"The problem is, the design of the Detector is quite different than
that of the typical Defiant-class starship. That's causing some
difficulties in our installation of the ablative armor. It just won't
work to our specifications."
Rick listened to the lieutenant and shook his head.
"Than we just change deployment points," Rick said, then pointed
at the Detector's blueprint on the large screen. "Instead of here,
we just move it here and here. It will give us full coverage of hull."
"Aye, sir," the lieutenant said.
"Anything else?" Rick asked.
"No sir," the lieutenant said before walking away.
+tap+ "Unity to Commander Rodgers."
+tap+ "Rodgers here."
+tap+ "Commander, this is Mrs. Collinsworth."
+tap+ "Collinsworth?"
+tap+ "Yes, Rachel's teacher."
Rick began to worry right away that something had happened to
his daughter, that she was in an accident. Why else would her
teacher call him directly?
+tap+ "What wrong with Rachel?" Rick asked.
+tap+ "There was an altercation," Collinsworth explained. "She
was in a fight."
+tap+ "A fight! She hurt?"
+tap+ "No, she's OK. But I thought I'd contact you instead of
MaiKai since the reason for the fight involves you."
Rick rubbed his eyes, then his chin. He was still surprised by the
news. After all, Rachel was a good child, well liked by the other
students and he couldn't imagine her involved in a fight.
+tap+ "OK, I be there in 20 minutes," Rick finally said.
+tap+ "Thank you, commander. Unity out."
Rick shook his head and walked over to the lieutenant he had
spoken to a couple of minutes earlier.
"I head over to Unity. You charge here until I get back," Rick said.
"Aye, sir," the lieutenant replied.
