"That might be right, Durandal, but we have other capabilities that you don't have. But let's talk about that some other time. We've got work to do now. If you have any other useful suggestions, you are free to share them with us."

"That sounds like a good idea, ensign. Could you run some simulations on the holodeck? If it takes too long, however, we should leave that part out. By the way, what's so interesting about the deck plating?"

Hodson turns to the ensign.

"Kassie I don't think we will run into any problems with anything but if we do we should rerout the weapons system to the sheilds and inertial dampers for a smoother ride, what do you think?"

=^= "Kassie to Operations.  We are set down here, but I must tell you if the station cant put up with the strain of the warpfield, in anyway, I will to insist we pull the station out of warp to give time to make the needed repairs.  Also I suggest that repair teams be standing by as well as a secondary precaution." =^=

Kassie's tone had changed to a more assured person as she waited for a reply.

*Archer re-entered Main Engineering, after having discussed some things with Vice-Admiral Julian and Captain Ransom in Ops. He was closely followed by a crewman from the Windsor, Biggins.*

"Thank you for helping us out in this, crewman. What we're going to do is move the station from its current location to the planet Dantor. The reasons for this are not relevant for the work you are going to perform. The plan is to move the station in the same way as Deep Space Nine was moved to the Bajoran Wormhole some years ago. They modified the deflector shields of the station to create some kind of a balloon-effect. So basically what they did, was lowering the mass of the station, so that it can be transported more easily. Besides Avalon Station's own thrusters, we will use several starships, including the Windsor and the academy's vessel the Lhasa. Those ships, together with some runabouts and flyers, will tractor the station to its new home. These tractor beams will also be important for the structural integrity of the station. Because that is one of the biggest risks in this mission: structural integrity. Your job will be to help us recalibrate the deflector shields and reinforcing the structural integrity field of the station. Any questions? If not, any suggestions?"

"You know, you humans are some real pieces of work. You program me to help you, but when I make a suggestion, I don't get the time of day. God forbid, you take advantage of my processing and theoretical capabilities, which are quite beyond your own."

"I dont appreciate your tone with me, Captain.  Also I dont appreciate my calculations being questioned in the manner which you just said.  So if you have a problem with my Calculations then its your problem not mine!.  So dont come down here and start taking over in an area that you probly know nothing about.  This was my idea to use the shields and I will make the calculations as I see fit.  So if you dont mind Ill take care of this in whatever fashion we all agree upon.  As far as im concerned Captain, Archer is in charge of this project not you."

<Turning to Archer>

"This is what im talking about, higher ranking officers disrespecting the lower ranks for doing our jobs and when we try to do our jobs the higher ups come bursting in to take over.  This wont do, im here to do a job, not to be ridiculed and disrespected in such a manner and have my intelligence insulted!"

*Walks over to the Jefferies tubes in a angry manner and heads up to Intersection 5, jefferies tube 8, and seals the access tubes with an encryption that would take hours to break, Kassie sat there in the intersection trying to meditate, but the thoughts of how the rude captain disrespected her kept running threw her mind*

*Returns the smile*

"My father is the Cheif Engineer on the ex USS Evolution.  Hes currently at the trial between Taurik and Sanchez vs starfleet it seems.  I was brought onto the Rivendell when the Evolution and Rivendell hooked up.  Sense I have aptitude in almost every field, Captain Taurik agreed to give me the rank of Probational Ensign.  I hope to gain the rank of full ensign soon.  I have skills in computer hacking, engineering, helms, im great with a Bath'lith, and I tend to hurt myself when I run threw my programs, the Rivendell Doctor insists I see him atleast once a month now to make sure things are going good.  Oh sorry im rambling.  If your curious, I accept the emotions of humans.  I like to be logical but being logical all the time stinks.  Besides the entire command staff for the Rivendell has Vulcans on it, so I think they bring up the majority of the logic where I miss out."

"I think you should join the Rivendell crew.  Just think about it." <Smiles at mann as she looked at him up and down then returned to her work>

*Kassie went to the propulsion console to make sure everything was alright, then called over to the ensign who was watching the integrity field*

"Ensign, let me know the moment the starbases structure base starts to waver."

"You do the same, Mann.  The moment the shields fequency gets below 50%, we need to drop out of warp and proceed on impulse power.  Understood?" Kassie said with a hint of a smile on her face as she looked at the Andorian.

