Lieutenant Sheridan Entered the bridge, the soft Hiss of the door announced his presence on the bridge He observed the Crewmen diligently working at their stations. He walked over to lieutenant Brooks for a update on the ships status...
"Evening lieutenant, how are things going?"
"Good evening Lieutenant Sheridan. Things are going well. I am settling in nicely. How about you sir?" Chris asked.
"Very well, How's she handling for you?"
"She's a little sluggish, but better than I had expected. She's no fighter or shuttle craft, but I think we understand one another.
"I've been told the faster we go the sharper she will respond, at least that's what the engineers boasted."
"I am sure that I will find out soon enough." Chris laughed.
A warning alarm came from Chris's console, spinning back to face the console, Chris began to tap commands. "I am picking up a faint federation distress signal, Lieutenant."
Sheridan sat in his chair, "How far out is it?"
Chris tapped a few more buttons on his console "Approximately 1/2 light year, bearing 015."
Sheridan nodded, Good job Chris see if we can get a stronger signal, Helm make your course 015. John tapped his Com badge...
~Captain Montgomery, please contact the bridge~
"Aye sir, altering course to 015." Chris responded.
John stood behind the helm officer, "We're still a ways out, Let me know if we continue to get the signal, and if there's any other Fed ships in the area."
"Report" said Montgomery, emerging from the ready room. "I'm sure I ordered a smooth run back to the fleet" he added flashing a smile.
"Picking up a Federation distress call, approximately 1/2 light year. We have changed course to intercept. Holding at warp 6, Captain." Chris reported.
"We're not in much shape to mount a rescue mission, Sheridan are there no other ships that can take this one?"
"I'll check Sir, but I think we're the only game in town."
Several minutes Later after talking to fleet Nav Sheridan had confirmed the news.
"Sir, News from Fleet. The Orion would be the only Ship in the area able to render assistance to the call."
Chris tapped in computations on his console, "Captain, at warp 9 we could intercept source in 5 hours."
"Very good Lieutenant, maintain your current course and speed." John looked at Captain Montgomery, Sir I suggest we go to yellow alert, we don't know the current situation and perhaps we should be ready for anything."
"Agreed" replied Montgomery. He was uneasy about taking Orion into an unknown situation in her current state but there looked like no other choice.
Sheridan glanced at communications, "Sound yellow alert please"
"Aye, Aye Sir."
