<DIV> Rog sat in his chair, looking out the viewscreen. In
front of him was Theta Ara III and on the other side of it, their target. They
had just arrived a few minutes before. Rog tapped his chair comm button and
addressed the crew. He said,"Ladies,gentlemen, we have arrived at Theta Ara III.
Armory and MACO personnel, should prepare to debark at the earliest possible
time. You will be following Lt. Sanderson's plan regarding the pods. I will give
the word when you are to launch."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> He turned to his left and said,"Katrina, I want you to scan the
planet and the waystation. Check for life signs as well as any possible signs
the Romulans have ships in the area. If there aren't ships in the area now, I
want to know when they show up." Then, looking at Zoe he said,"Sanderson, I want
you to check to see if there are any Romulan communications either being sent to
or from that station. If that waystations personnel send a distress call, I want
to know pronto."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Turning to his right he said,"Ian, like I told your people, I
want you to be ready to go when I give the word. Be extra vigilant when you get
over to that place. I don't like the fact that we're not one hundred percent
sure of their numbers and that they wouldn't have some sort of task force of
their own guarding the place."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tapping the comm button once again he said,"Timo, I want us to be
able to get up to maneuvering speed at a moments notice. They may only send
scout craft against us or they may be sending a BOP. In either case, I want us
to be able to maneuver quickly and efficiently." Rog said,"Dougsdale, be
prepared to execute evasive maneuvers at a moments notice." He sat back in his
chair and prepared himself mentally, as best he could, for the battle to
come.</DIV>