OOC**I think your Andorian :)

<Turns to Archer>

"Cmdr Freeman helped with the repairs and got it to work.  Mann was able to fix the shield matrix but somehow it failed to activate, then I got worried and called Freeman down to help sense hes my superior, he went into the jefferies tubes and fixed the problem, then he fell unconscious and was beamed directly to sickbay.  I activated the shields and there operating again, the repair teams are almost done with there repairs and we should beable to get underway in less then an hour, Sir."

*After Archer fixed the communication problem, he went to ops to inform Admiral Julian. When he didn't find him there, he returned to engineering. When he entered Main Engineering, he saw Admiral Julian, who had apparently just entered there as well.*

"Admiral, I found you. As you may have noticed we dropped out of warp half an hour ago. Ensign Kassie is trying to find out what caused this to occur so suddenly."

*Archer turned around to Kassie*

"Did you find out anything, ensign?"

*Turns back to Julian*

"Ensign Mann and Commander Hodson are currently repairing the shields, and Commander Freeman is working on the propulsion systems. There was quite some damage to the shields, and some secondary systems, like communications, were offline as well. Repairs are progressing well and my guess is that we can go to warp again in about 90 minutes. We're approximately .05 lightyears from Dantor. Once back in warp, we will reach Dantor in about 4 and a half hours."

*Looks at the Computer Screen Showing Avalon Station*

Sir, we can get started on this but there is going to be somthings that need to be done first. the Lower Decks 275 to 500 are to be Evacuatated and Decompressed which will help in Reducing the Station Weight also we will Modiy the Force Feilds for the Space Doors to Help with the Seilds also the starbord Shields will be Modifyed to Push the Station at a Speed of 75 KpH which will Help with the Thusters also Most of the Station will be Running on Emerecey Lighting as most of the Power will be Transfered to the Thustered and Sheilds.to Modfiy the Shields them Selfs will take 1 1/2 Days  as we have to re wire the Sheild Grids and Modfiying the Deflector will take 2 1/2 Days  a total of 4 Days before we will be any shape  to move the Station also it will Take only 2 Hours from with the Captian Said the Secondaty Core can Power 50% to 75% of the Sheids and Deflectors.

"Yes sir, I think we should try to first get the shields to withstand warp speed beyond warp 4, because if that can be achieved with the help of one or 2 ships using tractor beams we should beable to move the station if need be with lil effort, so we should try to find a way to direct all power reverse the shields to point inward.  If we transfer enough power from non essential systems, we should beable to make it like the station was light as a feather, there for easily moveable.  Hmmmmm I wonder.  We could also try and maybe use several ships to extend there shields around the station at different points, to share the warp field stress while the station is in orbit, to relieve the station structural integrity of the pressure, and to ensure that the station has additional power when we get to Dantor.  Whatcha think, Sir.  Of course, my ideas have never been tested tho."

"The shield generators have all been recalibrated and are at maximum efficiency Sir.  I think perhaps if I could program one engineering station here to be the main control and monitoring point for the shield generators during the journey that will help expedite any problems encountered.  Locate the problems quickly and lock them down before we run into more complicated problems that could cause delays."

Thirty-six hours pass and with the help of Captain Archer and his team, Starbase Avalon was now ready to be moved to the planet Dantor. Vice Admiral Julian congratulates the team on doing a great job, but ahead is the biggest test, moving the station.

Post by: Kassie on July 31, 2006, 05:21:25 PM
<Turns to face Mann>

"We need to figure out how to strengthen the shields more.  Hmmmmm.  Mann, start trying to find extra power from none essential systems, draw power from weapons, power down all none essential systems, then tone life support down to the bare minimum, reroute that power to sheilds."
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Morgan Freeman on August 03, 2006, 10:05:56 PM
"First of all, you can't blame yourself for Mann he knew what he was doing.  Second, to get us back underway, lets divert the shield generators away from the shield grid and into the structural ingerety field.  The SIF system was designed to handle that kind of stress anyway so the EPS power system attached to it sould work like a champ.  

The catch is we have to reroute it through the main system, which looks like its currently about 30 degrees C higher then it should be right now.  I will go in a containment suit and reroute, Kassie I want you to be ready with briggs and stratford to activate the new field as soon as I make the cross connection.  Understood?"

"If bypassing the main shield grid solves the problem, we should do it. For the last part of the journey, we should not take any unnecessary risks, so we should indeed minimize power usage by shutting down some systems and also lower the life support systems. We're gonna need all power available for the SIF, shields and propulsion. Make it so, Commander."

