Bridge =SD=2101.95= As you all arrive aboard, about 2102.95, Admiral Carnavin calls the ship. "Ah, Mr. Alizarin, Good. Remember, Trophies are best when alive. Moreso my underlings. Orders for a new crewman, who should be aboard by now, one Ensign Thomas O'Reilly, Command Specialist, will be transmitted shortly. The known Videni space is still off limits... but feel free to lead them on a snipe hunt if they come out. The CSS Aleutian Islands is suposed to be patrolling the border, from waypoints 0009 to 0410, and the CSS Coral Sea from 0410 to 0609, in case you need backup. I expect to hear from you in 15 days. In Person. Good Hunting."

RJ, or rather Ensign Thomas Reilly, had already boarded the ship and had been shown to his bunk. After settling in and taking a shower, he was ready to report for his first bridge ship at the navigational controls.

Lt. Alex Grayson
Twitching, fumbling with the collar with the extra pips on, Grayson stumbles aboard, his head still spinning from the previous evenings excess. "Ah've no idea what was in that Yur Reen de la Equine drink, but it shore as hell tasted like horse piss." he grumbled. "An ah should know."
He looked about, around, at the ship. "Looks all fixed up. Nice. We'd best go smash th' darn thing up again."
Whistling as he makes his way through the corridors, he cheerfully greets anyone he comes across and dumps his stuff in his old room before heading to the bridge.
If he's the first one there, he tries the Captains chair on for size, whirls about a bit, then hollers "Open fire! Ah ain't innerested in that they're dee plomacy, y'hear? How about ya try this version o dee plomacy on fer size, huh? Bend over, here it comes! Woot!"
With a sigh, he rubs the chair arms, then stands to move over to the security station. "Be ah while fore ah'm ready fer that chair. Like a thousand years..." Then he starts to run system diagnostics and checks the crew manifest.

Once Jasper has confirmed via the computer that all the crew members are on board the C.S.S. Thermopylae, Jasper enters the Bridge with a smile. The blue-furred Andromedan Captain was in good spirits and was stepping lightly. Once he enters the Bridge he walks over to the Captain's chair and sits down.
As he sits down, he says in a good-natured tone, "good morning, everyone. Welcome aboard the Thermopylae, Mr. Reilly. Glad to have you on the crew."
Turning to face the Engineering Station, Jasper smiles and says, "and I'm sure that Mr. Vork is glad to have you aboard as well. He can now devote his attention to the Engineering Station instead of playing ship's Pilot in addition to his engineering duties."
Turning back to Mr. Reilly, Jasper says in a more formal tone, "Mr. Reilly, please take us out of dock and proceed with the Mission Plan's course and speed."

When the Captain walks in and addreses him, RJ rises and stands at attention facing him. "Thank you Captain, sir. It's an honor to serve on the Thermopylae. Glad I can help Mr. Vork return to his preferred duties."
He then returns to his chair, and starts starts maneuvers to undock.
OOC: Should I roll in the actions thread?

Jasper smiles and nods in response to Mr. Reilly's comment, and then looks over at Mr. Vork's station for a moment.
He turns and looks over at Alex and says with a casual chuckle, "so, we're not considered 'Green' anymore, eh, Mr. Grayson?"

Magnus: no game mechanics in the narrative thread. As a convenience, we are referring to hexes by "waypoint" numbers. All mechanical stuff goes in actions. "I'm gonna be AFK for 3 days" goes in chatter, please.
Vork Vork, finally back where he feels comfortable, contacts the bridge, "Engineering reporting ready. New drive regulators working, ZPE cells at 50 units. Moorings have been released. Nuclear drive online, Warp drive warming up. And, Sir? Thank HQ for sending a real shipdriver!"

Once the sensor detect the radiation storm in the direct path of their course, Jasper says, "Mr. Reilly, please change the heading to Waypoint 0308 to avoid the upcoming radiation storm. Once in Waypont 0308, change the heading to Waypoint 0309."

"Accounting for the storm; adjusting heading sir." RJ replies, and does so.

Lt Grayson, Security Chief
"Green Cap'n? Heck, ah'm always gonna be green behind th' gills on one o these things, you know that. Ah love me some solid ground on which ta walk an fall on. Out here, ah kinda get th' idea ah'd fall fer ever if ah take a wrong turn." smiled Grayson, wheeling in his chair, checking his station, then standing to move behind and to the Captains' left, hands behind his back and slightly to attention.
"That said, ah guess ah'd better start acting ma rank." he admitted, glancing at the pips.
=SD=2103.095= Two starships detected near waypoint 0410.
Grayson moved to overlook the scanner station, then turned to the viewscreen. "Two ships detected. Orders sir?" he drawled.

RJ perks up at Grayson's news, and is ready for evasive maneuvers if needed.

Jasper says, "let's get a sensor scan and get some more information about those ships."

Jaspar's scan results in noting the ships are both apparently Valley Forge class Confed destroyers, and their courses match the Admiral's information on the border patrol ships. While scanning, both contacts proceed to warp on their present courses at Warp 4.

After reviewing the Sensor data, Jasper looks up and says to bridge crew, "it appears that those bogeys are the C.S.S. Aleutian Islands and the C.S.S. Coral Sea on regular patrol."
Jasper logs the Sensor data on the contact, and then looks up and says, "contact has been logged, and we'll maintain current heading and speed. It's good to know that they're out there though."
