Zarlena was sitting at the station when the Colonel entered. She stood at attention, then sat down once he was seated with his coffee. She smiled when she heard where they would be heading. Gamma Hromi had a one of the best comprehensive testing facilities.
She continued to fuss over her console and speak to the related departments she was in charge of. This launch would go without a hitch. She looked over the last of the diagnostics she would run. Smiling as she finished reading the report.
Zarlena began to write her report. Not that there was anything to say. Except all systems ready and green. Full efficiency. Dorius softly laughed as she remember what she said to Kas in Five Forward. And now Zar knew she won the bet, a second reason to smile.
But as the minutes passed the usual pre-launch jitters began. The worse time was launch and docking. In the academy, when Zar, asked if her jitters were normal, they said a good pilot will always be slightly anxious at this time. Especially with a new ship that has not been in a shakedown.
Colonel Allen, helm and all related departments are at full efficiency and green. Waiting for your orders sir.

Amy was up almost all night studying Andorian physiology and common illnesses they were susceptible too.She was glad they were not many.
In fact she was amazed at how resistant they were.They were also strong and very intelligent.she found references to their antennae.
They were sketchy but they were defiantly some how in tune with their moods and thought processes.She snapped back from her studies when she heard the Colonel's announcement.
Looking at the time she hurried off to Sick Bay.Entering she smiled,"Sorry I am late I was up all night studying our Andorians."
She handed out Data PADDs on what she had."so did I miss anything exiting?"

Kasia smiles as she takes the padd and looks the information over. "Well Lt. Chuck Norris came in, he had an accident in his quarters when the gravity controls misfunctioned. Other then that nothing too exciting."

He nodded when he heard Captain Dorius give him a report.He looked over directly at her a slight smile on his face."Helm release docking clamps,engage thrusters."
Once clear of the station take us to one half impulse for 30 minutes.Then go to warp 6.7,this should give Mr. Kinsley time to check out how the engines are doing as well as letting everyone give their stations a proper run through."
He stopped for a second,"Heading Gamma Hromi Captain.Thomas had read enough about Captain Dorius to know she knew the heading better than anyone on the ship.
"Once we are in warp please give me an ETA.Oh yes Captain Dorius please don't scratch the paint your cousin will kill us both."
He could not help but chuckle at the last comment,"All stations please give me a report once we are underway."
He looked over at Jaylas anything you would like to add?."Thomas could barely keep his excitement under check,The Tarawa their ship was finally underway.

Morgan had just entered the marine training area when she heard the Colonel's announcement.She had orders from the MCO to introduce herself and she would do just that.
She walked onto the deck,"MARINES ATTENTION."She waited for them to form up into ranks,inward she was pleased but she did not show it.
"Next time ladies think we can speed it up?I am 2nd LT. Morgan Conner your new MXO.I am from Miami a city on Earth in the southern part of North America."
She walked up and down the ranks as she spoke,"You will find me fair but tough.I have looked over you records and I must admit I am impressed."
"That does not mean we cannot get better.In fact I want us to be the shining jewel during these exercises.I want our valor and superb training to be the thing the Colonel remembers."
She stopped and checked a marine privates weapon,"We will train hard,fight hard and play hard.We are one unit and we will act as so.When it hits the fan we must depend on each other."
Morgan let her words sink in,"Any questions?"

Kelly was walking toward the Hangar bay when he heard the launch announcement.He hurried down the large corridor made the left hand turn and entered.He saw Akoval was already there.
keeping his usual smile,"Hello Akoval I hope the specs on the fighters helped.I am glad we are underway,we can get some real training time in."
"One things for sure,we are going to have to work hard on our close support of the ground units."
He waited to see if his friend had anything to add.

She was on duty in the labs for awhile, having gotten completely engrossed in a chemistry experiment. When she finally noticed the time after she had collected the data she was gathering, she was surprised at how long she had been on duty.
She carefully disposed of the waste products and stored the chemicals she had mixed and the reagents she hadn't needed. She turned off the fume hood she had been using and cleaned up the area, then removed her gloves and goggles. Other science personel were assisting with the cleanup as well, so she let them continue with their work and she went back to her quarters to relax a bit and get ready for the evening.

Amy smiled as she listened to Kasai give her report on poor Lt. Norris."Well it could have been a lot worse I suppose."
She glanced around Sick bay impressed with the way Kasai had it already set up.Everything she needed was well within reach and placed in the proper order as needed.
"Since we are shipping out we need to expect simulated injuries many very serious.Lets get a triage plan in affect shall we?"
She smiled as she looked at the two.

Kol"rah could feel his hearts beat faster as this LT. Conner spoke.She was small but very passionate in her words.He hoped she backed her words with actions.
He looked her in her eyes when she walked past him.If he could judge a Terran then her words where true,and her actions would soon follow.
He controlled his urge to shout after she continued to talk.He stood tall and proud after her speech he had no questions.