Post by: Eugene Archer on August 10, 2006, 12:11:56 PM
"So what you're saying ensign, is that if the safety system wouldn't have kicked in, the station would have exploded? Well, if the safety system is still online, I think we can just go to warp again, and if the station is to explode again, the safety system will kick in again. So I don't see any reason why we shouldn't leave again. I would, however, like you to run a level 3 diagnostic on all station's systems, before we leave again, ensign. Just to be sure. That should take no more than 20 minutes. Use all crewmen you need. We cannot take any unnecessary risks.

Post by: Durandal on July 21, 2006, 01:13:46 AM
"If I might suggest something? Your method of reducing the station to zero mass is nearly identical to the process used by a starship's warp nacelles to alter the ship's mass to a negative value. With a slight tweak, we could get the station to propel itself at warp. Other ships could follow closely, using tractor beams to augment the structural integrity."
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Eugene Archer on July 23, 2006, 10:03:03 PM
=^=Archer to Admiral Julian. This is the status of the mission: Biggins, Mann, Kassie and I are working down here in engineering. We have discovered a way to propel the ship at warp speed. We are currently recalibrating the shields, and crewman Biggins is working on the structural integrity field. If work isn't delayed in any way, we should have the station ready for transport within 48 hours. I'm still waiting for crewman Biggins' answer to my question about how long it's gonna take to move the station at warp 4, which will be the maximum speed at which the station won't collapse. THe only other thing left to do after that, is checking if all the assisting vessels' tractor beams are modified sufficiently to ensure structural integrity of the station during transport. I will report back to you in 12 hours. Archer out.=^=

"No need to apologize for something like that. It is of the utmost importance to get the station to Dantor, but if the station is badly damaged during the journey, it would all have been just a waste of time."

"Crewman Biggins came up with an idea to propel the station at warp speed, using the Windsor's secondary warp core. The maximum speed we will be able to reach, is warp 4. According to Ensign Kassie's calculations, we will have to drop out of warp several times during the journey, to reinforce the shields. She is currently calculating how much time the journey will take, when taking all calculations into consideration. What is the current status of the shield generators?"
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Kassie on July 25, 2006, 10:24:11 PM
"Sir, my calculations say that it will take roughly 20 hours to move the station, longer if we run into problems."

Post by: Julian on July 26, 2006, 12:21:20 PM
hmm i think on that note we will work together and organise that, however lets leave that til the station is set up. Please meet me in ops once this has been done
Off: dont type anything unless your agreeing cause im gonna get Will to use the event horizon to speeden things up a bit :)

*Kassie wasnt her usual self, infact she looked like she was about to break down and start crying, she was also scrambling around as crewmen and ensigns were running every which way to try and figure out what went wrong*

"Sir, I needed your help so I requested you down here.  I brought up the idea to reverse the shield polarity to make the station lighter, like a feater on the sea, well it worked, for a short time.  The shield matrix on I believe the starboard side began to fail, Mann went to try and fix it but the containment fields didnt activate and Mann was caught in the heat blast but he was able to fix the problem temporarily, I think an EPS conduit blew near the shield matrix on the starboard side which forced me to do an emergency engine shut down of sorts, but I had to force the station out of the warp field.  Ensign Mann is in the medical bay.  We still arent sure what exactly went wrong.  I feel its my fault Mann got hurt sense it was my idea to do this reversing of the shields idea, sir."
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Gunn Mann on July 31, 2006, 06:29:25 PM
*Facing Kassie*

"I concur, even though shields have stabilized I suspect that will not last forever."

*Mann then moves over to another engineering panel and begins to feverishly work on rerouting power to the shields*

"Ensign Kassie I am rerouting power from all food replicators, diverting 50% power from weapons and then I shall draw from life support, hopefully the drain from life support will not be untolerable."

"Keep an eye on those shield generator temperatures, we can't afford any thermal breakdown at this moment!"

