Ender did a quick scan of the ships ofensive systems, remembering that the torpedos were the main weapons on the ship, and pointed the bow at the Romulan vessel.
"One half impulse aye." he said
He positioned the ship off to the side, prepared to direct the ship at the Romulans if need be.
"Attack Pattern Alpha aye, closing to within 1100 meters sir."

Very good cadet. You just saved us from a terrible death. I can see that you definitely got the skills and knowledge needed to become a flight control officer. You therefore can change your avatar into Cadet C4. In order to let you graduate, I will give you one more test you have to pass.

*Archer re-entered the holodeck silently and watched cadet Ghemor at the helm. As Archer was watching, Ghemor just made a very nice manoeuvre, avoiding a suddenly-appeared asteroid*
"Well, cadet, I see that you have mastered the manual controls very well. Your flying skills look very promising."
*Archer walked over to cadet Ghemor*
"Computer, freeze simulation.
I promised you that in our next lesson, that now has begun, I would tell you all about navigation, course plotting, and inputting information in the computer. So, here we go."
"Now, when telling the computer where to go, you can do so by giving one of five different 'input modes'. These five modes are:
- Destination sector
- Destination planet or system
- Absolute heading
- Relative heading
- Spacecraft intercept
When inputting a certain sector of space, the spacecraft is sent to the same location in the targeted sector as it holds in the present sector. When selecting a planet or system, the computer calculates the correct direction automatically. The same goes for plotting an intercept course."
"If you, however, want to head for another location than a planet, system, other vessel or sector, you can give the computer a heading. The absolute heading is a flight vector specified relative to the center of the galaxy. In this case, if you want to head towards the center of the galaxy, your heading will be: bearing 000, mark 000.
When you talk about the relative heading, it is measured relative to the current direction of the spacecraft. Something directly ahead of the vessel is then at bearing 000, mark 000. The bearing indicates the azimuth (angle along a horizontal plane around the vessel), and the mark indicates the elevation. The bearing increases as the heading moves from in front of the ship to starboard. The mark increases as the heading moves upwards."
"Any questions so far, cadet?"

"You have answered all the questions correctly. I am very pleased with that. Especially question 3 was answered incorrectly many times before. Because of your good prestation, I hereby promote you to Cadet Class 2. Please change your avatar accordingly. Now there is only a small part of theory left for me to teach you. After that you get another test. When you pass that test, things are getting interesting, and we will start your practical training."
"But first some more theory. We have completely covered the part about navigation and flight control. One more subject I would like you to know about, are some battle tactics and its corresponding maneuvers. I will only teach you the basic maneuvers, here they are:
Alpha: involves a mostly straight on approach to the target
Beta-1: te ship dives down between two enemy ships, firing at least once at each of them (and hoping they will miss it and hit each other)
Beta-2: aproaching the target closely, the ship jinks to the starboard of the target, then dives beneath it to emerge on its port ventral side, firing as it goes.
Delta-1: te ship swoops up from underneath a target to attack its vulnerable ventral side.
Delta-4: an all-out, straightforward frontal attack
Sierra-1: the ship swoops in from an aft dorsal angle to attack the target from behind
"Of course there are lots more maneuvers, and when you have talent for piloting and strategy, you might even think of your own maneuvers, like Captain Picard and Commander Riker have once done."
"This covers all theory needed for the coming practical trainings. I would like you to absord all this information. I have put it all on this PADD..."

