[USS Chimera] SD 240811.22 | USS Chimera | Duty Log, Cmdr Ohmsford (1TF Sci)

= USS Chimera - Main Bridge =

Bren was still on the bridge when his combadge chirruped again. "Ohmsford here," he said, tapping the badge.

"Commander, you have an incoming transmission from Starbase Unity," the voice of one of the communications officers from the Omega Shipyards said. "It's from Captain Rojac."
 
"Send it through, please," Bren replied as he turned to the Tactical Console. "Now is as good a time as any to see if the viewer's working properly," he muttered to himself as he rerouted the communication to the main viewer.
 
The screen flickered, and shifted form the First Taskforce logo to that of Rojac's familiar, bearded face. "Hello old friend." Rojac greeted his former Commanding Officer. "What are you doing to MY ship?"
 
"Rojac," Bren greeted the Chimera's captain with a broad grin. He walked closer to the viewer so that Rojac could see him more clearly. He crossed his arms and stared comically at the screen. "Who says she's your ship. If I recall, I'm the only Chimera CO so far who hasn't lost a ship."

"You better knock on wood, Bren." Rojac replied. "You still have to make the trip here."

Bren just laughed. "It's good to see you too. How do you like your new bridge?" He stepped to one side a little so that Rojac could more clearly survey the Chimera-C's bridge.

"Efficient." Rojac nodded approvingly. "I like the silver. Reminds me of how they used to be. Is it all operational yet?"

"All primary systems are online," Bren replied. "They're not as efficient yet as I'd like them to be, but we were rushed into post-production so Mr Kroizter will have to tweak them while underway."

"Last report had the warp drive maxing out at warp four. Has Mr. Kroitzer improved that any yet?" Rojac asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact," Bren replied with a nod. "You have a very smart young engineer there, Cropa. You caught us just before a warp flight test, actually. We're even running ahead of schedule. Imagine that... not something you hear often in Starfleet."

"No. Not often." Rojac gave a sullen grin. "Rick must have trained him well..."

"If all goes well we should have her for you by early next week," Bren said, confident that they would make their launch date.

Rojac tried to cheer himself up, and grinned back up at the screen. "I'll provide the champagne. Early next week then."

"It's a date," Bren grinned. "I'll let you know how the warp flight test went and send it to you with my latest report."

"Very well, boss." Rojac gave a mock salute, touching his right brow with a stiff right hand. "Rojac out."
