It had been a hectic two weeks. The Curie’s new engines performed well in their tests a few days earlier, but Chief Engineer Garay still wanted more time to run simulations and tests.

As Ander had pointed out to the Captain, a stationary run of the engines was excellent for collecting static data. But once they were underway things would become much more complicated. He had several concerns with the geometry of the warpfield, as the Curie’s hull was designed to an older standard. The ship’s new engines were designed for use with a more angular hullform that optimised engine efficiency and reduced subspace shearing. Ander had still insisted on the installation of an off-axis field controller in each nacelle, hoping it would allow them to better manipulate the warpfield and allow them to adjust for the Curie’s flight tolerances.

All Department Heads had surveyed their departments and had given a green light to launch. Before they would leave the safe confines of the dry dock, Jessip wanted to get a final go/no-go from this Bridge crew before they would depart. After that he planned to address the crew and explain their mission.

With most of the engineering staff needed at their posts, Ander had assigned NE Shanda to serve as a lisason with the bridge. She was manning the bridge engineering station and maintaining an open channel with engineering.
“Air equalization automatic on. Gravitation to automatic. Running lights are on.” All of the ship’s systems appeared to be functioning and all of her status indicators were showing green.
=/\= Engineering is a go, =/\= Ander’s voice said over the channel. Shanda turned to the Captain,
“Engineering is go,” she said with a nod before returning her attention to her station.

Over the last two weeks she had been getting sickbay set up how she liked it, and it being functional for her to use in an emergency situation. She had come to the bridge herself to deliver the message. She looked over at them and went for the moment to get final say from environmental inputs before saying to the others, “Medical is go. Let’s see what she can do.” She went back to the controls to check on other things, falling silent.
