OFF: Hurray for a current mission! But sorry to see we lost someone.

ON: (U.S.S. Chuck Norris Bridge)

Aurther made his way over to the Captain's chair, and took a seat in it. Leaning back and gently gripping the sides of it, he did a cursory scan of all the information that was relevant to him. His mind thought back to the both interactions with Captain vonMcCormick and Admiral van Tomlinsonborg. These wasn't the strangest way to get orders he had ever received, but it was perplexing. Again, with all the secrecy and the generality he was given him a few moments of pause, however he knew he could never show it on the outside.

"Clear all mooring docks." he stated.

"Aye sir, all docks are clear, we are free of the Starbase." Lt. M'eia R'honn stated

"Helm, set course of 033 mark 340, take us out of Orbit, once we've cleared, set course to Starbase 10, engage warp 8."

"Yes sir, course plotted..." 2nd Lt. Collier paused as his fingers danced over the helm, "and locked in. ETA 17 hours."

"Excellent, punch it."

The Defiant class starship dipped and rolled away into the darkness of space, and once out of range of all impeding materials stopped only for a brief moment before the blue of her engines sparked to life and she disappeared into a brilliant flash.

Aurther stood up, and grabbed a PADD. He figured that if the Captain was going to spend his time in his quarters, he would make use of the ready room. It would be less distance to walk then heading back to his own room. As he made it halfway, Collier turned in his chair and faced him.

"Commander Winters, sir? Can I speak to you for a moment. In private?", asks Leutenant Douglas.

{End Snip}

Aurther looked over as he continued to walk. "Of course Lieutenant. Lt. M'eia R'honn, you have the Conn." With that simple phrase M'eia R'honn moved from her Tactical station and into the command chair as Aurther and Douglas made their way into the ready room.

OFF: I am curious what Collier will say.
