Captain's Log: Stardate 50340.5 ~ The Missouri is on course to rendezvous with the science vessel U.S.S. Sagan in orbit around Gamma Organa II. She is currently studying the formation of a black hole in the Gamma Organa System. We are to transfer supplies and personnel and return to Starbase 225 for assignment to one of the fleets in the Dominion War. I feel this will be the last easy mission for the Missouri and her crew for quite some time.
The Captain left his ready room off the bridge. Walking to the Center seat, The XO left the seat for his on the Captain’s right. T’Garren was at the Tactical Station, Solak was at Ops to the left and forward of the Captain and Jared Kelley was at the helm, to the right of Solak.
“Captain’s on the Bridge.”, Thomas Kern the Executive Officer called out to the bridge crew.
“Very Good, XO. How long till we rendezvous with the Sagan?”
“Four hours, twenty five minutes, Sir.”
“Good, I have something to take care of, call me if there are any problems.”
T’Gerran spoke up from the tactical position, “Sir, we have not had any communication with the Sagan yet. We just entered communication range though, so I am not worried yet. It’s just I’m not picking up the Sagan’s transponder code, I should have picked that up as soon as we came into range.”
Kern spoke, “Maybe they’ve got a problem with their transponder.”
“Yes perhaps.”, T’Gerran said skeptically.
“T’Gerran monitor the situation, keep the XO informed.”, the Captain said as he entered the turbolift. “Deck 5.” The turbolift started to move immediately.
