Gordon headed into the turbolift just ahead of Dorey. "Computer, deck 1, Bridge!" Gordon said as they sped off towards the bridge. He turned to Dorey. "So what should I be checking once we get to the bridge?" Gordon asked.

"We are going to want to run a full diagnostics on every terminal both primary ship functions and secondary and auxiliary systems. If there is something broken, we will be able to figure it out from the bridge. Help speed up the process of getting this bucket of bolts off the ground," she said with a catty smile.

"In that case, I will follow your lead, i'm not sure of the quickest way to do it." Gordon said as they exited the turbolift and headed for one of the consoles.

"The nice thing with these new fangle machines is they do most of the work. We just have to-" she stopped as she opened a panel. "-make sure none of the wires are crossed. Look here" she pointed to a misaligned connection.

Gordon got down next to the Dame and looked into the panel. "Yes, I can see that the connections misaligned!" Gordon said, as he took some scans of the conduit.

"Alright," said the Dame standing. "Take some time and inspect that half of the bridge, Ill take the big chair, Ops and Helm. Double check everything just to be safe," said The Dame.

"Alright Gordon," said The Dame standing up dusting off her hands and taking a seat in the big chair. "Lets run our diagnostics sweep?"

"Ready when you are boss!" Gordon said as he took up position at the first console.

"Activate diagnostics, on my mark. Three... Two... One... Mark," she said as she started the diagnostics on the arm terminal. There was a tense moment of silence then it was broken. "Anything out of the ordinary over there?" she asked not taking her eyes off of the terminal.

"Nothing that I can tell...wait...power spike on deck 3....it's gone again...that was weird!" Gordon said, making sure the data had transferred to his tricorder.

"Hold," she said shooting him a look. "Isolate and diagnose. We need that found..."

Gordon looked at his tricorder, trying to determine the nature of the spike. "The spike seems to be coming from one of the Gel Packs in section 8, i'll try and shutdown that Gel Pack and bypass the functions through one of the backups." Gordon said as he tapped a few sequences into the engineering console. "It's done, that should be all sorted till we can replace it."

"Mark it to be replaced," said The Dame making a few adjustments. "Everything is looking good down here, other then that one surge. I am getting an odd feel back in a port plasma cannon... but we can fix that..."

"I have marked it to be replaced, and it looks like the port plasma cannon needs a new phase coupling...nothing we can't handle though!" Gordon said, signing off of the console.

"Ill head to Main Engineering and start another diagnostics down there," said Dorey standing. "Ill let you take care of that Gel Pack?" she looked to Gordon.

"I think I can handle the Gel pack, I will meet you down in engineering shortly!" Gordon said heading to the opposite turbolift to Dorey.

"Fantastic," said The Dame standing. "Meet you down there."
