After the meeting with the Quartermaster Jade walked onto
the bridge and over to main ops where Dexter was, "Lt
how's the work progressing on the power outputs of the
point defense program on the phaser arrays?" Jade said.
Dexter sighed: "Not very well, ma'am. We've discovered some
weak spots in the algorithm and now are trying to get around
them. But I think we shall deal with the program within 4
hours" he replied and rubbed his tired eyes.
Nodding, "alright good work look forward to reading your
report." Jade said glad they were able to figure out the
issues with the defense program.
Nodding, Dexter replied: "Thank you, ma'am. A friend in
Engineering mentioned that they are going to install a
dedicated computer core for this program, is that true?"
"Um yea I believe they're working on it right now." Jade
said, "Anything else that I need to know?" Jade asked
knowing while meeting with other people allows some stuff to
happen without her knowing.
Dexter shook his head: "Nothing major, ma'am. Just the
usual problems with a new ship just after the shake-down
cruise". Dexter has been already three times on a ship
from her very beginning and knew what to expect. Chimera-C
was no exception.
Jade nodded, "understood if you don't mind could you send me
that report to my office and I can get some teams to work on
them" Jade said nodding to a few officers as they walked by
and onto the turbolift.
"It's just that there was no time to optimize power
distribution pathways and we get frequently requests about
having too less or too much energy for certain systems.
Lavatory, showers, replicators for internal furniture, gyms
and leisure rooms … you know that trade, they have
'problems to raise the temperature' or 'moisture
level' and such"
"Alright I'll have Vaughn take a look at that and also have
some small teams go to each department to get some more
information about the power distribution and then I'll work
on a plan to try and resolve it before our next mission."
Jade said glad that the shakedown mission was short with a
minor confrontation.
"Any worries about the new personnel we received when we
left UNITY?" Jade asking not been able to speak to every ops
personnel and he was hoping that Dexter or the other senior
officers in ops have.
"Well … when you mention it, there really is a problem
with some of the new crew. I know that it is war and
personnel is needed everywhere, but a lot of the new NCOs
are just 18 years old chaps and gals fresh out the boot camp
… having little to none experience with certain systems.
Sure, they know the basics, but not all those advanced
setting. That alone is no big problem … but when they
start 'exploring the possibilities' …
"We may need to start a training course or class room
teachings to teach these new NCO's." Jade said thinking
that's going to be her secondary goal is to get these
younger recruits up to speed on the programs and things they
can do and cannot do. "Thank you Lt once you're done with
your shift I want you on shore leave you've deserved it."
Jade said smiling.
Dexter smiled back: "Thank you, ma'am" he replied. It
was quite a new feeling that his superiors were pleased with
his performance.