IC:"A Delta Flyer, I have always wanted to try one of these things out!"
*Gunn Mann settled into the CONN and began to get familiar with the obstacle course programmed into the Delta Flyer*
"Sir, this is quite a challenge you have programmed. Checking out helm, all systems read green, course and speed laid in, engaging now."
*The Delta Flyer moved ahead at half impulse power*
"Leaving standard orbit and heading to the first obsticle. Changing course to match the program, this course is taking us awfully close to that gas giant planet, vectoring in for gravity slingshot, ugh!, gravity slingshot achieved!"
*The gravity slingshot assist rapidly increased the velocity of the craft and the current course had the craft heading to the star of the local system*
"Changing course to match it's going to get a little hot in here"
*The course adjustment brought the craft into the very outer edges of the star's influence*
"Shields holding, internal temperature climbing, engaging warp nacelles, warp 3 engaged!"
*A short trip at warp 3 brought the delta flyer to the next obsticle*
"Dropping out of warp, ion storm! Adjusting sensors"
*The Delta Flyer began to rock as Gunn Mann adjusted the sensors and kept velocity at full impulse inside the ion storm*
"Hold on sir, just a little bumpy ride is all, almost there, almost there, whew, ion storm cleared, adjusted course engaging warp drive"
*This was last obsticle the Delta Flyer was approaching*
"Coming out of warp sir, WHOA! Gravity well, compensating, if I can't adjust this in time the ship may get sucked into the gravity well, placing life support at minimum I gonna need the extra power sir! Course and setting laid in hopefully there is enough power! Engaging impulse drive to 120%!
*The Delta Flyer groaned and whisked away from the gravity well*
"Holy Smoke Sir, end of the course has been achieved. Hopefully my time is adequate"
*Gunn Mann had reached the end of the obsticle course and sat at the CONN, hands slightly trembling as the last move was definetly not something he wanted to repeat any time soon. He crossed his fingers to stop the trembling.*

Okay. Here is how we plan to move to the next stage.
You will be placed onto a ship as an intern to further your studies.
This session will last one week (real life) and you will get a feel of how a Federation starship works.
I am hereby promoting you to the rank of Cadet 4th year.
(please select the proper rank pip)
Depending on how you do during your internship you will be marked accordingly.
I'll select the ship for you to get the best opportunity.
OOC: I will try to get that for you tomorrow.

Then he headed back for Neptue geting a questioning look from his teacher.
"Activating Inelman turn....now" he said, the shuttle climbed verticaly until it was almost upside down then rolled to starboard then manuvered around evading their weapons and ecaped into the asteroids, and headed for home.
"Very good sir!" he said fairly excited by it all.

"Aye, Sir".
Dane kept his hand an inch above the controls as he watched silently the ship moving closer on the viewscreen.
"We are within weapons range, beginning eratic maneuvers".
The ship felt like a wave on the inside, moving down and up, side to side as Dane worked with the helm to move the ship from incoming torpedo fire.
"Our forward weapons are in range, and are ready for firing".
He continued to work the helm, moving at quick impulse bursts of speed to turn the ship quickly, to face the charged forward weapons and sheilds to the enemy ships. As the ship straightened, the eratic maneuvers began again at his working.

Computer, skip to chapter 7: Graduation Test
*The holodeck changed into a replica of the Delta Flyer*
Cadet, we are now in the Delta Flyer. As you may know, this shuttlecraft was designed by the crew of U.S.S. Voyager, which was the first Federation vessel to have explored the delta quadrant. I have prepared an obstacle course, spread over 25 million cubic kilometres. I have put the course into the flight computer. You have to perform this test fully on manual control, and as fast as you can. This test has been done by a few other cadets, and the fastest one of them, did it in 2 minute and 59 seconds. From what I've seen from you so far, I am quite confident that you can beat this time. So, do your best, and show me what REAL flying is about.
OCC: Since Flight control is mostly a practical subject, it is quite hard to teach this, and also to be taught. I think it's best if you just tell me some bull**** story about the obstacle course and then I'll tell you your time. Or something like that....... We'll figure it out.
Good luck.

