<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Bridge>

Mortimer steps onto the bridge, noting the presence of Lt's Beata, Diego, and Solod.

"I think our stealth mode may work to get us away from the starbase if we can set up a distortion field around the ship to reflect sensor readings, but we still need to get the ship uncoupled from the Starbase without them knowing. We may be able to use the Intelligence subprocessor to override the starbase computer, making it think we're still here"

"Lt. Beata, try to find something we can use to project a distortion field"

"Lt. Solod, get to work on the computers"

"Kim, send three of your best security guards to deck six, to get aboard the starbase. It looks like we'll be seeing action against an unknown black ship, and I need you on the bridge."

I need somebody reliable to handle a battle situation. I don't trust my reactions in this state.

"Mortimer to Kindle. Meet security on deck six, and go with them to the base. I want you to try to get that bomb away from the base. Don't try to defuse it there unless you have to. Send your second in command to the bridge"

"Computer, re-configure Mission Ops station as Engineering"

"Mortimer to Captain Storm. Do you want us to try to get you on board?"
