Story:Star Trek: Columbia/A New Command/Act One

Sitting in drydock is an NX-class vessel as a inspection pod is flying towards the dock that has the ship berth inside the dock.

Inside the Inspection pod a Starfleet Captain is sitting inside the pod looking at the padd in her hands, then looks up at the Columbia as Commander Williams looks at her.

The ventral plating team says they'll be done in about three days Katie says as she looks at the ship then at Brianna.

She looks at her.

Be sure they match the color to the nacelle housings Brianna says as she looks at her then at the ship.

Katie grins at her.

What you're planning on posing for a postcard on the primary hull? Katie says as she looks at her.

Brianna looks at her and snickers.

No, but maybe Brianna says as she looks at Katie.

Katie looks at her.

Thanks for recommending me for Chief Engineer Katie says as she looks at Brianna.

She looks at her.

Don't mention it you need a chance to prove yourself and Commander Tucker was the one who recommended you for the job Katie and I would't have it any other way Brianna says as she looks at her.

Katie smiles at her.

Then the com activates.

Orbital six Katie says as she activated the com.

Captain Martin ma'am ​a Crewmen says over the com.

She looks at the Columbia.

Go ahead Ensign Captain Martin says as she looks at the ship.

​Admiral Halsey needs to see you at Starfleet Command right away ma'am ​the Crewmen says over the com.

She turns to Katie.

Tell him we're on our way Captain Martin says as she looks at ship.

The transmission ends as they looked at each other.

At Starfleet Command in the briefing room Captain Martin walks into the room and sees Captains Halliwell, Martin, and Admiral Halsey.

Captain Martin have a seat Admiral Halsey says as he looks at her.

They sat down as she looks at them.

What's going on sir? Admiral Halsey says as she looks at him.

Captain Halliwell briefs them on what happened as a tactical map appears on the large screen.
