Dawson stood next to Kastarak, bracing himself at a nearby rail. He was watching over Valharra’s shoulder at the Tactical screen, the feeling of unease still with him. When they were out of the Solar System, he’d want to get some training in to burn off this excess energy. Perhaps he’d invite Valharra to spar with him.

Lt, Q Dawson, CWO

“Aye sir” as he started the maneuvers to get out of the gravity well of Saturn. Pawl calmly kept alert for any surprises. “we’re clearing the gravity well sir! Prepping for warp.” Pawl added quickly. As he placed his hand on the warp controller.

“Very well. Punch it Mr. Batario.”

Captain Chris Taggart, CO

“Aye sir.” Pawl said calmly as he pushed the warp controller up as it moved the ship slowly slid into “warp 1, warp 2, warp 3, warp 4, warp 5, warp 6.” as he stopped moving the controller. “we are now ar warp 6 on course sir!” Pawl said calmly.

All went well. The ship was out flying, minutes later they were out in interstellar space. Everything was quiet.

“Thank you, Mr Batario,” Kastarak said. Pawl had steered them to safer waters… Kastarak was grateful.

Kastarak, Lt Cdr
First Officer and Navigations Officer

“Excellent Mr. Batario. Set a course for the rendouvs location please and inform the Constitution of our arrival time.”

Captain Chris Taggart, CO

“Aye sir! Setting the course now.” Pawl said calmly to the officer. “The constitution was notified of our arrival time. Sir.” Pawl said with a small smile.

Lt. Valharra sat at the tactical station, shifting his eyes between the controls at the tactical station, and the viewscreen, watching the blur of the stars as we flew by.
Lt. Valharra, Security.

After a few hours The Chernov and Constitution arrived safely at their destination.

Chris looked at Dawson. “Signal the Constitution and tell them they can safely beam aboard in an hour.”. Turning to look at Pawl. “I want you t to go to Engineering and do one more check on all the Romulan tech and then if it’s good to go, I want you to activate the cloak and see if the the Constitution can detect us. Move around them periodically so as they have to scan and look hard for us. I want to be sure this all works before we enter Klingon space.”

“Aye, sir!” Pawl said calmly as he moved to the lift as the doors opened. As he entered and grabbed the handle. “Engineering.” Pawl spoke moments later the lift doors closed as it headed to its destination.

Getting ready to sit back down here stood back up as in an after thought. “Mr. Dawson. When don’t please make sure everyone and I mean everyone is armed. And I want all of security to be double armed with rifles and phasers. That includes any augmentees you’ve trained as security as well.”. He than took a seat in the center chair.

Dawson raised an eyebrow at the captain’s order but gave an affirmative nod, “Aye sir, I’ll have it done immediately.” He leaned in to Valharra to tell him to see to it. “I’ll take over Tactical on the bridge while you get the team armed.” Then he turned to Taggart and asked, “Any reason for the raise in security sir? Should we be on yellow alert?”

Lt. Q Dawson, CWO

“Yes of course we should. I don’t know why I forgot that.” Chris kicked himself inwardly for forgetting a simple protocol. “Computer. Yellow Alert and on silent. And when we get under way into Klingon space, I want all of us to be protected. I don’t want to get boarded with our pants down. Does that help?”. He liked Dawson. A very capable man and trustworthy. Someone he can count on. He’ll go very far in this business.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

“Understood sir,” Dawson said taking over tactical from Valharra and setting the ship to silent yellow alert. A hand drifted mindlessly towards the hilt of the KaBar blade he always kept on his left hip. Phaser on the right, knife on the left. He’d gotten into the habit on one of his early assignments, after a particular mission where his phaser had been rendered useless by an energy pulse and he had been left almost defenseless. From then on, he made sure to keep a weapon on him that couldn’t be so easily inhibited. Noticing the gesture, he was suddenly reminded of the dinner with Malone, where the man had gotten to be so belligerent that Dawson had instinctually grabbed at his left side, and found the knife missing. He mused on the idea of finding a way to add a ceremonial knife to his dress uniform.

Pawl heard the change from green alert to yellow then there were no other warnings from the computer as the lift made it to engineering. Pawl sighed softly as the doors opened and he made his way to the main part of engineering. As he moved over to the console and he activated the cloaking system as the lights dimmed a bit as the new systems got familiar with the new connections and backup fusion generators came online to compensate for the pull of the cloaking device So far all systems were still showing green nothing seemed to falter or error out as he checked on arming the defensive systems. Pawl looked over several system displays to confirm all things were still working. =^= Bridge this is engineering all seems to be fine with the cloaking system and the defensive systems seem to be working as well.” Pawl said calmly

Chris smiled at that and pressed the toggle switch on his chair. [O] Roger that. Excellent work Lieutenant! Now cloak us and we’ll wait for the Constitution to notice. We should be able to talk to them without them seeing us correct? If not still cloak us. [O]

Captain Chris Taggart CO

‘You should be able to talk to them sir it will show a vague direction but not an actual pinpoint.”Pawl clarified the answer to the officer. “you are correct.”

[[Lt_Jg ]] [[Pawl Batario]]
[[Chief_Engineer]] [[Uss_Chernov]]

[O] Awesome! Let’s do it! [O] Chris replied to Pawl as he leaned forward in his chair waiting for the comms to go crazy from the Constitution. “Comms. Get ready!”.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Dawson smiled to himself thinking how Pawl was able to give them limited weapon use while cloaked. He thought how much that would rankle the Klingons and Romulans, perpetually vexed by this fundamental flaw in their systems, that the Chernov Chief Engineer seemed to solve in his first attempt. Should they run into any Klingons, they’ll be in for one hell of a surprise.

Lt. Valharra got on the turbolift. “Security” He stated to the computer and the turbolift came to life sending him down to the armory. When he got there, he went into the armory and started handing out phasers and rifles to the security staff, and then had them assist him in setting up giving out phasers to the rest of the ship. He tapped his combadge and stated, =^=”Lt. Dawson, we are set down here to hand out the phasers to the ship as requested, Sir.” =^=
