: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : "What do you think of the new ship design?" He asked.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Xavier (CO)
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Julien smiled, "It's different, I'll give it that. The Nimitz was a floating outpost. I've yet to decide whether this ship matches up to it. I guess that decision will come with time. How about yourself? You've been aboard the ship longer, how does she fare up for you?", he replies.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ~ Lt. Cmdr Vincenzo, XO
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : "Well they said the Nimitz was ugly but this design is a throwback and uglier. The CIC grows on you though but you do miss the feel of the Bridge. I favor the Nimitz design but this design is deceptively efficient." He said.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : "Damn good to have you on Board Commander. We have gone through Captains like Romulans through Ale. In effect I have been the CO for several years. I have to tell you this ship loves its XO but not so much the Captains. Hope thats not a bad sign for me." He said smiling.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Xavier (CO)
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : He returned the smile, "Its damn good to be on the Ark Angel too, Captain. Although, how long command sees fit for me to remain as XO is another matter. I figure this may only be an interim posting, although I should hope to remain aboard the ship in some capacity."
: : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : BJ had heard the conversation in the background. He had been aboard longer than both of them combined. "The Nimitz was a floating phaser array and torpedo launcher. It was probably the best ship a scientist could start on."
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Janzen
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : "Yes it was." Xavier said and then raised his glass that the bartender had just filled up.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : "To the Nimitz AA then." He said toasting the ship he had loved.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Xavier (CO)
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : He had missed it. BJ had pointed out that he had learned to be creative on the old Angel. It wasn't the best science vessel. But, he had learned to adapt. He took part in the toast.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Janzen
: : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : Julien raised his glass in line with the others, "To the Nimitz AA."
: : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : ~ Vincenzo, Currently IC as aXO
: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : BJ had not met the man with Xavier. X had said that he had ties to the old ship. He didn't know what they were, but that made him interested. "Not to look stupid. But, I don't think I've met him yet."
: : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : Janzen
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : Overhearing this comment to Xavier, he responded himself by stepping forward and extending his hand to the office, "Lieutenant Commander Julien Vincenzo, Interim First Officer and Incoming Operations Manager. My brother served on the Nimitz AA, as First Officer under Admiral Greg Hertzsch. You are? A Scientist I take it?"
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : ~ Julien Vincenzo, IC as aXO
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : There had been two with that name aboard. Being around awhile he had seen a few come and go. "If you're referring to who I think you are; his son was aboard awhile back."he said almost forgetting his manners. "BJ Janzen , science chief."he continued shaking Julien's hand.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Ending the handshake firmly, he loosened his grip and took a sip from his drink. "Nice to meet you BJ, yes, my twin brother Ed was XO here for a brief period. He wasn't here for long I understand. He was a career leader, I would imagine him being a CO somewhere by now. The past is the past. I've never met his son."
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : ~ Julien Vincenzo, aXO
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : That brought back a lot of memories. They were mostly good ones. "He was an excellent leader. Led my only away mission. X is an excellent leader in his own right."
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Janzen
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Julien nodded. He wanted to know some more about Janzen's work on the Angel, particularly research perhaps that was being undertaken. "So, what use have the science facilities been on this new Ark Angel?"
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : ~ Julien Vincenzo, aXO
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : That was an interesting question. Because of the shakedown cruise he had time to really start anything. "To be honest most of the resources have been on monitoring the Patch. We did have a Santa Claus sighting. We do have samples that will be worked on. I also have a project Mr. Lawerence would be most interested in. I haven't started it yet."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Janzen
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Julien nodded, he had thought as much from what he had already read in the reports. "Alright, well if there is anything I can help on. I'd be interested to know. I took a few classes in Science at the Academy, although these didn't constitute enough to be recognised as a minor, and I've developed interests in certain fields where I've worked closely alongside Science."
: : : : : :
: : : : : : ~ Julien Vincenzo, aXO
: : : : :
: : : : : BJ was mildly surprised by Julien's statement. He was a little different than his brother. And he was happy to have someone able to help him a bit. He was about to create a new type of body armour for the security and marines. "Thank you. Are you interested in a new body armour?"
: : : : :
: : : : : Janzen
: : : :
: : : : "If that body armour would advance existing technologies in the body armour field then I'm interested. Such a venture would need to be useful otherwise why bother. What do you have in mind Lieutenant?"
: : : :
: : : : ~ Lt. Commander Julien Vincenzo, aXO
: : :
: : : "That's the plan."BJ said. He laid out his plan. "Make it a little more flexible, a little more durable and of course, more protective."
: : :
: : : Janzen
: :
: : OOC: This is so unacceptable of me. Enough said. Also, you have mail :)
: :
: : IC: Julien nodded. "Alright, I'm in. Where are you at with this project right now?" he asked. He was no curious and most certainly interested in the project. Numerous thoughts were going around in his mind but until he knew more specifics he didn't want to let go of the handbrakes.
: :
: : ~ Lt. Commander Vincenzo, Ops Manager
:
: "Well I've only started. I'm looking at fabrics and technology right now."BJ commented.
:
: OOC: Didn't get any mail from ya.
:
: Janzen

Julien tapped his glass on the table a few times, "Fabrics and technology... In terms of fabric, we could probably do with working out what body armor is currently employed and what those that wear it think about it. Some security guinea pigs might not come in useful, to hit the target audience with a capital T. Is there any where you think I could start contributing right now?" he said.

Now becoming aware of his glass tapping, he stopped abruptly. "Gets annoying when you notice, forgive me. Do you want another drink?"
