"Good, full speed toward Starphoenix Base!"
*Then he turns to Brooks.*
"Mr. Brooks, how would you feel about a position on the new base, once it's ready? I myself am supposed to take command of t he asteroid base, but I can always use a helping hand of one of my trusted officers. And Mr. Chekov is more than capable of handling the ship."

OFF: this should lead to a position on the future base for you Max Brooks, since you didnt want this char to be too active. Unless you changed your mind of course and wanna stay http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF2: i dunno who is our helm officer really? lol

OFF3: Chekov is currently on holidays and might not post much, or at all. He'll be back when he returns http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"You are one of a kind, Mr. Huw. But it is good to see you whole and healthy once more. Dr. Becker certainly has a done a good job. Very well, take your station and make me a report on the necessary repairs. I'd like to get going to Starphoenix Base as soon as possible."

"Let us start by getting the ship inside the asteroid. Then it will be time, at last, to take command over the station myself, and transfer command of this ship to Mr. Chekov. Helm, take us inside the asteroid."

"Good point indeed, Ms. Voya. Very well.. Mr. Chekov and Ms. Voya, assembe an away team and make it so."

"Very good. Then the interior building work can begin now. All equipment, materials and systems are ready in our cargo bays, we have but to set up the plating against the rock walls inside the asteroid, and then begin the transportation of the inner skeleton of the base. Is the hole opening large enough yet for the ship to pass inside? That way, when inside, we can work more accurately on the finer details."

OFF: yes lets speed up things a bit lol

OFF: lets speed this up a little bit.

*At that moment, the panel next to Svensson's chair beeps to indicate they have arrived at their destined coordinates.*
"Mr. Mason, take us out of warp. All personnel, report please, repairs must be completed as soon as possible."

OFF: and with "all personnel report", I mean that everyone next to me and Chekov should report so I know who's still with us lol.

"Good. Let's just add the final touch. All seems to have gone well."

"Previous medical officer? Dr. Becker should be around in sickbay somewhere."

OFF: Becker, still around? http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Ah, that will be the tricky part, Mr. Brooks. It needs to be constructed as fast as possible. When the base is constructed, it can be completely hidden from sensors and unwanted visitors, but as long as we are in the phase of construction, that won't be possible, and we will easily draw attention. Any ship that passes through the sector will be able to detect us with long-range scanners, and we must avoid that at all costs."

OFF: by the way, the Lancelot is finally underway, so it would be good if the repairs are done now, and we can set course to starphoenix base http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Yes, everything goes according to plan. Make it so, Mr. Huw."

"Mr. Chekov. Good to see you again, I see you have kept my ship in good order. We're on course now to the asteroid field of the Dark Passage. Ahh, Mr. Voya, good job once again as undercover agent on Starphoenix Base. I have now managed to get us a new Section 31 agent there, their security officer John Bostic. He's quite capable. And besides, Ms. Voya, we need your expertise here now on this ship. Ah, yes, assignment. Let's see if there is time. Helm, ETA?"

*Svensson and Chekov return from their meeting in Svensson's ready room.*
"Mr. Mason, when we have reached our previous coordinates, go to a full stop so we can finish  the repairs on the ship. Who is our chief engineer on duty?"

OFF: *yawn*

=^= Thank you. Svensson out =^=

"Allright, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Chekov, you are with me. Mr. Mason, you have the bridge. Mr. Huw keep an eye out on things."
*Svensson, Brooks and Chekov head toward the transporter room.*

"Hmm... perhaps not a bad idea. What do you know about this technology, ensign Huw?"
