Finn stepped out of the briefing room and onto the CIC. He made his way over to his seat and nodded to the relief officer there, taking over command. He glanced at a few status reports to make sure there were no pressing issues and then looked over to the helm station.

“Helm, set a course for the Scallax system, Warp 7.5, and let’s get moving. Keep an eye peeled for the Favereau so we can link up with them along the way.”

He settled back into the seat and waited for the familiar shift in the ship that would indicate they had gone to warp.

“Sir,” the duty officer stated. “Station Operations has confirmed the last crew member was returned approx 20 minutes ago.”

Hammond stepped into the C.I.C a warm cup of coffee in hand and kilo at his side. Late night calls had kept him up most the night and now the rushed deployment meant he would not likely sleep till late. “Commander,” he said.

Sean had been at Helm for a few moments, checking status reports and getting things ready. He had work to do to prepare for the mission ahead, but he wanted to get the Chimera going first.

“Course set, commander,” Moore called out. “Departing system and engaging warp… now.” He tapped the console and the ship lurched into motion. “ETA approximately 2 days, 12 hrs, sir.” The helmsman remained at his posting for the time being, ensure the beginning steps went smoothly.

Finn nodded, “Thank you Lieutenant. Feel free to see if you can shave off any of that time with magic pilot tricks or short cuts.”

Satisfied that their journey was underway he glanced over at Colonel Hammond and noticed the cup of coffee. He realized that he hadn’t yet taken the opportunity to get something for himself since he got dragged out of bed earlier in the morning. He stood and went over to one of the replicators to grab himself one. He decided on a mocha this morning to give himself a bit more comfort and then made his way over to where the Colonel was standing.

“Colonel, sorry about the early morning,” he said with a nod.

“mmm, Is what it is, I’m up early just did not get my workout in” he said with a grin. “I’ll have the knight start prepping I would like them out the gate the moment we drop out of warp, We should get a CAP up quickly” he noted he let out a sigh. “We got a lot to planning to do in the next 12hrs, the moment we drop out of warp the insurgents are gonna know we are in system. ”

Finn nodded, “I suppose the Chimera is not exactly subtle so you’re probably right. Let me know what you need for us to do to provide support once we get there. As we get closer we can figure out a more precise location to drop to impulse, maybe there are some features in the system that would at least allow us to get a bit of a jump on them.”

He requested the system be brought up on the view board, He looked over the system for gas giants with ionized rings or other features that might shied their approach. “If we can find the right place then maybe we an get a team in unnoticed?” he asked.
