Chapter 1 of Star Trek Hellstorm
[Chapter 1 The Grand Lady
Captains log Stardate 51721.3, We have returned from our frist mission onboard the USS Hellstorm after her recent refit and systems upgrade to test out a new kind of technology that was recently developed by Starfleet Research and Development. Starfleet had ordered us to test out a new prototype flatbed the USS Pigin and bring her up to speed with the latest shakedown cruise exercises, My new frist officer has taken part in the design and construction of the ship and I'm looking forward in working along side him while the initail tests get underway.
I'm hoping to find the time to test out the new battle bridge as this ship is equipped with a multi vector assult mode as was fully demostrated onbaord the USS Prometheus, if all goes well we should be able to convince Starfleet Comand to begin normal construction of this class of ship."
"Computer end log." Captain Kenneth let out a sigh of relief as he strode to his ready room window and peered out over the horizon of spacedock watching as worker bees hovered over other ships that were docked nearby. It seemed to him that the worker bees were nothing more than nats flying around over a huge animal that was constantly staying still to wave off the menace. He looked past an Excelsior class ship that was docked on the lower corner of the Hellstorm and saw the Pigin resting comfortably in her dock again with worker bees hovering around her. Her warp naccels glowed a soft bluish color and dimed ever so slightly as if to test the the extent on how far she could go. He wondered how long it would be before Starfleet would accept the new class if the initial tests confirm her worthy. Kenneth jumped to the sound of the his commanders voice over the comn. "Bridge to Captain Kenneth." Kenneth stepped away from the window and replied. " Kenneth here.", "Sorry to disturb you sir, but Admrial Jackson is requesting our presence onboard the Pigin." came the Commanders reply. "Understood Im on my way." Kenneth said suddenly as he grabbed his padd of the Pigins schematics, and walked out of his readyroom.
Moments later Captain Kenneth stepped onto the pristine new bridge of the USS Pigin and took hold of the magnitude of such awesome scale of the room. Agreed the bridge wasnt at its most greatest appearance with work crews and engineer technicians still working and sorting out a few bugs but it was more than he had ever saw in his life. He turned to the sound of his first officer's voice from behind. He turned to see Commander Darron standing next to a tall black highly decorative officer with an outstretched hand in front of him. "Sir this is Admiral Jackson, who has personally requested for us to test out the new technical upgrades and specifications of the Pigin." Darron reported. Capatin Kenneth took Admiral Jackson's hand in his and shook it firmly. "Admiral Jackson I assumed you would have been in central command overseeing the project get underway." Captain Kenneth said with respect. "Ah but Captain you cant expect me to miss out all the fun now do you besides whos gonna look after her if things go haywire." Kenneth chuckled slightly and relaxed a bit he turned to Commander Darron "That will be all thank you number one." Darron nodded and stepped away and headed toward the turbolift to engineering. Admiral Jackson looked on then turned to Kenneth immediately afterwards. "Shes a fine ship Captain, best in the fleet with USS Prometheus coming in second best." "Yes I see." replied Kenneth still overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the bridge. "May I ask what made Starfleet come to a decsion for a new class of ship all of a sudden?" Admiral Jacksons face turned serious and he quietly looked around and said "Come, walk with me captain."
The corridors of the Pigin were busy with activity as technicians and enginneres were busy at work on the bio nerual circuitry behind the paneled walls. Tools laid scattered around the deck floors as a choirous of beeps and computer diagnostic hums echoed throughout the area. Admiral Jackson stepped over a large computer console that was resting on the deck waiting to be installed as he started explainning the situation at hand. "Captain, there has been a great deal of concern with recent high level of activity from the borg since after the dominion war. We were luckily enough that the Enterprise was able to save our tails when the last borg attack occured while most of our fleet were routed near Deep Space Nine to defend her from possible dominion invasion, but let us not forget that that their latest attack proved almost fatal since they were able to penetrate our defenses far enough to approach Sector 001." Kenneth thought back at that time and remembered that the Hailstorm had recieved a priority one distress call from Starfleet command as they were patroling near the wormhole at Deep Space Nine, He also remembered how helpless the defense force was before the Enterprise showed up paving the way to victory. Several ships laid either destroyed or severely disabled, to him it seem like the battle of Wolf 359 was replaying all over again only this time much deadlier than the first encounter. Admiral Jackson continued. "As for the recent development of a ship such as this one means that Starfleet isnt taking any chances on outside forces willing to do whatever to sieze their opputunity and take what is ours. " Besides after a few rounds from this new girl and I doubt that even the cardassians would want to push us anymore."Kenneth looked over the schematics that was on his padd that he was carrying and was impressed with the new upgraded warp propulsion and core specifications. "Hmm," Kenneth started "It seems that the Hellstorm was the first phase of the new warp core upgrades and power distributions." Admiral Jackson looked over Kenneths shoulder from beside him and grinned, "Ah, yes it took Starfleet R&D several months to perfect this warp propulsion system and now the final phase of it is finally installed on the Pigin herself." "What about weapons and defensive capabilities?" Kenneth asked with curiousity. Admiral Jackson laughed "Glad you asked that captain, The Pigin carries a huge array of the Starfleets top advanced weaponary including standard armments of 250 micro photon torpedoes 180 micro quantums torpedos 20 of the newest prototype transphasic torpedos brought back from Voyager when she returned last year plus 20 type 12 phaser arrays including Defiants standard pulse phasers, Standard cloaking device with also a newly tested phase cloaking system, multi-regenerative sheilds with a high yeild density deflector array. Top warp cruising speed of warp 9.999 up to 12 hours without powering down." Kenneth listened intently as Admiral Jackson expalined the advanced specifications of the Pigin and was stunned to hear that this ship was top of the class in everyway it wasnt a matter of the Pigin protecting the Federation but more like the Federation protecting the Pigin herself.
