It was a half hour later when Fleet Captain Andone returned from Starbase 243. She did not look pleased or stood as one who had gotten news for a rescue being approved. Looking to Trainor as she came onto the bridge she said more or less calmly. “..Report, any findings from our probes?” she asked.

Tenzing looked up from his station and turned his attention to the Captain. “I’m transferring the data our probes found to your PaDD, Captain.” Lieutenant Commander Trainor said.

“Both systems have Orion presence and have defense systems in place that compose of warships and orbital platforms, ma’am.” The Operations Chief added. “Though I’m not certain which system is holding our people....”

“I am not sure how we are going to narrow down that search either, Captain” continued Lt. Frogue.

Drudoc listened then nodded slightly, “..Alright I think it best if we hold a quick staff meeting to get everyone and our departments on the same page..” She said tapping her comm badge =/\= Attention all department heads, staff briefing in 5 minutes in the briefing room! =/\= She said.

“Under normal circumstances, I should be able to sense where our people are,” Tenzing stated as he followed the Captain. “Though we’d have to get close enough to the systems for a visual and in doing so, we’d risk being targeted by the defense systems.” The Operations Chief added. Lieutenant Commander Trainor had become more comfortable in not relying too much on his abilities as a Betazoid after Q temporarily took them away, during his last trip to the Andromeda Galaxy.

”..Understood, we’ll go over that in the briefing..” Drudoc said with a nod heading into the briefing room then to await the rest of the senior staff to arrive.
