"Alright that's enough from all of you," Faraness said with a very firm commanding voice as she stood to attention;
"I will have have you come into my office and use it as a fighting ground. Commander you should know better to control yourself, and Lt Greenwood you do not need to provoke this situation. The three of you calm down and take a seat now."
She cleared her throat before continuing.
"Argus, it is not against our prime directive to have a few scans run to confirm you are exactly what you say you are. Just as it is not against the prime directive for a Betazed counsilor to tell their captain if a person is lying or not. What was suggested was to have our engineers check you out to confirm this in the same form of matter. There is no need to pull you apart to tell if your program is what you say it is. Infact there isnt even any physical contact needed at all. So if you are indeed the sentient being as you claim to be, and you truely are here to protect the Commander here, then surely you should want to allow us to simply runs a few scans to be on the safe side."
Faraness had a very serious look of authority on her face. She refused to watch her senior officers get into a fight after only meeting them not more than three hours ago. So far her first impressions were different than she thought they would be. To clear things up before a response could be made, she spoke up again.
"Oh and if any of you talk out of line once more ill have you teleported straight to the brig!"

<A red glow streamed through space as it sped towards the Borg vessel, only for it to be blocked by a green shimmer>

Something was wrong and the Daniel knew it. First there was this odd feeling that the atmosphere about him had suddenly changed. It was getting harder to breath and the vessel rocked back and forth forcing him to grab hold of the shelf in front of him. This was the young Ensign's first experience with a real situation in which the need for such measures was needed. True, there were simulation drills designed to prepare him for the inevitable event but it still came to him as a surprise.
As the rooms lights flashed and orders to evacuate Deck five repetitiously sounded his skin turned as pail white and a look of concern crossed his face. For a moment, his conscious effort to block his empathic abilities weakened enough to realize he was not the only crewmember experiencing such emotions.
"Oh no," he thought, "where is Dr. David"
Quickly he regained command of his Betazoidian abilities and his thoughts. Daniel began to think threw the procedures necessary in under such conditions. He was already on duty and in a storage area just off of sickbay when startling interruption brought him from his methodical inventory of medical supplies to the harsher reality of an emergency aboard the vessel. He moved towards the door and familiar hiss of the door opening revealed the ward was vacant and he was the only sentient still occupying the area.
Looking about he absently reached for the medical recorder that was always present on his hip. It was there as always and he sighed with relief. His was special unit with the added features necessary he required if he was to be able to diagnose with it. Being completely illiterate was more than a problem; it was a nescience he had come to accept as a part of his existence. Fortunately, him he had found numerous ways to avoid detection and ways to accomplish the same necessary functions as reading. There were those who had already been informed of his learning disability and the explanations as to why he required his own recorder as much as his own communication badge.
His ward was surprisingly empty of patients and for that he was grateful. Ensign Daniel Elbrun knew the deck was being sealed off. He quickly grabbed one of the cases used by away teams to be ready for a medical emergency then boarded a near by turbo lift and prepared to evacuate to another deck but without explicit instructions from either the Captain or a fellow medical officer he was at a loss as to where. He was aware that the mess hall was often used in cases like this and so made the assumption that that is where he needed to go.
"Computer," he asked quickly, "has there been any orders as to where sickbay is . . . to . . be re-relocated to?"
His words came harder as his ability to get enough air into his lings increased in difficulty. Now, with his faculties temporarily reduced do to lack of oxygen he would be forced to make a decision. If they were the wrong there may be reproductions.
"Sickbay is reassigned to the mess hall," the familiar, unaffected voice returned.
"Mess Hall Please," Daniel said and he felt the lift move.
It was a habit of his to speak politely to everyone, even if what he was speaking to was inanimate. He waited anxiously for the lifts door to reopen and when they did he headed straight for the familiar gathering hall hoping to find a superior officer that might be able to give him some direction.

"Sir, shields are down to 62 percent, deck 5 is completely evacuated, 4 injured. Borg ship is nearly crippled but is regenerating. suggest we destroy the sphere before it adapts." Naquv said firmly. he was still just an ensign, and his suggestion quite obvious, but he felt it was necessary. He had a feeling the battle would be over, or at least half of it, the problem with the sentient AI was the other more techinical half.

