The final pieces snapped into place with reassuring efficiency. Despite the rushed assembly and the age of the vessel, his department heads were reporting readiness across the board.
Good. Very good. This crew has potential...
Ameen addressed his Security Chief first.
"Thank you, Lieutenant Gath. All hands accounted for and ship secure – excellent work."
He then turned to his new Chief Medical Officer.
"Doctor O’Fee, Medical readiness confirmed. Your diligence regarding crew well-being is noted and appreciated. We can discuss your observations further once we are enroute."
His attention shifted to the Operations station where Petty Officer Molina had relayed the engineering status.
"Petty Officer Molina, thank you for the update."
He then spoke, his voice carrying clearly, intended for the comms channel to his Chief Engineer.
"Commander Keir, glad to hear Engineering is ready for mission start. Stand by for warp speed."
Finally, he focused on the helm.
"Lieutenant Krandall," Ameen said, his voice resonating with command. "Your report is comprehensive, and clearance from DS9 Traffic Control is received. You have the conn. Take us out, standard departure procedure, one-quarter impulse. Clear all station markers, if you please."
He watched the main viewscreen, anticipating the familiar sight of the station receding. The hum of the bridge seemed to gain a new undercurrent of purpose. Once Lieutenant Krandall reported they were clear of the station's mass and outer navigational markers, Ameen gave the order.
"Helm, lay in final course for Trill. Engage at Warp Factor Nine."
Trill, Whatever awaits us there, the Zephyr is now committed. Let's see what this old ship and her new crew can do.
He watched, as the stars outside began to elongate.
