The doors open to my quarters. "Lights".
The lights come on. I step aside for Miria to enter first.

She enters with sa somewhat concerned expression.
Beg your pardon sir. But heaven forbids if we find something out here, and get caught in a major confrontaion. Wouldn't these parts best serve us now?

I extend my arm out towards a chair located in front of my desk. "Miria, have a seat."
I walk around the desk, sit in my chair and hit my comm button.
"Engineering to Jorgenson, bring the warp drive to full power, maintain alert status. keep me informed of any changes that require our assistance and keep an eye on the warp drive.
"Engineering to Bridge, warp drive is at full power. Engineering is on full alert status. Due to the issues with the warp drive I may need to cut power at some point."
I push the button and look directly at Miria.
"Miria, these parts aren't for the current specifications of the vessel. Let me explain something to you..."
"When we left SB140, I was assigned on board the Avenger as CENG. My orders were clear, keep this 15 yr old ship running. so I went through the entire ship deck by deck, spec by spec looking at her refit and her condition. This ship has been refitted 3 times, the last time at SB140. Now I don't know what happened that required her to go through these 3 refits, and I don't really care. But what I do know is this... in order for her to maintain her structural integrity and weapons functional, along with every other part of this damn ship, the refits aren't cutting it and because she's so old, Starfleet should classify her as a derelict and decommission her."
"so this is where I called and asked for an assistant and I got you, and let me tell you this much, I like you. You have the drive and the heart and I can't ask for ANYONE better to be my assistant. BUT being my assistant doesn't give you the authorization to just go out and start assigning jobs to the engineering staff. THAT'S MY JOB. Your job is to be my assistant...nothing further. IF I wanted to assign them jobs I WOULD have asked you to assign them OR do it myself."
"Do you understand me Miria?"

She listens as he goes on about the refit schedule, feeling as though the fustration is finally being unleashed on her.
Sir, I do understand. But you must understand why there is a 5 year refit on this vessel. It has an important job. I'm sure the Admiral would of prefered to rebuild a Defiant class from scratch, but the fact remains. This is you baby sir......sorry for being frank. But strusturally, this ship is brand new. A New Warpcore untested in battle, and I fear babying her right now is not the way to go. She reaches and inspects one of the part, noting something is very wrong. I'm sorry sir....maybe if I paid more attention, I would of noticed these are not the correct parts. She feels the ship pitch, and a shudder, as the red alert claxon is sound.

Where did you get your facts Miria, this ship ISN'T brand new...its a 15 yr old ship that has been refitted three times. SB140 being the last. SO she's not brand new, just new parts and WE'RE (points at her and then myself) supposed to keep her running. And your absolutely right...the warpcore WOULD be running smoothly had we had a proper shakedown but noooo immediately we go into battle. AND THEN there's the bridge... have you noticed that engineering doesn't seem to exist to them? I've called and called and called many times and get ignored. Well not any longer. If your willing to work WITH me, we can turn this ship totally around.
Stands up and extends hand...what do you say?

As I stand up and extend my hand to Miria in my quarters I look outside my window and notice the large ships appearing.
"OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT!"
I hit my comm badge "JON TO BRIDGE...captain whats their shield status?"

