He smiled. "Looks like this is it. I'll see you around, bro", he said with a nod towards his crew. "Let's go", he said, taking the lead and heading towards the ship, as he tapped his combadge.
"Captain Howlet to the crew of the USS Vanquisher... report to the ship as soon as possible and confirm your presence to your commanding officers. We shall depart on our maiden voyage as soon as everyone is confirmed in. Howlet out." 1 in Speed to fast walk over to the ship, get in by the main hangar entrance and get to the bridge, as I imagine the transporters will be busy bringing people who need it in.

You all get on the ship, and head for the bridge.

(OOC: You know, I hadn't thought of it at the time, but I'm gonna spend some loes to make my Social Skills into statecraft and raise it 1 AN to get a Leadership specialty. Makes sense for a Starfleet captain of such a huge ship.)

"Take some time to get familiarized with your new respective stations", James advised as he took a seat in the captain's chair and proceeded to do just that. "Standby for crew presence confirmation reports from your divisions and let us know when everyone is in."
He looked over at Nami, smiling. "Lieutenant Commander, run a full ship diagnostic as soon possible. Let's double check that everything is running smoothly before we take off." 5 in Statecraft (Captain, Leadership) to get us ready to go.
Also 12 in Technology to get familiarized with my captain's chair's command station and control panels.

All systems are clear and ready to go.

"Alright. Get us out into space, Mr. Hyoudou. Then standby for further orders once we are in orbit. Looking forward to traveling with you all", he said as he checked the ship's data for a message from Travis with their mission orders and the escort job's details. 12 in Technology to do so.
As a side note, according to my 'warp speed calculator', at Warp 9.6 (the Vanquisher's sustainable without issue speed), traveling 1 light year takes 0.41 days, or 9 hours 50 minutes, in case you want an idea of how long it'll take to get somewhere based on that for storytelling purposes. (For example, Vulcan is 16 light years away from Earth, which takes 6 days and about 14 hours and a half at that speed.)

The ship leaves the Starbase in Orbit around the planet in question.

You find a mission statement coordinates for the planet in question, and the fact that the colonists have already boarded the ship with the crew.

"Ms. Nami, I'd like to know how many colonists we have on board and whether or not they have all they need already to establish the colony. If there's anything missing, we'd best know as early as possible so we can get our replicators working on that. If necessary, Ms. Mikazuchi, I'd appreciate if the Security division could assist with asserting the needs of the colonists", he requested.
"...Mr. Hyoudou. I'm transmitting you the target system's coordinates, located in the unknown regions. Set a course over to them and get us on our way, Warp 9.6", he requested. "...Engage." 12 in Technology; 6 to transfer the coordinates over to Issei, and 6 to calculate the distance in light years/the time it'd take them to get there.

"Understood. We currently have 401 colonists, and they have building materials, weapons, and 3 years worth of food and medical supplies." She said.
"Course set... ETA 18 days, 13 hours, and 4 minutes." Issei said.

"Excellent. Thank you. Seems like they are already pretty much good to go, then", he noted thoughtfully, before answering Issei's statement.
"Quite the trip", he pondered. "I suppose this gives us plenty of time to get used to our new home away from home. "How far is the closest starbase from the soon-to-be-colonized planet?" he asked.

"We just left it." Nami said.

"Hmm. That was the closest? ...Hmm. If it's 18 days and a half away, given that we need to return afterwards... we'll only have about a month and three weeks to help the colonists get settled before we need to head back", he pondered. "Well... guess we got our work cut out for us."
Taking a deep breath, he allowed himself to just enjoy the moment as he was finally captain of his own ship, one of the best ships he could possibly have hoped for. He then spent the next of his time getting familiarized some more with his captain's chair's station and control panels, unless something happened or someone asked/told him something.

You acquaint yourself with the controls with no problem.

When he was done, James got up. "I'm going to meet our colonists guests", he stated. "I'm leaving the bridge to you, Number One. Call me if anything comes up", he said to Keqing before heading out to see the colonists, starting with their leader, provided they had one.
