Freeman enters the bridge of the Defiant Class ship and sits in the command chair. He sees Meridian at Tactical, O'Brian at Engineering, and O'Conner at Helm/Ops.

"Helm, begin detachment sequence. Hail the Ares and tell them to keep in formation. Tactical, I want weapons at the ready."

Welcome, Commander. Feel free to get aquainted with the crew and introduce yourself into the current mission.

Freeman presses a button on his command console next to his chair.

=/\= Thank you, Captain. Ares out. =/\=

(OFF: We already have a Sec/Tac chief, but we could use a secondary Tactical officer.)

Welcome, Ensign.

Welcome Lieutenant, please feel free to get situated onboard.

Freeman exits the turbolift and is stunned by the view of his new bridge. He takes a walk around it, checking out the Tactical, Ops and Science consoles, respectively. He then sits in his command chair and stares at the breathtaking view of space in the viewscreen.

Mr. Walker that will have to wait. Please meet me in Transporter Room 2. As you can see I am wearing a hazard suit. The Haz. Team is being inserted into a renegade Romulan ship.

Greetings, Captain Keach. I am Commander Freeman, your new XO. I hope I will serve to your liking

Of course, sir.

sits down in commander's chair

Mmm... comfortable...

Thank you, sir. I hope I see you along the trail once in a while.

Freeman lifts his bag and heads to the shuttlebay to leave for the Sequoia

Freeman and Keach enter the ready room

Well, Captain, this is it. Got any last minute pointers before I set off?

After the party, Freeman leaves to take his place on the Tiberon's bridge for the last time
