Nitus stepped onto the bridge from her ready room with Alessa following close behind her. They made their way over to the command center. The turbolift doors at the rear of the bridge opened and Zahir followed by Kevil stepped onto the bridge. “Commander,” Zahir said to her as she walked over to the command area.

“Ms. Davidson, have you restored impulse?” Nitus asked her to most senior engineering officers as she stepped into the center of the command area looking at them both.

“Yes, ma'am. We have,” Zahir said, sharing a smile with Kevil. “We've been able to restore warp capability although long-range communications haven't been repaired. We need more time for that,” Kevil said to her as he finished. “Although I would caution you overdoing it, Commander. I would recommend warp seven at the maximum. We don't know if there are any lasting effects from the EMP,” Zahir told her with a worried expression.

“Excellent work, Zahir and you as well Lieutenant,” Nitus said as she sat down, “Would one of you mind staying on the bridge?” Nitus asked them as she picked up the PADD that T'Soni was handing her.

“Yes, Commander,” they both said as they walked back to the turbolift they had entered from. “You're staying, Kevil. I can handle main engineering on my own,” Zahir said to him as see took the PADD he had been holding from him. SHe was proud of hm for coming up with such an innovative solution to their problem. Kevil simply nodded at her as he walked over to the engineering console and relieved the ensign who had been seated there.

“Arva drop a distress buoy and put us on yellow alert. Enzo continue on course for the Deblin colony warp facter seven,” Nitus said to them as she dispatched her orders. It was a huge risk going to the location where a highly suspected attack is underway, but it is one she is willing to take to. Her only hope is that her crew is up for the mission they maybe undertaken.
