With a buzz, click, and whirrrrrr the engine core finally powered up and took over hand off from secondary power sources system checks and odd wave gestures by the engineering female staff showed they were pleased with what they were seeing.

Tia had been scurrying around from location to location checking boot ups, reboots and connections. As the main core took over, she glanced at Kord. “I think we can go ahead and run full system check and make sure it’s really all up on line and going. Don’t want life support crashing when something else begins.” She moved to the nearest console and took a deep breath.

Glancing at her escort, she nodded and smiled. “Let’s run all your checks and see that everything is all right. Need to know what we have and what we still need to work on.” She had the same line of thought the XO did. No point in claiming ‘all was well’ till they knew for sure.

There was a pause before the UT translated the musical like song reply =/\= Of course, we were just about to do that =/\= The female alien said who Tia had not even gotten her name yet, though given the UT’s trouble on names and places still that was not surprising.

Tia smiled and watched as the woman tapped her fingers over the console. Like their speech, there was a beauty to the symbols on their equipment. And the speed at which the alien manipulated those keys was as equally fascinating as watching her own people work. As the woman worked, she glanced around at the others to be sure everyone was accounted for and doing all right.

Kord walked over and stood next to Tia.

“Moments of truth are exhilarating are they not? Let’s hope we accomplished our goal.”

With the core back up and running online it seems things were as set here as they could be. They could probably go check in with the Captain back on the bridge.

Pushing her shoulder back against his chest, Tia smiled. “They certainly are.” As the computer registered all was well back in the core, Tia smiled and nodded to the engineer. “I think we have you off to a good start on recovery. We need to check in with our Captain and see what else your Captain wishes of us. Let us know if anything more serious happens.” She nodded and glanced at Kord. “We really need to check in and see what’s next on the agenda.” Being the ranking officer, she left it to him to decide which of them would chat up the CO and see what was next.

=/\= Kord, I’d like to take a look around this ship for myself, with the First’s permission. I can start by coming to the engine room where you and Tia can brief me on the repairs you have made. Expect me shortly =/\=

-Glen, CO
