Alex was helping with Power distributing and was getting good at it afew of the Others were giving him praises for his work. So he requested to be Assigned there more and the other officers like him there.

((turning this to main sim thread))

Bridie came into Engineering and looked around. “Blaze! Perfect. Come here. I need you to work on this console,” she pointed to the one closest to the warp core. “We have basic thrusters but no warp capability. I need you to run a full diagnostic and see what we have. Then we have to find a way to bypass it. Can you manage the diagnostic?” She smiled and nodded having faith in his abilities. He just needed direction.

Blaze finished on what he was working on and went over to the consul. He tried to access the system and ran the diagnostic.

(what did the diagnostic show)

Ensign Alex Blaze (Engineer)

Diagnostics showed that the warp drive had been put on effective “low power mode.” Propulsion was locked out and the core functioned only as a power source to keep the ship alive.

She heard the chirp of the computer and Bridie looked up from where she was going over the logs to see if she could find the command that had shut them down. “What’s the diagnosis, Blaze? She gonna live?” The Chief laughed knowing the ship would live, but wondering what the computer had come up with.

Blaze closed his eyes to think “so the diagnosis is the warp is in low power mode with Propulsion was locked out and the core functioned only as a power source.....the problem is the reason why propulsion is locked out I am thinking I can write a bypass to allow us to use the warp dive but the overall power problem I have been working the power station for a week we never lowered the power to the core or drive.......I think we have a Leak” he said as he opened his eyes

She smiled and nodded. “I applaud the idea, but we can’t just write a program to circumvent the running of the ship. Wish it were so. But we need to find a way to figure why the switch was flipped and how to flip it back. So,” she moved up to the other side of the console. “Try and see if you can find a reroute to the propulsion system. We can’t hit ‘warp’ or ‘impulse’, but perhaps we can use something else. Something that will ‘push’ the ship forward in power enough that it will power up on its own.” She wasn’t sure it was possible but they had to try.

“Meanwhile I will see what I can do about the warp core. If it’s in low power mode then maybe I can finagle a couple things and slowly bring the power up on that end till it kicks back on.” She set to work trying to find a way to back track the commands that put it in low power mode. If she could find the spot the commands began, maybe, step by step, she could insert a counter command so when the system was reset, it would follow the commands given, but also the counters so it would return to normal at the end of the cycle.
