Chapter 6....Getting things back to normal..

[Original Labatt]

Ok that did not come out right.   And I did NOT intend to say that!  What I was saying was for the Admiral to sit in either chair she wanted too.  Either my Second in Command's chair or my command chair which I would of gotton out of so the Admiral could sit there.

[Original Labatt]

So Admiral.  There you have the ship!  I hope it met your expectations.  All of Alantra's final tests are complete.  Now I just need your Order for USS Alantra to be Operational and to take command of my forces.

[dingo15068]

Dingo1 stroles on to the bridge of the new ship.  Labbat, she is ready for her space trials.  Engineering staff is located around the ship to provide quick responce teams.  With things so upgraded and new, their might be some adjustments needed to be performed.  Once your space trials are complete, bring her down to the weapons bay and we will load her up with ammunition, and your troops will be able to board her.
Sign this release forms and we will turn over the launch codes to you.  Admiral, thank you for a wonderful dinner, and thank you for bringing me up to date to those missing days I experenced.  Did not know I could do that kind of damage in such a short time.
Labbatt, I was unable to get the clocking devices to work correctly, so had to come up with a different stratigy.  Over here on the main weapons console, there are a series of controls that will modify the exteriour of the ship to look like a circus tent.  This disquise features will help you in your duties.  Utilize them sparingly, as your ship will mimic a bozo battle tent, and you know our ships are under orders to fire first then ask questions later when we encounter Bozo combat ships, so be careful

[Original Labatt]

Dingo I have signed the release forms she is ready to be filled with ammunition and spacetrials.  After that is done I need the Fleet Admirals command, order, and also her signiture to board this ship, make it operational, and make it the Command Ship for all of my forces.

We could kill two birds with one stone and test the Alantra and Phoenix wing side by side. They could practice detecting and targeting each other to test out the sensor array on the Alantra and the Phoenixes cloaking devices. As of today we have 2 of the 5 made. We are waiting for the test pilots to check in and the go ahead from command.

[dingo15068]

Ok, lets take her out a few lightyears....dummy rounds for ammo.  Fighters will run practice combat manuveers againt you ship.  From what direction and time of those attacks. is the fighter pilots prorogative

[The Borg Collective]

Better we correct your error than let it be misinterpreted by PLC.

We......problems...computer failure....must.....reformat.....drive...We....return.....as possible.....

{The Admiral gets up out of General Labatt's lap... hehehe never mind}

{The Admiral finally wanders back to General Labatt and Captain Dingo, a faint smile on her face.}

I think the joint shakedown is an excellent idea, gentlebeings. Where is the paperwork?

{Bends over papers, executes her signature with a flourish.}

There! "Lay on, MacDuff! And cursed be he who first cries, 'Hold! Enough!'"

[dingo15068]

Dingo takes the paperwork, and salutes the admiral.  I will file these down in the admin office, and give the releases for your departure.  I will monitor the activies from the WAN as usual.  The fighters will be participating, I will be briefing the pilots on the ship, see if we can give your shakedown crew a chance to really show their stuff....(hmmm wonder what size briefs they wear, and I have spares in stock, they might be a bit soiled after their trial runs...nevermind)

Shake down test list:
Manurvability - Lets see you put the stresses on that ship
Fighter defence - simulated attack runs on the ship.  Expect the unexpected
Ship disquise - lets see how well you can mimic the Bozo war tents
Ship to ship offence and defense.....one on one against the WAN III
Multi ship attack and defence...we will be sending out the ISS Bozoblaster along with the WAN III, so be prepared to take on capital ships as well as fighters without excorts...simulating worst case.
Be prepared for simulated system failures and the works.  Have programmed your ship to experence everything from lights out to complete engine malfunction during anytime.  This is to simulate battle damage

(Portal opens, out steps Nemisis2 carrying paper)
Sorry about dissapereing for a day, stupid cyber-mages tried zapping me again.

Admiral, i just need your approval on allowing goldnsoul to have access and we'll be up one more member, if the cyber-mages hadn't mess my portal up i'd  of tried to get Brotherjohann.
Wiil try today though.
Also a bozo by the name of bullet proof from the alternate earth sector has attacked the WAN IV in SDC space, have fired retalitory shots but have some ships on stand by if we need them.
(salutes, leaves the papers near the admiral and walks to Petes place to barrage  his crowd with more lameo jokes)

[The Borg Collective]

......bulletproof....attack....damage....repairing....

[Mons]

This is Mons.  New fighter configuration tested positive.  These things handle like a dream!  But, umm...  there's no cup holders and I can't find a good place to put down my Captain & Coke.  What's up with that?

Anyway, all fighters check out and I see no reason why they can't all be scheduled for active duty.

(BTW:  Sorry I've been gone so long.  I was rafting in Maine for the last few days.  Wow, it's darn cold up there!!)

[dingo15068]

ISS Alantra....Warning incoming fighters...looks like Bozo mimic fighters...mimiced as Phonix1s

ISS WAN III  Scramble all fighters...Launch ISS Bozoblaster...incoming Bozo War Tent...disquised as ISS Alantra.....

Admiral PLC....sensors detected Bozo interference with communications with the Borg Collective...Sensors detect active virus within the collective...virus detected is   Indiviuality virus...should we send out a clocked intellegence gathering trawler towards the colective???

[dingo15068]

To:  Admoral PLC
From:  ISS JobHunting

Subj:  Dingo1

Admiral, this is to report that Dingo1's duties on our ship are complete satisfactory, and will be able to concentrate his duties on the WAN III more fully

[The Borg Collective]

We are recovering...ships systems nearing normal...communications online...virus is being dealt with.
