Weapons test at DS19

DS19 Station Log
Commodore RoBobby McMillan reporting

GalaxyFleetCommand DS19 Ops

Although no tests were planned, Ensign Zeus Elman wished to test DS19’s weaponry, to make sure all the weapons were in working order. A smart precaution too, because being this close to the rift in the multiverses, you never know what can come out. Commander Kaori Juliesse, the station’s Commanding Officer, agreed, so I decided to help out as well.

First up, was setting the weapons into simulation mode.

Not a difficult thing to do, but necessary nonetheless. To test the station’s weapons for real is just too dangerous. Ensign Elman started up the automated firing sequence, while Commander Juliesse and myself scanned for abnormalities. We are pleased to report there were no serious flaws, however a few anomalies in the starboard phaser relays peeked our interest.

It was decided to test the weapons some more, this time with a moving target. Somewhat reluctantly, I volunteered: the new Delta Flyer I had acquired from Starfleet Command still needed to be tested.

I made my way to the hangar, and flew into space. Commander Juliesse counted down to the start of the second weapons test… and before I knew it, the entire space around me was filled with torpedoes and phaser beams. Even though the weapons were set to simulation mode, I felt as if I shouldn’t be out here!

The test was  a success, of course: my Flyer’s systems indicated that if this had been real, the small craft (and me in it) would have been destroyed at the opening volley!

When I returned to OPS though, I found Commander Juliesse and Ensign Elman discussing what to do next. Apparently, one of the station’s main turrets had been dislodged in the test. This was a serious problem, and even though we couldn’t actually fix it, we could at least collect the necessary data for the engineering teams who would fix it.

A few moments later, we grabbed three Workbee ships and headed out. It didn’t take us long to find the turret, floating in space next to the inner habitat ring. Luckily it was inactive now, but it certainly was something that needed to be repaired soon. So, we started the arduous job of collecting sensor data. It wasn’t spectacular, but someone needed to do it, in order to make the Engineers’ jobs easier.

When we finally gathered all the data, we headed back into the station. As Commander Juliesse sent the data to Engineering, I reported our findings in the station log. Hopefully the Engineering crew will find this report, as well as our collected  data useful.