"Dogmeat, you dont know anything about me, nor my design. You threaten me, Andrews by having engineers open me up, Karrath is pointing a phaser at me, so who do you think is the one whos being threatening? All I have done is growled, I am not being threatening, you organic dogmeat's are. So I suggest you go back to whatever hole you came out of Dogmeat before you loose something vital to your reproduction capabilities. All you know is I am a Mark I, Prototype, AI ran canine Unit.

"Lets just destroy the shuttle, it will save everyone alot of trouble. Not to mention, if the Borg gets their hands on the shuttle they become more of a pain in the arse, but if we get our hands on the shuttle, guess what we will destroy ourselves to understand it, either way we are screwed. So let me lock on a few torpedo's to the darn thing and destroy it. It will save us all the trouble of fighting over it." Urban said as his console beeped.
"Borg sphere dropping out of Transwarp......AND! their firing." Urban said as the Borg weapons fired on the Concordia, sparks flew everywhere and Urban grabbed his console to keep his balance while he brought the ship to red alert and returned fire. He also remodulated the shields every 5 seconds to keep the borg from adapting.

U.S.S. Concordia - Bridge
Brackman frowned at Urban's suggestion and was about to reply when the ship shook. Brackman managed to keep his balance by grabbing onto the seat.
After a moment, he said, "Just so you know, Lieutenant, QAI is a sentient AI. With his primary processors onboard the shuttle, destroying that shuttle would cripple him. It would be as if I put you in a vegetative state - you'd still be alive, but you'd be severely impaired. I'm certain Starfleet regulations have rules about attacking a sentient being unprovoked."
The ship took another hit, shuddering violently from the impact. Brackman paused briefly before continuing.
"Also, as a sentient being, QAI does have self-preservation instincts. He won't exactly let you destroy him at your whim and he won't be happy that you tried to do so either.

So let me lock on a few torpedo's to the darn thing and destroy it. It will save us all the trouble of fighting over it." Urban said as his console beeped.
"Borg sphere dropping out of Transwarp......AND! their firing."

After a moment, he said, "Just so you know, Lieutenant, QAI is a sentient AI. With his primary processors onboard the shuttle, destroying that shuttle would cripple him. It would be as if I put you in a vegetative state - you'd still be alive, but you'd be severely impaired. I'm certain Starfleet regulations have rules about attacking a sentient being unprovoked."
The ship took another hit, shuddering violently from the impact. Brackman paused briefly before continuing.
"Also, as a sentient being, QAI does have self-preservation instincts. He won't exactly let you destroy him at your whim and he won't be happy that you tried to do so either. And believe me, when QAI isn't happy, you want to be lightyears away. Besides, what kind of Starfleet officer takes the easy way out?"

Faraness looked puzzled and amost amazed at the conversation that had just taken place. She had read Saul's history but for some reason it mentioned nothing of his father.
"So let me get this right," Faraness said still trying to get her berrings around the situation; "Mr. Karrath your father was known to be dead by yourself and Argus here has been sent by his master to tell you that he infact is not indeed dead at all but he is in a slave camp?"
She raised an eyebrow and turned to Argus.
"So how were those images taken? And are there any ways we can get them confirmed to be genuine?"

At their current speed, they were about two minutes away.

Russ never liked the word 'decorations' as it sounded too femenine for what he was putting up. He took special precautions for his automobile parts.
Business was slow at the moment, just two people came in so far. So he started thinking, about how he regretted losing his three closest friends, his brother Mike, his best friend William, and his dog Samson. All had died while he escaped in a rogue Orion pirate attack , but their ingenuity only went so far.
The four of them were in a freight business together, and in the attack both Sam and Mike were killed instantly, while a plasma-burned Will beamed Russ off at his dying breath. Hilliard managed to create a distress beacon from his old 2300's era communicator. When he was rescued, he took up the bar because it was far from the attack and re doing the freight business left too many memories.

To warn you of a terrible threat that has occured. While I was carrying on my fathers work to make androids something went terribly wrong. They malfunctioned and were somehow infused with a energy that I have never seen before. They ran and took over a ship after slaughtering a town's population to acquire the vessel. They somehow became hybrids and I am unsure on their threat level. I managed to get away with the plans for my newest invention. A Mark I, AI canine Guardian Unit. He is the greatest of my inventions yet. When your Father and I last spoke, he mentioned he had two children, I programmed the Argus to seek you out on the event I died. If your receiving this message then I am infact dead. As my last act of goodness to my name and my father's name, I have given Argus the Coodinates to your Father's location. As well as Tactical information on the Hybrid Androids. Argus, is my greatest friend and now he is yours. I swore to your father I would protect you and sense I am dead and cant do it, I have sent Argus to do it for me. Trust him and everything will be alright." the image of Doctor Soong's son disappeared as he waved his hand goodbye.

