Project: Akhetaten - Phase One

[Akhetaten]

"I will make sure the Akhetaten is here as quickly as possible, Ma'am. The crew will also be thoroughly informed of the entire project and it's parameters. Thank you, Rear Admiral." Christopher didn't spend much time talking overly much, he knew that he had a lot of work in front of him. He got up and saluted Prower before leaving her office.

Chris fished his PDA from one of the pockets on his suit and called the Akhetaten's XO. "Uhmen, Edwards here, Juneau is ready to receive the Akhetaten. I need you to have the ship here the soonest possible. Give me an ETA on the check-ups." He explained, walking in a fast pace towards the main hangar. "The final check-ups are almost done, Sir, the Akhetaten will be in Juneau within the next thirty minutes." The Lieutenant's familiar voice replied. Edwards nodded to her before shutting down the comm-link and putting his PDA back in his pocket.

He arrived at the hangar, pretty busy for such an hour, but it was to be expected as the engineering crews were gathering around - preparing for the Akhetaten's arrival. Roughly twenty-five minutes later, the ship slowly entered the dry-dock, docking. Christopher walked towards it and hailed Uhmen as he approached the boarding ramp. "We've got lot's to discuss, Mary, lets get on board." He said, as he rested his hand on her shoulder while they disappeared within the hull of the ship - a move that was a good indication of the friendly relationships Edwards kept with his commanding officers.

The next minutes followed with Christopher speaking in detail with his crew about the procedures that will follow and for the next few hours the Akhetaten was slowly stripped of any personal belongings of her crew members, ready to be worked on by the engineering crews.