Computer, create folder refit, U.S.S. Avenger
Authorization: Reul, Jonathan P
Passcode: ******
working.....
Folder created
Computer, Calculating requests in days, give me a level 1 diagnostic on the following areas and place all data and inqueries into folder.
Bridge. Include all station diagnostics, operational status and trace all systems both internally and externally.
Engineering. include structural integrity, wiring and relay tests and report results. all station status including both internal and external with any abnormal or inconsistant readings.
Structural integrity. scan and report external and internal hull plating integrity values, internal beams and walkways values and create list of replacements that are needed
Shields. include all coils, and emittors. compute probable ways to harness power from other places.
All weapons. Scan and report structural integrity report on the quantum torpedo launch bay. Compute probable ways to harness power from other places for power.
Warp drive. Include field and structural integrity and power field test for the warp core. Also perform levels 1 through 3 diagnostics on the entire warp drive. Include spatial temporal displacement, energy placement and wave. Scan and report all issues with the entire warp drive, current warp core and replacement warp core.
Give me a list of all refit areas since first shakedown of stardate 51066.3 to SB140. create categorized list of all parts, areas, and work done more than 5 times.
Perform a Level 1 through 3 subroutine diagnostics on your core, memory and all hardware components, subcomponents and backups. Create backup of file 001 through end. transfer backup to system section 3.25 of starfleet command sector 6 engineering.
More to follow.
"acknowledged, calculating request.... Approximate time for completion... 3.6 days
"Commence requests."
I stand up and stretch my back. "OH!" I wince as a muscle spasm hits. A full week out of sickbay and I still hear cracks and feel muscle spasms. Maybe I'll go see Dr S'helar and ask her for muscle relaxants."
Rubbing my back and taking a deep sigh, I walk over to the replicator.
"Vixorian ale".... A large glass appears filled with a blueish yellow liquid that is steaming and foaming on top.
I take the glass and walk back over to my lounge chair and sit. As I sip my drink I remember Dr S'helars words... "Mister Reul, no need for formality. You should rest, I am only the Chief Medical Officer." Damn Vulcans. Can never take a compliment. Why wouldn't I be formal to her, she is after all a superior and she has just as much of a huge job as I have. My responsibility is keeping the Avenger alive, her job is keeping the crew alive. Huh in a sense we're both like doctors.
I take a sip again and begin to think.... 3.6 days, the refit is for 3 weeks which gives me 2 weeks and an odd number of days. Didn't I read somewhere once that a constitution class starship...uhmmmm...Entropr...no...Enter...ENTERPRISE...U.S.S. Enterprise...the second, no third line of the starships named Enterprise...returned from her historic mission still intact and had a 18 month refit and redesign schedule and I only get 3 weeks...
I take a huge gulp of my drink... I really think the rear admiral hates me and is punishing me.

She walks up to his door, and rings the chimes, as she wates with 2 bottle of fresh Bavarian Ale, and 2 Tankards.

"Request complete. All data transferred to refit folder."
Finally I say to myself. I get up from my lounge chair, still a bit sore and hobble over to my desk. As I set my drink down my comm unit chimes. I push the button.
"Yes."
"Well, I see you've been a bit busy Jon."
Recognizing the voice I grab my drink and smile
"Well you said some day they'd find a way to keep me controlled. Now all they have to do is work on you. You still pushing your fused isolinear chips to the Ferengi?"
muffled laugh "Hey that was yesterdays news hot shot. Today I am a new me."
I almost spit out my drink "Ohhhh great, just what the universe needs. What can I do for you."
"Just letting you know that your "New" warp core was shipped to you and should arrive to you momentarily. I think you'll be pleased. Its not like that piece of junk they built on that rust bucket of yours. This one is improved."
The chime on my door ring
"hang on a second..." I pop up my head towards the door.. "Come in" and go back to my conversation

As I see Miria enter smiling, I smile back. I continue to look at her as I talk.
"I'll get right on it and see what it is you sent me. Stick around for a couple of weeks. I may need you more."
another muffled laugh "Like I have any where to go. How's the new addition working out?"
A small pause as I turn my head down and scratch the back of my head. Then I look back up to Miria and smile."Absolutely wonderful. Listen I have to go hot shot, I have a engineering meeting...you take care and keep in touch."
"You'll tell me more eventually. See you in a couple...Avery out."
While still smiling and now a little red with embarrassment, I turn off the comm.
"Sorry, my brother. Doesn't know when to shut up. Well isn't this a nice surprise." I take the beers and the tankards off her hands and set them down on the desk. "You're looking better."

She sets the Beer, and Tankards down as she takes a seat. A giants smile on her face as she is excited.
I had some Latinum, and I know the Ferengi on the Starbase keeps a hefty supplies of vintage Pilsner. On ice of all things. So I figure we could celebrate. By the way, do you know what a Toga Party refers to?

As I listen to Miria talk, I pour the pilsners into the tankards. As I fill the last tankard, and hear her ask about a toga partyI look at Miri smiling as she asks about a toga party. With the tankards full, I walk over and hand one to Miria.
"I've heard of them back when I was in the academy. Apparently as I understand it, its a party where everyone comes wearing a sheet instead of clothing."
I sit next to miria and hold up my tankard. "cheers"

She smiles, and raises her tankard. Cheers.
She takes a Generous chug of beer from the Tankard, and lets out a small burp.
Excuse me. I'm so embarrassed. Seems this symbiant that I have is partial to Alcoholic beverages. Seems, I keep having images of a Toga Party in 2366.
