[b]The Bridge:[/b]
[quote=Captain Vaella]"Captain Vaella to the bridge, I'm moving from Sickbay to Main Engineering, with the CHENG down I need to review what we got from the Dominion boat. If the Venture doesn't show up in ten minutes, drop the warning buoys and take off to Vulcan, warp 6."[/quote]
"Acknowledged." Lt. Alton answered into her com badge. Even as the order came in one of the guys from engineering stepped off the turbo lift. The young man stopped hesitantly on the bridge.

"Good. Dex, show him the breach."

"Yes ma'am." Dex chimed as he stood up from his post at Environmental controls. The two disappeared into the back.

"ETA to the arrival of the [i]Venutre[/i]?" Linda asked as she turned her attention from the retreating duo.

"Two minutes." Op Management piped up. 

"Good. Hail them." Linda told Cadet Smith.

The young man got the [i]Venture[/i] on within a few seconds. It was a quick matter to brief their captain on what had happened and to inform them that the scene was now theirs. Technically Lt. Alton should have ran it through Captain Vaella, but Linda took her previous orders as an okay to drop everything in the [i]Venture[/i]'s lap.

When the communication ended Linda instructed Ensign Avery to taken them to Vulcan, warp six. At that speed Vulcan was nearly an hour away.

[b]Engineering:[/b] 
Lt. Junior Grade Cutler was back in engineering after he heard of Xyrx Dra’ul being taken to sick bay. His loud, stern voice was heard all over the site directing people to get repairs underway. When he heard the turbo lift open he turned and snapped out. "About time! Those Couplars..." Cutler trailed off.

"Jesus! Captain. I'm sorry. I was expecting someone else." Cutler apologized, embarrassed. 

The data from the Dominion Jem'Hadar fighter was extensive. And the crew hadn't even started working on it, having been distracted by the state of their own ship. It would take around an hour to decode and make repairs of any fragmented data. The actual data on their mission was sparse. The most that was determined was that their destination was somewhere in the Taugus Sector, possibly even as far over to the Romulan Empire. But if the latter was their destination, why go through Federation space and all that trouble? 

[b]Vulcan:[/b]
When the [i]Orion[/i] finally arrived at Vulcan, there was a small contingent standing by. It was comprised of the two Ambassadors, the two Admirals, and a few other Vulcan Federation Officers. The greeting committee was just outside the Federation Building in a small discrete court yard rock garden. At least by Vulcan standards. It was encircled by pillars or red stone that accented the brown walls of the building.

Admiral Johnsan fully expected the Captain to be apart of the [i]Orion[/i]'s crew that beamed down to the planet. According to the reports she had received, it would take at least seven hours to fix all the damage done to the Orion. Which meant the ship was now officially behind schedule. Something that didn't sit well with her. The Federation was putting a lot of pressure on this mission. Almost as much pressure as the Dominion was putting on Vulcan.

When the crew members of the [i]USS Orion[/i] finished materializing the woman didn't hesitate to jump right to it.

"Report."
