When Beinn's voice came through, Peter tapped his badge.
"Jensen here. If Engineering says go, then go", he said. He wouldn't pretend to understand the technical intricacies of what was being suggested, but had faith that if Hydish had signed off on it, it couldn't be that bad of an idea. And they needed the extra power.
He had barely had enough time to get those words past his lips before the door opened and Braggins entered. Peter got out of the central chair.
"Captain on the Bridge", he called, but didn't wait for further formalities before he headed to his own seat.
"No", he answered her question. "The risk of the Cardassians picking up on our transmissions is slight, but not zero. So until we were discovered", he gestured to the data indicating the approach of the Os'runa, "I thought it better to maintain radio silence. And since our discovery, I thought it best to focus every available bit of power on the cargo bay project, and our defensive systems in case we need it. I had ordered a message prepared to send to the Fleet in case the Cardassians engage us", he elaborated as he took his seat and logged into his console, "which I'd intended to use to get the Cardassians to leave us alone. Basically "Engage us, and you'll set the galaxy ablaze. Just let us pick up our people and leave" was the plan", he said with a slight sigh, mentally bracing for what her reaction would be. He honestly didn't know, and that worried him somewhat. He'd served with her for quite some time now, and still didn't truly feel like he understood her. Certainly not the way Spock had understood Kirk, or Riker Picard.
