Stardate: 90914.1735<br>
Scene: Bridge---->Observation Lounge<br>
MD: 9.0900<br>
Loren strode onto the bridge as soon as the lift doors parted. Visually
the bridge appeared the same as always, but underlying the sense of duty
was an air of intense cautiousness, and worry.
"Lt. Jerran, bring us out of warp and at station keeping just outside the
system," ordered Zane from the command chair flanked by Cardiff, Flint,
Stone, and Maril. Loren move over near tactical from where he could get a
good view of the main viewscreen and system M5578-B.
A flash of light strobed across the viewscreen as it focused on the system
and the first step of the mission, the fourth planet in the eight planet
system. "Shields are holding, sir," reported Krysa from Ops.
Even at a distance, this particular pulsar was emitting gamma radiation on
a magnitude matched by few catalogued pulsars. The fact that the system
possessed no precious minerals or life, added to the fact that a few hours
direct exposure could render a top of the line starship shielding system
useless, ensured that the Guardian's resting place remained known only to
top officials in the Starfleet Temporal Division.
Loren was so intently focused on the fourth planet, and the presence that
rested there, that he almost didn't hear Zane call for a senior staff
meeting in the observation lounge.
"You going to stand there all day," stated J.C. to the wide-eyed Loren.
Blinking at first slowly, Loren withdrew from the presence on the planet
to look at the CSO.
"Whaat...Oh, no, no. Just thinking," replied Loren turning to head for
the observation lounge.

"The pulsar is a fast rotator as far as pulsars go, but the FEYNMAN can't
afford to be directly exposed to it long even with her shields," stated
Flint as he pointed to the sectional slice of M5578-B.
Continuing with their disturbing habit, Stone picked up as soon as Flint's
sentence trailed off. "Therefore, the FEYNMAN will come in behind the
fourth planet, and take up station keeping on it's farthest side from the
pulsar. We will then put an away team on the planet, who will make
contact with the Guardian, and proceed with the mission from there."
The senior staff had already gone over the mission specific details days
ago, but Flint and Stone had argued that another would be necessary to
finalize mission details.
Both men paused to accept questions from the staff.
[NRPG: Questions?]

[NRPG: Just a vague little something to put us in the system with the
Guardian. I added the pulsar bit just to make things interesting <VBG>.]
