<Captain Mortimer, Bridge>

Entering the bridge, Mortimer noticed Beata automatically leave the centre seat and re-take his position at the conn.

"Whats our ETA, Mr. Beata?"

{Waits for reply}

"Very well. Mr. Beata, you may wish to get your away team ready. I'm putting you in charge of the operation on Slater's."

He turns to Ensign Lake at Tactical. "Ensign, prepare some class VIII probes equipped to scan for vessels. If theres any activity in the system, I want some time to think before anything reaches us"

Remembering something more important, he hits the sickbay intercom, wondering how to phrase his question.

"Mortimer to Sickbay. um... Report."

Tnega noted the message on his terminal. Apparently someone had managed to copy his message to Mortimer. He decided to have Allirog look into it later.....
