Tom had Ken represent him to General Mason; while he got himself ready.

Looking presentable, Tom left Stacy in charge of the Dragon and went to Station Ops.

OFF: Ken? Stacy? Where are you two?

Tom walked over to Sirius.

"Cmdr, you'll accompany me to the settlement."

"Lt Hawk, you have the bridge."

Hawk : "Aye Captain."

Tom could hear consern in Neal's voice.

OFF: So you know, Neal's gone for the time being.

Trel: "We have no need of your help Captain. Now please leave are orbit immediately."

Tom: "We have uptained certain reports about a potential attack by the Torrans."

Trel: "Transmit those reports to us."

Tom: "You'll only recieve them, face to face."

Trel goes silent and thinks.

Trel: "Just you, no one else."

Tom: "I don't believe my crew would allow that Govenor, at least not alone."

Trel: "Fine, two can transport down, no more!"

The channel is closed.

"Cmdr, I suppose you suggest that you go, not me huh."

OFF1: We already did. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

OFF2: Check the ready room board.

OFF1: Ow ya, *smack* I forgot.:)

"Is the rift sealed?"

"Status of ship's systems?"

OFF2: Neal, do you want to be acting CE?

"Mr Hawk, can we out run the wave?"

An hour later...

Tom sits down at his chair.

"Anything to report?"

"Mr Garcia, is there a way to go around the infected space, and continue to Elexsa at warp?"

"Well then, Mr Hawk, set a course for home, Warp 7."

OFF1: Ok, I've sent my message.

(Edited by Tom Dillian at 9:41 pm on Sep. 6, 2003)

Mr Garcia, any change in the scans of the energy reading?

(OFF: Ok, I'm just use to Will.)

Sometime Later...

"Those gardens were splended Governor."

"It's getting kinda late; I think we should be getting back to the Dragon."

Trel: "See you tomorrow?"

Tom: Smiled "Tomorrow."

=/\=Dillian to Transporter Room One=/\=

Three to beam up.

Tom, Patrick, and Ken dematerialized.

OFF: Deja vu

"Ok, begin preparations to close the rift."

OFF: Does this still leave us with the particles?

"Do some thorough scans of the particles. See if there's any differences between an average particle and these."

"You have the bridge Commander."

Tom enters his ready room.
