DANTE Expeditionary Force Official E-mail BEGIN TRANSMISSION Stardate : 100518.1930 Scene : D-Warp Shuttle Enroute StarBase ALIGHIERI. LtCmdr.Gollan Toc readjusted himself once again while the D-warp shuttle's engines charged up. It would be several hours before he would be at SB:ALIGHIERI. His route would take him through various check points and around nav buoy's the closer he would get to the Federations newest bed of coals. Gollan had heard that a new conflict was building but he was unsure as to how bad things had become. Rumors had a nasty way of always making things seem worse than they really where. That thought had reminded him of his school days, when the other students had spread rumors that a particular instructor at pre-med was a hard nosed teacher who rarely gave satisfactory marks for hard work. When it turned out that the teacher was just like the rest. Relentless yet informative and knowledgeable with their field of expertise. The Shuttle's engines had reached their peak of warm up and now powered up for the warp speed. With in seconds they were racing through space at warp five. Gollan settled himself down and slept. His bags secured in the adjoining seat, he used his in-flight pillow to rest his large tired fram against the interior hull. Scene:Docking bay SB:ALIGHIERI. Time: Six hours later. "Sir..Sir excuse me sir, but the rest of the passengers have already disembarked." stated the pilot "Gollan lifted his head with fog in his eyes. He looked up at the pilot then looked around as he stretched. "It would appear that I was more fatigued than I thought." Said Gollan as he stood up and towered over the pilot who realized that his mouth was open. A look of suprise at see such a rather large Klingon. The poor Starfleet officer had to stoop over just to stand on his feet. Removing his bags from the seat next to him, Gollan nodded his head in thanks and departed from the shuttles interior. "Man sakes alive, that has got to be the biggest Klingon this side of the galaxy."stated the pilot to his co-pilot as they both starred after Gollan. Carrying his bags through the bustling activity of the SB, Gollan made his way to the office the COMDANTEXF. There were large groups of officers going in and out of his office. His secretaries desk was littered with data pads and star charts. The empty chair Gollan noticed was also supporting at least three or four charts of its own. Placing his bags nearby the desk, He figured the only way to make himself known would be to walk in. Just before he entered the office, he nearly slammed into the broadside of a Marine officer. "I do apologize sir. It appears that there isn't much room for a Klingon mysize in such a crowded office." stated Gollan. Looking up, The CO of NC-17 didn't know if he should be the one to apologize or if he should just look for the engineers to enlarge the doorways. "Uhh thats Ok, uhh Cmdr....." "LtCmdr.Gollan Toc, Flight surgeon." "I'm the CO of NC-17 Cmdr. I'll inform the COMDANTEXF, Your here. Don't move or your liable to break something or some one." he said still amazed at the man's size. ************************************************************************************************ NRPG: Mike, I'm here all set and ready to go.
