Bridge - Deck 1

Cole was feeling really bad regarding the loss of their friend, Jacques. When the Captain entered the Bridge, the Lieutenant wiped his eyes as to not appear weak in front of his CO. Doing as Capt Daqtorgh ordered, Cole opened a fleet wide channel to all the ships in Gamma Fleet and to SB34 as well.

Lt. Mitchell: Channel open, Sir!

The Chief Operations Officer's heart was still broken over the loss of Dr. Tudismaque. But Cole dared not let it show, since he heard all about how Klingons viewed the human mourning process. The Lieutenant knew the Bridge was no place for an emotional outburst of grief, so he just bit his lower lip and cried internally for his friend of many years.

Kyle did as Capt Daqtorgh ordered and secured Whitestar from Red Alert as well as dropping the Shields and disengaging power to the Weapons. Lt. Wolf also powered up the Tractor Beam and got it ready to lock onto the Galactic Princess so it could be towed back to SB34. Once it was all done, the Lieutenant informed the Captain his orders had been followed.

Lt. Wolf: Secured from Red Alert, power to the Shields and Weapons have been disengaged, Captain! Tractor Beam powered up and ready, standing by to lock it on to the Galactic Princess, Sir!

The Chief Sec/Tac Officer felt really bad for the loss of Dr. Tudismaque and how horrific it must've been for the Doctor's life to end at the claws and teeth of a Xenomorph. The situation must have gotten really bad over there aboard the Cruise Ship for this to have occurred. Apparently the incendiary weapons were not enough to stop those creatures completely, and the Doctor's life was the price they paid for their ignorance.

Doing as Capt Daqtorgh ordered, Lt. Thomas started putting together what he was going to announce to the fleet and SB34 regarding the death of Dr. Tudismaque. Once Dylan was finished, he stood up and went to the center of the Bridge and began speaking to everyone in the fleet and those listening on SB34.

Lt. Thomas: Attention vessels of Gamma Fleet and those aboard Starbase 34. I, Lieutenant Dylan S. Thomas, have been given the remorseful duty to report to all of you that a short time ago Lieutenant Jacques Z. Tudismaque, Chief Medical Officer of the USS Whitestar, succumbed to the injuries sustained with a violent encounter with a hostile Xenomorph and passed away. The loss of Dr. Tudismaque will be felt for a long time and my heart goes out to all who will feel the emptiness in their lives that his death has brought into it. I am very sorry to bring this news to you at an already difficult time dealing with what is happening on New Bajor. Captain Daqtorgh felt it was best to let everyone know immediately. Whitestar out.

With the announcement complete, the Chief Flight Control Officer returned to his seat at the Flight Control Station. Dylan hoped he did was he was ordered to do properly and respectfully with the news of Dr. Tudismaque’s passing. The Lieutenant wasn’t sure if it was fleet wide knowledge regarding the situation on the Galactic Princess, so Lt. Thomas omitted it from the announcement. Dylan was sure Cmdr Ashborn was going to feel really horrible when he realized the Doctor died on his watch. The XO was certainly going to need the assistance of Counselor Ho when the time came.

Daqtorgh was impressed with the announcement Lt. Thomas gave on the fleet wide channel, it showed the Captain that his Chief Flight Control Officer was truly an honorable man.

Capt Daqtorgh Thank you Mr. Thomas, for an honorable announcement about the Doctor. Jacques died an honorable death, just like the honorable man he was. We have our orders; we are to tow by use of our Tractor Beam the Galactic Princess back to Starbase 34. Mr. Wolf, I’m going to need you to engage the Tractor Beam on my mark. Mr. Thomas, I’m going to need your steady guidance to guide the Cruise Ship back to Starbase 34 and place it fifty thousand kilometers from the Starbase. Mr. Mitchell, we need our sensors functioning to scan as we go because to somebody out there, we would look like an easy target moving at a slower speed. Make it so, Gentlemen!

The CO remained in the center seat and waited for his orders to be carried out. Daqtorgh knew his crew was very efficient and would get their assignments done as soon as possible. There was no doubt in the Captain’s mind about the honor of his crew, despite what he heard from Klingons that worked for his House back on Qo’noS.

The Lieutenant looked towards the Captain and nodded in appreciation as he returned his attention to his console so he could follow the orders of Capt Daqtorgh. Dylan maneuvered Whitestar so that it was now in front of the bow of the Galactic Princess, also at a safe distance away. The Akira Class vessel was now in range to engage the Tractor Beam upon the Cruise Ship.

