Marn wasn't exactly comforted by the comments, there would need to be proof of the changes fixing any issues. He gave a small grunt in disapproval and then went to go look around on his own, stepping through the mess.

Jessica gave a nod "Well that's more promising, at least a crew is already on it. I suppose the retrofits are better than sticking with the original hardware. It sounds like it was built by the lowest bidder, typical I'm sure."

She walked up and followed the ODN relay and took a look at the connectors. She made note of the cable and the data capacity it could handle, showing a frown.

"Whenever they come back have them swap out the transceivers for this as well. With the newer line its going to draw more than these can handle and cause shorts."

"I wouldn't have thought about that," Joker following the data line and then picked up his PADD traced out the cable to their termination points at the primary and secondary transceivers. "Ok, the work order is in, If you see anything else I can ask the tech crew to work on it." He turned and projected his voice toward Marn, "If it makes you feel any better the tech crew has done this to all of the transports when they were delivered, its part of a whole thing for our missions."

The young man had been listening to everything so far even has he looked over the rest of the ship "I would hope so, otherwise Blackwatch will be very short lived. I suppose if nothing else the issues are being fixed now." He sat down at his station and began to overlook the scanners, displays, passive outputs, etc. It wasn't perfect but it would work after he moved a few things around on his console. It would be acceptable to complete the tasks he'd need to prepare for. He verified the changes and applied the lockout back to the station. He had made sure to save the profile so no matter which ship he ended up on, he could load it when he logged on.

"I'm presuming you have the small arms stations prepped as well? Just in case anyone we don't want attempts to board. Plus more small arms are always better."

"The lockers are installed with the new biometrics but watch out, they installed some kind of knockout gas system so you put the wrong code in too many times, it's nap time. As for the actual weapons, they are in our armory on Deck 19. " Joker checked his PADD "Looks like the Master at Arms will be stocking us up this afternoon."

"That would be me" Marn replied. He was only one of a handful with the role on the ship to being with, and one of two in all of Blackwatch. "I wanted to make sure you were ready to receive them. I won't bring any actual energy packs for them until we are on active status but the weapons will be secured."

Jessica was listening to all of the back and forth, making note of the layout of the craft and where she would be sitting, as well as going over her controls for the Electronic Warfare systems, hoping she wouldn't need to utilize them much on mission. A few moments alter she heard one of the engineers returning from lunch. It was probably best they get out of the way and let the work be completed as quickly as possible.

"We'll let you get back to putting everything together Joker. Hopefully the next time we meet, everything will at least be working."

The tech crew slowly filed into the shuttle bay. Their conversations got louder as they approached the transport. "It was great to meet both of you," Joker said shaking both of their hands again. "They should have everything put back together before the shift is over." He craned his neck back checking the outfit schedule, "Looks like they're arming the transports tonight during Delta shift. And Prophet, if you need help bringing the small arms aboard I'll be here. I'd love to check out those XSP-22's."

Marn considered the statement for a moment "If you want some time up close and personal I would actually recommend the range on deck 18. They have training models there. Same exact rifle just modified so the shots are harmless if they hit anyone. Getting some range time in will probably be a good idea. I know pilots unfortunately get overlooked for trigger time." In truth he also didn't want any additional distractions during the transfer, walking around with a stack of weapons usually drew a lot attention as it was.

The pair began making her way down the ramp to leave "Till next time Joker" Jessica said.

Marn gave a wave and followed along with her. There would be plenty of time to get to know one another later during mission, he was sure of it.

"Good Call Prophet,"Jaxom gave him a thumbs-up gesture. "I'll schedule a time this week to try out all of the weapons on the range, I'll see y'all around."