"Let's continue then."
"There are two different ways to indicate the direction in which a starship/shuttle is moving; absolute heading, and relative heading. The absolute heading is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the center of the galaxy. This means that if you would be travelling directly towards the center of the galaxy, your azimuth would bee 000 and your elevation 000 as well. In short: bearing 000, mark 000. This, the absolute heading is not used very often in starship piloting, but you have to know it because you might bump into it once in a while."
"Next, is the relative heading. The relative heading is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the vessel's current orientation. This means that when an object is straight ahead of the vessel, it's located at bearing 000, mark 000. To make it even more clear: the azimuth, which is indicated by the bearing, refers to an angle along a horizontal plane around the vessel, values increase to the starboard. The mark refers to the angle of elevation, values increase to above."
=============================================
=============================================
"What I have just told you is the most important data you will get in this education. Therefore I will now give you some questions about it. Please answer them correctly.
1. Using the relative heading, an object located at bearing 174, mark 002, is located: a) off the starboard bow, b) off the port bow, c) off the rear bow.
2. How would you announce a change of heading, when changing it to an azimuth of 45 and an elevation of 50 (relative heading).
3. A ship is moving at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the center of the galaxy. When the ship is turned to port by 12 degrees, elevation is not changed, what is it's new heading? (absolute heading)

Ah, cadet, thank you for showing up so quickly. Welcome to your first lesson. As you can see, we're currently on the bridge of a starship. We will not start with simulations first, but I would like to know what knowledge you already possess. I have some questions, concerning navigation and starship piloting, I would like you to answer:
* What is the difference between absolute and relative heading?
* Using relative heading, on what side of the ship is bearing 258, mark 010? (Starboard or Port)
* Name at least three of the five areas of responsibility for the Flight Control Officer.
* What are the five basic input modes to specify a vessel's trajectory path?
Once you've answered these questions, I have an idea of your current level so I know where to start with your education.

Greetings Cadet,
I am Co-Director Diaz of the Academy. While we do not officially have a teacher for this course, I will be happy to teach you in the meantime.
Now, I take it you have glanced over proper helm techniques and you know how they work?
If so, I want you to list every level of warp available.

Very good cadet, the only thing you didn't have right, is the question about bearing 258 mark 010. Those coordinates are located on the port side of the vessel. When determining these coordinates, the 'bearing'-number starts counting straight ahead, and then increases clockwise when seen from above. This means that bearing 90 is exactly on the starboard side, and 270 on the port-side.
I think you have enough knowledge and talent for this subject. I hereby promote you to cadet class 2, please change your avatar.
THe next part of the training is some practice on this holodeck.
Computer, skip to chapter 3: navigation practice.

"Very well. As I promised you, the next part of this lesson will be about how to indicate headings."
"There are two different ways to indicate the direction in which a starship/shuttle is moving; absolute heading, and relative heading. The absolute heading is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the center of the galaxy. This means that if you would be travelling directly towards the center of the galaxy, your azimuth would bee 000 and your elevation 000 as well. In short: bearing 000, mark 000. This, the absolute heading is not used very often in starship piloting, but you have to know it because you might bump into it once in a while."
"Next, is the relative heading. The relative heading is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the vessel's current orientation. This means that when an object is straight ahead of the vessel, it's located at bearing 000, mark 000. To make it even more clear: the azimuth, which is indicated by the bearing, refers to an angle along a horizontal plane around the vessel, values increase to the starboard. The mark refers to the angle of elevation, values increase to above."
"What I have just told you is the most important data you will get in this education. Therefore I will now give you some questions about it.
1. Using the relative heading, an object located at bearing 174, mark 002, is located: a) off the starboard bow, b) off the port bow, c) off the rear bow.
2. How would you announce a change of heading, when changing it to an azimuth of 45 and an elevation of 50 (relative heading).
3. A ship is moving at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the center of the galaxy. When the ship is turned to port by 12 degrees, elevation is not changed, what is it's new heading? (absolute heading)

The mark refers to the angle of elevation, values increase to above."
"What I have just told you is the most important data you will get in this education. Therefore I will now give you some questions about it.
1. Using the relative heading, an object located at bearing 174, mark 002, is located: a) off the starboard bow, b) off the port bow, c) off the rear bow.
2. How would you announce a change of heading, when changing it to an azimuth of 45 and an elevation of 50 (relative heading).
3. A ship is moving at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the center of the galaxy. When the ship is turned to port by 12 degrees, elevation is not changed, what is it's new heading? (absolute heading)

I give you the option of extending the tour another week to increase your knowledge,
or, finish now and accept the evaluation and whatever rank therein.

