Mission: A New Beginning

On:

Marius let out a held breath as the last of the damaged vessels had been emptied, and the away teams beginning their trip back to the Starbase. He knew that other teams would eventually return and attempt to salvage what they could from the vessels; they couldn't be too wasteful in these uncertain times.

"Sickbay prepare for wounded," he ordered through his comm badge, and a few seconds later Doctor Stokes reply came stating that she was ready and waiting. "I want updates on their condition as soon as you have them," he said.

"Understood Captain," the doctor said before signing off.

Standing from his chair on the Command Deck, Marius stretched and rolled his neck in an attempt to release some held tension. There had been one thing after another lately and he hadn't had proper time to rest.

"Captain," an officer to his left called his name. Turning, he raised an eyebrow.

"What is it Ensign Calmot?"

"Lt. Junior Grade Galaway has returned to the Science lab," the officer stated. To anyone casually listening this would seem to be a simple status report, but the Captain knew that there was significance to that statement that even the Ensign could not fathom.

"Indeed? Thank you, Ensign. Commander McMahon, you have the conn," he said and exited the large room, heading for his Ready Room. "Ensign Thrace, please report to my Ready Room at your earliest convenience," he said into his comm badge. Hopefully there would be good news on that front... he had to brief the Admirals later that evening and he wanted something good to tell them.
