Project West Virginia

[Akhetaten]

"You heard the radio lads, it seems West Virginia has suffered complete engine failure. Mary, I want you on navigation, Marcus; make sure all systems are go for launch." Christopher picks up the radio a few moments later "Control this is Captain Edwards, all systems are fully functional, our engines are on and we are exiting drydock three. Edwards out." Christopher turns off the radio "Emanuel, Howard, I need you two on the hangar, get to the shuttle, you will be boarding West Virginia for repairs. I hope you aware the Virginia is also an Osiris-class ship, so you'll have no trouble taking a look at what's wrong with their engines. I want the problem solved double time, lets be as proficient and professional as possible, understood? Christopher says as he looks at the two young Lieutenants. "Yes sir, we will do our best." Christopher looks at them in the eyes "Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go out there and do their jobs efficiently. Now off we go." He nods at the two men, signaling them to leave and head to the hangar, as he follows them in this last minute decision of him to join the two men. He nods to Marcus, and he understands that command of the ship is now in his hands.

"West Virginia, this is Marcus Adams, second in command of the Akhetaten. We have you on our scanners and are approaching your position. Please stand by, a shuttle will be coming your way with an engineer team and Captain Edwards on board. Lets hope whatever they can fix you up, else we'll have to tow you back in Juneau forcefully." The Akhetaten approaches Virginia and comes into a full stop right near the ship. "Shuttle A1-3, this is Marcus speaking, you are cleared for launch, good luck." Marcus' voice echoes from the loud speakers as the hangar bay doors open and the shuttle launches into space, heading towards Virginia's dockbay. "West Virginia, this is Captain Edwards piloting the Shuttle A1-3, we are requesting permission to dock, over."