=^=Mann to Fleet Captain Archer, Sir, things are a bit of a mess down here right now.  I.....trying...........no response from..........should be able..........and return to...........=^=

*Mann turns to Kassie*

"Kassie, I don't know how much of that message the Fleet Captain got, but I think we will need at least 2 hours to repair this overload then return to warp.  I am going to the Jeffries Tube Junction C-47 to install this new synch relay, it should allow us to rebuild the shield intensity."
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Morgan Freeman on August 09, 2006, 02:07:50 PM
Freeman walks up the to the admiral and Captain Archer

"Thruster packs are working fine on the station and the tractor / SIF enhancements are working fine.  All we need to do is bypass the main shield grid entirely, then it won't keep overloading and we can be on our way.  Also, I recommend shutting down all non essental systems."
Title: Moving SS Avalon
Post by: Morgan Freeman on August 10, 2006, 05:42:01 PM
Freeman finished running the diagonstic that Archer ordered.  

"Sir, the safety sistem kicked in due to a momentary drop in the SIF power system.  It dropped 115% past safety's.   It was due to the power transfer.  I have corrected the problem and we are fine to proceed to Dantor."

*While Ensigns Mann and Kassie were busy preparing and working at consoles, Archer walked around engineering a bit, left engineering for ops occasionally, but he also had to think about his duties at the academy. Luckily, it is not a busy time at the academy, so that he could put all of his effort into moving the station.
After having worked at an engineering console for about half an hour, he stood up and walked directly to where Mann was working*

"I've done some mathematics myself, and I've calculated that at warp 4, without having to drop out of warp to repair the shields, the journey will take about 10 hours. That, however, would not be realistic because of the necessary stops we have to make regularly to reinforce the shields. We should also take into account that there are some assisting vessels that have to move at exactly the same speed. I reckon, that when you take all this into account, we should be able to get the station to Dantor in about 14 hours."

OOC: Well spotted I am indeed Andorian ;)

IC: *Mann listens to Ensign Kassie's story keeping one eye on the console and always watching her out of the corner of his other eye.  Mann noted her smiles coming refreshingly across her face*

"Very interesting story Ensign Kassie.  And no I do not think you were rambling.  My story is not quite that interesting.  I ran frieght back in the Alpha quadrant for awhile and wanted more of a challenge.  Always being attracted to Star Fleet I thought what the heck, come out to the Delta Quadrant and join up."

"I suppose I will find my way once this mission is over, I will consider joining the Rivendell you make it sound like a fine ship."

*Mann brings up Ensign Kassie's calculations on the view screen*

"Aye, 50%, brilliant once more, that gives sufficient safety margin to drop the station out of warp yet give us the maximum amount of time at warp.  A wonderful combination of safety and efficiency."

"You know, you're the first Vulcan I have ever seen smile, I must say it suits you very nicely."

*With a quick smile Mann went back to monitoring the shield generators*

"Sir, the boards show green, I dont understand it.  Unless, nooo that cant be it, its impossible."

"Sir, it seems the Safety systems kicked in, but whats more puzzling it seems the Safety system either kicked in because it detected something wrong, or it kicked in cuz it detected an unknown virus in the stations systems, which forced us out of the warp field to prevent the station from exploding, Sir."

"Admiral, as you heard, we are ready to continue. We will reach Dantor in approximately four and a half hour, at a speed of Warp 4. I will return to the Lhasa now, and I will see you all once we've arrived at Dantor."

*Turns around and walks out of Engineering. Once aboard the Lhasa, he calls all vessels:*

"You're doing a great job, crewman. I'm impressed. If you are absolutely sure that we can keep the structural integrity of the station at a high enough level, I'm fine with moving the station at warp. Could you give an indication on how long it would take to make the journey to Dantor at warp 4? I have to get back to the academy in a minute, for a day or so, but I'll stop by Admiral Julian to inform him on the mission status. Can I tell him that we will probably be ready in three days from now?"

"That's sounds acceptable. How long would the journey take in that worst-case-scenario, ensign?"

"By the way, I am willing to listen to everyone's ideas, even ideas from an ensign. And I will certainly not yell at people who have bad ideas. If I would do that, I would spend my entire day screaming, so to speak."

=^= Captain, I think our first drop out should be in 10 minutes, then we will have an hour of vulnerability at impulse, when the hour is up we can re-engage the warp field.  Sir, I was thinking, would it be possible to have the ships who are using there tractor beams to engage there shields to encompass the entire station for say 30 minutes ?, would buy us a longer period at warp and shorter downtime to recharge the stations shields.  The ships extended shields would act as sorta a buffer in a way." =^=

=^= Kassie to Ops and Archer, we are doing an emergency drop out of warp.  I repeat this is an emergency drop out, this may be a lil rough ride.  Get Medics to Manns location immediately, shields are failing, power is being lost somewhere.  I repeat we are exiting warp NOW!.  <Pushes a few buttons on the propulsion panel as the station drops out of warp and containment fields are errected>, Ops, we are safely out of warp.  Damn it, I suggest we do a complete diagnostics and get mann to the medical bay ASAP.  He went to try and fix a shield array problem and his comm cut out.  The area he was working on is safe now and its contained.  I believe we may have to stay longer at impulse then originally expected.  Ill beam him to the medical bay."

