Standing next to Jo Weathersby, Rick looked over the holographic
image of the ship yard that was currently abandoned in the Tarangor
System.
"Looks like a relic," Jo said.
"Maybe old, but still can do job," Rick responded. "Many of systems
basically same use ... same we use today."
"Seems like a waste of time. We'd be better off using it for target
practice. I mean, it's over fifty years old. I don't think my mother
was even born yet when they built this thing."
Rick shook his head, "Still useful. Especially with war. Even a couple
more squadrons of fighters or 'nother Defiant could be big help. With
a little work, more maybe possible."
"If you say so," she said. "I'm just glad to be going out on a mission
that doesn't involve us being thrown directly into a fight or bring fired
upon. For once, I'm caught up on repairs and I'd like to keep it that
way for as long as possible."
"Romulans could still attack us. Not that far from Rommie space."
She turned to look at Rick, "You sure know how to put a nice, positive
spin on things, don'tcha."
"I just realistic. Know how things happen."
"Well, I'm going to live in my little fantasy world ... at least for a
couple more days," she walked back to her main workstation. "So, how
did your wife take it with you going out on this trip?"
"Not well," Rick answered. "But she understand. I worried that she
too worried about me."
"She IS your wife," Jo stated.
Rick nodded, "Still, I can't worry all time about blackouts if I to ... if I'm
to get back to normal duties."
He turned off the holographic image.
"We arrive soon. I need to be on bridge," he said.
"See ya later," she replied as Rick exited the engineering section.
