Captain Frederick Mayo stepped out onto the bridge after making his rounds throughout the ship. It was something he always did after any battle. It was a quick tour, mostly engineering and sickbay, but sometimes any other parts of the ship that may have taken a beating. He always felt that it helped crew morale to see their captain in person instead of just hearing his voice on the ship-wide comm.
"How are repairs going with the Rapier?" Mayo asked.
"They are preceeding as well as expected," Mayo's Tellarite first officer grunted.
"Too slow for your taste, Mr. Gar?" Mayo smiled as he took the seat that his XO had previously occupied.
"Not fast enough," Gar admitted, being an impatient man.
"What about the Erassian repair ship?" Mayo asked.
"Still at least three hours out," Gar answered.
Mayo nodded, "What's the status of the rest of our group?"
"They are still trying to scan the surface of Canna III," J'klock said from the tac station. "Wait, sir."
There was a long pause as the chief tactical officer looked over her console.
"The Chimera and the other ships are under attack," the tac officer continued. "I'm detecting three Breen warships."
"We should go to their aid," the XO said.
"Negative," Mayo replied. "Our orders are to remain here and protect the Rapier. Besides, those ships can handle three Breen warships."
"Aye, sir," the Tellarite muttered, not pleased with their current role. Mayo couldn't blame him. He wanted to help the others, but that would leave the Rapier practically defenseless, which he was not willing to do.
"Sir! More ships entering the system," J'klock said.
"Oh, friggin ... more warships?" Mayo asked.
"No, sir," the tac officer answered. "Transports. Romulan troop transports, D'retex-class to be percise. I'm counting at least four ... no make that five. They are heading to Canna III."
"Send word to the Chimera and warn them," Mayo ordered.
"Aye, sir," replied the communications officer.
As the warning was being sent, J'klock shouted from her station, "Sir! Two Romulan D'deridex-class warbirds have just decloaked off our starboard side!"
The Magellan was hit by disruptor fire shortly after the announcement.
