The bridge had been mostly quiet in the absence of the Captain and First Officer. Any discussions were brief and focused on the tasks at hand. Many of the junior officers on watch wondered what the Admiral was telling them and what was in store for the Sentinel.

All were blithely unaware that the Captain was now in Sickbay being treated for a mysterious ailment and that the First Officer was assuming command.

Retrieving the escape pods kept their attention for a while, but once that was done, the officers could turn to bigger questions. Elsewhere in the ship, Engineering prioritized repairs, and Medical handled the overload of wounds brought onboard. Meanwhile, Security and Tactical personnel on the bridge were alert for any threats.

Science officers were working behind the scenes, and everyone on the bridge heard Mr. Stovik’s report.

=^= Stovik to Lieutenant Kross. Science has completed its preliminary review of the battle telemetry. Upon entering the system, significant interference saturated the gravimetric, electromagnetic, and subspace sensor bands, substantially degrading our ability to distinguish genuine vessels from the duplicate contacts. =^=

=^= The interference ceased in stages as the Klingon vessels departed at warp. The duplicate contacts disappeared during the same interval, although their decay pattern did not directly correspond with the reduction in interference. This suggests the two phenomena are related, but not necessarily generated by the same mechanism. We have not yet identified a reliable method of distinguishing genuine contacts from the duplicates. Science will continue analysis. =^=

That battle had been chaotic, and some of the junior officers were surprised by the tactics and technology the Klingons were employing. They wondered if the Sentinel would fare as well if the Klingons attacked again.

OOC: Started a new Bridge thread and provided an opportunity for Lt. Pierce to join the action. The Tactical station was manned by Thraz at first, but another officer had to take his place when he joined the Captain to talk to the Admiral.

The immediate aftermath of the battle is over, so everyone has a chance to look ahead, gather data, or strategize.

OOC: Thanks, I appreciate the opening :-) , I’m going to assume that Pierce was the officer that replaced Thraz

The battle was now over and Jon breathed a sigh of relief, they were in one piece which for any tactical officer , was the best you could hope for sometimes, he managed to get through his first battle on the Sentinal , now he waited for what came next but for now , he was pushing buttons on his console to see what if any tactical systems were damaged and to what extent
