It will take 3 weeks to construct the internal and other shell of the Gamma class ship at our shipyards.

I'm Commander John Norton, Chief Engineer of the first Gamma class vessel to leave space dock over 3 months ago. I can tell you we have been having to modified a few systems and upgrade a few things from what the specs say but it been worth whiled.

I am one of the 4 main officers behind in creating and putting together the ship from the beginning. What I saying is I was head of the construction team and have been making upgrades.

Currently, we have one Gamma class starship in space dock that is close to completion. 2 weeks max beofre we launch it with only required systems to another space dock in the Delta quadrant to finish the ship before it finally ready to be commissioned.

Mr. Hobson, if it possible, we can transport the ship to your station for the completion if possible by us?

Thank you. I currently at the dry docks so I will be working on this while the Delphia A my ship is under going a minor upgrade.

John in a very not so good mood walks into the shuttle and grabs a few Power Mod and leaves.

He heads over to the all the shield emitters and places on inside of each.

That should do it John thinks for a few seconds.

He then walks back into the shuttle and check the sensors and shield strenght.

Well, I think we got about another 1/2 hour before the storm passes with the lot of water, John said to Jen.

=^=Admiral Ryan to Commander Norton=^=

=^=Norton here=^=

=^=Commander, I need u up here we are having engine trouble=^=

=/-\= Understood Admiral, I will beam up ASAP. Norton out =/-\=

Turns and see's Jen listening in.

I have to go. My dutys is to my ship more now, I said to her.

Yes, I just sent a message to my ship to get more shield generators and medical personnel down here.

To jen, lets have some fun and when i get back to my ship. I will give you a tour. Forgot, need to find some diltium soon as well for our warp and transwarp drive.

John heads over to Jen and ask if she wants to take a ride in the shuttle to recover there downed shuttle?

After cutting the comm, John brings the shuttle engines to full power and get's to the beacon a few minutes later.

He see's them at the top of the ocean and starts to beam them aboard. A 1 minute later, they are aboard.

John turns in his chair and interduces himself.

Welcome aboard the Shuttle Discovery, I am Commander John Norton, Chief Engineer Officer of the USS Delpha A. This is a small team of mine. We can't leave the planet but I brought along some force fields that we can make a temp base at your destroyed base. I do need some corridates, John asked.

Your welcome..... We notice the distress beacon like a pick in a pine tree.

Pretty much, when this is all over I will let you test drive this in space to see how you handle with this technology.

John starts to land the craft down to what looks like a shuttlebay in the base with Jen help. he then checks and notice that we only have about 15 minutes before the storm hits the base.

Well, I think the hard part is here now. The storm will be here in less then 15 minutes. Lets start unloading and placing these portable force fields up for the time being.

While helping Jen get one of the emitters to the walk which is close to falling, he hears the storm approaching.....

That bearly get it in place before they see a big 10 meter high walll of water heading there way.

I think that all the emitters that needs to be in place. That wall of water heading our way may be more danagerous then anything if we can't get them online.

2 minutes later right before the wall of water hits the base where they are, the emitters come online with help from SHuttle Discovery. When the water hit, they seen it try to break through.

Shield Strenght down to 95 %, John said over the noise.

"How did you get through the ion storms in the upper atmosphere?"

It was kinda easy. This shuttle and our main ship the USS Delphia A are hybreed phototype ships. We used a Gravition Generator to increase the SI Fields, shields, and to increase our speed, answered John as he turns back to the helm controls.

John plots the max speed and they are off. We can reach the other perminter of the base in 1.5 minutes and be there in about 2 on normal shuttles but this on will cut both of those numbers down in half.

Johnopens a channel to the Delphia A.

Admiral Ryan, I got the crew and am heading for the StarPheonix base. I will recover the shuttle after the storm is passed this area and after a temp base is set up.[i/]

Looks at Jen.

I can't go into details Lieutenant. It classified and lock under a higher level security clearance then I have, i said when I heard a what sounds like a Hawk Fighter taking off.

Turns to Brendan when he hits his commbadge.

=/-\=Ryan to Shuttle Andresses, 5 to beam up. =/-\=

=/-\= Understand Admiral. Beaming now. =/-\=

John, Brendan, and the 5 Security Officers beam to the shuttle in orbit.

John takes a seat at the helm console 15 seconds after materlizing on the shuttle.

30 Minutes Later...

John: Sir, we have the fighter in range.

Brendan: Hail the vessel.

=^= This is Admiral Ryan, shut down main power and be prepared to be boarded=^=

John: No response, sir.

Brendan: Fighters take out there ngines.

Brendan: Ensign, fire at will take out Mr. Grahms engines

Sir, I detecting a build up in the hawk warp reactor. It going to explode in less then 3 minutes. The shields around the fighter is collopsing, I said to Admiral Ryan.

Beam him aboard, Commander, Ryan replied.

Yes Sir. Beaming now, I said.

The security officers take positions around the transporter pad at the back of the runabour with phaser set on stun.

A few seconds later, Petty Officer Grahms is aboard and subdued. I change course s\with the escort fighter element and went to full impulse power of the runabout and got outa range of the explosion before the Hawk fighter exploded and set a course back to the Delphia A.

10 Minutes later -Shuttlebay - USS Delphia A.

A whole squad of Marine and 2 Security Teams where sending by in the shuttlebay when we landed inside.

* The team puts on full security gear.

Brendn: Mr. Norton take us out.

*John presses a few buttons on his console and before we new it we were in orbit over Dantro.

Brendan: Beam us down.

*The team beam downed onto Dantro and arrived to Petty Officer Gram Bells position, but he wasnt there, his comm badge was though.

Great, where could he have gone, I though. Then remember there was a shuttlecraft still on this planet.

Sir, I just remember I left one of our shuttle crafts down here on an accident when I beamed back up. He could use that to get off this planet, I said before I heard something coming at me.

I turned around and got hit by a pie. My face got all red from it.

ARGGG, Who did it, I said to anyone around here that should be doing something.

OCC: Jen. I am on important assignment with my Commanding Officer here in this security party. We are looking for someone and I can't go into details much farther then that. Please don't mess this up or it will come down not only hard on me but you as well.

You really want to fly this shuttle don't you, I ask coming over and sitting down in the chair behind the engneering console.

Yes I do, Jen replied.

Well, let's go then, I answered to her answer.

Shuttle Discovery lift's off the ground and starts to head to where the Lothlorien shuttle went down at.

5 minutes later at half engine burn.

Wish I had the AI system installed on this shuttle before I left, I thought.

As the shuttle gets closer to the ocean, John starts to activate the Gravition Generators to full power to get more power to the tractor beam when it comes online.

Then I push a button on the console and the tractor beam activates. The crashed shuttle starts to come up from under the water now.

Bring us up 100 meters, I said to Jen.

Over hears what Admiral Halfdale says and heads over to him.

Sir, I could always tow your shuttle back up to the Lothlorion. It wouldn't be too much of time since I need to return to my ship to do some of my dutys there, I said to him.

OCC: Admiral sir, take a look on the Delphia A. I posted it there instead of here.

ON:

Thank you Commander dArcsabre, for the Dilithium, if you could figure out a way to get it down here safely before you came down, I would be happy.

Your patient is over there. Points toward the other Commander here.

Turns to Jen...... I think it time I bring up the field generators on there own power now. Then I can go and get your shutle craft and tractor it back to your ship.
