Patrol

Posted on Wed Sep 28th, 2011 @ 4:39pm by Lieutenant JG Emily Hamson & Lieutenant JG Martin Cook & Captain Vorn Krace

Mission: The Fate of the Swiftsure
Location: USS Iapetus - Shuttlebay
Timeline: MD08 1300hrs

Emily had reported to the shuttle bay but Lieutenant Cook hadn't arrived yet and she wanted to wait for him before the mission began.

Lieutenant Cook was making his way through the halls towards the shuttlebay when he came to the entrance of the shuttle maintenance section. He looked left, then right before entering. He walked over to the first shuttle and ran his fingers across the nacelle. "I've been looking forward to this," he said quietly smirking to himself as he played thoughts in his mind of his academy days piloting the shuttles around Mars.

Emily saw the Lieutenant and walked over to him.

"Good morning Lieutenant." she said happily.

Martin spun around to see the Chief science officer and smiled as he was surprised to see her so cheerful.

"Well don't you look happy?" He said returning the friendly tone in his voice. "You should keep the mood you've brought with you. I'm sure smile's suit you fine." He smirked as he walked around the back of the shuttle.

"Thank you." she replied but she wasn't sure how to react as people didn't really give her compliments that often.

"Have you got everything you need to head off?" He said, leaning from the opening on the first shuttle.

"Affirmative." she answered "Good luck." she stated.

He nodded, "You too. Hopefully we wont need it." He disappeared into shuttle one with a hiss from the door as it sealed behind him

Emily walked into her shuttle and sat at the drivers seat.

"Computer, open a constant comms channel to other shuttle craft." she ordered.

Martin sat down and heard a 'bleep' from the console. "Ah, spying on me already eh?"

"Yes." she answered and smiled to herself but the smile only lasted for a moment.

Martin smiled and started the take off procedure. Within the space of twenty seconds, the nacelles illuminated and the thrusters gave out a low 'humming' sound.

"Off we go," he said as shuttle one slowly accelerated out of the docking bay, coming around the starboard side of the Iapetus.

He tapped the panel infront of him, "This is Lieutenant Cook, reporting take off from shuttle one."

The assistant ops officer was the individual behind the voice which replied. "Understood, shuttlecraft one. Transmitting patrol route now."

Once the Lieutenant had left the docking bay, Emily tapped the panel in front of her to begin take procedures. Once the shuttle's thrusters were online, she engaged them and left the docking bay.

"This is Lieutenant Hamson, reporting take off." she stated once the comm channel was open.

"Understood, Lieutenant. Patrol route transmission commencing," Biggins replied, as he sent over the patrol route to the second shuttlecraft. "Good hunting, you two."
