Jolann settled into the command chair, trying not to let his discomfort show. He had been left in command before, of course, but he hated it when it happened, and having only been on Artemis for days he was even less sure than usual. However, he listened to the crew, and was pleased with their initiative. Not that he could let that show, either, and he kept his habitual frown on his face.
He was uncomfortable with the captain's display as she left, as well. She hadn't exactly left any doubt as to her feelings, only with what those feelings would mean for the ship. And he hated not knowing things like that. For a moment, he considered trying to get an explanation from her when she returned, but discarded that idea as well. He'd find out in time, of course. It was just a question of whether it would be before the crew did. He vowed to be prepared either way.
The helmswoman was talking with the science station, and he left them to that. When the chief engineer turned, however, he felt compelled to answer. "According to standing orders," he replied in tones implying the Bajoran should have been aware of this, "the shuttlebay has crews and shuttles on standby during any alert situation." He hit a control on the arm of the command chair. "Bridge to shuttlebay. Launch two shuttles. Their orders are to use their tractors to keep the Klingon freighter in position relative to Artemis until further notice." The shuttlebay acknowledged, and within five minutes the shuttles were in place and locking on.

Unpowered, the qoH was simply drifting. Artemis, having been deftly piloted to match course and speed, was hanging alongside relatively motionless, though the pair of them were heading further into the nebula than either wanted.
A result of their drift, however, was that a gap was opening between the Artemis' sensor range and that of the probes. They were still within comm range, which let the Artemis see the probe's sensor feeds, but there was unreadable space between the edge of their zone and what Artemis was able to see. Moving Artemis back wouldn't be difficult, but would require coordination with the shuttles now holding the qoH.

The tractor beam was shot. The energy feedback had blown out several circuits within the device, and it was going to take at least several hours for a damage team to fix.
