"Yes we are departing shortly you are welcome to join us" Archer says gesturing for her to head aboard he follows boarding the ship a smile graces his face as he steps aboard to him he has always felt most at home aboard a ship he approaches the Engineer and returns the mans salute "At ease Mister" he says "you must be the chief engineer, I presume the ship is ready to depart?"

Spoiler: OOC (hover to show)

a first oficer role for Hal would be one i support i think it would be a good use of him

Having given the medbay a once over Sandi takes and puts on one of the white medical coats. She then smooths it out and places her two scanners from her medical kit in the two pockets on the coats left and right sides so they're at hand to be used in a moment's notice. She feels a little nervous, it looks like she has some big boots to fill...

"Ah, recruits," says Aradar, shaking his head.  "Definitely an interesting experience."

He waves his hand with nonchalance.  "I'm not even in the same galaxy as the Wraiths.  What I've done is plain and simple by comparison.  We mostly just blew stuff up."

He looks at his chrono.  "Well, Sergeant, I won't keep you.  I'm certain you will want to inspect your troops, and I need to get to the bridge.  Lots of stuff to become familiar with before we leave.  But I'll be in touch."  He salutes, then heads off.

Once on the bridge, he approaches the junior pilot running the pre-flight checklist and warm-up.  "Ensign, how's it looking?"

After Aradar left Kam turned and went to find the marines. He wanted to make sure they were up to his standards. If they weren't though he might have to ask Aradar to help get them up to par. He wasn't sure what the specifics of the mission was but he wanted his men to be ready for what Captain Archer needed them for.
As he walked through the corridors he kept track mentally of the bulkheads and different places where they would be able to prevent boarders from progressing. While he hoped that it never came down to that, he knew that any force trying to take this ship were going to be in for a series of nasty surprises. "Perhaps I should speak with the Chief Engineer, see what kind of surprises we could prepare..." he mumbled to himself as he prepared to meet with the marines. Following that he planned to tour the rest of the vessel before making himself available on the bridge.

Archer nods "Lets set the departure time in a half Hour" he says "I will be in my office till then" with that archer heads for his office looking around s he heads there though the ship is not new that just means she has character as he arrives Archer keys the code to enter his office and sits at th desk before looking in earnest t his orders in addition he keys up the specifications of the retribution compared to an ordinary CR90 corvette he knows that any difference must be accounted for in his tactics as a mistake could cost them and he was unwilling to make the men and women of his crew pay for his mistake

Kam finds the marine's quarters, then palms the door controls and enters. Inside, the marines quickly line up in two rows on either side of the room, each man at attention in front of his bunk. Their armor and weapons have been carefully stowed in the correct compartments beneath the bunks. In the center of the room is a small table; on the table is a holoprojector. A ghostly blue figure hovers over the projector base - Tam recognizes Colonel Jerkan Mortis, a regimental commander. The hologram crackles with static as Mortis speaks.

 "Sergeant Te'Kam Llosong, you are hereby promoted to the position of Warrant Officer in the Army of the New Republic, subdivision New Republic Special Forces. You will receive your warrant at your next port of call, where you will also take your oath. In the meantime, you are to take command of the 19th New Republic Marines Platoon." He gives a salute and smiles. "Congratulations. It's fairly irregular for a NCO to command a platoon, so show some appreciation. I had a hard time getting the brass to go for it. As it was, they insisted on this promotion." He turns to view the troopers. "At any rate, they're all yours. Enjoy."

The Twi'Lek shakes her head slightly at Sandi question. "Just me", she grimaces. "It wasn't too bad. Should be easy to fix." She's probably talking about the power not conduit, not the arm.
 Meanwhile Sandi works quickly and efficiently, swiftly placing a bacta patch on the burn wound - luckly the scanner showed no serious problems. A simple bacta patch and a few injections are all she needs. She talks as she works, and the young woman quickly calms down.

James's new office is clean but bare. His orders are simple - proceed to Coruscant and wait to receive further orders. The ship's readout is a little more interesting. First, the Retaliation has been upgraded with series of point defense lasers - useful in beating off snubfighter attacks. Second, the ship seems to have a glitch in the deflector shield power grid - reports from previous captains have noted that the shields often run at less than 100% power.

---------

The comm crackles. "Engineering - Knar Mocree, Chief Engineer speaking. We've had a problem with a replacement power conduit and had to reroute power temperaraly, but it should be fixed in a few minutes. Captain says departure is set for half an hour."

Kam was stunned. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the promotion, it just was something he didn't expect. He was far more comfortable leading men and being part of the action than the paperwork involved with higher ranks. If they thought that they would stick him behind a desk again after this mission the brass had another thing coming.
"Thank you Colonel. I appreciate the honour." Kam saluted and then turned to the marines. "I am sure by now you all know who I am. Some of you may have even heard of me. I want you to take all of that garbage and forget it. I am here to do my job just as you. That being said I won't accept any laziness or unprofessional behaviour. You get one warning and then the next time I have a problem you ship out to the most painful post I can find for you. Perhaps cleaning the Tautan pens on Hoth...with no gear. I expect you to do your job: that is keep the ship safe and remove any and all enemies who face her. I will be in the front lines. Be professional, be polite but have a plan to kill every one you meet. Follow me to glory and victory!"
He took a deep breath. "Do you have any questions for me? Don't ask about the mission as I haven't been read in as of yet."
