"Are we ready to get to it then?"

OFF: Three crewmen on the Blackfire, and at least three on the Dragon; what fun. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Smoothly and slightly, Tom ran into Ops.

"Sorry I'm late General."

"Are we going to discuss exactly what we're about to do?" http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF: Been having some computer and mood problems. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

"Helm, match there course and speed."

Holo Helmsman : "Aye sir."

Tom looked at the unknown officer.

"Cmdr,"

Jestered Ken over.

"Who's at the Helm? Where's Hawk?"

"I'm glad we're at an agreement."

"Cmdr, make sure the Dragon is fully ready for this mission. I'm gonna glance over some reports on these Coalition Buggers, dismissed."

Tom and Ken returned from Kennedy Base Ops and went to the Captain's Ready Room.

Tom sat at his desk.

"So what do you think?"

"I don't about you, but it's about time I see what this ship and crew can do in a battle situation."

"Oh; see if Cmdr Galligar could look in on him."

OFF: Julia hasn't been around much either.

"I see your feeling better Lieutenant."

OFF1: Yah I noticed. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF2: To bad we're just sitting here.

"Hmmm. Commander, corrodinate a boarding plan with the Blackfire."

OFF: Trying to keep this going. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF: OFF: It don't appear it will matter, but we're moving this weekend; so I probably won't be able to post until Monday. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Tom entered the bridge and sat down.

"Report."

OFF: I guess that could work. To bad we couldn't have a whole crew of holograms. :biggrin:

Holo Helm: "The Blackfire has arrived at somesort of Romulan Space Station Captain."

Tom: "Good, pull up along side the Blackfire and open a channel."

Ensign: "Channel open Sir."

Tom: =/\=This is Capt Dillian to the Blackfire=/\=

Major Drex: =/\=Not yet, hold on until we contact you Blackfire Out=/\=

Tom: "Put it through."
