"I was a little curious as to why you held back for so long. The | |||
fact that Starfleet sends a SOLAR class, AGAMEMNON and two STORM class | |||
vessels points to the fact that you expected we'd be attacked." | |||
Tremaine remained silent. | |||
"I haven't heard of the PHOENIX or your escorts what fleet are you | |||
from?" | |||
"Commander, I'm under orders and those orders do not include | |||
answering the questions of the CO of a tin-can out on the periphery. I | |||
will disperse my ships to aid in the spread of the antidote and then be on | |||
my way." The face of the Captain was replaced by the starfield. | |||
"Well, I have to admit I'd like to meet him in a dark alley one | |||
day." | |||
Maril smiled sympathetically. "Look at the size of that monster!" | |||
Both men watched the task force split. | |||
"Well you keep saving the galaxy and one day you'll have one." | |||
Zane replied. | |||
"What about you, Captain?" | |||
"No I can't see taking a SOLAR class, a command cruiser means you | |||
have a task force commander or perhaps even the Admiral breathing down | |||
your neck all that time. Besides that third nacelle really detracts from | |||
the beauty. Looks like they backed in to another ship!" | |||
Zane sat back and enjoyed the conversation. It was nice to be | |||
able to just 'talk' with his friend without staring the death of billions | |||
in the face, as well as his own. | |||
"Sir, the PHOENIX signals ready." | |||
"Proceed with transport." Zane ordered. | |||
"What about an AGAMEMNON? You security types always like big | |||
guns. She certainly fits the bill." Maril asked as he carefully | |||
monitored the operation on his console. | |||
"Hmmmm. It would be nice to not have to tuck our tails between | |||
our legs. But I came out here to explore not become the Federation's 'Big | |||
Stick'" | |||
"Well, you must see something doen the line. Its getting rough | |||
out here and these aren't the safest ships to be in." | |||
"Hey she can hold her own. But..." He stroked the arm rest | |||
affectionately, feeling a little guilty for considering another. "...an | |||
ENDEAVOUR has a nice balance between brains and brawn." | |||
Both men smiled, satisfied with the mission's outcome as their | |||
thoughts drifted towards the future. | |||
"PHOENIX signals operation concluded. They're warping out." | |||
"Sensors show the compound has been dispersed through the RING's | |||
atmosphere. By the time the USS BANTING arrives the entire Ring should be | |||
plague free." Maril confirmed as he read the readouts. | |||
"Excellent. Helm take us home." | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just a short one to point us for home....NRPG to follow. | |||
