Cole heard the Captain and did exactly what he said and switched Whitestar's power supply from external to the internals and then contacted Dock Traffic Control regarding their clearance to the Space Doors. Using the Companel on the Ops Console, the Lieutenant tapped the buttons to open communications between Whitestar and the DTC.
Lt. Mitchell:
This is Whitestar requesting clearance to the Space Doors. We're all powered up with a crew ready to go!
A few seconds later, Dock Traffic Control responded.
SB34-DTC:
This is Starbase 34 Dock Traffic Control, Whitestar you are cleared to the Space Doors as soon as you clear all moorings and retract the Gangway.
Lt. Mitchell:
Understood, clearing the moorings and retracting the Gangway now!
The Chief Operations Officer immediately released the moorings and retracted the Gangway from the side of Whitestar's Docking Port on Deck 12. Cole was kind of embarrassed that he didn't follow procedure and release the moorings and retract the Gangway before calling in for clearance to the Space Doors. But he was just doing it in the order Capt Daqtorgh told him, so he followed his orders and didn't think to second guess them. Perhaps it was the way of the Klingon Defense Force to call for clearance before the ship can actually move anywhere? Be that as it may, Lt. Mitchell informed the Captain they were cleared to the Space Doors and the moorings and Gangway was cleared and retracted.
Lt. Mitchell:
We're on internal power, moorings are cleared and Gangway is retracted, clearance to the Space Doors has been given! We're ready to go, Sir!
With that said, Cole waited for the Captain to give more orders that would get them moving towards the doors that lead out to space. Even though the Lieutenant got no down time at all from his mission aboard Event Horizon, he was happy to be back aboard Whitestar and alongside his buddy that he's known his whole life practically. Together, they would do all they could to make this mission a success! _________________

Daqtorgh tried to contain his excitement of returning to space as he stood up to give the next set of orders which will take them out into the Gamma Quadrant. Before giving his next set of orders to Lt. Thomas, the Captain thanked Lt. Mitchell for his efficient work at getting Whitestar ready to depart.
Capt Daqtorgh:
Thank you Mr. Mitchell. Mr Thomas, take us to the Space Doors if you will. Maneuvering thrusters, full reverse. Take us out of the berth nice, slow and easy, we don't want to damage the repairs that were just done. As soon as we are clear of Starbase 34's Approach Control Area set a course for New Bajor, Warp 9.
The CO looked over at the Yeoman as could see the excited smile on his face, before he used the small console by his chair to calculate the amount of time it would take them to reach New Bajor.
Capt Daqtorgh:
Are you ready to go into space, Ensign?
Daqtorgh then looked at the Ops Station and gave Lt. Mitchell another order.
Capt Daqtorgh:
Mr. Mitchell, send a message to Commodore Carpathia that we will be at New Bajor in just under 2 hours once we engage the Warp Drive.
With all the CO's orders given, Daqtorgh watched and waited for his orders to be carried out. The Captain still hid his excitement at being in command of an Akira Class Starship from the Bridge crew. Daqtorgh always was a major fan of the overall design, more so than even the KDF's Negh'Var Class Heavy Battlecruiser. _________________

Dylan was happy to oblige Capt Daqtorgh's orders and used the maneuvering thrusters at full reverse to back Whitestar from it's berth. The Lieutenant smiled to himself as he made sure not to put any scratches on the exterior of the ship per the Captain's orders.
Lt. Thomas:
Thrusters at full reverse, Captain.
In a steady motion, the ship moved seamlessly from where it was docked, to the open area inside Space Dock where Lt. Thomas rotated the Akira Class vessel on it's axis so he could point the bow towards the Space Doors.
Lt. Thomas:
Rotation complete, Sir. Thrusters at full forward.
The Lieutenant piloted Whitestar right down the lit path to the Space Doors, which began to open slowly before them on the Main Viewscreen. In a few minutes they cleared the doors and were in SB34's Approach Control Area.
SB34:
This is Approach Control to Whitestar, you are clear to maneuver using one quarter Impulse Power till you reach the outer markers. Once you're there, Warp Speed is at your discretion. May the wind be at your backs, Approach Control out.
Dylan shutdown power to the maneuvering thrusters and brought the Impulse Engines online and powered them up to one quarter. As the distance between SB34 and Whitestar grew at a steady pace, the Lieutenant informed Capt Daqtorgh of their status.
Lt. Thomas:
Now moving at one quarter Impulse Power towards the outer markers, Captain.
It wasn't long before the outer markers appeared on the Main Viewscreen and in a few short minutes they were beyond them. Dylan powered down the Impulse Engines and brought the Warp Engines online.
Lt. Thomas:
Warp Engines online, Captain. Warp 9, engaged!
As Whitestar jumped to Warp Speed, Dylan's heart was pounding with excitement. This was the vessel he really enjoyed piloting and all the systems operated with such familiarity. The Lieutenant was quite impressed with the Flight Control Station of the newly repaired Bridge of his Akira Class vessel. _________________
