   After the initial briefing, things had returned to normal, at  least for 
the moment. The crew had been instructed to wrap up their shore leave.  He 
himself had decided against leaving the ship, though he had of course  
contacted his family. Rog was pleased that his sister Colleen had been assigned  
to a Sol Class ship, the ESS Defiant. This was both good news and bad, her  
career was advancing, but her ship was acting as an escort to the Meridian, 
once  they got nearer the nebula.
 
Sheppard had contacted him and informed him of their orders. It seemed the  
Meridian and Challenger would spearhead the allied fleet. One could only 
hope  for positive results from their allies. They were to go to the Coalsack 
Nebula,  specifically some backwater planet called Cheron. Hmmm, wasn't that 
a Greek god  Rog thought, oh never mind.
 
Tapping his comm button, Rog said, "Crew of the Meridian, this is the  
captain. Sorry to cut your shore leave short. Seems the Rommies are active  
again. We, along with Challenger and other ships, are to meet allied vessels in  
the Coalsack Nebula, specifically near the planet Cheron. Some of you may 
ask  why we're going to Cheron."
 
Andre piped up and said, "Sir why are we going to Cheron?"
 
 
 Rog chuckled and continued, "Very funny Andre, remind me to demote  you 
later. It seems the Rommies are massing their fleet near Cheron. So we'll  
amass our fleet on the other side of the nebula. Then, our smaller ships will  
have a look for the enemy. We'll attack through the nebula to prevent their  
spotting us till it's too late. With luck and some help from our allies, 
we'll  win.Hendriksen, keep an eye on sensors. I don't want any surprises. Now 
Andre,  take us to Coalsack Nebula Warp 5. We have a date with the devil 
and  I'd hate to keep him waiting." Rog sat back in his chair and wondered how 
 Colleen would make it through her first combat.
 
Andre replied, "Aye sir." Hendriksen replied the same.
