Mission: Trial by Fire
Location: U.S.S. Chuck Norris
Timeline: Current

OFF: Let's just move things along to get to the good stuff eh?

ON: (U.S.S. Chuck Norris - Bridge)

There was no more delaying it anymore. The Chuck Norris had been slowly approaching their target area for a few days now, and the time had come. No more preparations, or planning. The ship was ready, the crew was ready, the materials were ready for the fight that was about to come. It was not a battle in the normal sense. No lives were going to be lost, however the ship and her crew had to fight now for the honor of the ship, as well as the Defiant class herself. These were big shoes, roles and so much was on the line. However, as Aurther looked around the small table at the back of the bridge, he felt an overwhelming feeling of confidence in his crew.

"I take it all the modifications and fabrications are completed Lt. G'ginloss?" Winters asked.

"Yes sir, I pushed all my of the teams to the limits, but we have fabricated enough of the materials for this hazard team. We also we able to refit one of our shuttles to meet the specifications that were in the computer, as well as what you have laid down for us too. I don't know exactly what you're planning, but I don't think I want to be on that thing when it does, whatever it is going to do."

"It's going to one for the books I hope." Winters smirked back, before turning to Pibb and Collier, "And I assume that that training you have been able to do over the last few days will suffice for now, until we see if this experiment works and we can possibly implement it for further use?"

"It will do for now, I can guarantee that we are trained as good as we can be, considering all the factors we had to work in." Pibb remarked.

"With more time, I know I could whip them into a more effective fighting force." Collier added as all eyes turned to him, "But for this operation, it will, as you said, suffice."

"It's all I can ask from this crew, is to be as good as we can be." Aurther checked down on his console, and after a few quick presses of a few buttons, he addressed his senior staff again. "We have now entered the engagement zone. Be sure to cut off all communication inboard or outboard now. We run radio silent."

"Yes sir." Riley nodded before noting her log.

"Sir, what about Lt. Wyatt?" Pibb asked.

"Again, I have to trust he did what was needed to be done in the moment. I have alerted Starfleet command about the situation so they can dispatch a few ships to look for him. However it was agreed upon that we can't do anything in our current situation, so keep on course and if he is not found by the end, we will begin our own search. Now, I know that may be pressing in your mind, but he has gotten himself out of worse situations than this. Keep your minds focused, an entire Starship line may be relining on our actions right now. I don't know about you, but I know that the Defiant class starships will be needed in the future. Now assume your posts, and set condition yellow throughout the ship."
