: : : : : "Don't get too fiddley with their propulsion manifolds, their impulse doesn't operate on the same propulsion principles ours does and I'd hate to lose an officer fixing a romulan engine. I don't anticipate us getting this up and running, primarily due to a lack of familirarity, so don't get overly ambitious."

: : : : : OOC tossing in some realism here...I think repairing a complex subsystem of a technology that's unknown to the federation is a bit reaching...but we can try! :)

: : : : OOC: True, but the warp drive principles are the same so once you use the translator to find the right spots it should be the same repair? Up to the GM...GM?

: : : : IC: Tresha worked on the bypass, not letting what the CE said effect her. Though she wasn't familiar with Romulan language or equipment propulsion theory was the same in many cultures...she was sure she could handle it. Little by little, with the help of the PaDD schematics and Romulan translation she inched the bypass into place. Careful not to touch the bad coil she labored on the propulsion system.

: : : OOC: Agree with Rai, figured the drive principles were the same and we had translated enough of the language to work our way through the minor repairs we were making. Just trying to fix impulse for manueverability.

: Rice pointed to his forehead and made a waving motion then pointed to Lt. Rai. "Manifolds appear to be clear enought." Rice said. Then moved over to Ens. Bi'ran and checked his progress. "Ok, looks like we are ready to try it Lt.," he said hopefully.

Burnett sighed, hoping for the best and tapped his comm badge.

=/\= Burnett to Nightstalker, we've made some minor repairs on the impulse system, we think it can be brought online...I'm not sure what situation we're in with that other warbird, though; so I thought I'd check before I tried to fire them up. =/\=

"Lets hope things aren't still in a standoff, eh?" the Irishman said with a grin.
