Mission: The Lost Brother
Location: Transporter room

Colonel and the security team assembled in the transporter room waiting for Wagnor's signal.

Aleck was pacing to keep her from punching something. She hated waiting although as her husband chief of staff she had learnt some patience over the years. Yet now that it was her own son's life on the line all that experience seemed to go out the window.

A short stout Tellarite leaned against a bulkhead, he checked his rifle. He turned to Jones, "It's you and me doing the sharpshooting. The lanky fellow went with the other mission. Did you know he named his rifle?"

"He says its customary." Talk replied as she walked in. She brought up her own rifle. "Meet Jack."

Their colonel was completely ignoring their banter trying to get into the zone for the difficult mission ahead.

It didnt take long for Xavier to reach the transporter room from the shuttle bay. He noticed Tal explaining the name Jack for her weapon. "You all set Colonel?"

"Yes I am captain. Again I apreciate all the help you have given us in getting our boys back." She smiled at him. "I will try to bring all your crew back in one piece."

"Commander Melor Pallara has informed me that it was dire for the federation to do this. I hope it was."

"Yes. They can't get their hands on Wain or Richard. and I pray to god Melor's grandfather is alright. He is one of the few sane voices for peace in the empire at the moment."

"The federation and the klingon empire has done this for centuries, with the dominion around the bend... i am fairly confident that we will be allies soon enough."

"I hope so." Aleck said. "There has been enough bloodshed."

"Have faith." Xavier turned "Is jack ready..." He asked Tal jokingly.

"As ready as he will ever be."

Xavier looked at the time. "Just a few minutes to allow the commander to get into position, and you can depart."

Sorrel nodded. "Thank you captain."

"I will get out of your hair." Xavier replied as he walked out

"Wagnor to Stoffels," Soran said into the COMM. "We are in position."

"Alright commander, copy." Aleck said.
