"Arriving at our patrol sector now Captain." Lt. G'odoss announced as the moving fast moving stars in the viewscreen came to a slow crawl and then a stop. His hand fly over his console as he adjusted the ship to head in the correct course. A course he knew the Captain would ask for, but he was just trying to get ahead of the orders.

"Indeed, well set course..." Aurther looked down at his display to verify the surrounding area. "321 mark 344, one half impulse. Ensign Keegan, please inform engineering and Commander G'ginloss that we are starting our patrol and to reroute all extra power to the sensors and science labs."

"Aye sir, informing him now." the young Ensign replied back.

"Lt. Kronnelti, as we do get closer to the boarders, I would to make sure that you are keeping a close eye on everything around us. With the additional power to the sensors, please have that tied in and have a tactical overlay of the surrounding area. I would like to assume that nothing is going to try to get by us, but if there is anyone, or anything our there cloaked, I want to increase our odds of spotting them." Aurther turned and tapped a few more button on his console. His eyes darted back and forth, verifying what his orders were going to be and making sure they were give.

"Patrol course plotted and locked in sir." G'odoss was finally able to get out when Winters took a breath.

"Kick it." He announced as his slightly gestured with his finger to go.

"Aye sir... kicking it." The helmsman replied. There was a slight creek as Captain Winter arose from the command chair and made his way to the ready room.

"Commander Wyatt, you have the Conn.", was heard just as he entered his ready room. By the time Wyatt realized that he had the temporary command, Commander G'ginloss both made his way to the bridge, and then to the ready room.

(Captain's Ready Room)

"So, I assume that Doctor Blake has completed all of her medical exams?" Aurther questioned as the Klingon made his way in and handed him a PADD.

"Your assumptions would be correct. Everyone is in good health, and psychologically fit. Although she did make a note that it, in her words, it appeared that at least half of the crew seemed they were, "on edge."". G'ginloss noted as he took a seat.

"I'm not surprised, what with all the rumors of where we are." Aurther commented as he checked over the PADD.

"Sir?" G'ginloss seemed confused.

"While I would assume that the general feeling of uneasy should be where we are in relation to the borders, but I think it's safe to assume that this comes from old superstition."

"Superstition? In this day and age?"

"Indeed." Aurther placed down the PADD and stood up, heading over to his personal replicator and producing a cup of hot chocolate, he waited a moment and breathed in the aroma. "Ghost stories really."

"Ghosts?" G'ginloss almost looked surprised to hear that term. "This, I must hear more about."

"I'm glad you're sitting, this may take a little bit to explain."
