Mission 1: "Refitting"

[Lois]

"Just Evolution sir," He said, "But I have been on a transport ship before, not really counting as a starship," He looked around, the ship seemed so big.

[Jacob Ressik]

<<Medical Department>>
Sgt Ressik is moving the old equipment out with the help of a couple of other marines when Doctor Nesbitt enters.

[William Richerd]

=A= Richerd here, Helm is being still worked on, almost done though... I rather be triple sure that I did this job correct then to find out in the middle of a situation that I messed up the wiring to some obscure button. Sorry for the long story sir, but short answer now, I am still working on helm.=A= his voice was brisk and to the point, in tone that is.

[Jacob Ressik]

"Yes Sir" Ressik answers

[William Richerd]

Richerd was about to answer Balkazar when General Powell was announced, making sure that Nesbitt was standing he also saluted. "A pleaser to have you aboard sir." After he had saluted he answered Colonel Balkazar. "Of course sir, I can help with fixing helm, and I will have to familiarize myself with all of the new controls, but it shouldn't be too different then a Pelican control, right?" He was joking by the tone of voice he was using, but his eyes showed that he was more then willing to pilot the ship to where it would need to go.

[Balkazar]

<Lays down on the biobed and covers up to make sure the doctor doesnt see but the nurses are another story>

"Hurry up."

[John Simpson]

"Oh dont worry, youll make plenty of friends here and theres no back stabbing.  Marines teach us to be honest even tho it may cost us our lives.  It teaches us not to be scared of a superior because they were in our shoes at one point in time.  I have learned from past experience to never back stab my friends.  If I did that I wouldnt have made it into the marines, marines will teach you alot about self sacrifice, Honor, compassion, humility.  Once you recieve your first red badge of courage you will know what it means to be a marine and you wont be scared of fighting anymore.  Luckily for me, I just sit back usually and tend to the wounded.  Have you ever thought about doing a trial run with the marines?.  See how it feels and such?" John inquired.

"Ok, your done for now.  Ill head up to the bridge with you after I put this stuff away.  Oh and dont worry about the marines with there phasers at there hip, its a requirement for us.  Even if we are during peace times and such its still a requirement to be armed at all times.  Some of the marines are nice, others arent.  Others look rough and tough as a drill sergent to teach you not to be such a softy all the time.  We arent all that bad, just the superiors are the ones that are tough.  Im nice compared to Captain Keller.  He punched Nesbitt over there for not saluting cuz he came from starfleet before he joined up with us.  Col. Balkazar was Starfleet before he came here.  I believe he worked tactical.  I was a Navigation/Helmsmen on a frieghter before I joined up with the marines.  I was also the freighters doctor." He said with a chuckle.

[Lois]

A curious look came over Mark's face, "What class is it, sir?" He asked, taking note of what the Admiral said but not recongonzing the class of the ship.

[Lois]

Mark stood there dumbfounded, he has never really seen a marine before and it was a pretty awkard situtation for him. He sure did remind him of someone though...

[William Wallace]

Coming back onto the Bridge to meet the Captain I go directly to him.

"Captain Titan. Welcome sir, I am Commander William Wallace. Former Chief Science Officer of the evolution sir. Your first Officer. Happy to make your aquaintance sir. With the Marine here sir I don't see either of us getting to do much planet hopping sir. Colonel Balkazar is a bit harsh but he is okay for a Marine. He only wants the best for his men I am sure of that."

[Viktor Kozlov]

"With all due respect sir, your only here for a short time, i'm posted here, we should be feeling sorry for." Ensign Kozlov says grimicing, knowing he was stiring up the Navy Marine rivalary

[Andrew Yates]

*...Shocked by Balkazar's 'order' he turns to him with a frown...*

"Colonel. Do I need to send you to your office with a book on Federation history? or were simply joking about not knowing about the Treaty of Algeron. You know very well that we are not allowed to use cloaking devices. The only exception to that treaty is the Uss Defiant."

[Viktor Kozlov]

<Security Department.>

"Ressik, you call that working, I could get the job done faster than you" Viktor yells Angrily a feirce stare penatrating to Sergeant.

[Viktor Kozlov]

Viktor Leaves the department satisfied that the new marines got the job done and headed up to the bridge.

[Maguid Velotian]

*Acknowledges the Captain and walks off, familiarising himself with the bridge*
'A fine ship indeed he thinks to himself and a fine captain to boot'.

*Takes out his data-pad and begins to make a journal entry*
'All appears well so far. The ship is more beautiful than a dozen Romulan girls. The bridge looks new and the equipment appears to be up to date. (Memo. Must remember to check out the sensors).
The crew seem like good folk and I trust they'll accept me despite my Romulan heritage.'

*Looks up at the crew and smiles when he see's Mason, before continuing with his journal*
My old friend Mason seems to be here also. Haven't seen the old boy in years, I wonder if he still recognises me...'
