(21:23:56) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: ::Claps his hands to get everyone's attention:: Engineering: Right everybody, I'm sure Lietenant Quinn has already been over it with you, and I am certain we must have all read the very brief brief.... We need everyone working on the Slipstream Drive, making sure it works perfectly and as efficiently as Starfleet are telling it should.

(21:30:00) CSO_Lt_Wright: Slade: Bridge here, go ahead.
(21:31:27) MED_Cadet_TylerSlade: CSO: Lieutenant I would like to request a ship wide broadcast reminding the crew of post shore leave physicals. Appointments should be made department heads first sir.:

(21:35:01) CSO_Lt_Wright: :: turns to T'Kirr :: XO: Commander, Sickbay is requesting a shipwide announcement for post-shore leave physicals. What are your orders?
(21:35:37) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: CO: Everything appears to be running well sir. Half the department are working on QSD the other half are finishing up diagnostics of our newly repaired and replaced systems.
(21:36:27) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: CO: I hope everything is up to your standards. ::Nods::
(21:36:58) VAdmBlackthorne: :: nods as he looks around :: ENG: We'll find out soon enough.
(21:38:37) XO_Cdr_TKirr: :: peers over to Science :: CSO: That didn't sound like the CMO on comm.
(21:38:40) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: CO: How was your shore leave sir? I hope you recieved the bottle of ale I sent down for you.
(21:38:43) NAV_Cdr_Harper: :: pins on her pips, pulls her hair back and ties it into a ponytail, and checks to be sure she's Starfleet proper in the mirror ::
(21:39:10) CSO_Lt_Wright: XO: No, Sir, it's Dr. Slade.
(21:39:40) VAdmBlackthorne: ENG: Refreshing, thank you. As for the ale, I'd advise you get to know folks a little better before offering contraband as gifts.
(21:39:55) SCI_Ens_TLira: :: at this point, she's given up on the walk and is back to monitoring her experiment, keeping an eye on the hydroponically grown plant she is testing. ::
(21:40:13) NAV_Cdr_Harper: :: satisfied, she exits her quarters and enters the TL :: Bridge.
(21:40:53) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: CO: Perhaps it was not the wisest choice of gift sir, but they do say the brass have an inquenchable thirst for it. Much like Cuban Cigars of 21st century Earth.
(21:41:18) XO_Cdr_TKirr: :: raises an eyebrow, thinking Tav could be trying something new in order to get certain individuals to make their appointments. Still, as medical staff, it is a legitimate request :: CSO: Very well, but no need to preface with the senior staff. I can remind those...not present.
(21:42:11) VAdmBlackthorne: ENG: So I've heard. Regardless, we will be testing the slipstream drive, along with its refinements, shortly after departure. Be ready.
(21:43:13) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: CO: As you command sir. I shall leave you to your inspection, whilst I go and monitor the simulations.
(21:43:16) CSO_Lt_Wright: XO: Very well, Commander. *Sickbay* Command has approved a modified version. Stand by for broadcast.

(21:55:47) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: aENG: Ensign is there anyway of decreasing the bumpiness we experienced last time we used the drive? We dont want anything shaking loose or getting damaged.
(21:56:08) XO_Cdr_TKirr: CO: Harbormaster is standing by for the last few crewmen to board at the hatch. All systems reading clear.
(21:56:28) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: aENG: I atleast hope Starfleet's refinements included that...

(22:04:37) NAV_Cdr_Harper: XO: I shall have to confirm during actual operation, but engine efficiency does appear to be markedly improved compared to our arrival state. I can report all warp speeds and quantum slipstream flight mode available.
(22:05:10) ENG_Ens_Ilaihr: *Bridge*: This is Ilaihr to the Bridge.
(22:05:14) VAdmBlackthorne: XO: Have the computer confirm, and also be sure that no one is aboard that should be not be leaving with us.
