Chapter Six
Disclaimer: I do not Own…obviously since Spock is not doing something very Un-Vulcan.
A/N: so sorry if its hard to read I typed it up on my cellphone~see how dedicated i was the idea came to me when there was no computer around so I sat an emailed myself for over an hour!
She sighed finally, relenting under his warm fatherly smile of pride—he wanted the best engineer she would give him the best engineer.
"Mr. Spock," captain pike greeted the vulcan when he came out of the lift. Madana glared at pike, he knew how much she hated that man.
"Captain," he replied going to his console, "Madana," he nodded at her. She glared. He had the audacity to look at her when he replied but he didn't give the captain the same attention! "Egineering reports ready for launch." He looked at her again raising his brow slightly and smirking.
"Thank you." Captain pike said, he did his little walk around his chair, something he always did in class, it was like his signature move. He turned to adress the bridge. "Ladies and gentlemen, the maiden voyage of our newest flagship deserves more pomp and circumstances than we can aford today. Her christening will just have to be our reward for a safe return. Carry on." He sat and pressed a button on the armrest. Madana thought it was highly illogical to have buttons that did things on the armrest. "All decks. This is captian pike. Prepare for immediate departure." He clicked the button again and leaned on the other armrest. Maybe captain pike knew how illogical it was to have the buttons on armrest as well. "Helm, thrusters."
"Moorings retracted, captain. Dock control reports ready. Thrusters fired. Seperating from spacedock.." the helmsman pushed a lever up slowly. "The fleets cleared the spacedock, captain. All ships ready for warp." Madana could feel the U.S.S. Enterprise humming with life under her feet. Like a sentinet being it sang its birth and arrival to space. Madana was close to tears it was so beautiful, like the songs of extinct humpback whales of earth.
"Set course for vulcan." The captain ordered.
"Aye-aye, captain. Course laid in."
"Maximum warp. Punch it."
The helmsman pushed another lever forward. Madana could hear the stall, she watched as the other ships shot forward and dissapear into warp space. The lieutenant had made a cadets error and forgot to disengage the external inertial dampener.
Pike gave him a look that was a cross between amused and annoyed."lieutenant, where is helmsman mckenna?"
"He has lungworm, sir, he couldn't report to his post. I'm hikaru sulu."
"And you are a pilot, right?"
"Very much so, sir. I'm not sure what's wrong here."
"Is the parking brake on?" Pike asked trying to ease the lieutenants anxiety by making a light joke that was older than him. Madana knew this to be a human action to calm down the other since it was obviously his first attempt at flying a flagship.
"No. I'll figure it out. I'm just..." sulu smiled, taking a deep breathe, the captain wasn't furious and kicking him off the bridge. He checked everything major and still didn't see the problem. Parking break indeed.
"Have you disengaged the external inertial dampener?" Madana asked. When pike smiled at her and glanced between her and spock, she realised they had spoken at the same time.
Hikaru tapped a serious of buttons frowning but he turned to give her his thanks, the same could not be said to spock. Madana loved and hated the touch screens that were all around the ship. Call her paranoid but if power was shut off, the safetie's and back ups were all in the computers. Nothing outside. It was something she was developing with scott before he was temporarily booted to delta vega. She would have to convince the captain to stop by there after they solved the paranoid vulcan problems.
"Ready for warp sir,"
"Let's punch it,"
"Egines at maximum warp. Captain."
"Russain whiz kid, what's your name? Chanko? Cherpov?" Pike joked. Madana knew he was joking because he had a pretty good memory when it came to students and crew members. He could probably recite all the names who had served under him and tell you who had died and what their family was currently doing.
"Ensign chekov, pavel andreievich, sir."
"Fine, chekov, pavel andreievich. Begin ship wide mission broadcast."
"Yes, sir. Happy too." Madana giggled at his young enthusiasm. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He turned to the computer screen and tapped it awake. " ensign authorization code nine-five-wictor-wictor-two."
I/authorization not recognized/I
"Ensign authorization code nine-five-" he made a face as he bit his tongue."victor-victor-two." Madana knew how hard the russian teen found pronnouncing his 'v(s)''.
I/access granted intra-ship communication active/I
The human expression for what he did next was 'smile for the camera' before he adopted a serious face like he was about to give you the easiest way to remember the answers to a test because his brilliant mind had already rapped itself around it.
"May I have your attention, please? At 2200 hours, telementry detected an anomaly in the neutral zone. What appeared to be a lightning storm in space. Soon after, starfleet received a distress signal from the vulcan high comman. That their palnet was expireincing saismic activity. Our mission is to assess the condition of vulcan and assist in evactuations if neccesary. We should be arriving at vulcan within three minutes. Thank you for your time."
