<DIV> Baxter looked over and said, "Captain, Challenger is about to
begin their out curve to avoid the Rommies sensors."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Andre said, "Sir, we're getting the course plot."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Rog nodded and said, "Good, now we're getting somewhere. Baxter
acknowledge the course change and send my compliments to Capt. Spearling. Andre,
with the new course plotted, what's our ETA to the Coalsack Nebula?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Andre did the plotting and said, "Five hours sir."</DIV>

<DIV> Rog turned to Danielle and said, "Commander, make sure Armory is
ready with those special weapons we received." He didn't like the special
weapons. They could be as dangerous to his crew as they were to the enemy.
Still, Starfleet issued them and the Meridian would use them. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tapping his comm button, Rog said, "Yue, what are our engines condition?
Are we ready for combat?" Tapping it again, "Bones, are we ready for
casualties?" He waited for their replies. This would be the biggest battle since
Jupiter's Ghost, hopefully it'd be the last battle.</DIV>
