Snip=/\=Understood. We are headed back to the Atlantis. We are bringing a guest with us from the Base. Please see that we have the diplomatic suites ready. We also have the coordinates of the location where the jacket was found. Inform the crew that after we get the proper clearance for departure we will be on our way there. Bordeaux out.=/\=

=^= Acknowledged, Captain =^= Jen said, closing the channel. A guest. Diplomatic suites? How many did the guest need? What happened to the fine they were working on haggling for? He shrugged inwardly, but his antennae betrayed his thoughts. Fortunately few could tell what an Andorian’s antennae meant in communications.
To those on the bridge, he said, “Secure stations. Prepare to depart when our guest is on board and the Station relays its clearance. Navigation, plot a course out of system, then, when we get coordinates for our destination lay in that course.”
“Communications, relay a departure notice to the crew. Inform department heads to expect a briefing shortly after launch. Oh, and see that two diplomatic suites are prepared. Perhaps our guest sleep walks. We’ll determine security risk and protocols after we find out who it is.”
Jen, XO
Kelly and company arrived on the bridge as Jen finished giving out the orders. Taking her seat, she pulled up a PaDD reviewing what had happened on the ship since her departure. You have been a busy boy, she commented to herself but was not too surprised. The XO knew his job and there was no need to immediately jump in and take over. Jen had given the commands she would have. All they could do now was wait and see what this little exploration mission was going to show.

The Bryast system was 12 days away at warp 8. A speed the Atlantis could now sustain after the repairs from the pirates and their base. There weren’t too many inhabitable systems along their course and since the Darkness was quite active in the direction they were heading there wasn’t too much in the way of ship present either. The races looped around the Bryast system adding weeks on to their trips to avoid the dangers the Darkness presented.

“We are prepared for departure, Captain,” he began, then paused. “It seems too .. coincidental .. that the Darkness would be active in this area of space where we are going.” Jen did have a puzzled expression. “Captain, if this system is a pathway for us to be able to return home in some fashion, why are we taking along a passenger. If this will get us home we have only to run the gauntlet once with the Darkness. Otherwise making a return trip to drop off our passenger we would have to do it three times.”

“Or we keep our guest as a victory prize....” Trainor chimed in. Tenzing was only half hoping he’d come across as joking., but he wasn’t too fond of fighting the Darkness once, let alone two times. Lt Cmdr Trainor merely looked between the pair, trying to see which direction they’d go in.
