Location: USS Arizona

After tossing around in his bed for 45 minutes, Vince sat up and knew he had to do his job. Which to was find and give any possible area where the USS Wellington.

I'll be able to rest after I find that damn ship, Kelly thought to himself, as he put his tunic back on and boots.

He turned to see Nugent still sleeping and tried to be quite as possible. He knew that she was tired and stressed out and hadn't ever been in a situation like the present one, and she needed all the sleep she could get.

He stepped onto the bridge to Nevar, and Commander Wallace surprise.

"Hey Mister Kelly what are you doing up?" Wallace asked in a firm voice.

"Sir I will sleep a hell of a lot better if you let me do the job I need to do. So we can go back home, and end this terrible thing," Kelly said stepping towards an empty computer console.

Wallace shook his head and understood as Kelly walked of to the station. At the station Kelly worked hard and found lots of information and possible targets. He smiled as he asked the computer for possible targets. He then studied Commodore Walker's past and came to a conclusion. He then downloaded the information to a PADD, and then walked over to Commander Wallace.

"Sir I have Walker's next target," Kelly said with a grin.

"Well let's hear it," Wallace said looking frustrated.

"Well Polrika III has a training camp, with very little defences. About 232 Cardassians, 12 senior officers, and 222 green soldiers."

"Hey, that is a slim target. Their is a chance of ten percent of hitting it." Wallace stopped and got a look if understanding.

"Walker will hit there. How long helm till we get there?"

"9 hours at Warp 5.9"

Kelly then added more good news. "Sir if my calculations are right they won't get there for 17 hours."

Wallace walked back over to his seat and sat down. "Helm plot a course Warp 6.5"

Kelly felt good but wondered what would happen after we got there and what kind of plan would Commander Wallace come up with. Vince had a strange since in his stomach as if it was his first day of battle.