Justin heard the doors open and see Patrick coming into engineering, still in his pajamas. He gave a small smirk before speaking. “Forgetting your uniform, Lt?”, he said to him. “I do have everything uncontrolled here in engineering for now. You can come back here in 30 minutes and be sure to be in uniform this time.”, he continued to say to him.
Justin eyed a few of the passing NPC engineers and watched them quickly changed their demeanor. Once the NPC engineers quickly went about their duties, he looked back at Patrick. He remembered the first time being assistant engineer and how stressful it was trying to impress the Chief Engineer.
While Justin waited to hear Patrick’s response, he heard Colonel Allen's announcement about going to Gamma Hromi, a Starfleet Training grounds. Starfleet has more training grounds than he can count on his fingers. Without those training grounds, he knew that they will not be up to par when any given situation arises.

She had just given him her report and let him know her department was ready. A few minutes later the order came in. She instinctively reached for her necklace, holding the pendant she raced it on the chain for a few seconds, then she held it. It was the pendent she received, on the day of, her coming of age in the Temple of Thorta.
Her face took a serious expression as she opened the channel to station operations.
"Station operations this is the USS Tarawa UFMV 70251, at station docking ring alpha 4. MCapt Zarlena Dorius Helmswoman. Requesting permission for launch."
"USS Tarawa UFMV 70251 we have your flight plan registered. You have permission to launch to in 3 minutes. Proceed at one quarter forward thrusters. Once you pass the docking ring increase to full thrusters. Once passed the shipping lanes Capt Dorius your on your own. Be careful out there."
"Roger that station operations. Will launch in 3 mins. Beginning pre launch procedures. Dorius out"
Slender fingers danced across the console as she tapped in the commands, heading and then waited for the time to pass. This to her was the worse, waiting.
Finally what seemed like a lifetime passed.
"Colonel Allen, I have clearance, instructions, ready and beginning to launch."
Releasing docking clamps, with a hiss they released. A thump told them that the Umbilical had been cut, now placing them on their own full life support system.
"Thrusters on line. Engaging one quarter forward thrusters." She felt the slight vibration as the Tarawa engines came to life.
The Tarawa began to glide gracefully out of the docking ring.
"Increasing to full thrusters and will remain there until we reach the end of the shipping lanes. Eta to the end of shipping lanes 3 mins."
As the Tarawa for the first time got her space wings she made a presence to all who saw the graceful lady leave.
"Sir we are the end of the shipping lanes and going to full impulse for 30 mins sir."
For the next 30 mins she watched the monitors, her console, and the way the ship moved. Learning the feel and nature of the lady and looking forward to seeing how she responds later at the testing grounds.
"Sir bringing warp engines on-line, engaging now." She not only felt but sensed the unique vibrations that made the Tarawa who she is.
"Sir our ETA is 18 hours at warp 6.5.

Jaylas was at her station reviewing the last minute details that must be attended to before they could consider a launch. When the Colonel walked onto the bridge. She looked at him while her antennae leaned forward in his direction. She watched as he took his seat standing at attention. Once he sat down she relaxed.
After he made his announcement he asked if she had anything to add. Jaylas shook her head while her antennae stood rigid and quivered slightly.
"No sir I have nothing to add at this time."
She left her station and then sat in the executive officer chair. It was soft and very pleasing to sit in. She tapped a few keys on the armrest console. Now the security console was linked. An assistant security officer, MCapt Stevenson took the console. He read the orders of the day and then proceeded to monitor the station.
She watched as the ship glided out of the docking ring and was impressed at the skills of Captain Dorius. Once the launch was finished she looked at Allen.
"That was impressive Captain Dorius is very skilled."

Thomas watched as Zarlena deftly got confirmation and moved the Tarawa out of the docking area.He was impressed as she handled the ship moving her to impulse.She showed no difficulty in handling the Tarawa.
He knew that took real skill since every ship had its own handling characteristics.He nodded when Jaylas said she had nothing to add.
He watched the forward view screen as Captain Dorius engaged the Warp Engines.Thomas always found the jump into warp space beautiful.
He watched Jaylas as she took the XO chair.She tapped a few buttons,probably tying in Security to her chair.
"Indeed excellent job Captain."He turned to Jaylas,I take it the chair is comfortable?" Thomas chuckled a bit."18 hours and we will see how well she is ready for missions and work on any problems that may come up."
Thomas turned toward the view screen."So far so good ," he thought to himself.

Thomas had just finished going over his weapons and armor when he heard Kol’rah come into the Marine Training/Armory. He looked over at him and gave him a nod. Before he got a chance to say hello to him, he heard attention called. Thomas quickly goes to attention.
When she asked if anyone had any questions, he had none to ask at the moment. He kept quiet and remained at attention until further instructions were given. Her words went to heart, he knew he was good at what he in, but also knew that he could do better.
Thomas knew he has to be trained hard and will expect the training like any Marine should. He looked straight ahead of him, never looking one way or the other.

Kasia nodded in agreement. "I figured the same thing too Dr. If I might make a suggestion. If we were to set up the first three bio beds as a triage unit, and then use the rest to treat more serious cases, with doctors and nurses at the stations that fit them the best we could improve our efficiancy."
