[Cargo Bay 2, USS Chimera]
Sergeant Drake (NPC) was in cargo bay 2 watching the new stealth
equipment being brought in Drake was instructed by Lt Vaughn to stay
with the equipment until Major Xerxes and Lt Gustav arrived. And then
help out with anything they needed tapping her combadge she contacted
them both at the same time, "Major and Lt this is Sgt Drake
Quartermaster I have some equipment that you two might want to see."
Drake said signing off on the equipment delivery.
***
Gustav was in the middle of a warp core diagnostic when his Comm badge
went off, he knew that it would take another hour at least before the
diagnostic would be complete so he ordered one of his engineers to
monitor the real time results for him and went to find out what drake
was talking about.
***
Anya and Scott were in the middle of a heated discussion over the
weapons supply logistics for the Squadron of M-35A's and how much each
requisition would cost when Drake's message arrived. "Is that the
equipment for attaching the stealth plating to the hull Major?" Anya
asked.
Scott nodded "Quite likely. I requested a few other items as well,
but as to how much Central Command has acceded to is anyone's guess.
I think we should take a look at what has arrived don't you?"
"May as well. I hope to hell they've improved the reliability of that
Stealth Resonance Armour since the last time I saw a test..." Anya cringed
at the memory.
***
"Is this it?" Anya asked Drake as she and Walters arrived.
"Yes it is Major we just need you to type in the code so we can open
the crates and start attaching it to the Chimera." Drake said using
her fingers to point where she wanted the crates to be put. "We're
just waiting on some workerbees to come on over to help get the plates
on the outside of the Chimera." Drake added.
Gustav walked into cargo bay 2 and found some storage containers and
both Major Xerxes and Sgt Drake talking, walking up to the both of
them Gustav said "Reporting as requested Sgt, what can I help you
with".
"You can start with an introduction Leftenant and to think the Federation
considers the Alliance to be uncivilized!" Scott said loudly.
Anya took the padd from Sergeant Drake and typed her Erassian General Access
Code into the padd. The code was recognized and the containers were unlocked.
"Major Walters I present Sergeant Vera Drake, Chimera's QM and Leftenant Gustav
Kroitzer, Chimera's Chief Engineer. Sergeant, Leftenant this is Major Scott
Walters our new XO and the guy you get to work with to stick the
Resonance Armour
on the hull. Remember to salute him and you'll get on fine...now if you'll
excuse me I have to start prepping my Wing for the mission ahead." As
she walked
out the door she gave a wave without looking back. "Have fun!"
"And now we're all alone..." Scott said with a dark smile.
"Major." Drake said saluting the high ranking Erassian officer,
"excuse me I need to
speak with the captains of the workerbees so we can get going on this
project." Vera
said walking over to a console and opening a link to the USS Venus (workerbee).
"Greetings Captain we're getting ready to start installing the armour
if you could dock
we can start loading the workerbee up with men and the equipment
they'll need." Vera
said.
"Roger that Sgt." The Captain said as he started making the final
adjustments to dock
on the Chimera. "Major the USS Venus is making final preparations to
dock and then
we can start loading things up and start installing it." Vera said.
"Well if only it was as simple as merely sticking the armour plate
onto the hull, each
plate has to have a hard connection to the power grid and then has to
be precisely
calibrated to ensure that it works correctly. It may take the
Operations and Engineering
Departments a few all-nighters but if you do this correctly the enemy
won't detect us
until it's far too late."