"This was a recording meant for you." Argus said before running the message.
"Hello, Saul. I was a friend of your fathers. I have programmed the Argus unit to seek out your sister, but she was dead, Argus was programmed to find the next in line, you. To warn you of a terrible threat that has occured. While I was carrying on my fathers work to make androids something went terribly wrong. They malfunctioned and were somehow infused with a energy that I have never seen before. They ran and took over a ship after slaughtering a town's population to acquire the vessel. They somehow became hybrids and I am unsure on their threat level. I managed to get away with the plans for my newest invention. A Mark I, AI canine Guardian Unit. He is the greatest of my inventions yet. When your Father and I last spoke, he mentioned he had two children, I programmed the Argus to seek you out on the event I died. If your receiving this message then I am infact dead. As my last act of goodness to my name and my father's name, I have given Argus the Coodinates to your Father's location. As well as Tactical information on the Hybrid Androids. Argus, is my greatest friend and now he is yours. I swore to your father I would protect you and sense I am dead and cant do it, I have sent Argus to do it for me. Trust him and everything will be alright." the image of Doctor Soong's son disappeared as he waved his hand goodbye.

<Victor E. Fleech, Vernemeton Station, Corridors>
Brackman? Afgrijselijk!
What was a man like Brackman doing on this side of the galaxy? Creeps like him belong in Arkham and the like!
Brackman completely occupied Victor's thoughts, so he did not even consider to look if he was going the right way.
He is the scourge of science, the definition of Pariah!
The man's work was not even spoken of, merely vaguely referred to. Several science councils really wanted to speak to him, starfleet's supposedly amongst them. As well as being in high demand on certain universities and not for lectures.
Another turn brought Victor to the central lift. He did not have to wait long for it to open, when it did he stepped in and said in a muffled voice: "Brug". The lift gave a short soft bleep, like an error message. After which Fleech added in a clear voice: "Bridge".
The man who had been occupying Fleech's though was swiftly replaced by another man. Another man of whom he knew little, but owed so much to. Even being named after him. He had been a starfleet officer aswell. He had worked as a security officer on a starfleet base. Victor had never forgiven him for what he did, which was why he also did not enter the starfleet academy, even when his mother and grandfather liked him to. He had gone of to university, so he could become a full-fledged scientist. Instead he got contracted at his former secondary school and did little research. Is that why he had joined this mission. to finally do the research he had always wanted to do?
<Victor E. Fleech, Vernemeton station, Bridge>
The lift made a short bleep, after which the doors opened. Walking forward Fleech entered the bridge, his mind wandering of again. The central chairs looked comfortable, but Victor had no interest in occupying them. Or atleast not of a station like this. While greeting the personal at work on the bridge he walked through it towards the officer's room. A more formal meeting was in place and this room would be the stage for that for the times to come.
After replicating a coffee from the sole replicator, he took place at the seat which held his name on a small board on the table infront of it. Greeting the officers already there, he noticed the captain and other higher ranked officers were not there yet.
Still of with Brackman no doubt.

"More like a scientist that fell from grace," muttered Brackman under his breath.
Brackman shifted his position to face the newcomers. He wondered briefly why Rangwere seemed so off, going from outright rudeness to being agreeable within the span of half an hour or so, before taking a deep breath and sighing.
"It seems my research shuttle has been stranded in an asteroid field a couple of lightyears from here. The exact coordinates are unknown to me and QAI. To add to the situation, a Borg sphere is expected to arrive within two hours. My shuttle contains information, experiments, and many other things that you really don't want in the Borg's possession."
"Destroying it isn't much of an option - it would be time-consuming and QAI wouldn't like the fact that you're also destroying his primary processors, not to mention the Borg would have destroyed half your ship before you're even halfway done. Saving it would be the better option, since my shuttle contains research on anti-Borg technology and other potentially revolutionary and politially-destablizing research."
Brackman glanced at his wrist device before adding, "Oh, and I forgot to mention. The shuttle has suffered a cascade failure and many of its systems are too badly damaged to be repaired. I'll need parts from a working shuttle to replace the damaged parts. Preferably from that new shuttle class, what was it called?" Brackman frowned for a moment before saying, "Well, anyway, really any shuttle built rather recently would do, but that new class is the most compatible.
Brackman glanced at his wrist device again before continuing, "But that's long term. If we can't save my shuttle, there isn't much point in worrying how to fix it, is there? And doing it quickly might be be helpful. The Borg sphere might be damaged, from what QAI reports, but it is continuing repairs as we speak. As far as I know, it will be completely repaired by the time it arrives and then we'll have a few more problems on our hands."

