Engineering Holodeck

[FredLurado]

"That decision is for you Cadet. You should know that ejecting the core would mean the ship could not power to warp. Leaving it sit would be the destruction of the ship. So what is the situation?"

[FredLurado]

"Very good, you might also work with power compensation. It is important to keep the important systems, such as shields, with balanced power, but to keep everything as a whole balanced depending on the power left to you in an emergency situation. Let's move on, Cadet, I promote you to Cadet Class 3 for the final bit of this course. This will test you as a chief engineer over being an engineering officer. You will be in command of your department in this simulation".
The scenario loaded and the holodeck came to life.
"This situation is one of a deep problem. The ships computer has a serious malfunction. The warp core is offline, the ships power is on a low use, weapons and sheilds are offline. All power, and more than is normal or suggested, is put to the shuttlebay. This signifies that something might be going on in that shuttlebay. You are the chief engineer, and are to investigate and work on this serious shipwide situation. I will be the captain of this ship, which will be Sovereign class. Let us begin".
Lurado took a seat in the active simulation's captains chair, and Cadet Oak stood there to begin the training.
"Chief" He said, referring to Oak, "We need power re-balanced, the simple way of diverting it back as it was by our consoles on the bridge is not cutting it...this seems to be a problem sourced from the computer system. What are your thoughts?".

[FredLurado]

"An interesting thought". They stepped into engineering, and went to a console.
"Well, this shows that the power is flowing through....deck thirteen...main power conduit. I am no engineer, chief, would you say we should attempt to cut off the flow of power to the shuttle bay?"

[Kirby Oak]

"We could, but I would worry that it might find another way to re-route it. And who knows what it may do when we cut off it's supply, although that may be more of Security's problem."

[FredLurado]

"To do what?".

[FredLurado]

Computer: Unknown. Overload source from the impulse engines.

[Kirby Oak]

"Thank you, Sir."

*Kirby shook the Captain's hand before leaving the holodeck.*

[Marcus Brodie]

Captain Brodie walked into the Holodeck.

"Captain Lurado will be here shortly. You've passed the written part of this course. I will be your instructor for the hands on simulations. Lets begin."

He moves to the control panel for he holodeck. Putting in the program.

"You will start out as an Engineering officer. In this scenario you will be with one other officer and the Chief Engineer inside the jefferies tube attempting to run a level 1 diagnostic on the transporter system."

Brodie stands back into the corner.

"Ready, begin simulation"

(I will play the computer and other officers in this simulation, as will Captain Lurado.)

[FredLurado]

"That would do it".
Lurado ordered the computer to end the program, and took a long pip, handing it to Oak.
"Cadet, you are moved up to the Cadet Class 2 rank...Computer, load and begin the engineering course simulations, filename Lurado".

The holodeck now loaded the setting of main engineering, there was a haze of smoke spread around, alerts sounding.
"Cadet, the ship is in combat! We have a conduit leak on the coolant tanks, your the chief of engineering, proceed to take command of this situation as the chief of this department, and get the ship out of the problem, begin!".
Lurado shouted intentionally, testing the Cadet on a stressfull situation.

[Kirby Oak]

"I guess I was thinking of something else. Can we shut down the warp core? Or would that be a bad idea because we're in battle?"

[Kirby Oak]

"I would attempt to optimise the combat systems as well as repair any major damage."

[Kirby Oak]

"Well, I don't really know what it is exactly. It seems intelligent though, and apparently it has the ability, whether through natural or technological means, to control our computer systems. Who knows what it could need the energy for? Perhaps it's feeding on it, or maybe it's siphoning it for it's own uses. If it is simply a creature, albeit an intelligent one, who feeds on energy, then it likely was attracted to a shuttle and followed it or was attached to it when it came into the bay."

*Kirby thought about what he just said and how little information he was actually going on and sighed.*

"But those are just possibilities of course, Sir."

[Zachariah Sacarr]

*walks in*

hello im new here so im ready to do this

[Kirby Oak]

"Their main function: collect hydrogen from interstellar space for fuel."

[Kirby Oak]

"The impulse engines? Well, we can't really just shut them down. Computer, can we redirect the excess power going into the warp core to somewhere else?"
