"Raise the Quasar Quest.", T'Zohl looked at Bethany. Montgomery had been doing the on the hour check every since the warning.
"Russia, its Beth. Please respond.", Bethany repeated her request.
T'Zohl looked at her helmsperson, "Montgomery, is everything okay?"
"The Andorian is not responding.", Bethany looked at her new Vulcan commanding officer.
"Keep trying.", T'Zohl was getting worried now. She thought about Branson laying on the floor and the discovery by young Brenna. John and her had ben friends, even lovers. They had been together since the First Governor's Station. She had flown the Quest virtually her whole career. She had sided with John when John left for the mirror universe.
Dr. Coren came up to the bridge, "Zoey, maybe we can get close enough to the Quest to scan for Vice Admiral Warren."
T'Zohl turned around, "Don't call me that. Only John can call me that."
"Sorry, Ma'am.", Maple looked at the Captain.
T'Zohl looked at Bethany, "Get us in close."
"Aye, Captain.", Bethany really wanted to impress T'Zohl. The Captain is widely respected as the best pilot EVER. She taught at the Academy in Paris. She flew the Quest and she has been a flight instructor with the fighter squadrons for more than 10 years.
Autumn looked at T'Zohl, "Captain, we may have a problem."
T'Zohl looked at Autumn, "What is it?"
The new Double V Executve Officer looked at the Vulcan and then back at the tactical station, "Look at these transponder readings."
T'Zohl looked down, "USS Vancouver - Flagship of the Columbia Fleet."
"Damn it. We may be too late.", T'Zohl snapped.
T'Zohl looked at her staff. She has had command of the Quest. She has had other commands. This is the moment of truth. She had to make a decision. In these instances, she always turned to John. He was the decisive one. She was just the pilot. T'Zoh just stood there.
Maple looked at her boss, "If we get close enough, we can determine if Vice Admiral Warren's vitals are still active."
T'Zohl took a deep breath, "Bethany, do that."
Maple took a deep breath of her own and stepped up to the Science Station, "Vice Admiral Viceroy and his staff are in the Quest Brig. They have not be compromised."
"Contact Admiral Coren and announce the situation.", T'Zohl was suddenly more decisvie.
"Contact General Brown and inform him of situation and to prepare a response.", Autumn looked at T'Zohl.
"This is a special forces operation. Major Tanus is a politician now.", T'Zohl frowned.
"Perhaps Bull could help.", Autumn looked at T'Zohl, knowing their history.
T'Zohl took a deep breath. She was in command. She had to be the one to decide but putting one of her own at risk was not something she was too keen about.
Autumn looked at T'Zohl, "Come on, Vulcan. I left a good gig to serve with you."
"Contact General Brown, we are going to take back the Quest.", T'Zohl snapped.
T'Zohl looked at Bethany, "Prepare to engage the Vancouver."
"The what?", Bethany responded.
"Until its honor is restored, the USS Quasar Quest is no more. All I want to see is an enemy vessel. The USS Vancouver, Flagship of the Columbia Fleet."