Brackman opened his mouth to add something but was interrupted by QAI. He closed his mouth quickly as QAI began to speak.
"The shuttle's coordinates have been determined though the analysis of the amount of time taken to arrive at Vernemeton Station and direction of arrival to the station, with adjustments for course corrections. The coordinates have been sent to you, Dr. Brackman, and can be accessed at any time."
There was a brief pause before QAI continued. "Tactical update. The Borg sphere is still estimated to arrive in under 2 hours. Scans indicate their repairs are proceeding quickly and will be near completion when they arrive. Survival percentage adjusted to compensate. New survival percentage is 4%."

**She listened very carefully rather than speaking.** "Not a problem sir." **Were the only words she spoke through the enitire meeting. She was very nervous about a run in with the borg. She had never actually faced the borg in battle. During WOlf 359 she was on training very far from the system and then she was stationed in the beta quadrant. Therefore she had not been formally introduced to the Borg as of yet and she was quite afraid that she may get that chance sooner than she had hoped.**

Russ put the finishing touches on his new Hub, the final thing being an old neon sign that had 'open' and 'closed' written on it. He had some trouble making it work, but with one request and a few tools he got the minute amount of energy he needed. From his view from behing the bar, he sized up everything. On the left at the entrance, there was a sign above the Door that said The Hub. The sign had a replicated automobile hubcap with big letters across it. Beyond that there were tables and chairs near the front with games, specifically Billiards lined up at the back. On the right side was his collections of various items.
Satisfied with his work he switched the sign to the 'off ' position and left for his quarters, which were relatively small and beside his Hub.

Shepard stepped into the office, with Alyssa right behind him. He raised his hand, and saluted the captain. "Commander Ian Shepard of the Concordia, reporting in, ma'am. Our ship has just recently arrived, and my transporter crews are offloading the last of the supplies from Avalon Station now."

<Victor E. Fleech, Vernemeton Station, Corridors>
Brackman? Afgrijselijk!
What was a man like Brackman doing on this side of the galaxy? Creeps like him belong in Arkham and the like!
Brackman completely occupied Victor's thoughts, so he did not even consider to look if he was going the right way.
He is the scourge of science, the definition of Pariah!
The man's work was not even spoken of, merely vaguely referred to. Several science councils really wanted to speak to him, starfleet's supposedly amongst them. As well as being in high demand on certain universities and not for lectures.
Another turn brought Victor to the central lift. He did not have to wait long for it to open, when it did he stepped in and said in a muffled voice: "Brug". The lift gave a short soft bleep, like an error message. After which Fleech added in a clear voice: "Bridge".
The man who had been occupying Fleech's though was swiftly replaced by another man. Another man of whom he knew little, but owed so much to. Even being named after him. He had been a starfleet officer aswell. He had worked as a security officer on a starfleet base. Victor had never forgiven him for what he did, which was why he also did not enter the starfleet academy, even when his mother and grandfather liked him to. He had gone of to university, so he could become a full-fledged scientist. Instead he got contracted at his former secondary school and did little research. Is that why he had joined this mission. to finally do the research he had always wanted to do?
<Victor E. Fleech, Vernemeton station, Bridge>
The lift made a short bleep, after which the doors opened. Walking forward Fleech entered the bridge, his mind wandering of again. The central chairs looked comfortable, but Victor had no interest in occupying them. Or atleast not of a station like this. While greeting the personal at work on the bridge he walked through it towards the officer's room. A more formal meeting was in place and this room would be the stage for that for the times to come.
After replicating a coffee from the sole replicator, he took place at the seat which held his name on a small board on the table infront of it. Greeting the officers already there, he noticed the captain and other higher ranked officers were not there yet.
Still of with Brackman no doubt.

Faraness stood up and saluted the Commander and Lt. Commander.
"Welcome to Starbase 384 Commander. Although I wouldnt get too comfortable just yet." She said in a welcoming tone.
She then indiscreetly points to Mr brackman.
"This is Mr Gustaf Brackman. He is a civilian scientist of a sort. He is also the U.S.S Concordia's first mission in the Delta Quadrant. Please take a seat."
She then took her seat again and turned towards Gustaf.
"Mr Brackman please explain the current situation to the Commander."

