The Edge of Freedom #70"
By: Ian Hunter, Commanding Officer, [PC]
Stardate: 58204.14 2315
The USS Atlanta's Captain Haily appeared on the view screen, Hunter and her exchanged pleasentries and debriefed each other on each their status.
He leaned forward, in his command chair, Helm, lay in a course back to Qul Tuq, we'll bring up the rear. "Aye" came the command.
He got up out of his chair and went up to talk to Westfall. He patted him on the shoulder and complimented his targeting. He also ordered Westfall to locate and recall Sam and Charles. They would be needed to process the refugees. There was already a report of at least two possible infiltrations. He also expressed his concern that there could be enemy ships stalking the convoy and to be alert. As for everyone else, Hunter downgraded the ship to Yellow Alert.
Hunter walked across the brige and entered his ready room. Leaning back he closed his eyes. Not bad for a day's work. They had managed to save 4 of the 5 freighters of refugees, and resecued the crew of the Eagle. The Zion also chalked up its first kill, for an excelsor class ship and with assistance, destroyed a Galor class Cardasian. They also severely damaged the USS Horatio. Hunter seriously doubted it would ever be able to go back in service because it was damaged so serverly.
He wasn't sure what Sarik would find on the cargo ship but he was confident in his abilities to correct situations.
He took a deep breath and went back out and sat in the command chair. He watched the freighters lined up in front of the Zion, blazing through the starfield.
Hunter picked up his PADD and started to read the damage reports coming in. He was particularly anxious to read Doctor's report as well as the Major's report.
