Helmsman Gimley turned and announced "We've arrived at the first waypoint Captain." Hunter nodded "Westfall, is the escape pod ready to be jettisoned?¡ Aye Aye Captain, ´ he said. "Mister Westfall. Lock onto the life pod and beam it out into space" said Wright
´Acknowledged, Commander. The pod has been beamed intact 2500 m to the Starboard side and is clear of the ship, No damage sustained, Sir. Do you want to me send it on a course away from our current heading?¡ ´Good idea Westfall, send it on a course of 098 mark 3.¡ ´I've used the tractor beam to give it a shove-off in that direction Sir.¡ "Is the hoaming beakon operation?" asked Wright. ´Affirmative, Commander.¡ "very good Ensign" said Wright. Hunter nodded his approval and turned towards the conn. "Gimley, make your heading 090 mark 3 warp 3...engage.¡ Hunter sat back. ´Report Westfall?¡
´Long range sensors show no manufactured energy signatures, Sir. Signal is strong from the pod. ´ he said. ´Thank you Mister Westfall,¡ said Hunter.
Lt Lindsey, we'll at your waypoint in approximately 30 minutes prepare for departure
Hunter looked at Wright and then said, ´Steady as she goes helm.¡ A moment later, Hunter's console beeped as Lindsey signaled her acknowledgement.
"Ensign Forrester turned to the captain "Sir, Engineering reports that the cloaking device is operating at 5% above expected power usage"
Hunter leaned forward ´Ensign,¡ he said ´will the excess power use cause any problems for the duration of this mission?¡
"Negative sir, we will have sufficient power levels to all systems." said Ensign Forrester
Hunter stood up, ´Number One, you have the bridge, I'll be in my quarters.¡