"Good, also remember that speed can affect your heading as well"
Checks his notes again
"Ah yes, let's not forget about trajectory. It's basically the same as heading only instead of the ship moving towards a direction, it's a ship or projectile moving towards the ship. And is calculated the same way"
Looks at his books and sees what is next
"Now we have something that you may like better than bookwork" Gives a tiny smile " Onto some practical work, head on over to the holodeck for some more lessons"
(OOC: I'm going to keep it in this thread to make it easy to navigate)
Diaz and his cadet leave for the holodeck and when they arrive he punches in some info for the computer to work in
The doors open and the computer authorizes it is ready
"Here we go, after you cadet" In front of them is a typical shuttle used by starfleet docked in a space station very similar to Space Station Avalon.
The instructor sits down in the co-pilots chair and pulls it closer to the console " Okay Ender, take us out and we'll do a little sight seeing"

Sir,
An absolute bearing is when a flight vector is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the center of the galaxy. Whereas a relative bearing is when a flight vector is specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to the vessel's current orientation.
Bearing 258, mark 010 is on the starboard side.
The five areas of responsibility of the Flight Control Officer are;
a. Navigational references/course plotting
b. Supervision of automatic flight operations
c. Manual flight operations
d. Position verification
e. Bridge liaison to Engineering department
The five input modes are;
a. Destination planet or star system
b. Destination sector
c. Spacecraft intercept
d. Relative bearing
e. Absolute Bearing

I have to say that I'm very impressed, cadet. You have showed me some truly spectacular flying. You really know how to control the vessel and there were no major problems you encountered. I'm sure that you are curious about your time...
Your time was, cadet Mann, 2 minutes and..... 45 seconds!!! You beat the old record. Another prove of your capabilities as a flight control officer.
You have passed this final test easily, and therefore, you are hereby officially graduated from Deep Space Academy!
There are a few options you can chose from now:
1. Continue to study at the academy by enrolling in another course;
2. Start to work as Flight Control Officer (Helm Officer) somewhere in the fleet*
*According to the Open Positions List in this forum, there are no vacancies for flight control officer. I would therefore recommend you to pick another course at the academy. By doing this, you increase your flexibility and it gives you better opportunities to get higher up in the fleet.
Please think about your options and let me know as soon as possible.

You get to pilot us safely, you will have to use everything you've learned yesterday. That means, manual piloting, course plotting, and evasive maneuvers. You also have to think about the speed, you have maneuvering thrusters, impulse drive, and also warp drive. Try to combine as much as possible. Good luck, cadet."

- Navigational references/course plotting
- Supervision of automatic flight operations
- Manual flight operations
- Position verification
- Bridge liaison to Engineering department
The FCO is sometimes referred to as 'Conn'. This is also the name for the FCO's console. This console is located on the main bridge of the starship.

