Mission: From the Sidelines
Location: U.S.S. Chuck Norris
Timeline: Current

ON: (U.S.S. Chuck Norris - Ready Room)

"First Officer log, Stardate 54888.6, The Chuck Norris has now arrived at Starbase 10 after our travels to get here. I have been in contact with the Commander of the station, T'Shor, to have the necessary supplies and personal alerted to our arrival. There has been some personal change, as a few of the original Norris crew members have been recalled for reasons that yet again, I was not privy to. The crew that has been onboard seems to be on both a combination of on edge and somewhat confusion. I am hoping with the addition of Captain Spice, our mission specialist, he will be able to bring some perspective to our current mission. I will be heading down to the transporter room to great our new arrivals as Captain vonMcCormick still seems indisposed at the moment."
Aurther stood up from the chair and glanced our the window at Starbase 10. "End log", he managed to get out just before exiting the ready room and making his way down to the transporter room.

(Transporter Room)

Aurther stood beside the transporter chief reviewing several of the shipments of supplies that were coming in. All of it very normal, parts, tools, uniforms, some food and supplies. There was nothing that gave him any hint to this missions, that he was no convinced some of the crew knew, but he did not. He let out a small sigh and switched over to the incoming personnel. Noting that after this last transfer, all positions would be filled in.
His eyes focused on the blue light as the first crewman was beamed aboard.

"Ensign John Wyatt?"

"Yes sir, that's me." The man stepped out of the transport pad and the two shook hands.

"Commander Aurther Winters, first officer, welcome aboard. The Captain is indisposed at the moment, however we do need to get underway. So if you can, would you mind settling in quickly and meeting me in the conference room to discuss our orders."

"Will do.", and with that John was out of room. Aurther got an interesting vibe from the man, but the sound of another transport coming in snapped his head back forward.

"Commander Winters?"

"Captain Spice?"

There was a small pause as they both chuckled to themselves. "Your mission specialist. Now, as you know, time is of the essence and we need to get ourselves moving. I know that I am the last of crew to get aboard, and that all other supplies have been delivered. So, please proceed with your orders, and I will be in my quarters." And with that Spice almost speed walked out of the room.
Aurther looked over at the Chief and the two of them just gave a small shrug to each other before he made his way out and headed back to the bridge.

(Bridge)

As he made his way back to the bridge, there was a little more life into it now. All stations were manned and the sound of chatter and sounds was a soothing sound to his ears. He sat down in the command chair and reviewed the relevant information for himself.

"Helm, bring us around, heading 332 mark 045, and proceed to Raython IV, warp 8."

"Yes sir, course plotted and locked in." 2nd Lt. Collier announced.

"Punch it"

The Chuck Norris flipped 180 degrees and with a speed headed away from the Starbase before darting off in the vast unknown of space with a shimmering blue flash.
