After Alexi got around for the day, he left his personal quarters, the only one on board due to his rank; and headed down the corridor to the mess hall for some quick breakfast. With such a small crew everyone knew everyone regardless of the rank.

"Morning, Alexi," a female voice called out from across the room.

"Good morning, Anna," Alexi returned as he crossed to the replicator, "How's Darren?"

"Not too bad," Anna answered, joining Alexi at the replicator, to return her plates after the CO had finished. "How is Alma doing?"

"She's doing great," he answered, "Lauren is being a major handful as usual," he finished elaborating before ordering his breakfast. After the whine of the replicator Alexi collected his plates and turned to the nearest table.

Anna laughed as she placed her plates into the replicator and pressed the recycle button before saying, "Well thats good to hear. Love to hear more, but need to get to engineering."

As Anna bid goodbye, Alexi could only nod as he shoved in a huge mouthful of pancakes.

After Alexi had finished his breakfast, he went climbed up to the first deck and head to his ready room. The first thing he did was head over to the replicator, "Tea, hot, extra sweet." Grabbing the cup after the cup, he then turned and walked out of his ready room.

"Captain on the bridge," a young, freshly minted Ensign called out.

"Ensign Carmichael," Alexi called out, crossing the bridge in several quick and long strides to stand behind the young man. "What have you been told about that?"

Taking a breath, the Ensign stared down into his console, "Not to call that out, sir."

"Ehm," Alexi simply responded, before turning and heading to the central seat, "Report."

From the ops console, a Trill Lieutenant got up to stand beside the Commander, "Nothing major to report, sir. The Romluan vessel that has been shadowing us is still there. And the area is still filled with nothing. The sensor report," she said, handing over a PADD. "We have also received new orders."

That caught Alexi's attention, looking up at his Lieutenant, "New orders? Regarding?"

Arinda produced another PADD, "Escort duty. The task force at Citadel is experiencing... Problems. They need an escort."

As he read the PADD, Alexi called out, "Helm, set a course for Citadel, warp six. Engage when ready."

"Aye, aye, Commander," Carmichael said, typing in the necessary string of commands, "ETA six hours and fourteen minutes."

"Understood," Alexi responded, "Arinda, do we get all of the pertinent information regarding the Citadel sector?"

"Yes," she answered, producing a final PADD.

"Very good. Dismissed," Alexi ordered.

Arinda nodded before moving off, followed by the helmsman, being the last of the midwatch to leave the bridge.
