<div class="floatright"><strong>Ensign Kroken Liara - Main Engineering </strong><br/>            (http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/200px-Sito.jpg)</div><br/><em>=/\= "All hands, this is the Bridge. We've reached our first destination, begin to run diagnostics. Report any discrepancies. We'll resume our course in three hours." =/\=</em><br/><br/>Power from the warp core to the nacells dropped off quickly as the ship dropped out of warp.  Liara monitored the propulsion system closely, any irregularities in how the nacells vented the used plasma could damage the incredibly efficient propulsion system.  She was surprised how quickly power dropped off.  Standard Star Fleet warp cores generally had a gradual power drop off which forced the warp core to re-orient itself over a minute or two after a jump.  The SDD core with it's denser power output, dialed down almost immediately, the residual propulsion energy being reabsorbed into buffers along the ships power distribution system.  Liara had not seen this in the simulation, and was surprised how the ship retained the power it needed for an immediate jump.<br/><br/><em>=/\= Run diagnostics and appropriate monitoring routines and give me a report at the end of our jump.  Lt McGalleon out =/\=</em><br/><br/>"Lieutenant, we're at zero warp speed.  Buffers at sixty three percent, and plasma is holding at nominal levels for our next warp.  Not showing any anomalies and nacells have vented used plasma as designed.  All systems look good."<br/>