*Kassie goes over to another panel and engages a transporter beam, and locked onto Manns commbadge and transported him to the Medical bay*

*The station and ships jumped to warp again, and everything seemed to be going fine. 6 hours and two more drops out of warp later, the largest part of the journey was completed. 15 minutes after the station and ships had engaged their warp drives for what was to be the final time, something shook the entire station, after which it suddenly dropped out of warp. *

*Archer, who was on the Lhasa, saw this happen and he disengaged the warp drive of his vessel.*

=^=Archer to SS Avalon. I thought we wouldn't have to stop anymore until we reach Dantor. Why have you dropped out of warp?=^=

Hodson walks over from the other side of enginiering and goes up to Kassie.

"Here let me give you a hand with that, and sorry about earlier I didn't mean to be rude I was just making a suggestion but I'm sorry. Forgive me?

Hodson helps with the repairs to the station

*Ensign Mann working at his Engineering console looks up at both the Captain and Crewman*

"Captain, I have been running diagnostics on all shield genetors and the matrix.  There are some slight deviations in the synchronization.  I don't think it is a massive problem but I would advise a recalibration.  I should be able to complete it from my station here without impacting the schedule."

"Most people dont take the ideas of an Ensign too well, so if im yelled at I look at the Deck plating and concentrate on that instead of concentrating on the superiors yelling."

"Ive alredy done most of the Calculations and bye my calculations we can do it.  Best case scenario is that it works without much trouble.  Worse case scenario is that it works but we blow some EPS conduits and loose shields in enroute, but I think if the shields starts to fade we drop out of warp and proceed to Dantor on the ships assisting the station, on impulse power.  Then when the shields are at 100% again we can jump into warp again.  If this happens I estimate atleast 4 jumps before we reach Dantor safely, sir."

*Julian was entering engineering to get a status report as he heard Commander Hodson telling ensign Kassie what to do*

Mr Hodson, i will speak with you later.

*follows Kassie through the jefferies tubes and sits on the other side of where she locked herself in*

Ensign come out from there at once and thats an order.

Do not worry your not in trouble. But i need you to be helping Mr Archer with setting the station up. Now you cant help much by sitting in there can you?

I will deal with Mr Hodson. Now hurry and get back to work.

*crawls out of the jefferies tube*

Mr Hudson, i asked you to come down and ask what needed to be done to help. Not to try and take over.

So Captain Archer, how the the old girl hold up if we go to warp with her?

"No, Ensign Kassie I have not decided as of yet.  Right now I am happy to help in moving hte space station.  Oh, and thanks for the advice.  I must say that I am impressed with your abilities, not only in engineering......."

"Well to tell the truth running freight can get a bit well, boring.  Most freighters I was on were usually only staffed with a skeleton crew.  However, there was this one ship I was on with two other humans.  They introduced me to a human sport called football.  We used to go and have kick-abouts all over the ship, tremendous fun.  They even took me to some matches when we took some shore leave on Earth.  Ever since then I have been hooked on that sport.  Ah but look who is rambling now, sorry Ensign Kassie.  Maybe some day you could give some pointers on that......what did you call it?  A Bath'lith?"

=^=I don't think it's wise to do it now, considering the amount of time left till drop-out. I say that we drop out of warp when we have to and then, while you are working on the station's shielding, the other vessels can prepare the envelope-procedure. This way, we will still safe time, along the journey. I reckon it is too dangerous to initiate it while at warp speed. We will have to drop out of warp at the same time, so give us a signal at one minute before drop.=^=

Freeman finished putting on his suit and walked over to the access hatch, opening it he steps inside and starts the walk to the mains.  

After 3 minutes he makes it to the access hatch and tries to open it being rewarded with a access denied by the computer.   He inputs his command override and it warns him about the heat then he walks into his own little version of hell.  It is too hot even with the suit on, but freeman goes about his job anyway.  

