Scene: Captain’s Quarters, USS HOOD | |||
Jack stared at the screen in surprise and read his terse orders through for the third time. He kept telling himself that he must have missed some small fact that would allow him to understand the orders. Something that would make it all seem reasonable. But there wasn’t much to the entire message and there was no way around it. With a shrug he sent his acknowledgement back to Command and then forwarded the orders to the first officer and chief engineer. With in seconds his comm was beeping. | |||
“Yes Mr. Gar?” He said pleasantly, noting the sour look on the Andorian’s face. | |||
[Sir I don’t understand these orders.] Gar began bluntly. | |||
“Well that is disappointing commander because I was hoping you would be able to shed some light on them for me. I take it you haven’t forwarded any reports to Starfleet Engineering outlining deficiencies with the ship?” | |||
[There are no problems with HOOD!] Gar assured him. [All our damage during the fight with the Klingons was made good before we sailed. We are fully loaded with both supplies and parts. There is no reason for this.] | |||
Jack nodded. “Very well Commander you’ve seen the orders. Please compile a list of whatever could be addressed while we are in dry dock. Steele out.” He thought it best to close the channel before the engineer working himself into a froth. | |||
He looked at the orders one last time. HOOD was to report to Starbase 10 and then 24 hours later she was to park in the Starbase’s repair dock where she would remain for a period of 7 days. | |||
He shrugged as he closed down the terminal. Hopefully there would be more answers once they reached the Starbase. | |||
Respectfully, | |||

CAPT Jack Steele | |||
Commanding, USS HOOD NCC 1703 | |||
