Running Silent

Captain's Log

Our encounter with Omega has put our timetable for rendezvousing with the Saucer section at Bopak III back about twelve hours. However, we are now back on track and I hope to reach Bopak III within the next thirty hours.

Long-range sensors have picked up a large amount of Dominion activity along the border with Federation space, which worries me. Although the Saucer section is capable of defending itself, the majority of the Leviathan's fire-power lies with the Engineering section.

On the orders of Commodore West, I have been forced to release Lieutenant Moss from his 'house arrest'. Whilst I am not entirely convinced that he was acting under the orders of the Commodore, I must obviously follow the orders of a superior officer.

Lieutenant Moss has since been spending a lot of time working in the holo-research lab. A few hours ago, he made a request to access the hologrid systems throughout the ship, but so far he has not given any explanation.

Our encounter with Omega has had one casualty, Commander Rashad. During her time on the mining base, she has been exposed to a virus that started to attack and re-arrange her DNA. The EMH was able to create a 'blocking' agent, which has temporarily stopped the virus from doing anymore damage, but he has stated that it will only be effective for a few weeks. After that, the virus will take hold once more. At the moment her only hope is that Doctor Kahfre, who has some experience in DNA manipulation can find a more permanent solution. Ideally, the full resources of Starfleet Medical would also be of great help, but who knows when we will get back to Earth.

With all the activity on the Dominion border, I dare not risk sending a message to the Doctor on the Saucer section for fear of it been intercepted and the location of the Saucer section compromised.

I just hope that Lieutenant Commander J'Ross has been successful in her task of securing the planet and it's resources and can hold out long enough for us to arrive.

End Log

Captain Taybar switched off the console on the desk of the briefing room table and stood up. Looking out of the window, she watched the 'wall' of the quantum slipstream shimmer and sway as her ship passed through. It was so amazing that they were travelling at such great speed, but even so, she wished that they could go even faster.

Turning away from the window, she headed out of the door and towards the Battle Bridge. Stepping inside, she relieved Commander Rashad of command and took her seat. Using the console in front of her, she checked the status of the ships system, then the activity of the Dominion on long-range sensors.

"Helm. What's out ETA ?" She enquired.

"That his speed, Twenty eight hours seven minutes. " The young Helm officer announced.

*I just wish we still had Talon squadron onboard.* She thought.

Talon squadron had been the fighter wing assigned to the USS Leviathan-A upon her taking up the Captaincy of the vessel. With the threat from the ISS Leviathan from the mirror universe, Starfleet had assigned the Valkyrie fighters to the vessel. When the Leviathan-B was commissioned, there was no room to house a fighter squadron, so Talon squadron was re-assigned elsewhere.
