Helm, plot a course to the Ragnar, prepare to take us away from dock at 1/4 impulse and engage at maximum warp.” He settled into the command chair. =/\= “Attention all hands,” he announced, “We are preparing to leave spacedock. Please secure your belongings and take your stations.” =/\=

“Clearance obtained, sir,” NE Olson at Ops reported. Here we go.

“Disengage docking clamps. Helm, 1/4 impulse on my mark,” he paused, “and mark. Take us to the edge of the system and engage.”
