Mission:
Mission 76 - Home comings
Location: USS Sartoga bridge
Lee had come out of his ready room and sat in his command chair:"Get me Captain Weatherlight, Commanders Winter and Coleman."
Commander Coleman was sitting in the Center Seat of the USS Endeavor when Ariel said, "Incoming transmission from Colonel Pike, to the members in the Task Group. Putting on viewer now." Then, the image of Colonel Pike, Commander Winter, and Captain Weatherlight came up.
Winter was seated in his command chair with his right arm on the right arm rest and the left in his lap. Looking at the viewscreen the image of the Saratoga bridge almost brought back a memory but Winter was more comfortable on the Laffey.
Lee looked towards the screen:"Gentlemen, are your ships ready to head for Talos IV?"
Commander Coleman looked towards his viewscreen, which showed the three Commanding Officers, and said, "The Endeavor is ready to head out and we've also got some detailed Scans of the Talos System and Talos IV, so we should be ready to head over whenever everyone's ready. Transmitting the data now." He pressed a few commands and sent everyone in the fleet the information he had gathered.
James smiled. "Nothing better than a field trip. I recommend we operate cloaked until we arrive at the system. Given the nature of what this mission is, we don't want to give anyone a general idea of where we're going. Commander Coleman's scans are being analyzed and we'll have further recommendations when we arrive. "
Winter knew that at least one Ferengi Starship was at 400 and Ferengi were nothing if not opportunistic. Laffey was armed for bear and could easily handle a Ferengi Ship. But with Weatherlight, Coleman, Pike and himself attending the mission, Starfleet must be expecting something other than a routine diplomatic request.
Lee nodded then tapped a few buttons:"Ok gentlemen, time for us to head for Talos IV at Warp 8, Commander Coleman I want you and a security officer to beam down to Talos IV when we get there with me and my security officer. Commander Winter you will stay in orbit just in case anything happens, you will be command up there while am on the surface."
Coleman nodded and said, "We'll contact you when we reach orbit in order to figure out when to beam down. Coleman out." Then, he pressed a few commands and gave the order to head out at Warp 8 with the fleet. As he felt the ship jump to warp, he sat back and just waited until they finally got to the Talos system.
"Understood Colonel." Looking at the helm officer he spoke, "Brandy, you heard the Colonel, plot a course for Talos IV, Warp Eight."
"Course plotted and laid in." She said.
"Engage."
