"A big bird. A large ship. But lets discuss something not related to ships or duty. I'm on one every day so this is a time to have fun."

"Very well then, do you have an estimate as to when this will occur? And also, would you like me to go along with Rajnus to assist with the cadets?."

"I consider myself to be thorough. If that is my first assignment then i should meet with Mr. Rajnus for his imput and schedule."

A smaller office than the CO's, it sits in the same hall as Admiral Hobsons.

"I've been placed as Stations operations officer in Captain Brodies stead. However i am very busy with other matters, i will supervise him in that position."

William Travis came into the classroom at a hurried pace.

"Yes Admiral" Travis said in a quick tone. It was obvious he was in a rush doing many things at once.

"I am the person who asked you two questions. I need two answers. I've got no time to fiddle with small talk. Nor to wait for a report." He said in a matter of fact tone.

as the admiral left

Commander William Travis entered sickbay.
"Ensign, I'm Admiral Madisons personal assistant, Hes informed me to keep an eye on Mr. Nesbitts condition. Also to try to learn of the diplomatic situation. When he is well let me know, i need to speak with him."
Travis's tone was to the point, his manner businesslike.

Commander Travis could see Nesbitt was awake. He walked over to the side of his bed.

"Ambassador, tell me about the treaty your working with. Who is it between?"

"I believe you hold the rank of Ensign,cutting off a senior officer is hardly a way to improve. You will finish informing me Mr. Nesbitt. Or shall i see the Station Ops officer?"

Travis watched as the Loxians bombared the Galaxy Class.

"Take some fire off the Venture, take us around it and fire on the attacking ships. Let her breathe"

"Aye sir."
Travis gets up.

Travis walks onto the bridge.

"My apoligies Captain i realize i was absent longer than i specified but something came up. I hope i wasn't replaced"

"I aggree, it appears we may have to fight to get out of this. How many ships are their Lieutenant?"

"Its good to be back Captain. I apoligize for my absence again. It will be good to be back to regular duty."
