> "We'll have it ready for when you arrive. We also got word that we are
moving from Spacedock to Earth? How long is this going to last?"
"No idea. Forrr a while, I think. We'll need to apprrroprriate some
verrry prrrivate land to set up ourrr satellite rrrelays, though." It was
so much easier in orbit, without atmospheric issues to deal with.

ready upon your arrival."

>Getting to the USS Hopkins was not an easy task, but someone with her rank
and position was able to cut through most of the red tape. She arrived to
find that the ship was surreally peaceful. There was not the din of
activity that always seemed to fill the air at SF Command or on Spacedock.
This was a strange place. At least until she neared the part of the ship
that contained the triage center. That place was a fury of activity. Well
organized, but busy nontheless.
>
>She was directed out of the triage center to one of the treatment areas.
It was similar to an emergency room where there was a central
desk/monitoring center where each little room was monitored. The little
rooms, some of them large rooms with dividers separating individual
treatment beds, were along the rim of the treatment center. There must
have been over 20 such rooms. In room 5, a solitary room, was Koloth. He
had not been there long, and nurse was treating the flesh wounds and the
doctor was working on a head injury. They were taking over from where the
field medic and ships lone medical officer had left off. While he was
griping, he was allowing them to work. He knew the benefits of working
with the Federation, better doctors...
"Qapla!" she said, coming in to see her old friend. She was so relieved to
see that he was not badly hurt that she wanted to hug him, but that would
not be good given the treatments he was receiving. "Stop grrrumbling, you
old tarrrg. You'rrre lucky it's not yourrr ship's doctorrr. He'd be
betterrr off in a butcherrr shop than in a sickbay."
"Funny you say that, that's where we found him. He also pulls double duty in the
galley....", he responded to Kits attempt of humor. They had been friends for a long
time, and their banter showed it. Even in these trying times.
She clasped his arm. "It's good to see you mostly in one piece. It's
been... difficult... herrrre." Although her energy was still high, she
could scarcely hide her exhaustion. Her fur was matted, her eyes were
bloodshot, and her tail was constantly twitching. "How is Black?"
"Black and blue. We undertook a few small raids while were mapping some of their
territory, just to test things out. {OOC: code for releasing some tension onboard
their ship} On the last raid we took some prisioners, nothing out of the ordinary
there. However, within a few hours we were hit by a patrol and, unfortunately,
boarded. Black took a little beating, but faught well for as poorly trained as he
was.", Koloth said refering to the fact that Black was not Special Operations, but
regular fleet. "We managed to destroy the patrol, and kill off the boarders who
were trying to get to the brig. Unfortunately we were caught by a second patrol.
That's where I was taken out of commission, and Black took full command. Under some
protest, I will add. He got ut out of the mess and back to our space. However, we
have not yet mastered this propulsion system of the Felinid's and poped out right into
a battle between a trio of felinid craft and a pair of escorts. We lost most of our
systems in the fight, and Black was severely wounded. We took the offer for a tow to
get us out of the battle site, after it was won of course. Once our systems were back
up, we came right here."
