182.1 light years from Sol
Mission Day 1
Devin listened to the Captain's words, a sense of unease washing over him as they reached his ears. Something had gone wrong during the jump and while it could be any number of things it was up to him to figure out whether or not it had anything to do with his engineering department. While he had been taught nearly everything known about the prototype "jump drive" he was worried more about the unknowns. What side effects had the erroneous jump had on the drive itself? On the other systems in engineering? Even still, could Devin and the men under his command isolate and repair the issue? The feeling in the pit of his stomach intensified three-fold at the thought of being unable to fix the issue and dying so far from home. He had only been able to examine the systems diagnostic he'd began running post-jump for a few moments before the Captain had called his meeting, so he didn't have much information to give out. Unfortunately he thought, this issue could take years to isolate fully.
“I want to hear your suggestions on our next steps.” he heard the Captain say in his thick South American accent.
Devin looked up and nodded to get the Captain's attention and permission to speak. Once he had both he stood up from his chair in the meeting room. "Sir, the first thing I'd like to suggest is that we give me an' my boys in engineering some time to run diagnostics on the drive core and all connected systems. Possibility is something got knackered during the process of us jumping and threw us right off the way we were going."
"Secondly, I'd recommend allowing us to check our sub light engines as well as life-support before we head out. I can prioritize this if we'd like to get a move on, should only take two hours at most. Keep in mind, sir, this is all from an engineering stand point, but I believe it's in our best interest for my boys to check the lot of our systems. Best not move on if the ship is completely rooted."
Devin cleared his throat as he finished speaking, and took his seat while waiting for the Captain's response or for another officer to speak up.