"More like a scientist that fell from grace," muttered Brackman under his breath.
Brackman shifted his position to face the newcomers. He wondered briefly why Rangwere seemed so off, going from outright rudeness to being agreeable within the span of half an hour or so, before taking a deep breath and sighing.
"It seems my research shuttle has been stranded in an asteroid field a couple of lightyears from here. The exact coordinates are unknown to me and QAI. To add to the situation, a Borg sphere is expected to arrive within two hours. My shuttle contains information, experiments, and many other things that you really don't want in the Borg's possession."
"Destroying it isn't much of an option - it would be time-consuming and QAI wouldn't like the fact that you're also destroying his primary processors, not to mention the Borg would have destroyed half your ship before you're even halfway done. Saving it would be the better option, since my shuttle contains research on anti-Borg technology and other potentially revolutionary and politially-destablizing research."
Brackman glanced at his wrist device before adding, "Oh, and I forgot to mention. The shuttle has suffered a cascade failure and many of its systems are too badly damaged to be repaired. I'll need parts from a working shuttle to replace the damaged parts. Preferably from that new shuttle class, what was it called?" Brackman frowned for a moment before saying, "Well, anyway, really any shuttle built rather recently would do, but that new class is the most compatible.
Brackman glanced at his wrist device again before continuing, "But that's long term. If we can't save my shuttle, there isn't much point in worrying how to fix it, is there? And doing it quickly might be be helpful. The Borg sphere might be damaged, from what QAI reports, but it is continuing repairs as we speak. As far as I know, it will be completely repaired by the time it arrives and then we'll have a few more problems on our hands."

Hilliard finished putting up all of the decorations in his new establishment. He wasn't much of a designer, but he tried to put some appropriate decorations on his wall for a earth 1980's theme. The 'decorations' were all stuff of his own, the things he bought from odd shops around earth. He was somewhat of an expert on that particular era, he always liked that era, with it's wild music and such. but his favorite thing of all was vintage cars, which was reflected on by his pub, or bar or whatever he called it, he didn't care, to he thought, it's just the Hub, nothing more.

Brackman opened his mouth to add something but was interrupted by QAI. He closed his mouth quickly as QAI began to speak.
"The shuttle's coordinates have been determined though the analysis of the amount of time taken to arrive at Vernemeton Station and direction of arrival to the station, with adjustments for course corrections. The coordinates have been sent to you, Dr. Brackman, and can be accessed at any time."
There was a brief pause before QAI continued. "Tactical update. The Borg sphere is still estimated to arrive in under 2 hours. Scans indicate their repairs are proceeding quickly and will be near completion when they arrive. Survival percentage adjusted to compensate. New survival percentage is 4%."

She then stood up from her seat.
"Well Mr. Shepard you and your crew fly safe and we expect to see you back here in one peace." She said as she looked towards the stations counselor who was also in the room.
"Mr Andrews, would you like to join them on their first mission? I'd like you to look after Mr. Brackman here while on the U.S.S Concordia."

**She listened very carefully rather than speaking.** "Not a problem sir." **Were the only words she spoke through the enitire meeting. She was very nervous about a run in with the borg. She had never actually faced the borg in battle. During WOlf 359 she was on training very far from the system and then she was stationed in the beta quadrant. Therefore she had not been formally introduced to the Borg as of yet and she was quite afraid that she may get that chance sooner than she had hoped.**

Russ put the finishing touches on his new Hub, the final thing being an old neon sign that had 'open' and 'closed' written on it. He had some trouble making it work, but with one request and a few tools he got the minute amount of energy he needed. From his view from behing the bar, he sized up everything. On the left at the entrance, there was a sign above the Door that said The Hub. The sign had a replicated automobile hubcap with big letters across it. Beyond that there were tables and chairs near the front with games, specifically Billiards lined up at the back. On the right side was his collections of various items.
Satisfied with his work he switched the sign to the 'off ' position and left for his quarters, which were relatively small and beside his Hub.

