The senior staff, sat around the table, and waited for the meeting to began. Captain Wallace, and Garek had been back from earth for only a day, and where already getting into a new swing of things. Wallace seemed happier now, without the gloom of the Son'a hanging over head. Garek was happy cause of a new toy.
Wallace then walked in and took a seat, at the head of the table."Ok, we have new orders. We are to explore the region in front of us. Set up early warning system for any Borg activity, settle new colonists, and defend the new colonists." Wallace passed the orders around to have everyone read them.
"Garek, when will the Arizona be ready?" Wallace asked picking up a PADD.
"Chief and I and few others should have the weapons, and sensor masking systems ready with a two days."
Wallace made a few notes. "Mister Razek, anything to report?"
The Ensign leaned forward, and read from his PADD. "A trade ship from the Gorailic Republic, will be here later today, around 1630 hours."
"What are they trading?" Wallace asked.
"Fresh food, and some Deuterium."Razek replied.
"Major?" Wallace asked.
"Myf boys are fine." Tarik said, passing a PADD over to Wallace.
Richard took the PADD, and planned to read it later. "Ok, I have something planned, a cruise of sorts. We'll take the Arizona in three days, and chart the area past the Ba'ku planet. We will also stop there and check and see if the are any Son'a on the planet. Garek I want you and Lieutenant Deveraux to work on an Early warning system to put in place by the nebula. That is all for now. Until tomorrow then." Wallace picked up his PADDs, and waited for the room to clear, before he left.
Stepping back onto the Command deck Wallace saw Commander Carter, waiting in his office. Wallace walked in, and saw that Carter was about to stand. "As you were." Wallace replied.
"Sir, what is the status of Banshee Squadron?" Carter was wondering since the Son'a were no longer a threat, if they were going to be reassigned.Wallace placed his PADDs on the desk, and took a seat.
"Commander your girls will be here for awhile until needed elsewhere. Now in three days we're going to go and explore around the station. We can carry one fighter. I'd also like you at the helm, of the Arizona."
It was quiet then Carter responded. "Ok. The whole squadron should come along though. We're not just fighter jocks after all."
"Fine."
"Good."
"Now, leave my office." Wallace said in a serious but joking tone.
Upon reading Tarik's report, about the battle of destroying the Jem'Hadar breeding factory, and his latest fitness reports, Wallace sat back, and felt rather bored, at this reading reports. He tapped his Comm. badge. "Garek, how long will it take to install the weapons systems on the Arizona?"
[Oh, about 6 hours.]
"And the Sensor Masking system?"
[About 14 hours]
"Ok, get the Arizona, ready to leave by 2130 hours."
[Sir?]
"Come on, we can fix all the other stuff while in flight." Wallace sounded very impatient.
Garek said [Ok]
"Major Tarik come in."
[Tarik here, yes Captain?]
"Major, have 16 Marines and yourself ready to leave by 2130 hours."
[Yes, sir leaving earlier then planned, I take it.]
"Yes we are."
Wallace leaned back, and took a felt excited, and gave a big grin, and then heard, a thump at his view port, Wallace turned to see a plastic yellow clown floating by his view port.
"Wallace to Razek."
[Yes Captain...]
