Timeline: MD2 - 1615hrs

ON:

Mike had returned to his office after touring the station. He got a raktijno and sat down. He closed his eyes for a moment before the comm beeped.

“Admiral, there’s and incoming transmission for you from the USS Yuzhao.”

Mike didn’t recognize the voice, and with everyone busy with repairs, or injured in Sick Bay, it wasn’t a surprise. “Put it through.”

After a moment, the Federation Logo was replaced by the sight of Mike’s oldest son, K’Wor. “Hey dad. I wanted to make sure you were okay. We heard Starbase 400 was hit.”

Mike smiled, “We’re okAY. Janice was injured, but she’s recovering and will be fine. How are you?”

“I’m good. We ran into a Romulan Science Vessel crossing the border near the Desica system and eliminated it. An older Battlecruiser was coming to their aid, but fell back within Romulan space once the science ship was destroyed. We’re not sure if they were scouting, or trying to estimate DS6’s damage from long range.” K’Wor explained.

Mike nodded, “Probably a little of both. Did you take damage?"

“A little buckling in the secondary power relays, but that’s all. Damage control is already on it.” K’Wor paused, “I was promoted two days ago. Lieutenant Velik took a position aboard the USS Wells as Chief Security/Tactical Officer, and Captain Nelson made me the Assistant Chief Security/Tactical Officer.”

Mike smiled, “I’m proud of you. I know you’ll do well.”

Suddenly, in the background K’Wor and Mike heard someone over the Yuzhao’s 1MC “Red alert, all hands to battle stations.”

K’Wor typed in a few commands on his display. “Looks like the USS Richelieu is under attack, we’re responding with the USS Xantium and USS Atlantis. I have to go.”

“Be safe, Qapla’!” Mike said, then flashed a smile.

K’Wor nodded and the comm closed.

Mike took a moment to take a sip of his Klingon coffee, then tapped his commbadge. “Bremer to Tactical Operations.”

“Hannigan here.”

“The USS Yuzhao is responding to a report that the USS Richelieu is under attack, do you have anything on it?” Bremer asked.

“No sir, our access to the subspace antenna arrays is offline for repairs. We’re also working on our sensor feeds, the relays were damaged.” Hannigan replied.

“Understood. Let me know when the systems are back online.” Bremer replied.

“Aye sir.” Hannigan replied.

Mike leaned back in his chair and felt helpless. There was nothing he could do. Half Klingon or not, all Mike could do was to pray that his son would come home safely.
