"Lambert to Bridge, alter course to heading 129, mark 227. Increase speed to maximum warp. Alert me when you pick something up on sensors."

"Aye Sir, but theres nothing there, its empty space." The bridge office replied.

Jacob, was on a very short fuse right now. "I didn't ask for an opinion. Just tell me when you do. Lambert out."

"Lambert to Colonel Wright and Commander Germond. Report to my ready room on the double, out." He knew he was told not to trust anyone, but of all the officers on the ship, those were the two who he trusted most of all.

Having been at a terminal on the back of the bridge, Aztala simply stood and headed directly to the Captain's ready room. Her joints were still a bit stiff, but at least she could do it without her cane now. Pressing the door entry button, she waited for a response.

"Come in." Jacob called to the room. He watched Aztala walk in, and gestured her to a seat. "We are just waiting for Colonel Wright."

Elena had been busy working with both the Marines and Security to keep both departments coordinating well together. When the hail from Jacob had come in she instantly confirmed and proceeded to the Ready Room. After receiving permission to come in she walked inside and greeted the Captain and the Commander.

Sitting on the couch, Aztala began to speak. "Quite the day, isn't it?"

Jacob held up his hand, cutting her off. "Computer, seal the room, Level 10." There were several clicks and hums as connections were severed and forcefields activated. He could see the look on the two officer's faces before him. He took a few moments to collect himself.

Jacob cleared his throat. "What I am about to tell you both goes no further. We can't risk this getting out. I recieved a message from Rear Admiral Adislo. Something big is happening, or about to happen. He doesn't know what it is, but he was terrified. You could see it in his eyes."

"Do we know if it is related to just the Task Force or the fleet at large?" Elena asked.

"I honestly dont know. With the way the admiral was acting, It may go higher. I really wish I could give you more information, but I just don't have it. We are meeting with someone who may know more." Jacob answered.

Aztala shook her head and looked towards the floor in thought. "So there's an unknown threat that you know about but have no idea what it is. Our only clue is a terrified look in an Admiral's eyes."

"I know exactly how it sounds Aztala. But I have known Vadosia for about 20 years. He was the CO of my first ship. And I can honestly say I have never seen the fear in his eyes like I saw on that message." He replied.

"I don't know him quite as well as you do but I have worked with the Admiral before, if he believes something is significant I do think we can trust that. What do you want us to do Captain?"Elena responded.

Jacob thought for a moment. "Lets see what this liaison has to say. Speak of this to no one, we have to keep this between us for now. Any questions?"

Aztala shook her head no. "None that would make sense."

Elena shook her head no. "No, sir. None at all"

Jacob looked to both of his officers. "I cant stress enough, this cant get out. Computer, unseal the room. Dismissed."
