(OOC: This phase of the mission will operate in a 24-style format, where each week of writing will function as one hour of time in-game.)

(( Bridge, USS Artemis-A ))

The engineering team on the Artemis managed substantive repairs to both the comm array and the warp drive, at least enough to get them functional and underway at a faster clip than they had been. When this mess was over, she owed Hallia and her staff a stiff drink. For now, the repairs allowed them to make their way toward Earth at a far higher rate of speed, and for her to communicate with Captains Rahman and Mei’konda. The situation was far more dire than any of them realized, as it appeared that there was an alliance between the Borg and Changelings, whose goal appeared to be a direct assault on Starfleet.

At least they weren’t going at it alone, anymore.

As the Luna-class Artemis approached the rendezvous coordinates, Addison emerged from the ready room, her auburn hair pulled back in a ponytail, bouncing along her shoulders as she made her way toward the center chair and had a seat. She exchanged quick glances between Dakora on her right and Hopper on her left, and took the opportunity to survey the others on the bridge – Silveira, Jovenan, and Chevalier were at their stations. Kel and Savel were likely down in the Security Suite, Hallia overseeing Engineering, and Genkos in Sickbay. They and the other members of their staffs had been working overtime during the commute to prepare for the battle that lie ahead.

The image on the viewscreen contained a Galaxy-class vessel closing on their position.

MacKenzie: Can you confirm it’s the Kitty Hawk?

Jovenan: Response

MacKenzie: Mr. Silveira, what’s their status?

Silveira: Response

She nodded slightly.

MacKenzie: No doubt they’re at yellow alert, with all the pandemonium going on… Open a channel.

After a moment, one of her oldest friends in Starfleet appeared on the viewscreen. She was relieved to see he was unarmed, and not a Changeling.

Ukinix: =/\= Well, well, if it isn’t Doctor Captain MacKenzie. ::Smile:: How are ya’? =/\=

MacKenzie: =/\= Just running around the galaxy causing chaos as usual, my friend. It’s good to see you. =/\=

Hopper: =/\= Response =/\=

Ukinix: =/\= Geez, I thought our day was bad. Robin, I’m glad you and the team are okay. ::Polite nod to Talos:: G’day Commander Dakora, great to meet you finally. =/\=

Dakora: =/\= Response =/\=

MacKenzie: =/\= We have a few personnel aboard that belong to you, and a few others that Captain Rahman has requested temporarily. We’re a bit shy in the HCO department – have anyone you can spare? =/\=

Ukinix: =/\= Aye Captain, we’ll send over Lieutenant Nathan Richards, he’s a good operator. But um... I propose we verify all our transfers. You know about the Thelomium-847? =/\=

Addison nodded with determination.

MacKenzie: =/\= Without question. I’ll have the officers report to the transporter room. =/\=

Dakora/Hopper: =/\= Response =/\=

Ukinix: =/\= Alrighty, we’ll pull up alongside, drop shields, and start the beaming. Then we’re off to Sol I guess. =/\=

MacKenzie: =/\= Be careful out there. =/\=

When the viewscreen returned to the view of the Kitty Hawk, she issued the order.

MacKenzie: Bring us alongside. When we’re in range, lower the shields and prepare for transport. =/\= MacKenzie to Amity crew members – your ride is here. Head to Transporter Room 2 immediately and prepare for transport. Ensign Gnai and Lieutenant Sadar, please join them. =/\=

(OOC: Going to the Kitty Hawk will be Gila Sadar (Artemis), Gnai (Artemis), Moore (Amity), Sam Richards (Amity), and Vanlith (Amity). Joining us will be Nathan Richards (Amity) and Robin Hopper (Amity) will remain.)

After several moments, the turbolift doors behind them revealed a new crewmember. Addison already knew who it would be. She’d met Amity’s Chief of Operations nearly a year before when she’d spent time on the outpost participating in joint war games with the Hirogen.

Richards: ::Clearing his throat:: Captain. ::Winking at Robin:: Commanders. Lieutenant Nathan Richards reporting for duty.

MacKenzie: Welcome aboard, Lieutenant. Glad to have you.

Hopper/Dakora: Response

Richards: Glad to be aboard. ::Smiling:: You have a beautiful ship, Captain.

MacKenzie: A little beat up at the moment, but no worse for wear.

Hopper/Dakora: Response

Richards: What’s the situation in this neck of the woods? Where do you need me?

MacKenzie: We’ve got to rendezvous with the fleet and try to get the word out about the Borg. Have a seat at the helm. I have a feeling we’re going to need some fancy flying, and you can monitor operations from there. ::pointing:: Ensign Chevalier can give you any information you might need about our current ops status.

Hopper/Dakora/Chevalier: Response

With all personnel officially transferred, it was time to get underway.

MacKenzie: Mr. Richards, take us into the Sol system.

Richards: Response

Tag, and TBC!
