=Qul Tuq= Dockin bay=

The Runabout arrived at the docking padd. Jennifer was glad to be home, or at least, almost. She hoped there was some progress with the ship

She stepped out of the ship and handed it over to the docking personal. Captain Hailey to Lt Swenson Swenson here Captain. Glad to see you are back. Swenson was sure she could hear the loud background noise

Me too, where are you? She heard he was shouting a little,

Zen and I are at Quarks. We got into a hot poker game. he replied looking at his best hand of the night. 4 aces.

Poker? I will see what you are doing down there! SHe was curious. She never saw them that much into the poker game, but she wanted to know what was going on there. After a while she entered the holosuite. She saw her two officers and three others.

"Hello Captain. This is Captain Hunter of the Zion and you already know Miranda from Starbase 31."

"Captain Hunter, a pleasure to meet you." She nodded at him as she shook his hand.

"The pleasure is all mine, although, we all wish you had ordered Mister Swenson to your ready room rayher than letting him play four aces on us."

"Of course, well I know my crewmen all to well, he would rather have finished playing his aces then run for the ready room."

She glanced at the Vulcan sitting at the table, she never met him too.

"Thank you Captain." said TJ has be piled up his chips "Oh sorry, this is Sarik. He is the CSO on the Zion." said TJ

"Nice to meet you, mr. Sarik."

"It is indeed, ma'am." He looked at TJ. "May I comment that your crewman can be negligent to follow orders if he plays another hand like that."

TJ smirked but said nothing. "Well If he does that, I am obligated to take half his winning shares for each time he wins while disobeying my orders." She smiled at TJ. "This means that if you loose, I would cut the loss on your rations." Looking at Hunter:"Rest assured, he would rather win one hand and quit Then handing over his rations to pay the loss of a couple of games." Hunter looked over at Sarik and made the open comment, "Don't get any ideas, you are on your own."

"I beg your pardon Mr?" Sarik frowned an eyebrow and looked at his captain "Shall we then, Mr Swenson." Jennifer heared Zent laughing. "Make sure you don't loose too, Lt Zent, it counts for you as well."

Oh yes ma'am" said Zent with a wry smile.

"You are keeping them strangely disciplined, ma'am." Sarik commented. "Well it helps doesnąt it? Sometimes it's the result that counts." They went away from the poker table towards the ready room.

"I hope you had a nice trip Ma'am?" said Zent.

"Yes I am well rested and also been cured of something terrible. It was luckily removable, but it took some effort."She didnąt tell them what was really going on at Trill. She told them the truth though.

Zent nodded, "hopefully that is all behind you now then." Zent didn't Want to pry.

=Ready room= Zent and TJ sat down and waited for the captain to get situated.

"could you give me a brief description of the current repair status? Zent straightened up in his seat, "Yes ma'am, We've reloaded the ship computer systems. Everything was backed up and the system was purged. Should be no trace anything left over from any..." Zent didn't want to say the Romulan's name, "...tampering. We've also replaced the sensor grids. Many were in need of overhaul, a number of them burned out on our last mission. That's about it." concluded Zent.

Sounds like a restful week here. So the repairs are all set and done. Any other occurrences i need to be aware of?

Zent looked over at TJ with a 'here it goes' look. He turned back to the Captain and cleared his throat. "Have you been made aware of the court martial situation facing Lt Willow?" he asked.

"I am sorry?" Jennifer was astonished. "A court martial for Lt Willow? How did that happened?"

Something about a spy and someone from intel got killed." said Zent

Never mind, i will read the reports. Where is she?"

The XO had her assigned to maintenance detail." Said Zent.

Good she is already punished for it a little. I take it that i have to defend her, being her superior officer?" She looked at her padd. "And then the Commodore will be the judge. Did he appoint a prosecutor?"

I'm uncertain Ma'am, I've not been privy to any of that information."

I see." She was far from pleased by the whole situation. "Looks like When the cat is gone the mice dance at the table, don't tell me you pulled a Stunt like Misty somewhere too, please."

TJ and Zent solemnly shook their heads, "No ma'am" they replied almost In unison.

Thank you gentlemen." She looked at her padd and then to them. Anything else?"

Dismissed." She leaned back in the chair of the comfortable ready rooms she saw the two officers exit the room. She grabbed a padd where all recent reports were summarized. It included a message from the Admiral, he has replaced Lt Sanchez. He will be leaving in a couple of days. Back to the Scorpion, they will return to their own universe. On the bright side Sanchez would just be there to help the newest addition to security. A specialist. It was a welcome crewman, she hoped he would prevent more saboteurs and spies, as well as keeping a close eye on our cardassian. Next to that his training would come in handy. First she would have to deal with the court martial of LT Willow. She contacted the Commodore to get on the details. He was short about it, he just wanted a just trial with two commanding officers in court. There would be no more investigation, the evidence was all there, Commander O'Simpson had already done some work in advance so no more evidence would be admitted, it was just to decide which punishment she would receive. Jennifer feared for the loss of misty's just gained promotion. The commodore responded shortly stating that she is already being punished know which counts in her advantage.

She had just 3 days to prepare the court meeting. In those three days She would have to get the ship working again and a court, she just hoped There wasnt more.