*A Constellation-class starship bridge appeared out of thin air. Archer walked towards the front of the bridge*
"Please come over here, cadet. This here, is the Conn. The FCO's console. Since you will become an FCO, please station yourself behind the console, then I will explain you what everything means."
*As Cadet Ghemor settled himself, Archer walked to the other side of the conn, so that he could look the young cadet into the eyes*
"While sitting behind your console, you will get your orders directly from the Commanding Officer at that time. Normally, the actual execution of flight instructions is performed automatically by the computer. It might, however, occur that there is a situation in which manual control is necessary. In case this happens, you have a 'Manual'-section on your console..."
*Archer points out a small, vividly colored, rectangular shaped area on the console*
"...which contains a keypad. With this keypad you can steer the ship yourself, when the ship is in full-manual flying mode.
Here on the right side of your console, you can see the navigational references area. With these controls, you can plot courses, and read information received by the navigational and tactical sensors. This information is critical for your performance as FCO. You have to adjust courses and trajectories with the information you get from those sensors."
*Archer walked towards the Captain's chair and picked up a bottle of water. He drank some of it before returning to the conn. Once back at the conn, he pointed out the largest section of the console, in the middle*
"This is a part of your station that is also not unimportant. With this part, you can communicate with engineering, and also manually override the impulse- and warp-reactions, to adjust flight vectors in emergency situations. This part of the console is also important when there is no engineering officer on the bridge. You can read out all data on the ship's systems. In such a situation, when the engineering officer is not available, it is your responsibility to inform the commanding officer on the engineering systems, by giving status reports.
I have now explained you the responsibilities of a Flight Control Officer and how your station works. I will now start a simulation. You will get the opportunity to get to know the controls. You can fly around as much as you like, to get familiar with flight control. I will leave this classroom now, but please do practice a bit before our next lesson.

1. Navigational references/course plotting
2. Supervision of automatic flight operations
3. Manual flight operations
4. Position verification
5. Bridge liaison to the engineering department
Most of these responsibilities don't need further elaboration, because they are quite clear. The only one that might be unclear, is the first one: navigational references, so I will explain it. The console you are currently looking at, displays readings from both navigational and tactical sensors, overlaying them on current positional and course projections. By reading this information, the FCO can alter direction and plot new courses if necessary."
"The specifications for flight paths, can be inputted into the computer by using five different input modes. You can specify a certain planet or star sytem to choose as your destination, but you can also indicate a destination sector. The third mode is to set a course to intercept another -moving- vessel. Finally, you can also specify either a relative heading or an absolute heading. I will explain you all about the last two in a moment. First I would like to ask you if you have any questions, remarks, additions, etc."

Elayeth slowly entered the room, making sure it was the right one, and looked around.
What he saw wasn't all that exciting, a standard classroom with tables and chairs. What he smelt, aside from the faint trace of vomit, was not exciting either. But what he felt was a different matter all together. The potential to once again be someone. His last two hosts were also intelligence officers. One helm, the other tactical. Elayeth had the pilot's instinct within him and felt almost invulnerable in the pilot's seat. Of course, that is how his last host died... but nothing could have been futher from his mind as Elayeth stood to the left of the doorway at full attention before calling, "Wren, Cadet Elayeth, reporting for duty sir."

"Right, I would have also accepted planetary bodies. Your grasping the concept." Looks over at his notes
"Moving along, navigation and headings..." he paused to think.
"When you want to make a heading to oh let's say Jupiter from Earth, you must also plan out your coordinates well."
Turns and writes on the board again
There are several ways to plot a course in 3-dimensional space. One way is to provide a flight vector specified as an azimuth/elevation relative to another flight vector (usually the vessel's current orientation). This method, using the spherical coordinate system, gives the azimuth and elevation values as angles relative to another vector. These angles, the "bearing" and "mark", respectively, are given in degrees, with 360 degrees being equal to one full rotation.
" The terms 'bearing' and 'mark' are easier to recognize if you think about it as 'Bearing 000 Mark 000' this is always known as the current ship heading, follow the bow and you get bearing 000 mark 000."
"Picture the ship in a bubble, there are 2 circles going around the ship, a vertical and horizontal circle. The 'mark' will be your vertical circle and the bearing will be the horizontal"
He looks over to a cabinet where he has a model of a ship standing. "Take a look at this" he moves it closer and begins to draw lines on it with his finger " Top down you should see a clock, port side in numerical form would be 270 degrees and same for starboard as 90 degrees" Gives Ender a second to picture it.
"The exact same form is used for the 'mark' except from the side perspective."
" Let me see if you understand this system, put yourself at helm aboard a ship that is in orbit of a planet, any class planet it doesn't really matter, the ship's current heading is perpendicular with the surface. Tell me what that would be in coordinates, and... what would be a good heading to leave orbit, Remember that you must also give plenty of room as to not graze the atmosphere, it could be dangerous" He smiles and sits down again

