((Bridge, Miombo))

Iko: Where to?

Wil, still standing, looked around.  And continued looking around...

Bec soon realised why he was looking around. 

There weren’t any more seats.

(OOC: Not official layout, just a guide, and inspires what’s to follow!)

Ukinix: ::Distracted while looking around, trying to work out a spot to sit:: Um, good question, um- let’s just launch and play it by ear from there.

T'Rosa: "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning" ::looks at Iko:: I've always wanted to say that.

Iko: Aye sir. =/\= Scout Miombo requesting permission for departure. =/\=

Ops: =/\= You're good to go. =/\=

Reade: Everything looks nominal and within parameters.

Ukinix: Awesome.  I’ll be right back.

The engines whirred as Bec took the scout out of the shuttlebay, incredibly focused and holding her breath as she did so. 

T'Rosa: Scanners still operative.

Iko: ::once they were out:: Alright, the hard bit's done...

Reade: Great flying Bec! Off to that star.

 She didn't really know which star was "that" star, but a course was laid on for a star.

Ukinix: ::Raised voice from back while waiting for replicator:: Yep, sounds good!

Bec wondered what the commander was exactly up to...

T'Rosa: And we're off…

Iko: Engaging at full impulse.

Finally Wil returned from the area near the crew cabins, with his replicated item.  He stood in a vacant spot just behind T’Rosa and Scotty, unfolded the replicated item, and then squatted down to take a seat.

So that's what he had been up to...

Ukinix: Actually that’s more comfortable than I thought.  Alright, where are we?  What are we doing.

Iko: We are in the delta quardrant, flying to a random star. 

Bec managed to keep a straight face for that sentence, before going into a full on grin and a tiny giggle 

Reade: We might want to test the warp engines, might need some adjustments done since we are near that Benamite nebula.

Ukinix:  Sounds good to me.  Ensign Iko, prepare for warp and engage.

Iko: Engaging at warp one.... now.

oO She need's to warm up a bit before sprinting. Oo

T'Rosa: Internal scanners report all is functioning within normal parameters, despite our proximity to Benamite crystals.

Reade: Sounds good. :: To Bec:: Can you drop us out of warp? I need to check the engines before I can make those adjustments.

Ukinix: ::Playfully:: You heard the Lieutenant, Ensign Iko, let’s drop to impulse mate.

Iko: ::hand on the controls:: Annnnnnd back to full impulse...

T'Rosa: Small asteroid field noted to starboard, composed of very small asteroids. ::turns to Bec:: Shouldn't pose any problem for you, Bec.

But she really didn't want to scratch or dent this new Talon class.

Reade: Ok, made some changes to warp engines, can we test again :: looking over to Wil::

Bec looked behind at everyone. One thing avout being at helm was gaving to crank your neck all the time. Wil sat up slightly on his picnic stool, which Bec almost forgot he was sutting on.

Ukinix: Sure!  ::Sitting up, single slap of hands on thighs:: Ensign Iko, prepare for warp again!

Iko: Aye sir.

T'Rosa: ::puzzled::  Asteroid field now dead ahead. Did we change course?

Iko: ::eyes wide:: Wasn't me.

Ukinix: That is odd.  ::To Reade:: Lieutenant, what’s the status of the stellar maps?

Reade: Response

Ukinix: ::Shrug:: Well that’s a good as opportunity as any.  ::To T’Rosa:: Ensign, give those new scanners a workout, let’s get an updated picture of that asteroid field.

T’Rosa: Response

Ukinix: ::To Iko:: How’s the upgraded helm controls?

Iko: considering last time I flew a shuttle was when I was at the academy, they're pretty good. Practical.


Ukinix: Scotty, report, how are systems looking?

Reade: Response

Ukinix: ::Nodding:: Great stuff.  I love new Starfleet toys.  ::To T’Rosa:: Ensign, how’s it coming along?

T’Rosa: Response

Ukinix: Well now that we have those scans, let’s head to the nearest star in the greater nebula.  From what I recall, it’s even more boring than our solar nebula.

Bec chuckled 

 Ukinix: Ensign Iko, set a course, maximum warp.  I understand we can hit warp five point one-one with the new upgrades.

Reade: Response

Ukinix: ::To Iko:: Engage!

Bec smiled. They slowly crept up to warp 5. 

Out of the front window, the stars turned into lines as the ship went to warp.  Wil sat up in his chair too quickly.  The picnic stool rocked slightly backwards, enough for Wil to fall with it.  Lying on his back and looking up at the scout’s ceiling with his legs in the air, he called out to the crew.

Bec didn't know whether to go laugh or go "oh god are you okay" 

It was like a time she tried walking through a glass door. Actually there were several times.

Iko: ::chuckling:: Com- commander?!

Reade/T’Rosa: Response

Ukinix: Well I can report they’ve upgraded the carpet too.  It’s quite comfy.  ::Moment of pause:: Are we there yet?

It took a little while for Bec to respond through all her chuckling.

Iko: Dropping out of warp...
 now. How the NX-01 got through with this being their top speed is beyond me...

Reade/T’Rosa: Response

Iko: So, currently, ::trying to hold in a laugh:: the only improvement this shuttle could have is... another chair. 

Reade/T'rosa/Ukinix: response 

Iko: Hold on. 

Bec made sure the shuttle wasn't going anywhere without her, and made her way to the replicator, eventually coming out with a better picnic chair.

Reade/T'rosa/Ukinix: response 

Iko: ::holding chair out:: Delivery to Commander Ukinix. 

Reade/T'rosa/Ukinix: response 

Iko: An authentic Aussie camping chair. Perfect for sitting and fishing or stargazing. Complete with a an old bottle opener I only just realised was there...

Reade/T'rosa/Ukinix: response 

Iko: ::sitting back down in a built in chair:: So, whats this ball of plasma like?

Reade/T'rosa/Ukinix: response
