<Commander Swanberg, Main Bridge>

Just as Swanberg prepares to contact Starbase 336, Lt. Beata enters from the forward turbolift and takes over the conn.  Almost simultaneously, the first officer enters from the aft lift.  "Good morning crew I hope you all slept well."

"Good morning, sir.  As well as can be expected.  New quarters, new bed and all the excitement yesterday don't make for a restful night."

"Mr. Swanberg, Please inform Star base 336 of our arrival.  Let them know that we have a critical patient that will need immediate medical attention once we arrive and that we will need a repair team to fix some damage to our sensor array."

"Yes, sir, I was just about to contact them."  Swanberg vacates the command chair and moves to the tactical console.  "Starbase 336, this is the U.S.S. Lafayette, requesting permission to dock."

"Lafayette, Starbase 336 welcomes you.  Doors are open, ready for your arrival."

Swanberg relays the Lafayette's current status and repair and medical requirements to Starbase Operations.

"Mr. Beata, all stop.  Place thrusters at station-keeping, then shut down and secure the helm once Starbase has us in their docking tractors.  Mr. Storm, I notified the captain, but he hasn't responded yet.  He may have been in the shower or still recovering from the long hours yesterday.  You might want to try him again."