Very good.
Now comes the OOC part.
When in a mission that your CO or the High command has created you are allowed to make things up as part of your point of view.
Since you have chosen helm, people think you are doomed to spend eternity responding to the Captain's orders to "take the ship out" or "Dock with a station"
But that doesnt have to be if you follow closely to the mission at hand.
Read what everyone has responded with and put your thoughts into the storyline.
A crewmember that posts regularly is more important than a person who waits for somebody to talk to them.
And if you'd like you can make your own sub-plots (as long as they don't interfere with the main mission)
And it does not matter if it's not riveting, whatever fits in your POV.
You will notice that it is a much more rewarding experience when you have added something.
ON: You are moving along nicely. Were you recruited from a particular division or none at all?
If not, then which division have you chosen to report to when this is all finished?

"I know that starboard is right and port is left, it's just that I haven't been on a ship for some time now. And when I walk down these corridors, I don't go to starboard, but to my right. We would however not go up, but down. You see, if you stay at the same elevation, the mark is 000. That number increases as you go up, 090 being going up 90 degrees. If you continue that circular moving of degrees, 360 is the same as 000, thus 322 will be down. But apart from that, I think you get the idea. Together with the clever remark about starboard and port, and the way I saw you fly, I will promote you to cadet C2."
"The next part of your training covers some battle tactics and maneuvers. The most important series of maneuvers you have to know, are the Alpha, Beta, and Delta series:
Alpha Series Maneuvers
Alpha: Starfleet's most basic offensive maneuver, attack pattern Alpha involves a mostly straight on approach to the target with some slight vectoring to the side based on the ship's weapons compliment and the target's movement.
Beta Series Maneuvers
Beta: The ship dives down between two enemy ships, firing at least once at each of them (and hoping they will miss it and hit each other.)
Beta-2: Approaching the target closely, the ship jinks to the starboard of the target, then dives beneath it to emerge on its port ventral side, firing as it goes.
Beta-3: The ship makes a broad arc turn around one or more ships, attacking them as it goes.
Beta-4: The ship climbs steeply, veering to port or starboard, then quickly dives back down, firing at targets as it goes.
Delta Series Maneuvers
Delta: The ship swoops up from underneath a target to attack its vulnerable ventral side.
Delta-2: The ship swoops over the target from starboard to port, then back again from port to starboard (sometimes diving underneath in the process) firing as it goes.
Delta-3: The ship dives straight down at, or climbs straight up at, the target, firing forward weapons.
Delta-4: An all-out, straightforward frontal attack.
Delta-5: A long, relatively shallow dive to one side of the target (usually whichever way allows the ship to bring the most weapons to bear on the target, or which uses the target ship to provide cover from other ships' attacks)."
"Please try to remember these maneuvers, because you will need them in the rest of your career.
I will now give you a simulation, which deals with everything you learned about navigation, plotting, and you will also need some evasive maneuvers."

"If you would like to be considered for that position, you should try to contact Admiral Tom Hobson (Frontier Division CO), or Captain Marcus Brodie (U.S.S. Unity CO). They will know all about the progress of constructing the vessel and recruiting all necessary crewmembers.
For now, I would like to wish all of luck during your career, and I am sure we will meet again. Good bye, ensign."

I was not revruited from any division sir. As to where I plan to go, I have not really decided quite yet. So far I have thought about the new Vangaurd division the most. It seems to have the most need for officers. Not sure about the other divisions or ships.

Ender deftly manuvered the shuttle through the astroid belt and engaged the warp engines taking them to warp one he again looked down at the panel and noted the panel telling him warp status.
"Approching Neptune dropping out of warp, engaging full impulse"
He then piloted the shuttle close to the planet and sling shoted around the planet
"Would you like to warp back all the way sir or should I give you a ride." he said jokingly

"Clear sir!"

