=/\= 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.

=/\= 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. =/\=

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.

Freshly dressed Cross entered the bridge and made it quietly behind Glen’s chair listening , the female doctor then leaned over ‘’Captain just so you would know we have two new born babies onboard while the mother is doing fine’’ she whispered.
Cross was not expecting any answer instead she focused on the conversation between the two Captains.

Glen was rather happy they would have something to do that didn’t involve playing second fiddle in the grand symphony that was the fate of the Universe.

=/\= We can certainly go and investigate that third planet in the system =/\= Glen replied. As for contacting Starfleet, he would make that call on the way. Starfleet hadn’t been so quick off the marks to help the Merrimack. =/\= We will catch up again later? =/\= Glen replied.

Glen waited on Andone’s reply then turned back to the Bridge.

“Thank you for the personal update, Dr Cross. I hope the mother is doing well?” replied Glen.

Glen looked to the missing position at Helm and wondered when Kord was ever going to assign him a new Helm officer.

“Navigation, please take over at Helm. Set a course for the planet SFLAS J0013+02 (AB) c. Warp 5,” Glen announced.

He then looked to the Comm station where Bre would normally rule supreme, which now had Yeoman Hopkins as temporary cover.

“Please open a secure channel to Starfleet Command. Code factor 1.” Glen announced.
