Mission: Do Not Follow
Location: Ready Room, USS VIctory

Elijah stood leant against the desk in his Ready Room. He was tired having been running on little sleep to get repairs in order. His Sleeves were rolled up and his Jacket was undone.

He was on Subspace speaking to Rear Admiral Goddard at Starfleet.

Goddard nodded. "How many did you loose Captain?"

"We are still getting figures from Sickbay and Triage but....." He paused as he picked up the PADD off his desk. "So far we have 25 dead, 85 injured, 15 missing."

The Admiral shook his head. "How are the other Crew holding up?"

Elijah shook his head. "They're doing okay given the circumstances, my XO needs treatment that'll sideline her for a lengthy period, I'm promoting Lieuteant Commander Cuprum to her role as we speak, with Cor Cordale taking his job as Second Officer."

The Captain looked towards his long time friend. "These Jennarri were serious about their threat towards the Federation, they destroyed Seattle with all hands to prove a point Admiral." He shook his head. "I'm sending SFI the documents hey sent us, plus a full report to Command and I also advise we warn Shipping to avoid this area."

"Noted." Goddard said looking at Elijah. "I'll contact you once you return to Federation Space. Goddard out."

The Screen went blank leaving Elijah to stare at the mess in his Ready Room. His books all over the floor, his decorations and memorabilia in tatters.

His Ship was battered but they were alive.....Just
