Mission: Awakening
Location: Bridge, USS Victory

Elijah strolled around the Stations of the Bridge. As Captain he had found that he missed being on Away Missions, especially ones that peeked his interest but he knew that regulations required him to be here.

"Have all preparations been made for allowing the AI to come aboard?" He asked looking down to Ops.

"Aye Sir, Engineering reports they have a bay ready to receive the Thinking Engine." Ensign Baxter commented from the Ops Console.

With a nod Elijah strolled back down to his Chair. "Am I an idiot AJ?" He asked with a glance to the Marine Captain who was occupying the XO seat in the absence of Bertrand. "Allowing a possible sentient life form we know nothing about onto my ship?"

"Idiot, is a strong word." AJ replied not agreeing or refuting his inquire. "I say it is more a calculated risk." the arm of his chair beeped as one of his men had signaled the teams readiness. "There is great risk in this endevour. But, I can assure you Captain if it blinks to many times my men are standing with EMP rifles to end it."

With a smile at the Marine the Captain then focuses his attention to Helm. "How's our course holding up Scotty?"

"Holding course, Captain, keeping steady as she goes" Kayne replied.

Elijah nodded in response.

"If I may Captain, Alien technology is not my area of expertise, but my people have had some experience with Artificial Intelligence. I would recommend that we isolate any sensitive information as well as data on this ships construction behind a fractal incryption fire wall" Sara suggested, remembering the stories she was told at her academy.

"I wouldn't worry Doctor, Commander Cordale knows what he is doing." The Captain said hoping that his words weren't to proven wrong.

"Captain Commander Cordale signals they are ready to transport back with some Dalacari Technicians and the Thinking Engine." Baxter commented.

"They are clear to beam over when ready." Elijah commented. He then noticed the signal that Commander Cuprums team were ready to come aboard. "Clear space in the Shuttlebay for our way team and our guests vessel."

He got up and proceeded towards the lift. "AJ you're with me, Mister Kayne you have the Bridge."

AJ got up from his chair on command and followed behind the Captain. He was really starting to be very protective of Elijah. He was getting to the point where he enjoyed the fact that he expected AJ to work outside of his comfort zone.

Quickly standing up, Sara moved to join Elijah at the turbolift, "I would like to join you as well captain. As I said I may not be an engineer, but having another point of view of this AI may be beneficial"

"Well then let's all go see what the fuss is all about." The Captain said as the three of them entered the lift and watched the doors close.
