Twenty minutes to waste! thought Glen, as he began to play with the viewscreen controls. He zoomed in close on the area where they had beamed out the Boron Particle.

NE Watch then spoke as the comm station beeped, “..Sir? Fleet Captain Andone is hailing with an update..” the comm ops said.

“Please put her through, crewman,” replied the Captain.

=/\= Captain Andone. I didn’t expect to hear from you again so soon. I trust everything is going to plan. Thank Lt. Trainor for his help with the Boron Particle. Kord and Mthunzi have one missile ready and another is being prepared as we speak. =/\=

Just as the channel opened William returned to the bridge and took his place on the Science Station.

Andone’s image came up onto the screen, a filter obviously had been applied to unfocused the layout of the bridge, though from the off-blurred angle in spots it seemed spacious though presumably with all the consoles or stations along the bridge’s edge beyond someone in the middle behind Andone, and two others to left and right. The crew were clearly seen but the exact duties they performed weren’t clear.

=/\= Captain Glen, everything is set to go on our end here. My crew has finished configuring our weapons and defenses as we outlined, as well as prepared the torpedoes with the particles we brought with us for this fight. They’ve also confirmed our findings during our meeting that the Serpent’s rear areas of their ships are more vulnerable to attack due to higher energy emissions interfering with the shielding forms they use. We’ve also begun scans of the area of this reality and time period, as well as temporal scans here and in subspace looking for the signs of where the Serpents may arrive. So far we are showing nothing, but given their emergence seemed tied to this region I would theorize it is only a matter of time till something shows up. What is your status then? =/\= She asked.

Once he replied Drudoc nodded again, =/\= For now I might suggest you update your Starfleet of current events if you think its wise on an encoded channel. At the least they can be kept appraised if you think it wise on things. In either case, I am going to move my ship to 30,000km outside the system here to began more in depth scans, the local solar radiation is having some effect on the clarity of our quantum scans. Perhaps you might investigate the third planet? Maybe it might shed some light on why on our time it is destroyed and if its tied to these Serpents..=/\= She suggested, =/\= Unless you have a better idea? =/\= She inquired obviously willing to go with anything better Glen might suggest, again showing her more team work approach compared to the last round of 24th century Captain’s he had to deal with.
