Nevar stood outside the Commander's Office. Pausing he took a deep breath and desperately tried to call up some long forgotten Bajorian philosophy: All that blossoms in sunshine...ah cripps what the hell is the second part? withers in...withers in....
Giving up, Nevar sounded the door chine.
"Come in". The Commander spoke over the comm.
Entering, Nevar saw Wallace sitting on the couch and beckoning him over. Taking a sip of coffee, the station Commander spoke. "Ahh good Pol, please join me." Waiving his hand to an open seat adjacent to the couch.
Sitting, Nevar put several PADDs on his lap and leaned forward. "You called for me sir?"
"Yes. Garek and I have decided to allow the colonist to depart tomorrow at o'1 hundred."
"Sir is that wise? I've seen the duty schedule, and initial work on the Arizona will be complete within a week. Why not wait?''
SB901's newly appointed commander sat back "I agree Commander, but it appears that time waits for no man."
"Neither does disaster sir." Nevar spoke in sarcastic tone.
"Agreed, but that being said, I am sending you and Commander Loran out with the Colonists. The trip will take 2 days, with other 5 supervising the intial settlement on 'New Canada'" Garek will fly point in the Lambda Flyer and will have overall command of the mission, with you commanding the decommissioned USS Bounty. As I am sure you are aware she's an Oberth class starship, too beaten for active duty but fine to use as a colonizing vessel. Put your team together, and prepare to leave tomorrow".
Nevar reached across the table and handed a PADD to his boss.
"What's this" Richard said raising an eyebrow.
"You asked me to put together some duty logs, I did so. Not only for the station but also a recommendation for the Arizona crew."
"Thank you Commander, I will review it and we can discuss it upon your return. Now who did you have in mind for the colony mission?"
"I'd like you to assign Call and Dr. Carter in case of trouble. I'm sure Loran would want Murphy to back him up. Likewise, I'll take Harper and McManus for my security team. That should be enough," the Bajoran officer spoke confidentialy.
"Take Le'Chell and that new yeoman Starfleet sent us."
"With respect sir" Nevar spoke softly "With the Son'a out there do you think its prudent to send out an inexperienced shrink and wet behind the ears cadet out at this time."
"Mr. Pol, how are they to get experience if you won't let them off the station? I think it's a good idea."
"Yes sir" Nevar replied.
"That will be all Mr..." Wallace spoke going back to his coffee and reports, but Nevar was already half way out the door.
