Mission: Mission 2: Casino Royale
Location: Various Locations - USS Kearsarge
Timeline: 1800Hrs - July 5th, 2388

Torilla was looking at the weapons inventory for
the USS Kearsarge and she was no happy with
the selection of ordinance available to her in a fight.

This ship was listed as a Frigate and not to protect
a disputed section of the frontier but that was for the
Captain and the Admiral to decide and not for her
to worry about.

She pushed the thought to the back of her mind and dismissed it without a second thought as she considered that the phasers would be her front line weapons and the torpedo ordinance would back that up with massed strikes.

Thankfully the design had been upgraded and improved over the years from thirteen type eight arrays and fifty photon torpedoes to thirteen type ten arrays and several hundred torpedoes. The Hellfires looked promising as she
had not fired those in anger before but today might be her unlucky day when she knew she would need to free any Gorn who attacked from their mortal shackles.

A smile crossed her face as she considered what she thought. The ship had two hundred quantum torpedoes and two hundred photon torpedoes as well as ten tricobalts which would be useless against moving targets and they were best used as demolitions ordinance anyway, but what Torilla also knew as her clearance was high enough was that the USS Kearsarge also came with six transphasic torpedoes. The reason Torilla knew this was because she had already heled the rank of Captain once before.

She sighed as she glanced at the specs for the shield system, which had also been improved over the years and she knew the Kearsarge could hang around in a firefight for a lot longer then USS Intrepid could back when the class was new, almost twenty years ago or USS Voyager when she was heading home.

"Ahh... this is almost pitiful.. " she muttered to herself. "any tactics will feature multiple contacts coming to visit... I'd best ensure we're ready with clean tablecloths and mints on the pillows." she rose to her feet as she drained the last dregs from her drink which had been slowly losing its gas from carbonation and sugar.

"I'd best go make myself useful." she lifted her PADD and with that in hand, she departed the mess hall, her next destination was the Tactical Array, located on deck four.
