Captain Storm, USS Lafayette, Transporter Room

Storm rushes a long the corridor to transporter room one and hits his comm badge. "Reese this is your Captain I want you to lock onto a shuttle leaving the Ferengi Starship Gullible the computer will give you the coordinates.  I'll be there in a few seconds."

Reese just finishes putting the retractor relay module back into the transporter.  Gee and i didn't even have time to test the transporter. " Yes Captain I have the shuttle locked on may I ask what I am suppose to be transporting."  Hope its not the entire shuttle because these transporters can' t handle.

Storm enters through the transporter door "Ya I want you to lock onto Lt Commander Mortimer and Swanberg I beleive they are on that shuttle" Good thing Mortimer sent that message.  Humm I wonder if this is what SFI wanted with Mortimer and I didn't know that Swanberg was also part of it.

"Sir what the heck are they doing on a Ferengi shuttle..."

"Stop the questions Cheif just get a lock and get them over here"

"Yes sir!"

Reese plays with the transporter controls.  Hope this works or my ass is grass.  "I have a computer lock sir.  Now attempting to transport sir"  A flicker appears on the transport pad and dissappears.

"What the heck happened chief"

"I don't know sir I think the tractor beam that Ferengi ship is using is affecting transport.  I am now attempting to realine the converters and changing the polarity of the beam.  Okay sir I have another lock attempting to transport now"  The platform glows and two figures appear onboard the transporter pad lying on the ground.

Storm looks at the pad and at first thinks there dead but he can see them breathing. "Good work Reese"  Storm moves over to the pad.  " Well good to have you guys back onboard.  You can fill me in later on what your role is with SFI and why you were onboard the Ferengi ship.  By the way Mr. Mortimer we lost our Captain to the Ferengi.  I have now been appointed to the Lafayette as your Captain.  Now is a good a time as any I promote you to acting 1st Officer until Starfleet makes it official.  Of course I also want you to continue with your Operation duties.  Also we will be getting some new recruits.  When they arrive I want you to fill them in on ship proceedures.  Storm can see the stunned look on Mortimers face and smiles.  Tell me Mr Mortimer do you accept your new assignment?"