Lt. Thomas: Thank you, Captain. The ship is now in position to engage the Tractor Beam, Sir.

Once the Tractor Beam was engaged and the Captain gave the word, Dylan would bring Whitestar to Warp Speed so the process of towing the Galactic Princess to SB34 could begin. It was a wise decision of Capt Daqtorgh to have Lt. Mitchell constantly checking all the sensors for any ships approaching, just in case they turned out to be some kind of raiders looking to pillage the Luxury Starliner.

Kyle looked over his console to make sure the Tractor Beam was at the Ready and acknowledge the Captain's order to engage the beam on his orders.

Lt. Wolf: Aye, Sir! Tractor Beam, standing by!

The Chief Sec/Tac Officer heard Lt. Thomas and knew the order was coming soon for him to lock the Tractor Beam onto the Galactic Princess, since they were now positioned at the bow of the Luxury Cruise Ship.

Doing as Capt Daqtorgh ordered, Cole brought all the ship's sensor palettes online to make sure they would know way in advance if anything hostile was coming their way. Once the Lieutenant had the sensors calibrated to search for any vessels approaching their location without the use of a Federation transponder completed, the Captain was notified.

Lt. Mitchell: Sensors online, Captain! If anyone approaches us while we're towing the Galactic Princess, we'll know about it!

The Chief Operations Officer made sure Lt. Wolf had more than adequate power to the Tractor Beam so they could bring the Cruise Ship to Warp Speed with them, with the use of the beam. The Galactic Princess was much larger than Whitestar, but with the amount of power being supplied to the Tractor Beam, towing the Starliner shouldn't be an issue at all.

Daqtorgh was pleased with the responses of his Bridge Crew as he thanked both Lt. Thomas and Lt. Mitchell, before giving the expected order to Lt. Wolf at the Sec/Tac Station.

Capt Daqtorgh: Thank you Mr. Thomas and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Wolf, engage the Tractor Beam at full power! Mr. Thomas lay in a course for Starbase 34, best possible speed! Keep it steady and let me know our ETA as soon was you can. Mr. Mitchell, I want full scans every fifteen minutes, also monitor the Com Channels for any chatter.

The CO sat back in the Center Seat and awaited his orders to be carried out to the letter. Daqtorgh knew the crew would do exactly that, and this pleased the Klingon Captain. With the size of the Galactic Princess being what it was, the Commanding Officer knew that a high velocity of Warp was out of the question. So Capt Daqtorgh left it at the discretion of Lt. Thomas to get Whitestar moving as fast as possible to their home in the Gamma Quadrant.

Seeing as Capt Daqtorgh gave the order for the Lieutenant to engage the Tractor Beam, Kyle did precisely that! Using the Sec/Tac Console, Lt. Wolf focused the beam on the bow of the Galactic Princess and engaged it. With all the power available to the Tractor Beam, Whitestar would have no issues with towing it to SB34.

Lt. Wolf: Tractor Beam engaged at full power, Captain!

The Chief Sec/Tac Officer monitored the power being used for the Tractor Beam and as he predicted, there were no problems with the allocation of power being supplied by Lt. Mitchell. Now they just needed to get moving to their destination at SB34, where they would park the Starliner in an elliptical orbit around the base.

Dylan plotted the course for SB34 and with factoring in the heavy load they would be towing behind them; the Lt. Thomas saw that Warp 3 would be the best possible speed he could bring Whitestar to that would provide safety for the Galactic Princess. Plus if there were any passengers and crew hiding aboard the Cruise Ship, this may let them know they’re on their way to someplace safe. The Lieutenant engaged the Warp Drive and away the Akira Class vessel went with the Galactic Princess in its Tractor Beam, their destination…SB34!

Lt. Thomas: Course laid in for Starbase 34, our ETA is currently seventeen hours at Warp Three, Sir!

The Chief Flight Control Officer looked over towards Lt. Mitchell to see him beginning the scanning process of the entire area between their current location and Whitestar’s base of operations in the Gamma Quadrant. With the structure damage inside the Galactic Princess, from what Dylan heard over the Com Channel with the Away Team, if they were towed any faster it would cause a series of vibrations that could spell out certain disaster for those still hiding in the Starliner. It was this Lieutenant’s professional opinion that they truly were, moving at the best possible speed to their home base.
