"Jordan, what's our status"
"It just won't start up and I don't know why. The core isn't damaged and it has enough power, it makes no sense."
Alyssa, Sam's first officer, was in charge while Sam was on Risa. Jordan was the chief engineer on the USS Ranger.
"It's these damb sovereign classes; they brought them out too soon before they could fully test them." Jordan complained.
"I agree," Said Alyssa, "but it's a fine ship."
"Wait, give me a moment," said Jordan as he disappeared in to the circuitry of the panel he was working on, "I think I have it..." there was a sudden explosion and Jordan was coming out of the panel, "there ya go" and the computer was back online.
"Is the com system working?" asked Alyssa.
"Only a few decks and short range" said Jordan.
"What about sensors?"
"Working, long and short"
"Good work, check if the caption is near by" Alyssa told a near by ensign.
"The Caption's Yacht is back and it is docked," said the ensign.
"What! Alyssa to the caption."
"Am I glad to hear your voice, where are you?" replied the caption.
"I'm in engineering, and where are you?"
"Deck 10"
"Good, how long will it take you to get here?"
"Are the turbolifts working?"
"Not above deck 7" said Jordan.
"Is there a clear path through the jeffries tubes to get to engineering?"
"Yes, there is a clear path from deck to 15," said Jordan.
"Then we should be there in 10 minutes"
"Wait! Who is we?" asked Alyssa.
"Joe is with me"
"Ok, Alyssa out."
