Rick watched as another Lancer was piloted out of the drydock. He rubbed
his eyes and sighed.
"Well, that make a dozen," Rick said.
"Yes, sir. And we barely have enough materals to finish the Lancer that is
under construction," Lieutenant Proietti said, nodding to the unfinished
fighter still in dock. "Still no word from starfleet?"
"No," Rick said. "They keep saying 'we're working on it'. I tempted to make
trip there myself to hurry things along. Or at least try. Sitting here not doing
any good."
"Well, that last Lancer will be finished tomorrow. We also have the Honor
scheduled for some hull repairs later on today."
Rick nodded, "Honor took on some significant damage. We could be working
on her for a couple of weeks."
"At least," Proietti added.
"I going have another chat with Commander Mackey," Rick said before
heading off.
Several minutes later ...
"I have good news, Commander Rodgers. Six cargo vessels departed a day
ago for Starbase UNITY under the direct order of Admiral Janeway," Mackey
said on the small computer screen.
"Really?" Rick said, sitting in what had become his office.
Mackey nodded, "It seems that she was very insistant that that shipment
get to you ASAP. From what I hear, Admiral Jefferson himself is heading up
the convoy."
"Really?"
"You seem surprised," Mackey seemed a little upset.
"I am," Rick said.
"I guess you people out there have friends in high places," Mackey said.
"I not know about that. Anyhow, thank you commander."
Mackey nodded before his image disappeared.
