Commander Hayes.

Yes, Captain.

We have permission from Starfleet Command to increase speed to warp Factor 8.

Fantastic.

Set a course for these coordinates immediately.

It's going to take us as far to the edge of the alpha quadrant as anyone has been closer to the beta quadrant.

I want you to get this done immediately.

All right. And you want us to stop at the border of the quadrant?

Well, as close as we could get. Well, it should be full sensor sweeps. Give me a report every hour on the hour.

Everyone on the bridge? We are going to a new part of space that has not been charted yet. Now, we haven't done a lot of these types of missions. And I just want you to know that I know that you're up to the task. I believe in each and every one of you, all right? Lackey, do you think something's wrong? I mean, I've never seen him like this. I'm kind of actually inspired, but yeah, I think something's wrong. Yeah, I mean, he's just never this positive about a mission ever. No, he's never this stern as a cat. He's doing some real captaining right now. Yeah, he just usually seems so, like, lackadaisical about when we go somewhere. Yeah. But he seems like really like committed and like captainy.

Commander, you have the bridge. I'm going to be down in my quarters reviewing the

parameters of our mission. Aye, sir. Captain, before you go, I just wanted to let you and

everyone on the bridge know that I have up to our security detail since we're going into a part

of space that we are unsure what we will

encounter.

Good.

And I just wanted to let everybody know that we are taken care of. And there's plenty of protection. Everyone's armed and have been briefed. Tell me you just saw that. Tell me you just saw Lady Cola doing actual security stuff. Yeah, she actually mentions security. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Commander Cola. please coordinate with Fritz and make sure that the phasers and the photon torpedo banks have been checked recently and that everything is in working condition.

It's already on my to-do list.

I'm heading down there right now.

All right.

Commander, you have the bridge.

Cigpaida bridge?