A crewman came walking up toward Admiral Jackson and handed him a padd. Admiral Jackson looked over it and smiled with a heavy sigh "Well captain it looks as if the Pigin is about ready for her first shakedown cruise shall we head back to the bridge and get this on the way?" Kenneth's eyes lit up and he smiled "Yes sir, right away sir!" Admiral Jackson turned toward a corridor that lead to the turbolift "Good to hear it now you get to see first hand on what she can do." The turbolift doors opened and they both stepped in "Computer Bridge." Admirl Jackson commanded. Kenneth felt a surge of excitement swell within him knowing that this will be the first chance in a lifetime to test out the pride of Starfleet.
Back down in enginneering Commander Darron looked up to see the new class of warp core desgin. It was similar to that onboard the Enterprise E just smaller in size comparison, the whole area pulsed with raw power that rumbled the floor slightly even if the ship was powered down. He was taken by surprise by the size which was even far greater than the sight on the bridge with power conduits that glowed with power that lead straight to the core and the spacious work area with a power distubution map that was placed on a central control table located on the aft side of the entire room itself there he saw two crewmen working over at a nearby dilithium matrix console. He also noticed a secondary console located on the second level and decided to take a look for himself, as he headed up he saw a huge over hanging diagnostic display showing the full schematic of the ship and current systems that were engaged and primed ready. He also noticed the dilithium matrix status which the two crewmen were working on was slightly out of variance. He frowned at the readouts as Cheif engineer Braxon came strolling in with huge engineering padd in his hand as he headed for the shield and deflector control. "Cheif I belive that the dilithium matrix is off by 1.12 microns Admiral Jacksons specifications indicated that the warp core should be operating within .10 microns in order for a successful feild test of the pigins warp capability." Braxon tensed up and turned to face the nosey commander with a forced smile on his face. Braxon was a tall slender man with a temper to make even the strictest of admirals of Starfleet. blush, but he merely used that temper for the better of the ships operation and performance and never failed to accomplish a task or repair that was at hand."Yes sir, I’am fully aware of the slight variance of the core matrix and I have two crewmen working on it as you can see." He pointed toward the two crewmen below and they turned and looked up to acknowledge the commander's presence. "Very well." replied Darron, "See to it that the matrix is with in normal parameters before the order to disembark the station is given." Again Braxon forced a smile and calmly replied "Yes Sir." Commander Darron turned away from the engineer and head back down to the first level the strong sound of the warp core humming was very invigorating as it was refreshing to feel the awesome power of the ships heart beating so close to him. Darron headed toward the exit of engineering as he did he turned and took one last look at the amazing power of the core itself and the fine crew that was operating her to her highest potential.
Commander Darron later stepped off the turbolift and onto the bridge and saw Captain Kenneth watching as the engineers closed up one of the panels on the wall. "This is a fine ship commander best in the fleet" Kenneth said with an estatic mood Darron nodded and added "The warp core is ready to come online and all major systems are primed ready for departure sir." Very good number one, Kenneth replied as took his seat in the command chair. USS Pigin to station control requesting permission to depart." The stations docking personnel answered in a cheerful voice "Station Control to USS Pigin, Permission granted have a safe shakedown cruise." Kenneth smiled and tapped the comn channel "Bridge to Engineering." "Cheif Braxon here sir." came a reply. "Bring the warp core online and prepare for maximum warp once we are cleared from spacedock." Kenneth ordered, "Aye sir." came a annoyed response from the engineer. "All stations report ready captain inertial damperners and structral integrity at maximum power. Full impulse ready at your command." Lt. Christopher Peterman reported from helm. Kenneth looked up at the viewscreen and felt excitement grow within him "Very good, Helm set thrusters at station keeping bring us to 1/3 impulse power." "Aye sir, thrusters at station keeping impulse to 1/3" replied the Lieutenant.
Onboard the Hellstorm Commander T'Lek a disguised Romulan infritrator and second in line from the Tal'Shiar watched as the USS Pigin powered up and began to move out of its docking bay with her warp naccels glowing intensly with power just waiting to be released.T'Lek had previously buumped into Commander Darron near engineering and the mission almost became compromised if not for him disguised as a Vulcan engineering officer he noted that Commander Darron had excused himself but then stood there for a minute and watched T'Lek closely as to determine if he was part of the crew but then later left. "Soon the Federations most powerful ship will become part of the Tal'shiar and the Romulan Star Empire." T'Lek thought to himself as he turned away from the nearby window and headed down the dark corridor passing several engineers along the way.
Back onboard the Pigin, Captain Kenneth sat in his command chair and watched as the stations doors came closer and closer until finally they flew right on past the Pigin and she was now free in space. "Captain if you will excuse me I will head down to engineering again to oversee the warp core during the initial warp tests." Kenneth nodded and Commander Darron got up and headed toward the turbolift. "Alright then," Kenneth started. "Lets see what this girl can do. Helm set a course bearing 341 mark 773 and bring us to warp 5." "Course laid in capatin." Kenneth looked at the viewscreen as he replied "Engage." The Pigin flew with a flash of light from her warp naccels and shot through space in a blink of an eye."
