The Nebuchadnezzar arrives
IC:
Garrison Frost listened to the rumble of warp engines and felt the slight rattle in the deckplates as the Nebuchadnezzar, his starship travaled through warp. His eyes were closed as he rested in his bunk. They were travaling back to port, back to refuel, resupply and for some R&R after a long month out on patrole.
The Nebuchadnezzar was not your average starship. Many were more shocked than impressed when she showed up. A haphazzard collection of cobbled together parts form a dozen spacecraft. The ship was massive, featuring a pair of large warp engines stacked one above the other, 8 Impulse engines jammed into a narrow array between the engines and probably the strangest feature of all, a pair of large mechanized grappler arms, something almost unheardof with the advent of the tractor beam. But dispite her odd, cobbled together appearence the Nebuchadnezzar was a formiddable ship, armed to the teath and manned by a stubborn crew.
Garrison opened his eyes as a voice crackled over the intercomm. "Time to wake up Garrison, we're almost there" came the voice of his first mate, Maya Tsujimoto. Rolling out of his bunk he grabbed his jacket and slipped it on as he tapped the intercomm
"Ok, I'm coming, make sure Cole is ready to power down the warp engines once we drop out" he said before stepping out of his quarter's and pulling the door shut. He made his way forward to the main ladder and climbed up to the top level before walking the rest of the way forward to the Neb's cramped bridge.
"Took you long enough" Maya commented sarcastically as she vacated the pilot's chair and moved over to the co pilot's chair.
"Ha ha" Garroson replied as he sank into his chair and checked over the controles. flicking a series of switches he readied the flight systems for impulse flight.
"Arriving in system now" Maya stated as she watched the navigational plot.
Garrison pulled the warp throttles back, the Nebuchadnezzar shuddered as it transitioned from warp power to impulse. Taking the controle yoke in his hands Garroson powered off the ship's autopilot and aimed it twords Starbase 668.
"This is the indipendent starship Nebuchadnezzar, civilian ID D197745631-L to Starbase 668 Cntrole requesting permission to dock" Maya called out over the subspace radio. "Repeate, this is the indipendent starship Nebuchadnezzar requesting permission to dock"
"Wanna bet they are having another heart attack?" Garrison asked and laughed as the station grew larger in the forward viewports. There was a considerable delay before dock controle replied.
"Starship Nebuchadnezzar, hold your current possition while we review your ID and request" Came the reply from a slightly nervous sounding officer.
Garrison and Maya grinned. "They're freaking" she whispered, "I love this part"
"Yea, but I hope it takes them less than 4 hours to remember we work from here this time. I want to raid the pub" Garrison responded as he leaned back in his chair.
OOC: Aboard the station
IC:
"Uh..Sir, they are back" the operations Ensign informed his duty officer after closing the channel to the Nebuchadnezzar.
"Who's back?" The Duty officer asked as he came over to the operations console.
"Them" the Ensign replied, pointing to the image of the haphazard ship on his console
"Oh shit!" he blurted out, suddenly having the attention of everyone in the command center.
OOC: over to you, if you wish to be in ops and notice Amy
