Captain Lewen Aloer smiled as she slid her lithe form into her chair, she received the PADD she had been expecting from the ships Chief of the Boat, she nodded to him before she smiled, she tapped the PADD with her fingertips as she signed off on the information before her. "This looks good Master Chief, let's proceed with that," she commented in her dusky tones. Antilles nodded his head. "I'll pass the word to Engineering... Thank you, Captain." as he accepted the PADD back from her before he moved off. Leaving Aloer to get comfortable in her chair.

Standing across from her was the Marine Commanding Officer, Lee Antilles waited in silence as he regarded the Cardassian female when she regarded him. "What do you have for me?" she asked of Antilles, he held the same name as the ship's command master chief. Lee simply handed her a PADD. "All of the marines are aboard and we're ready to go," he explained to the Cardassian female before him.

Aloer accepted the PADD. "Are the Marines behaving?"

"I've made it clear of my brigade that I will not tolerate any trouble of any kind whatsoever, they are to assist the Starfleet crew with whatever needs to be done. Their issues are our issues, we're all in this together." Antilles explained in a flat tone.

"We shall see Colonel," Aloer responded with a nod as she signed the PADD.

"Indeed we will Captain." Antilles returned with a smile on his lips.

The door to the ready room opened and out walked the Chief Medical Officer followed by Fleet Captain Coral Antilles-Yamaguchi. "That's excellent news, thank you, Doctor," she said with a breezy smile. "You sure it won't be an issue?"

"Two five to six-year-old Klingon children will hardly be a strain on this ship's resources, Captain, I'm glad that I was the one who was given the final say on the matter at hand before us, we can go there, pick them up and handle matters for you and for the Kronprinz at the same time." Shepard was saying. "I don't see it being an issue... That's assuming the Captain doesn't sign off on it." Shepard indicated the Cardassian woman with a wave of his right hand.

Aloer rose to her feet as she noticed the exchange, she moved to her Commander's side. "The Captain did inform me, she also informed me as to why and I support her with this matter. Besides, such a brazen display of risk for her family should be respected. Coral wishes to retrieve her children from state-care and I believe she should be supported with this effort." Aloer explained. "It was the same between Garry and me." the Cardassian female explained. "I cannot serve beside my husband and the demands of family for a Cardassian are considerable, the least I can do is help someone else with their family... If I can't have mine." she paused before she turned and went back to the chair she had been sitting in.

Kassie El'Khaled came over. "Captain, all of our Starfighters are aboard, my people are prepared and our equipment is stowed." as she handed the PADD in her hands to the Cardassian female seated in the Exec's chair. "Any issues General?"

"None." The human female smiled as she gently took a moment to adjust her Hijab with her left hand. The Cardassian female smiled. "Thank you, General," she explained as she handed the PADD back to the human female before her. Antilles-Yamaguchi slid her lithe form into her command chair. "Alright, all stations report in... Clockwise from science, and skip your ranks, they don't matter... We're going to be riding into hell and I wanna know who I'm riding with... sound off guys?" Antilles-Yamaguchi commented.

The various members of the bridge crew all shared a look before the man at science spoke up. "Raymond Sims, Computer Sciences and Communications are ready for mission skipper." he nodded to her.

The Vulcan female seated at Operations turned. "T'Less, Operations is ready sir, computer sciences are ready for duty." she then nodded her head, the ships chief conn officer. The Vulcanish male nodded. "Chaen Haleth, Flight Operations are good to go, we're fully ready for sustained flight skipper."

"Derek Shepard, Chief Medical Officer, the crew of the ship are presently undergoing their checks. They should be done soon before we make it to the first waypoint," he explained, a nod of his head added to his point.

"Lamar Banks, All weapons are ready for service, we're ready for war skipper." as he nodded his head with a gentle smile on his lips.

The Halian female presently seated at security slowly smiled. "Torila Unal, Security is ready to handle anything that should come our way skipper." she slowly grinned as she regarded the human female before her.

The Human female with Bajoran features presently seated at Engineering near the back of the bridge. "Leah Mya, All systems, and hardware are ready for service Captain, we're ready to serve in the fleet." as she nodded her head with a gentle smile.

The last person on the bridge nodded her head. "Sanne Bakker. Coms and SIGINT are ready for service sir.."

"James Attavan, Ships master chief. The crew is ready for service." the ships Command Master Chief explained with a nod.

"Lewen Aloer, Ships Executive Officer." the Cardassian female explained with a gentle smile. "We're ready for service ma'am."

"I'm Coral Antilles-Yamaguchi. I will be serving as your Captain." she paused as a gentle smile appeared pon her face. "T'Les. Seal the airlock and retract all moorings," she commented.

The Operations officer nodded. "All airlocks sealed, retracting umbilicals," she commented evenly.

"Chaen, start-up our engines." Antilles-Yamaguchi smiled.

"Aye skipper." as the Vulcanish-looking male at Conn went about his work, meanwhile at the back of the bridge. "Engines are ready skipper," Leah explained. Antilles-Yamaguchi smiled. "Thrusters at stationkeeping, aft engines at one quarter and... Take us out." as the massive behemoth of a vessel slowly slid herself out of the dockyards. A few minutes later, the USS Kronprinz was clear of the dockyards and was now free to navigate. Haleth said as much a moment later.

"Excellent, set course for the first waypoint and let's get underway. Full impulse." Antilles-Yamaguchi explained with a nod of her head.
