Jemma was about half way through her soup, and enjoying the chatter around the table when everything started to go belly up. Admiral Malloway’s voice came across the COMM system with, “RED ALERT, ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTASTIONS – THIS IS NOT A DRILL, REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!”

The wave of fear and confusion, as well as her own made her freeze for a moment. This was one of the reasons, large groups of people were never a good idea. Normally she could deal with it, but the sheer number in the room along with the suddenness of it, stunned her momentarily. Snapping out of it, she turned to Ethan.

“You know what this means don’t you?” She asked rhetorically. “We might not be having that second debriefing for a while?” She joked with a wink as she stood before turning serious again. “We’d better get back to the Braveheart and get this in motion.” She said matter of factly, waiting for him to take the lead with a gesture of her hand, and following.

As they made their way out of the room with all the others making their way as well, Jemma couldn’t help but glance at the Command staff as they too exited the room and made their way to their stations. ‘What will they find?’ she wondered to herself as they finally filled their way through the door, and made their way to the Braveheart Bridge.

“I’m reading 11 ships out there, 6 Keldon, 4 Galor and 1 Hideki Patrol. It’s the Cardassians?” She half stated half questioned. “What are they doing here?” She thought allowed as the crew busied around them, calling out reports here and there as they engaged themselves into formation with the other ships.
