ON:

Full of hope that everything would go smoothly today Taliserra walked into Engineering accompanied by Lt Binea from operations. "So Lieutenant." Taliserra called out seeing him stood nearby. "Are we ready to go?"

Navore stood by the Main Control Panel the green lights were where they should be mixed with yellow for those systems that were ready to go but not called for as yet. The echoes of the vaied systems was like a type of working symphony of alerts and confirmations to Navore; this is how his section should sound and above it all was the woman that commanded the ship.

"I think we can cut the lines of support."He had the Warp Core thrumming in a low purr of standing in wait to begin her massive beats to fully power the ship.

"Give the word and all you will have is..." He pointed to the warp core. "her heartbeat and non of those nasty life support power lines needed."

"Good." Taliserra said, she stepped up close to the warp core, resting her hands on the barrier around it. She listened silently to the low thrum of the ships heart for a few moments. "Fire her up Lieutenant."

"Lighting up the fires ma'am."Navore turned and called out. "Light them up." He smiled.

The thrum of the warp core; a nice background noise before was taking on a more dominant and thuddering tone as one could almost feel the power coursing from it, the eletrostatic charge in the air to a degree. The voices chattering acceptance of the orders and verifying.

"Fusion reactor coming to speed." A voice was above the den of voices.

"Impulse engines warming to tempature, ten seconds to ignition." THe opposite side of Engineering called.

"Warp Core at forty percent and rising." Navore was calm in his adding status to all the voices bouncing as the heartbeat of the ship increased; the Warp Core flashed faster and faster with each passing of the lights from bottom to top. "Cut the cables loose." He commanded. "Core at sixty percent and rising."

The lights were moving along at a higher tempo.

"Warp Drive ignition sequence." Navore had the Master console looking like a musical instrument as his hands and fingers danced along it. "Converting from cold to stand by sequences." He glanced over to wink at the two ladies. "Now yo get to see the fun part." He told them.

The deck began to vibrate a little; the steady whir of the Generators adding to it while the flashing thrumb of the warp core was coming to what can be described as a musical crecendo.

Then it all made one final unified note of voice bafoer ... subtle like the sound of the bridge. Each system blending with the next to form a single low key aria of sound that could almost be relaxing.

"We are on internal power." He glanced at his screens. "Impulse and warp drives are warming up and by the time you give the word you can know we will answer all bells ma'am."

"Good, Binea." Taliserra turned to the Andorian. "Contact starbase 54's dock master, tell them we're ready to switch to full internal power and sevre the power umbilical."

"Understood." Binea turned and walked a few paces away to one of the consoles. A few moments later she turned back. "They're ready."

Taliserra looked at both officers. "Begin the seperation."

Navore started pressing a few bits of the console as sveral green lights came to life replacing the yellow of stand by. There were a few changed in the pitch of the engineering harmony as others sang out to evetually blend back to the operating tones.

"That is not good." Navore tapped a small red button just as a warning klaxon sounded. The panel blinked off then back on a second later beginning a flashing sequence. "Damn feed back!' Navore cursed. "Route the spike into the weapons EPS, we can drain it off there." HE barked orders. "Tell them to blow the bolts." It was a calm but elevated toned order. "Damn work connectors.

The blinking screen solidified as the various crew members were jumping to ready stations and making the adjustments. The Klaxons subsided nearly as fast as they had began.

"That is more like it." He glanced to the Captain. "Seems the docking connections did not want to let go we had a minor feed back but nothing we could not handle." He explained. "The connectors are used over and over; hence were worn and my guess is the inspections were to be after our departure but they were bent or slightly damaged enough to be difficult to connect but not bad enough to make a problem calling for a replacement... until we got through with them that is." He sighed. "Now we are on the full internals and the engines are warming up to purr stage ma'am."

"So far so good, just a little drama to keep everyone on their toes." Taliserra said, she had gotten a little worried when the klaxons sounded hoping that it wasn't going to be too bad.

"No one gets a perfect first impression, well I am not sure about Montgomery Scott but legends are not to be questioned." He smiled. "At least the lights did not go out I suppose." Navore was relieved himself. "But officially she is at your beck and call Captain."

"Good, run every test you can and need to while we are docked, both of you." She looked at both officers again. "And give your reports to Commander Anette."

"Understood." Binea said.

"You are the Captain." Navore said simply. "Thanks for permission to really see what is going on here ma'am."

"Get used to it Lieutenant, you are going to be in here a lot." Taliserra said, with everything now going smoothly she started to head towards the door. "Any problems, let me or the Xo know immediately, I do not want to have to return to base for repairs for a long time."

"I'll get you where you want to go but if the paint is scratched or the hull banged up I am not to blame I just make the ship go." Navore commented with a smile. "Dents are blamed on Helm from my experience ma'am."
