Once the conference room meeting had ended things move relatively quickly. NE Badu at the helm turned once the Captain and others returned. “..Dock yard control for K-5 has cleared us to get underway, all systems report green across the board sir..” He said.

“Take us out, one eighth impulse, Mr Badu, and mind those pylons,” Glen instructed, “then plot a course. Second star to the right, and straight on ‘tll morning!”

”..Aye sir! ETA to the first set of coordinates at warp 4 will be 2 days!” NE Badu said taking the ship out. Angling about the Merrimack was soon clear of the dock yard and went to a leisure warp speed.

“Well, whatever ‘morning’ that is, that will be fine!” Glen replied.

Glen thought that the information that they had on this mission was sketchy at best. Turning in his chair to face the Comms, he asked Inola, “Has any further information been sent from Commander Delany’s office regarding the race we are to contact?”

Inola looked down at the console for a moment before turning to respond. “No sir.”
-Inola, Comms

“Hmm! Keep all channels open, monitor for any hails!” Glen told Inola

Turning to Science, he told Lt. Grey, “Enable periodic scans for subspace or other anomalies, please.”

Turning to Security, he told Hal, “Enable threat detection and automatic alert logic monitoring. I don’t want any surprises.”

Glen sat back into the Captain’s chair and watched the starscape on the viewscreen. He hated all the waiting as they travelled the vast distances through space. Really, they should use this time to prepare, but how could you prepare for the completely unknown.

Glen asked his First Officer, “Kord, do you have any feelings or pertinent thoughts?”
