Just before 0900 and Dante was already seated in the War Room, coffee number… something… before him and his PaDD with notes laid out ready. His officers were going to have to get the ship ready for departure today, in a few hours. His stomach growling reminded him he had taken no breakfast, and he thought he might take a break after the meeting to catch up with Natasha, eat and see how she was today before continuing with the tasks at hand.

Looking up, he glanced out the window to the view of the station that the Saracen was docked at. Her 10 year refit was complete. She had new engines, computer upgrades and sensor upgrades. She had also been painted, to reflect her 10 year anniversary status. The Pendragon Class Battle-cruiser now sported a new, darker grey paint scheme, with a red twin bar racing stripe on each side of the hull. That stripe contained the ships name and registry, and ended in a gold Starfleet insignia representing the arrow-head. It looked very sporty.

Taking a drink of his coffee, he waited for his staff to make an appearance.
