Preparing to Attack (Part Two of Two)

"Captain, I'm picking up a secure sub-space signal from the Hellcat." Lieutenant Lune announced. "But we're getting a lot of interference, I can only get an audio signal."

"Put it on speaker." Aki ordered.

The speakers on the Bridge crackled for a few seconds until Fai Lune could filter out the interference.

[USS Hellcat to USS Taurus.] The voice of Lieutenant Commander Barker announced. [What is your status and ETA ?]

"Hellcat, we are still enroute to Regial Seven." The Captain responded. "Our ETA is one hour twenty three minutes. What is your position ?"

[We have followed the Jem'Hadar back to Regial seven.] Chu replied. [However, we've stumbled on some valuable information, which we think you will find useful. We've discovered a Dominion vessel adrift close to the asteroid field and we think that the Dominion spies within the rogue group may have used it to escape. They appear to have destroyed a sensor network that would have detected the arrival of any ships into the area. We've also recovered a schematic of the base, which we're transmitting to you now.]

"Well done." Aki replied. "Remain on station and await our arrival. Major Phanan will be very interested in these schematics, it should help him prepare his troops. Taurus out."

The speakers fell silent once more as the channel was closed.

"Mister Lune, contact Major Phanan and provide him with the schematics of the base." Aki ordered. "Mister Dare, what's or ETA at the Regial Seven system ?"

"One hour twenty minutes Captain." Lieutenant Dare reported. "Engineering is managing to keep the transwarp engines running."

"Good." Aki replied. "Stay on course."