Brackman opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by QAI.
"The Borg sphere has completed repairs to its transwarp drive. Recalculating...ETA is now 2 hours. Additionally, the shuttle's survival percentage has been recalculated to 7%."
Brackman was momentarily aghast at this new development before managing to compose himself again.
"Well, Captain, if you think destroying my shuttle is the best option, you'll have to do it quickly. There is a small problem though. The shuttle itself has been designed against structural collapse, so even if you penetrate the shields - and that's a rather big if since QAI is controlling them - it will still take quite a while for you to destroy it. Not to mention the fact that the Borg will be there when you arrive."
"You have no idea what kind of technology is on that shuttle, but saving it seems rather contradictory to Starfleet principles, so despite the fact that my shuttle holds a sentient AI, could accelerate the Federation and Starfleet's research by decades and has the technology to combat the Borg and win, you want to destroy it."

Shepard and Reid took the turbolift down the transporter room, and set their coordinates to the command deck of Starbase 384. They materialized in Transporter Room 1 on Vernemeton's Deck 7A. Unfamiliar with the layout of a Jupiter-class starbase, it took them a fewe minutes to find an information terminal and commit a basic map of the station to memory. Luckily, the station was relatively small, having only forty-five inhabitable decks, as opposed to over 250 on a Stardock-class station.
"Computer," Ian queried, "locate the commander of this installation." The computer chimed, and responded: "Captain Faraness Rangwere is on Deck 2A, in the administrative offices."
"Good," he said. "There should be a turbolift this way," he pointed. "C'mon, we'd best report into the captain."

*After walking out of the CSO Office she returned to her office with Mr. Martin, she walking in and ordered the lights on and went to her desk where boxes were stacked up on the floor.*
looking back at Mr. Martin she nodded, "See, I haven't nearly finished unpacking. I suppose it is illogical to have so many personal materials, but my mind tends to want it all around."

"Hmm, yes indeed." He says as he spots something on a table across the room. He strides quickly over to it and picks it up.
"Is this a first edition copy of Darwin's Origin of Species? I thought they'd all been lost hundreds of years ago, this is a priceless treasure, not just in science but in writing." His eyes were wide with glee.

*Stella nodded at him with a smile*
"Yes Sir, that is what it is, I found it at a shop in San Fransisco. Owner had no idea what he had. I also got a first print or "Mien Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, what an amazing piece of work, I do believe that the borg have grasped the very concepts writen in this book." She chuckled to herself after speaking.
"You're such a nerd Stella." she thought to herself

"Hmm, nice." He turns some pages as he examines it.
He turns and queries,"How can i help?"

"Well if you would like to, there are picture frames in this box, and I want to hand them on that wall." she said showing him a box and handing him a hammer.

"Alright," He says cheerfully.
He walks over with the stuff and telekenetically lifts the picture frames into place an fixes them where they should be. He repeats this, slowly making progress.

Bridge
Naquv had finished with his reports and gotten all of the other reports from his other officers. It was all ready for his new exec. there was nothing else to do but wait and continue running scans on his section of the ship.
At first, he could barely feel it, the pain was so unnoticeable he didn't take any note. But the pain very slowly became more noticeable, intense and eating him from his brain outwards. There was no writhing in pain but in a loud wisper he said,
"Lieutenant, I need to go to sickbay. Now. I request no escort." he did not wait for an answer as he stumbled to the turbolift.

Lt. Sonak, Starbase 384, promenade
Sonak quickened his pace taking the lead, hoping to quicken their stroll through the stations promenade. It worked slightly he estimated that they complete their tour 19 seconds sooner.
Noticing the various shops in case the was a "disturbance of peace" near one, after all he was the chief of security.

(OFF: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but being a quarter Vulcan and a quarter Betazoid isn't enough to make one telekinetic. In fact, neither of them are telekinetic even when pure-bloods.)
Commander Ian Shepard - Bridge, U.S.S. Concordia
Shepard and Reid took the turbolift down the transporter room, and set their coordinates to the command deck of Starbase 384. They materialized in Transporter Room 1 on Vernemeton's Deck 7A. Unfamiliar with the layout of a Jupiter-class starbase, it took them a fewe minutes to find an information terminal and commit a basic map of the station to memory. Luckily, the station was relatively small, having only forty-five inhabitable decks, as opposed to over 250 on a Stardock-class station.
"Computer," Ian queried, "locate the commander of this installation." The computer chimed, and responded: "Captain Faraness Rangwere is on Deck 2A, in the administrative offices."
"Good," he said. "There should be a turbolift this way," he pointed. "C'mon, we'd best report into the captain."
