"Should be quicker than that Ensign. My team is almost finished, so..." And Keir 77 added. "This part is is your project; my team will be ready in 7-8 minutes; so what's next?"
Amila nodded in acknowledgement that the engineering team would be ready in short order. It would take less than two minutes if that once they were done, to get the shields modified. She double-checked the clock when Commander Sothrick spoke up.
"Captain,..." He began with his typical stoic facade. "It would seem we have two issues, the Ferengi has re-phased and drifting towards the ice giant. I am seeing 12 life signs." He paused. "The other issue is the Nausicaans have moved to intercept the Ferengi ship." He finished
"If we are ready we should move to intercept. I am sure even if we warn the Nausicaans that they should back will likely not head such warning." Sothrick suggested.
"We're going to have to be it seems," Ra'an responded from the science console. She was staring at it, bobbing her head slightly almost as if she were keeping time - because she was. When an indicator light turned on, her fingers and her brain went to work. Amila winked at Keir when she was done.
"Captain, our shields are ready for now," Amila spoke up. It was that air of confidence she was able to project even when really she was nervous as hell. "They are set at the variance that our probes are currently currently picking up, and at the moment we miraculously haven't lost any to the phasing phenomenon just yet. I think it's fair to caution everyone that if we do get into some kind of battle over this device and it's activated - depending on what the device is of course - that variance could change, and we'll need to be ready to act fast to maneuver out of the wake and compensate our shields. Under the circumstances, it could be helpful to have another person with me at science, if Lieutenant Keti can be spared from the labs."
==Tag Captain, and all==
