Lt Sineade Darnell Sineade didn't know how many of these special weapons they would need to make, so she grabbed a hovercart and placed 6 antimatter containers carefully on it. Once that was done she pushed the cart out of antimatter storage, out of engineering, and into the closest lift.
Lt. Flower Sheme ::in a lift with Joy as they were just told to get to the torpedo bay:::
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::taps her foot wishing the lift would hurry up::
Lt. Flower Sheme not so patient are you?
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi I'm fine ....Ok so patients isnt one of my finest qualities
Lt Sineade Darnell The lift seems to take forever before she arrives at the torpedo bay and pushes the cart out and then waits for the others to arrive. Knowing her patience is going to be tested with all the waiting.
Lt. Flower Sheme I know you want to get to work on our new torps. It appears the Commander wants us to always work together on the torps and make more available, as his new toys
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Yea it would seem, we do work good as a team. I like things that go boom.
Lt. Flower Sheme yes we make a great team.
Lt Sineade Darnell ::pushes the cart into the torpedo bay and sets it out of the way for now. Pulls out a couple of torpedoes and begins to get them ready, Sets down the spare tools for Flower near one:: You'd think this sort of thing would already be in the arsenal.
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::exits the lift with flower grinning::
Lt. Flower Sheme what is so funny?
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Means I get to design new torpedoes ::grins::
Lt. Flower Sheme This will be fun!
Lt Sineade Darnell ::looks over as the other ladies enter:: So, I guess House wants a few more toys to play with!
Lt. Flower Sheme “That is what he ordered. Oh! I see my set of tools!"
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Boys and their toys right?
Lt. Flower Sheme That is so true. So, I was chatting with Tinker about how we can spend time together
Lt Sineade Darnell ::smiles:: Yes, Petal Girl, those are for you.
Lt. Flower Sheme Hey I thought you were calling me Tank
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Flower power?
Lt. Flower Sheme No, Tinker was starting to cal me Tank, to go with Thinker, and Tinker
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::moves over to the torpedos that Sineade pulled out:: Deactivating security systems.
Lt Sineade Darnel ::giggles:: well, Then Thinker and Tank, Let’s get to work. Just how many of these things are we supposed to make? There's one more Klingon cruiser and then who knows how many smaller vessels to deal with.
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Maybe half dozen? I don’t know.
Lt Sineade Darnell ::glances at Joy a little surprised:: Does House really want that many? We can sort of start and assembly line.
Lt. Flower Sheme he never told us how many
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi I am assuming we can always keep them for other missions
Lt. Flower Sheme That would be one good idea
Lt Sineade Darnell That makes sense. ::begins to open the access panels on the torpedoes:: We’ll be experts at this before we're done ::chuckles::
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::chuckles:: Maybe able to this in under ten minutes in the future
Lt. Flower Sheme ::purss as her tail curls up fast, as she gets to work on a torp, with her tools:: I hope you dont mind if I just claim this set as mine?
Lt Sineade Darnell ::laughs:: I don't but CJ might have something to say about it. ::removes the panel and gets started on removing the computer card:: Besides I think we need to get something a bit more special for you. ::passes the card to Joy for her to do her thing.
Lt. Flower Sheme You mean, like I gave you?
Lt Sineade Darnell ::nods:: something like that!
Lt. Flower Sheme ::purrs some more:: need my paw print?
Lt Sineade Darnell ::smiles:: I will! Probably have to wait a little, until after the War games are over.
Lt. Flower Sheme perhaps
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::starts work on programming the guidance systems::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::nods and gets quiet as she begins the task of removing the warhead::
Lt. Flower Sheme ::helps Sineade:: you shouldn’t do it by yourself Tinker.
Lt Sineade Darnel ::shakes head:: We each did one before. No reason we can't now.
Lt. Flower Sheme Call it friendly advice. We still have to survive our torture therapy session after shift
Lt Sineade Darnell I have a feeling that we will be missing that today. We've done enough 'moving' with this little project. ::sets the sling in place and removes the warhead from the housing:: My only worry now is storing these warheads. We can't just leave them in the slings. And besides, there aren't enough slings to do as many as House wants.
Lt. Flower Sheme Again he never gave us an amount to make
Lt Sineade Darnell ::purses her lips as she ponders the problem in her mind:: I think I can make a rack that will safely secure the warheads. Or we can use a transporter buffer.
::switches out one of the antimatter containers for the warhead:: Ok Joy, this one is waiting on guidance
Lt. Flower Sheme ::helps get another warhead off::
Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Ok Here is the guidance system ::handing it to Flower::
Lt. Flower Sheme ::takes the guidance system and hooks it in;;
**Story Note: Several hours pass as the team continues after finishing the second two EMP Torepoes. The three worked well together and as a team they were able to complete the re-purposing of an additional 4 torpedoes before they stopped making a total of six. **
Lt Sineade Darnell Sineade looked at the others, her weariness evident in both her facial expressions and her constant shifting on her feet. "I think that's all I can do for now. My hip is really starting to complain about standing all this time. How are you doing Tank? Your back must be equally painful." She turned to Joy, "And I am sure standing all this time hasn't been all that easy on you either."
Lt. Flower Sheme Flower felt her back screaming. All the lifting she had been doing wasn’t easy for her to handle, "I have to agree Tinker My back isnt as young as it used to be. Maybe we should take a break."
Lt Sineade Darnell Sineade nodded, "I think we can call it quits. We have 4 more specials complete. And I still need to rig a more secure storage for the other warheads. "
Lt. Flower Sheme Flower leaned against the torp, with her back, "We can do more later," she said.
Lt Sineade Darnell "Much later," Sineade said as she rubbed her stiff muscles along her hip and thighs, "We've been at it for hours. I think we all need a good night's rest. And I definitely need to get off my feet." Looking over at the other two women she smiled, "I think a meal and a few drinks might be in order too."
Lt. Flower Sheme "This definitely wasn’t light duty Our doctor will not be pleased with us,;" she purred.
Lt Sineade Darnell Sineade gave a huff, "Right now, I doubt the good doctor will have too much to say. We were given orders and we followed them. And right now, I just don't care what Nightwing has to say, I am too tired!"
Lt. Flower Sheme "I will help you back to Engneering," Flower limped over
Lt Sineade Darnell "Oh Heck no! CJ will put me to work! My duty shift ended about an hour ago, " Sineade said as she a FLower limped together, "I'm heading for the lounge. Food and a drink are in order."
Lt. Flower Sheme Flower limped with her friend as they left the torpedo bay.
Lt Sineade Darnell Sineade smiled as Joy walked along and they made their exit together.
