THE BASE !
Tyvek had been really busy as of late trying to catch up on his work and still await word from the Powell. He had not heard from his father Saitek in many days and was now becoming quite concerned.
Had the cloak failed ?
Had they been discovered by what ever enemy was chasing them ?
Questions like that plagued his imagination.
Upon completion of his shift he loaded up onto his hover cycle and headed off to the cabin. At least there he could turn on the piggy back signal displacer and try and get in touch with his father.

Saitek had ordered the ship to cloak and had also ordered all non essential systems to shut down. For weeks now in order to use the food synthesizers, the engineer Mr. Boek, had powered down the transporter in order to conserve the energy needed to feed the crew three meals a day.
This also meant that all forty-three of the crew had to eat at the same time. Which meant that the one Klingon, and one Ferengi crewmen would have to set across from one another. Which also meant that Captain Saitek would have to set across from both of them and watch them eat. He felt like the father figure of a very diverse family.
His Executive Officer, Lieutenant Gonzalez, had offered to eat later in order to stay on the bridge to let her Captain eat. But really she was more than willing to eat scraps rather than watch the Klingon and Ferengi devour anything resembling beef.
While sitting in the centre seat, she immediately noticed the silhouette of a ship closing near to the New Canada planet of Serenity.
"Bridge to Saitek."
[ Report Lieutenant ?] Saitek replied.
"Captain we have company." Reported the young Spanish officer.
