“Thank you Ensign. Cadet Stadi, please concentrate on getting our shields back online. I shall let the Captain know of our current status.”

“Understood sir.” Dael replied, turning back to NE Michellson. “Let’s focus on getting the shields back up to full power, then worry about the graviton field. With any luck we won’t have to worry about shields holding at full once we get them there, but those power relays will need work immediately if we do. Plus I’d rather have the teams working on those structural integrity fields anyway…” He looked over at the team that Lt. Sapeth had given him. “Okay, NE Larsson and NE Rogers to the secondary arrays, I’ll go take a look at what’s jamming up the main array. Coordinate your efforts through this station with NE Mitchellson, let’s try and take care of this as much as we can and show the Chief he can take care of more important things while we’re on the job.” Dael grabbed his toolkit and looked back over the team. Just breathe Dael, they want to do a good as much job as you do. “Alright, when you’re done, go help with the graviton relays if the SIF repairs aren’t done… Aaaaaand break.”

As the NE’s began to go to their appointed stations, Dael breathed a sigh of relief at not being the center of attention anymore. Just have to focus on repairs now he thought, adjusting the grip on his toolkit handle as he worked out his nerves.

=^= Sapeth to the bridge. Repairs are underway. Current estimate we will have have the secondary shield arrays back online in about 15-20 minutes, and full shields restored in approximately one hour. Warp drive will be available in approximately 2 hours. However, we also took damage to the graviton field generators and the structural integrity field generators on decks 12 and 14. Right now we are looking at approximately 12 hours before those systems are functional again. =^=

=/\= Thank you for the update, Lieutenant. Please send Cadet Stadi to the Bridge. We require a liaison with engineering to ensure that we can safely attempt to communicate with venting warp plasma and his telepathy may come in handy. =/\=

Sapeth paused. If he wasn’t a Vulcan he would have definitely sighed. Of course the Captain was requiring one of his senior cadets to be on the bridge, instead of actually doing critical repairs to the ship.

=^= Of course Captain. Engineering out. =^=

Dael was nearly out of the Engineering deck and he heard the Captain’s response. He stopped in his tracks. His stomach dropped. Oh boy…ooooooh boy. Requested to the bridge? Me? On the bridge? In the middle of things? He suddenly had the wish to be down in waste extraction, changing a hard to reach relay covered in unprocessed junk rather than be right where he was. He turned and slowly made his way back to where his Chief was standing. “On my way to the bridge then sir?” he asked, setting down his toolkit, trying to absorb what calming mental states might be nearby into his own head. Just focus on the problem, something about venting warp plasma, that could be interesting. Never mind needing your telepathy, or being surrounded by the senior staff in the middle of it all, the fact that you might be essential to this.... Warp plasma, focus on warp plasma…

OOC: Don’t forget to sign your post. :-D

“Indeed Cadet,” Sapeth said as he turned towards the Stadi who had stopped just inside the door. “And Cadet Stadi, try and keep the Captain from causing any further damage to the ship.”

Turning back to engineering as a form of dismissal, Sapeth looked towards Torres.

“Cadet Torres. I will complete the tasks involving the warp engines. Take over for Cadet Stadi on the shield repairs.”

Looking over at the list of ongoing repairs, Sapeth honed in on the warp core and started looking at what repairs were currently ongoing.

Lt Sapeth - CE

Torres looked at Sapeth

“Alright sir do you need me to do or help with anything?”

Cadet Torres

NE Michellson looked aside to Torres and stepped forward to guide the cadet towards the shield control panel. “I need your help over here, Cadet.”

Reaching the panel he looked up and winked at Sapeth ever so subtilty before looking down at the panel and pointing at some of the diagrams for Torres. “Here. I think this conduit is broken. See how the power readings to the aft junction is lopsided? Problem is I don’t think I can see what would have caused that. What do you think?”
