Sir we've got the Injector installed right now Ensign Mason says as he looks at Commander Olson who is drinking a cup of coffee, due to him being up half the night getting the ship ready for its launch date.

Thank you Ensign Commander Olson says as he looks at the padd showing the injector assembly is in the green.
