Gregory stepped onto the bridge, reviewing his notes from the most 
recent briefing.

"Ms. Morganthall, notify all departments that we will be leaving orbit 
at 0200 hours.  Make sure all are ready for warp.  Additionally, notify 
our hosts that we will be departing and that all loading needs to be 
completed in two hours."

"Aye sir."

"Helm, please set a course in for Sigma Draconis IV.  That is our 
destination."

"Yes sir, calculating course now."

"Miss Collins, can you pull up what we have on Sigma Draconis IV.  I've 
got some searchers going on now, and would like you to augment and 
correlate the data to brief the team Mr. Falcon, I want a security 
report on Sigma Draconis IV.  We don't know what is out there, but the 
Captain thinks it may be related to the missiles."

"Mr. Musk, interface with science and engineering.  they have some 
details how to polarize the hull to prevent those magnetic bomblets from 
binding to the ship.  I want to make sure its programmed in to activate. 
Also ensure that the sensors can pick up any changes on the bomblets in 
case we have to adjust the field strength."

"Very good sir."

Gregory sat down in the command chair as the gamma shift started their work.

While that was going on, he made a final check of the notes about the 
USS Robert Bush.

"Ms. Morganthall, patch me into Fleet operations, supply division please."

"Yes sir, opening a channel.  A Commander David Poole, sir."

"Commander Poole, this is Lieutenant Dieter Gregory, Operations on the 
USS Illuminar."

"Evening there Lieutenant, what can I do for you, and what can you do 
for me?"  Commander replied.

"We have run into a bit of a supply issue, and while we've gotten some 
resupply, we're still down and could use some additional material.  My 
ensign is transmitting a complete list to you now."  Gregory nodded to 
Morganthall, who transmitted the current supply levels.

Poole looked it over, "What the heck?  Did you have to repair half your 
ship?"

"That's classified, Sir, I am sorry to say, but as you can see, we've 
got some needs and our current mission prevents us from getting back for 
a supply run."

Poole nodded, "That is a bit of a sticky wicket.  So why come to me?"

"Well, I noticed the manifest of the USS Robert Bush.  She seems to have 
everything we could need, and her course puts her within a day of our 
next location, the Sigma Draconis system."

"This is all well and good, Lieutenant, but can you cut to the chase?"

"My captain would see it as a personal favor if you could divert the 
Robert Bush to our location for resupply.  It'll take her 50 hours or so 
to get to us, and then she can be on her merry way."

Poole sat back, "Those supplies are needed elsewhere Lieutenant, that's 
why StarFleet pays for a central logistics division, to make these 
decisions."

Gregory nodded, "I understand sir, I do, but my Captain is insistent, 
and this is a priority mission."

"Like I've not heard that before,"  Poole replied.  "Tell your Captain 
to fill out the proper paperwork and it will get evaluated like all 
other requests."

"Thank you sir, " Gregory replied.  "One more think, do you know where 
Admiral Nguyen is the moment?  I wanted to send him and his family my 
Captain's regards."

Poole turned a bit pale.  "Why would I know that, Lieutenant?"

"Well, I heard that you were on very good terms with the Admiral and his 
wife," Gregory replied.

The man at the other end of the line started to look nervous. "I'm sorry 
Lieutenant, I can't help you.  However, let me see what I can do about 
rerouting the USS Robert Bush."

"Thank you Commander Poole, I appreciate your help.  My Captain will be 
quite pleased. Gregory out."
