Time to Launch

Posted on Mon Jun 28th, 2021 @ 4:58am by Captain John Wells & Admiral Charles Star & Commander Yadira Tristan House Kilrah & Lieutenant Commander Timber Wolf

Mission: The Departure

ON:

{USS Eminence, Bridge}

The day finally came for the launch. For the first time since they arrived, the Captain would be on the bridge in his uniform. As the crew arrived the Captain was already sitting in his chair. The most interesting part was that his uniform was in peak order.

"Good morning everyone, please take your stations" said the Captain as crew started to arrive.

{Space Dock, Admiral Star's Office}

"MmmHmm, yes...yes, that's great, okay..." said Admiral Charles Star as he cut the transmission and swept the back of his hand across his brow.

"Admiral," his aide interrupted, "We have the USS Eminence, ready to launch, on line 1 and the Bardolonian III Legal Delegation on line 2."

"Excellent, thank you, Lieutenant," replied the Admiral as he pressed the button on his desk for line 2. "Take us out," he said before closing the channel and activating line 1. "We'll see you in intergalactic court!"

The aide smiled. "That was perfect, sir. The Bardolonians definitely got the message."

{USS Eminence, Bridge}

The Captain was not sure what to say about the Admiral's communication; he was supposed to give persmission to get underway. But maybe he had, in his own way.

The Captain then looked over at his XO, "Commander what do you say we inform the crew of our long mission ahead of us and prepare to leave space dock? Do you think we are ready?"

"Well we can leave spacedock graciously, however the question of 'Are we ready' has yet to be answered. Our mission seems simple enough but heading to the farthest reaches of the Beta Quad after 100 years, who knows what we will find," Wolf said.

Hitting a button on his chair the Captain said,

Crew of the USS Eminence, this is your Captain speaking. I am glad to be here with you as we prepare to depart. The purpose of this announcement is to inform you of our mission. We have been assigned to a distant area in the beta quadrant. Here, we have been assigned an area that has not been explored for over 100 years. The information that the Federation has is that there are about 20 planets in this area all part of something called "The Union." Our mission is simple, travel to this distant area and try to make contact with the governments of these plants. If we are fortunate, we can lay plans to expand the Federation. Of course, to reach this area will take months and we will be in that part of space for months after that. So, what does all that mean? It means we will be gone for a while. Along the way, we will also be attempting to fulfill other missions that Starfleet has for us and we will make a stop at Deep Space 89 when we are in range. Crew, I know that we can complete this mission. Prepare to leave space doc in five minutes. That is all."

With that the Captain filliped the switch again and said, "Exec. let us get this show on the road, please."

Tessa Laxwen Smythe, CMO... had quietly made her way onto the Bridge and sat down in the Sciences/Medical area on the Bridge. Pulling up Sickbay system's she monitored her department, and waited for Ship's call to depart Station Keeping. Her Staff watched on monitors in Sickbay. Tessa, nodded and smiled at other Officer's and crew on Bridge...

Looking over at the CMO the Captain asked, "Doctor, is sickbay ready to depart?"

Tessa looked around at the Captain, "Aye Captain, Sickbay is Five by five, all systems Christmas Tree green, we are go for launch." She smiled a little nervous, she rarely spoke when on the Bridge .

"Very well, doctor. That is good to hear" answered the Captain.

Yadira was at her station on the bridge, "Engineering is green across the boards. Impulse and warp are at your disposal," she said quickly.

Wells did not verbal respond but looked up and nodded.

"Helm ready to release docking clamps. Ahead 1/3 impulse to the outter marker. Then engage at warp 6 heading for the Beta Quadrant," Wolf said calmly, as Alaska laid quietly at his feet.

L'ason was at her Tactical Station, getting things ready to roll,and waiting for anything to come her way, when it was time to fire.

As the ship reached the outer maker Wells said, "Let's go helm, you heard the order, warp factor 6, now."

With that the ship headed out into its new adventure.