After about 15 minutes of cross wiring connections he gets things the way they should be and presses the suits comm unit

=A= Freeman to Kkkassie =A=
Its Rerouted now, activate the new field and the station should become stable

With that said Freeman passes out on the deck.

*Mann then whispers to Ensign Kassie*

"Thanks, for the quick beam out Kassie, I owe you for that one, otherwise that heat would've done me in"

"Probably, she will be able to make it all the way to Dantor. We do, however, need to drop out of warp several times to repair the shield systems. In those periods, we will be extra vulnerable, so we have to pick the spots where we make the stops very carefully. We will be able to reach warp 4. At that speed, and taking the stops into account, the journey will take about 20 hours, according to ensign Kassie's calculations. Ensign Mann here, will monitor the shield generators during the journey and indicate when we need to drop out of warp. I would like ensign Kassie to keep an eye on the propulsion systems. During the stops, Kassie, Mann, and Hodson will all help preparing the station for the next jump into warp. I will have to be on the U.S.S. Lhasa to tractor the station. I recommend that all involved vessels maintain an open comm-link to the station and to each other. At this rate, preparation will be finished in 36 hours, sir."

"Ensign Kassie, if the ships are going to use their shields to envelope us they better make it quick!  Shield integrity decreasing."

*Mann's panel then flashed an alarm and a klaxon sounded*

"Blast!  Shield generator near the sensor array is failing, I better get down there and lock it down"

*Mann picked up an engineering kit and ran out of Engineering, he headed to lower levels of the station in order to try to repair the failing shield generator*

=^=Mann to Ensign Kassie, I am at the junction location for the shield generator, please monitor it's condition and let me know when readings return to nominal, Mann out=^=

*Mann opened the hatchway that led to the shield generator, the heat was instense.  Being Andorian, the heat affected him more than most.  He fought through the intense heat and made his way to the generator.  He took out his scanner and began to take readings*

"Nuts, need to increase the modulation of the phase inductor."

*Mann bagan making the adjustments in earnest*

"Come on baby, get in there, ugh, yes that should do it"

*The adjustments made Mann made his towards the exit*

=^=Mann to Kassie, I have made the adjustments and.....I....think.........................................=^=

*Mann had almost made out of the conduit but the intense heat had overcome him, he lay there not moving*

*After Archer had received the distorted message from Ensign Mann, he tried to respond, but only static could be heard on the station. Communications with the station seemed to be impossible. Therefore, Archer decided to try to beam aboard the station. Since the shields were down as well, he succeeded in that, after which he ran to engineering.*

"What the f*ck is going on here! I thought this was going to be a simple mission, but everything seems to be going wrong! We have to get back to warp asap. I want Mann and Hodson to concentrate on repairing the shields, while Freeman starts working on the propulsion. I want Kassie to find out what caused all this, and to find a way to prevent it from happening again. In the mean time, I will try to fix that communications problem. Now, get to work!"

*And with that, Archer went to the furthest console in Engineering, to work on the communications system. After five minutes, he stood up and walked back to the others.*

"I've found out what the problem with the comm system is. The main local subprocessor has gone offline because of the overload. I will go down there to fix it. After that I will be in ops with Vice-Admiral Julian. I will be back here in 30 minutes."

*And Archer left engineering.*

*Kassie unlocks the jefferies tube and follows Julian into Engineering where she spent the next 36 hours working*

"Thank you Ensign."

<Leans closer to Mann outside of hearshot of Hodson>

"Never do what I just did ensign, sometimes it shocks your superiors when a mere ensign stands up for her belief's.  Dont do that unless you really disagree with your commanding officer."

<Returning to the propulsion console, then goes over to check the shields output where Mann was working>

"So have you decided where you were going to go after you get out of the Academy ?"

"Maybe, Ensign.  But I dont know if your ready for it.  Can be quite the feat trying to work with a Bath'lith and keeping your balance at the same time.  Im not sure if your strong enough for it.  Takes alot of strength and Endurance to use a Bath'lith."

*Entering Engineering, Kassie immediately noticed Archer and went over to him*

"Sir, is there anything you need help with ?.  Admiral Julian sent me down here to assist with the moving of the station.  Is there anything you need help with sir ?.  Like reversing the polarity of the shield matrix and have it pointed inward ?, which bye tests would make the station slightly lighter." <Her voice trailed off as she stared at the deck plating>
