Isara walked around the bridge. The stations were currently unmanned, but the transfers would be starting soon. She had heard that some people had already started moving in. She was going to have to meet with her senior staff soon, but for now she wanted to enjoy the silence of the bridge. She stepped around to each station, checking the readouts, touching the panels. This was going to be home for the next several years and she wanted to start connecting to the ship now.
The ship was a new ship, but it was an older design with some new upgrades and refits. Technically, it was the Valkyrie refit for the Achilles class. The Valkyrie Mark III fighters were due to be onloaded tomorrow, as were the micro-quantum torpedoes. The irony of the name of the fighters was not lost on her.
oO Valkyries for the Valkyrie. Oo
The Mark III was an upgraded version of the Mark II; sleeker, faster, torpedoes again, they were the top of the line.
The ship was an interesting hybrid of combat power and diplomatic ship. With a lot of science and intelligence gathering thrown in. She wasn’t quite sure why she’d been put here. Captain Serala was a war hero, and quite experienced. Isara had been hoping to move into a higher position within Strategic Command, but the Admiral had decided otherwise.
She was sure the doctors were going to enjoy the twin medical facilities, and she was eager to test the QSD and see what it could do.
It was time.
She slowly moved to her chair in the center of the bridge and sat down, allowing herself to feel the chair’s texture underneath her hands. She pressed the button on the chair’s left arm that would open a channel to the computer.
Aleron: Computer. This is Captain Isara Aleron. Effective immediately, I assume command of the USS Valkyrie-A, NCC-76418 per orders of Fleet Admiral Wolf and Starfleet Command. Please make the appropriate log entries and begin activating all systems needed for in-port operations.
The computer beeped at her and she felt the ship come alive under her feet.
Aleron: :: softly :: They can have the ground, I own the sky.
