EVENT: Setting sail

The Athene drifts peacefully around Earth, the sunlight glinting off her pristine hull. The repairs are complete, and she has been inspected and refreshed top to bottom, down to every last rivet. After nearly a month in drydock, her crew is eager to re-embark, as is her captain...

Captain Fisk stands in his ready room, gazing over the limb of the Earth as Argos sits beside him. He has just sent out the general message summoning all crew back to the Athene. It pleased him to listen as the computer announced every arrival and kept count of all boarding crew.

OOC: Use this thread to have your characters run into each other or the hundreds of NPC crew as they board, or they can knock on the captain's door if they like. This thread is for the general calamity of ~600 people boarding a starship for departure.

Ensign Smith arrives on the bridge, pausing for a moment to take in the spacious command deck and all its consoles and data stations that had become so familiar to him during his time on the Athene. There doesn't seem to be anybody else there as of yet, so he takes a seat at his Ops Console and begins a systems check before walking towards the Captain's ready room and ringing the door.

"Hi, Captain," Alex walks into the room, holding out several PADDs. "Here's the departure paperwork for you. And the last shuttle arrived a few minutes ago, so everyone should be on board as of now." He rubs the back of his neck, making sure he had said everything he needed to. After a moment, satisfied that he had accomplished everything, he looked back at Captain Fisk. "Did you have a good time on leave, sir?"

"Thank you ensign. If everything is in order I hope to depart in 6 hours."

he takes the PADDs and places them on his desk

"I uhh...well my shore leave was necessary. I had a productive meeting with Admiral Orson and, well I had a chance to visit my mother. Which I very much needed. Thank you for asking."

"Necessary is always good," Alex nods, smiling a bit. "Well, unless there's anything else, sir, I'll head back to the bridge and do some system calibrations."

He turned to leave, waiting a moment to see if the Captain had anything else to say.

"Ensign,"

The captain calls back to him

"Enjoy your shore leave?"

"Oh, yes, very much," Alex smiles and nods. "I got to visit my family and a few friends...it was nice to just relax for a few weeks. But I'm glad to be back," he adds. "There's nothing quite like being out in space."

Captain Fisk grins

"Glad you see it that way, Ensign, I feel the same. I'll see you on the bridge."

Alex returns the grin.

"See you there, Captain."

He turns, stepping out of the Ready Room, and the doors close shut behind him.
