Editing Once More Into The Breach (section)

==Duty Waits for No One==

Near the end of the play, Salid and Durand were interrupted by an ensign from the Starbase staff, who advised them that there was a priority message from [[Rank|Admiral]] Richardson, from [[Starfleet Command]]. They were escorted to a small office, where the Admiral advised the two ship captains of a serious potential danger to the [[Federation]].

The [[Darson Deep Space Array]], a powerful observation tool used to monitor remote portions of the [[Federation]] - [[Romulan]] border in the [[Beta Quadrant]] had detected a [[Borg Tactical Cube]] and another unidentified [[Borg]] [[starship|vessel]] dubbed a [[Borg Pyramid]] en route to the [[Dovek II|Dovek System]].

As Borg Tactical cubes were only seen prior grouped with other vessels of the same type this immediately caught [[Starfleet]]'s attention. The additional presence of a previously unseen Borg starship, also convinced command that they should be investigating. Admiral Richardson, assigned the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]] to that mission.

The fact that the Dovek system was known to once belong to the [[Tkon Empire]], a species that went extinct 60,000 years ago, added a level of concern as well. The [[Tkon]] were widely believed to be as technologically advanced, if not more so, than the [[UFP]]. The presence of the Borg in a now dead system, that once belonged to a dead civilization known for their technological achievements, raised considerable concern among the Admiralty.

For this mission, Captain [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]] was given overall command authority, with Captain Durand acting as the Task Force [[First Officer|Executive Officer]]. Both Captains returned to their ships quickly, ordered all civilian personnel and pets off the ship, and gave orders to get underway towards the Dovek system.

The briefing to the senior staff was conducted jointly using the new communications equipment brought by the Tranquility.  It allowed a complete real-time holographic interface between the two crews.

In addition, the [[SS Tranquility]] was stowed in the Rosenante's aft shuttlebay and [[Rank| Lieutenant]] [[Chance Raschen]] ordered to service aboard the Rosenante once again.
