The Captain walked onto the Bridge and since they had been on leave everyone snapped to attention while Dallas called out

“Captain on the Bridge.”

“As you were.” He said as he made his way to his seat and looked over at his XO and long time friend Kolar.
“Well we don’t have to like it but do we have to go.” He said between them.

“Ops status?” He asked.

Parker CO

“I guess that’s why they are called orders. Sir.”

“Engineering ids Green. Security reports Weapons systems green. Sick Bay is green to go. Science reports sensors are good to go. All around the board is green Sir.” Dallas called out.

For is part Dallas had never received the punishment he had expected from the Captain for disobeying orders and going back to the Bridge after being confined to his quarters on the last mission. True he played an important part in helping survive the last mission because he did disobey the order but then again Starship Captains still did not look lightly on that. It was worse not knowing what the man was thinking and if that shoe was going to drop or not. Maybe that was the Captains plan. If it was it was working.

Dallas OPs

Kolar looked at the Captain as his friend and superior officer took his seat on the bridge. “You know this is worse than a terrible idea. They are sending out their to mop up someone’s failure with a neck shinier than yours and mine put together.” Kolar knew as well as the next guy orders were orders. Still, he needed it to be on the record before they set off.

Kolar

“Oh I agree.” He said between them. “If you checked Brax service record you will find he is a career diplomat even when he served as a Captain it was a diplomatic mission. A big deal with the Romulan resettlement negotiations seems to be his claim to fame. So why is this guy in charge of a clandestine weapons shipment?”

The Captain knew he could think out loud to Kolar. To the others it was orders were orders.

Parker CO

“A lot of shady stuff went down in the resettlement camps. Where there is need there is an unsavory element. Maybe he met someone with contacts to the black market and instead of destroying the weapons someone from command wanted them sent to the weapons division of Starfleet on the down low?” It was just speculation but not entirely impossible.

He paused after he spoke. “I shouldn’t hypothesize about a person’s character. At least not to this degree.” Kolar was kind at heart t but he knew the evil that lurked in the heart of even ‘good’ persons and he wasn’t certain about the Admiral.

The Helmsman turned in his seat.

“Captain coordinates programmed in and we are green to leave dock and proceed.” He said. “Minimum thrusters once dock releases?”

“No Helm. Punch us out of here. Just don’t break anything.” The Captain said.

Knowing Brax was probably watching them take off he decided to make a small statement.

“Dock is released. Full Thrusters Aye Captain.” The Helm called out.

Dallas smiled a little.

I guess the old man still has a little rebel in him

The ships thrusters came at full. Space Dock began immediately objected and issues minimum thristers orders but the Olinski bolted out with not a reply. The last thing they heard from the Space Dock officer in charge was something about a complaint being made to the SB CO.

Dallas had the feeling it was not going to go very far. Fleet Captains like Parker were given significant latitude.

Dallas Ops

The Captain settled into his chair.

“Warp 5 when ready Helm.” He ordered.

“Aye Sir. Warp 5.” Helm replied.

After a second the view screen seemed to stretch out and pins of lights became streaks in open space followed b the familiar tunnel of warp space.

“Security.” The Captain called out and motioned with his left had to approach while never turning around.

Parker CO

Abbie felt herself sway with the jump into warp. She knew it was stupid the inertial damping meant there was no actual movement to be felt, it was an optical illusion but she swayed non the less.

She was just settling down at her station when she heard Captain Parker call out her station, Abbie groaned she had hoped to blend into the scenery for a duty shift or two. She saw the hand call her over. She moved from her station to the captain’s chair. “Yes Sir? Security and weapons are all reporting green.”

Kolar XO

The ship remained at warp for a few hours before coming to a halt just on the edge of an asteroid belt. There was no immediate sign of wreckage or the missing ship. The science station would detect a fading warp trail headed in the opposite direction as the Olinski.
