Mission: Episode 93 - Warrior VS Warrior
Location: USS Tiripitz-In Spacedock
Timeline: MD4, 2230 hours

ON:


LTJG Daniel Sullivan crawled down the Jeffries Tube on his hands and knees.

Hundreds of kilometers of wiring had to be laid to provide power to new reactor.

On first inspection the hydroponics lab was found to be unsuitable to house the

new fusion reactor. It was too close to the photon torpedo launcher and the

output would wreck havoc with the targeting sensors on the photon torpedoes

and in the event of a battle the close proximity would make it a valuable target.

Instead the arboretum was voted a better alternative. Before the upgrade could

commence all the plants had to be removed. These were to be stored on the

Starbase until a new location could be found for them. The lighting was changed

from heat lamps to standard lighting. Now Sullivan was running new wiring

which would provide the reactor was power from the warp core. This new reactor

would boost phaser power up to the needed 5% and take some the load off the

reactor. Sullivan had another crew installing an overflow buffer which in

conjuction with the deflector shield would boost the shield rating. This is the kind

of work that Sullivan was most happy doing. This was the reason he joined

Starfleet. For close the six hours his team of specialists have been tearing the

Tiripitz apart and putting the ship back together to get her ready to rejoin the

Admiral's fleet. He crawled out feet first from the Jeffries Tube and attached the

wiring into the side of the reactor which had arrived that morning. He looked at

his assistant, a Chief Petty Officer. "Ok it's showtime". The Chief initialized the

reactor and checked the readings.

"Power levels are rising, 35 percent," he intoned. Sullivan whipped out his

tricorder and began monitoring the process.

"65 percent," the Chief called out.

Sullivan checked the readings again. "Looking good Chief. I think we are in

business".

"100 percent and stablizing".

"Outstanding," he tapped his commbadge "Bridge this is Sullivan".

=/\= Go ahead Lieutenant

=/\= Reactor is installed. Run a test on the phaser output. Should be at 105 percent or better".

=/\= Acknowledged

Sullivan double checked the status board while he waited for the bridge crew to

finish running their test. After a few minutes the reply came back from the

Tactical officer.

=/\= Phaser output is at 107 percent.

=/\=Acknowleged, thank you Commander.

Sullivan smiled at the Chief and sent off a report to the Admiral.

"Alright Chief I am going to check on the deflector shield team. Hold it together here."

"Aye aye Sir".
