Sometimes, the waiting felt like it would never end. But if there was one thing Jaein had learned over the years, it was that the only thing to do was simply to let it happen. Systems could only boot so fast, components worked at their own speeds. Nothing he could do would change them - at least, not without risking them breaking or just simply not working at all - and so he'd forcibly learned patience.
Fortunately, the console - after what felt like forever but couldn't have been more than a minute - came online. It showed its new interface, and the power was perfectly stable. He let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding, and sighed in relief as he did so. He worked the console for a moment, verifying its function, and letting it interface with the Artemis' sensors to verify its location and noted it looking for any incoming IFF signals, just like it was supposed to.
Good enough for me, he thought, and tapped his commbadge. "Omdor to bridge," he said, "the Dominion IFF console is up and running. I can't be completely sure it'll protect us from any defenses until we actually try it, but everything I can see says it's working as intended and will let us pass through."