"Excellent, I'm glad you are here. Please take a seat" Begins to write on the board while talking
"Now, you've chosen to become a helmsman, one of the most active persons on the ship. You are responsible for maintaining the position of the ship and directing her to where you need to go. Also, if you are in battle you will be called upon to make manuevers to protect the ship, but we'll get to those later."
Directs the attention to the board
"Here is a listing of things that will be important for you to follow in your first term and thus will be taught":
(Items Listed on the board)
Astronomy
Astrogation:Warp Drive
Astrophysics
Pilot: Starship
"As space is your ocean you must know the stars as if it were your own mother" Chuckles and clears his throat "Seriously, If you input a wrong course in space there are no second chances."
"Ok Mr. Wiggin,First question, What problems might you have in space while plotting a course? what are five things that you could think of?" He finished while sitting back in his chair.

Gives Ender a small bar with 2 stripes on it
(OOC: Take the second year cadet avatar now)
"Computer, initialize program Diaz-alpha-one"
COMPUTER: Program running
The shuttle disappeared into a full starship, Diaz was sitting in the captain's chair and his Cadet was at helm
"This is the USS Tiberon, an Admiral friend of mine gave me this training program"
Pulls his arm console over and begins inputting information
"There are main crew at their posts, they aren't real people so they dont have real names, simply use phrases such as operations, or tactical, you get the idea"
"Set a course for the nuetral zone, any problems or questions Cadet?"

TAC: We're picking up more ships on intercept course Captain!
"Initiate course Dane!"
Diaz Stared at the viewscreen intently, and thought to himself 'Come on, what are you doin here?'
Soon afterward the Romulans returned fire on the Tiberon, impacting the shields and draining them down to 40%. At the same time more ships were inbound from Romulan space.
It seemed that their intentions were not peaceful, they broke the neutral zone with warships.
"Regroup at that M class planet Dane detected, as fast as possible. Ops, send a distress signal to Starfleet, tell them we need reinforcements immediately"
OPS: Underway Capt'n
The Tiberon was still on its evasive course while the two closest ships were restoring their shields and weapons. Although they should have been focusing on repairs considering their engine was severely damaged

Ender ran on to the flight deck and jumped into the Perigrine fighter.
"Requesting clearence!"
(FLIGHT DECK) " Your cleared to go, good luck."
Ender slammed the ship out of the rapid launch bays seeing other fighters launch as he did. They were outnumbered but the enemy vessels appered to be taking more damage.
=^= Ensign Wiggin to Tiberion, whats your status?"=^=

Cadet Wiggin, first of all I would like to apologize for keeping you waiting so long. The flight instructor a couple of months ago, has left expansion fleet, without telling anyone. I have been here for only two weeks now, and I'm still busy cleaning up the 'mess' the previous CO has made. I have looked back at your performance during the flight simulation, and it appeared to me that you are a very good starship pilot. That alone is reason for me to let you graduate from the academy. I have, however, also seen that you have command capabilities. This is highly appreciated within the fleet. I haven't come across a talented young man like you for a long time.
Hereby you are graduated from the academy, excelling in Flight Control/Helm. You are granted the full rank of ensign. You may change your avatar to match your newly achieved rank.
The next thing you have to think about is how you want to continue your career. There are basically two options:
1. Continue studying at the academy in another course as cadet C4;
2. Leave the academy and find a position in the fleet. According to the open positions list (which you can also find in the academy forum), there are no open positions in Helm. You could however ask on some ships if this has been changed. You could also report to SS Avalon to see if they need someone like you. If you'd like, I could write some sort of a recommendation letter to the senior officer of the ship/station you would like to work.
Whichever option you prefer, I will always be there to guide and help you and I wish you good luck in your further career.

We are currently moving Avalon Station, and I am one of the leading officers in that mission. Therefore, I will first have to finish the mission before I can start here, with your training. "
