl’ from the NO, the bridge was filled with the buzz of the hyperdrive and they were on their way.
