Gath heard the order to go to Yellow Alert. He brought it up and it was Broadcast across all decks. The flashing Yellow indicators were hard to miss. The warning sound got the attention of everyone, then fell silent after three blast, as was common. It called everyone to General Quarters as a result and people would begin reporting in their information, as per protocols.
As the Captain had ordered, he charged up the defensive systems. If they went to Red Alert, Tactical would bring up the offensive systems and targeting. The exception here was that Gath was initializing the torpedo launchers to bring them to a hot and ready state. This made the crews that manned them ensure that the system was staged to continue to load torpedoes as required.
Gath dutifully reported, "Sir, Yellow Alert established, all decks. Defensive systems online. Launchers are prepped and standing by for use by Tactical. In addition, Security is all accounted for and my people are at their stations."
For just a moment, his eyes met Evie's. His face relaxed for just a minute, a hint of a grin there as he took a breath and let it out. There was so much more he wanted to say right then, but this was not the time or place. They couldn't seriously be planning to lock horns with those Cardassian ships. The smaller ones, sure. They could hold their own against most of them, but a Dreadnought? He didn't even want to think about it. It wasn't worth trying to speak the statistics out loud, because it was that bad.
