Dana Finney opened the door and showed Ensign Simms in, Sheridan stood. "Ensign Simms thanks for coming by." Simms was very shy around senior Officers, "no problem Sir. Let me show you what we have here." He pointed his Padd at the XO's large screen and A 3D image of their position appeared.

"Of course we are here, complete side scans of the sector show very few places for anyone to hide, though it could be done by a cloaked vessel." The commander took a minute to observe the graphic, "This is amazing Simms, good work here. What would be your guess as to what happened."

Simms looked at the XO, "Pirates or the Romulans up to there old tricks Sir. We know that this is a frequently used trade route and any vessel could be snatched up here quickly and hustled off to the zone."

Sheridan sat at his desk as Finney brought them both a cup of coffee, Simms was shocked she knew his love of a certain rare type of Bavarian coffee without him mentioning it.

"Well I really can use your skills with this kind of presentation if asked by the captain."

"Thank you Sir."

"How long can't it take you to prepare data like this Simms, say if we were moving at warp speed."

"Well Sir, my computers are the navigation Departments backbone, It constantly updates it's self, but it would take seconds Sir."

"Very good, tell your staff that I will be using this tool on the bridge, projected on the main screens if I need it. Good job Simms. That will be all for now."

Ensign Simms was smiling as he left the XO's Office, he felt as if his work had significant meaning to the Ship.

Warrant Officer Finney was smiling too, "Sir, your due for a meeting with Miss Landy at the school in Ten minutes..."

"Er, yes Dana, I was hoping to put that off, I have a feeling it's of a personal nature. Have you heard anything?"

"No Sir, just that she certainly talks about you to several faculty members."

"Great." Sheridan got up from his chair and shuffle out of the office headed for the school, he could hear Finney laughing quietly as he lumbered past her.
