Mission: Mission 52: The Astral Winds
Location: Starbase 12
Timeline: December 7th 2391

Alyssa McKinley left the Enerprise's Conference room, Captain Worf having just finished the mission briefing. This would be the last mission of the Enterprise E. Though Alyssa wasnt particularly fussed, since the new Excalibur Class Enterprise-F, which much of the E's crew had already transferred to, was starting her fitting out stage.

Alyssa took her station at the engineering next to Massae Parks, a Catitan female whom spent time on the Dreamcrusher. Nearby was another Roanoke veteran, Norsvin Korr, a Caitian male whom had taken assignment as the Chief of the Boat.

Commander Aurelian Saunders was seated in the Captain's chair and she looked bored. "You've not missed anything." she commented to the crew just exiting the observation lounge as she rose to her feet with the grace of a woman a third of her age.

Michael Ward smiled. "Mmmm... Figures we don't miss anything, save that Klingon Battleship nearby." he commented. "I'm gonna miss this ship."

Tial Lamrk who massed in at two hundred pounds simply smiled. "He'll be honored. She is and always will be a fine entry into the hall of Enterprises."

Saunders nodded her head. "Yes she will be."

Chappel who was the ships Chief Medical officer for this last assignment smiled at the woman who was more then twice his age. "So... you gonna stuck around Commander or are you moving on?"

Saunders paused. "No. I think Starfleet wants me for my own command.... It doesn't look like I'm gonna get an option really... Besides.. the skipper encouraged me to think of the people who could benifit from my company."

"I did indeed." Worf commented with a soft and gentle smile as he was the last to exit the Conference lounge. "You would be an asset to Starfleet wherever you went."

"So... you think I should accept it and let someone else sit at your right side."

"What I think... Aurelian does not matter in the end.... It is for you to decide... and you should do so... quickly." Worf commented, his gentle baritone reflecting his experience. "I consider myself most fortunate, I am the last of my generation to serve aboard the Enterprise, getting here for any reason is not easy.... Especially senior staff... as you all know." Worf then sat down in the command chair as he spoke. "Has anything happened recently of note?" he inquired

Saunders looked around the bridge as she wanted people to answer for themselves as she sat down in her own chair, seated next to Worf.

Alyssa shrugged," I've got nothing to really add, other than this ship is a lot quieter than Roanoke."

"Amen to that one," Korr replied.

Worf chuckled softly, his baritone voice was soft and gentle. "Yes... I have heard of that ship and her reputation.." he rumbled.

Saunders smiled softly. "Helm, time to intercept with the Heart of Khaless?" the Executive officer inquired, her soft dulcet tones gently sounding.

Alyssa did a quick calculation," It will take us about 20 days at warp 9.2. "

Saunders nodded, a gentle smile gracing her lips as she looked at Worf. "Helm. proceed and engage at warp nine point two... We are in no rush.." he smiled as he got comfortable in his chair.
