Bridge - Deck 1

Michaelangelo went over the Ops console doing the pre-flight tests and ran a diagnostics on the Ops Station, all of which returned with exceptional results. LtCmdr Boffi was pleased to inform Cmdr Kee that all was well with the Ops Station.

Lt. Commander Boffi: Commander Kee, the entire Ops Station reports everything is standing by for usage. As Lieutenant Thomas said, "This baby is ready to rock!"

The Chief Operations Officer checked the ship's crew location system and saw that Alex was in the Briefing Room with Lt. Panettiere. They were probably setting everything up for the meeting he received the message about on his PADD. The Captain charged the Yeoman with informing the Senior Staff about his meeting at 1200 hours. So Alex was lending him a hand to make sure everything was perfect for them.

The Executive Officer was pleased to hear the Ops Station was up and ready to go. James thanked Michaelangelo for quickly taking care of what was asked of him. They worked together on Oriskany, so he was very much aware of LtCmdr Boffi's skills at the Ops Station.

Cmdr Kee: Thank you, Mr. Boffi! I didn't doubt you for a moment. Ops really is your thing and you've proved that aboard Oriskany countless times.

The Commander added LtCmdr Boffi's report to the one he was making for Capt Marino. There were just a few more members of the Senior Staff on the Bridge to hear from and James knew it wouldn't take long at all.

With the pre-launch testing complete and the checks of the Security and Tactical Systems returning favorable results, Jared informed Cmdr Kee that the Sec/Tac Station was ready for launch. They had a full compliment of Photon and Quantum Torpedoes, and all Phaser batteries were tested with successful results.

Lt. Commander D'Shoua: The Security/Tactical Station is ready, Commander. Full compliment of Photon and Quantum Torpedoes delivered, all Phaser batteries were tested and ready. Defensive Systems, such as Shields and Deflector Screens tested successfully as well, Sir.

The Chief Sec/Tac Officer was pleased with the results and the overall layout of the Station where he was assigned. Jared was used to the layout and position of his Station aboard Infiniti and Sutherland's was a little different but easier to handle since it's design wasn't as complex. The Lieutenant Commander was going to enjoy being assigned here.

The Commander was very happy to hear the Weapon and Shield Systems were ready, so he thanked LtCmdr D'Shoua for a job well done. James was aware of Jared's prowess at the Sec/Tac Station aboard Infiniti so he knew the Chief Sec/Tac Officer was in his element here on Sutherland.

Cmdr Kee: Thank you, Mr. D'Shoua! I knew you'd be able to handle the newly designed consoles for Security and Tactical Systems. I've heard all about your fantastic work aboard Infiniti. You're an asset to this mission and to the safety of everyone aboard.

The XO added the information to his report and now there was only one officer left to hear from. James looked over at LtCmdr Joffee and gave him a small nod to indicate that he was ready to hear what the Chief Science Officer had to add to the report the Commander was going to send to Capt Marino in a matter of moments after he got the report from the Science Station.

Michael was just finishing up running the Level 5 diagnostics on all the sensor palettes when he saw the XO look over towards him and give his nod for a report. LtCmdr Joffee did just that, so the Commander could finish his report and transfer it over to the Captain's computer in his Ready Room.

Lt. Commander Joffee: Level 5 diagnostic complete, all sensor palettes are functioning properly, Commander. The Science Station will be ready to scan virtually anything we come across while we're out there, Sir.

The Chief Science Officer was pleased to give the XO a completely successful report on the Science Station. This brought them even closer to launching on time since it was just a few minutes before 0800. Michael figured the Captain would be very happy to hear that all the stations on the Bridge reported in with their status showing: READY

James was thrilled to get the report of the Science Station's readiness, he thanked LtCmdr Joffee for getting the task done in an efficient amount of time. Now the pre-flight testing and systems checking was complete.

Cmdr Kee: Thank you, Mr. Joffee! You all did a great job getting the pre-flight testing and systems checking done in an efficient manner! Now, I'll send my report to the Captain and we should be seeing him very shortly.

The XO completed his status report for the Captain and sent it off to his terminal located on the desk in his Ready Room. James added a note that they were ready for Capt Marino as soon as he was done with the report. All stations were standing by for his commands.
