Just bring it!

[Seiben 0]

With fingers flying over the helm console, Tar'Mok skillfully negotiated his way through the asteroid field, narrowly missing several large meteors drifting towards the ship. At the time, the Excalibur was under heavy cloak and evaded detection from the San Francisco. It was a little harder than Tar'Mok expected. Asteroids littered this section of space, and it required his full conentration to avoid the large asteroids. The other crew were monitoring the progress of the probe they launched hoping it would distract the San Francisco giving the Excalibur time to get away and pad their lead. Tar'Mok had no idea of the San Francisco's whereabouts. Though Tar'Mok had a feeling that the Excalibur had the lead. The ship was just about out of the asteroid field and Commander Neo had given him the order to prepare for warp speed.

 

Tar'Mok received the coordinates for the next leg of the wargame, and adjusted the controls accordingly. Once out, Tar'Mok jumped the Excalibur to Warp 9.9, but loosing cloak in the process. When the Excaliur was piloting safely, he put the controls on auto-pilot, and briefly meditated in silence. Tar'Mok wasn't used to the helm position, and those asteroid fields certainly was a harrowing experience. He then proceeded to rub his fingers which started to ache a little bit from tapping all those buttons. He wondered how helmsmen such as Commander Krax and Lt. Seiben had the dexterity to tap the buttons and not experience any aching or carpal tunnel syndrom afterwards. Placing the controls back to manual, Tar'Mok proceeded to pilt the Excalibur to its next destination. From what he can tel, this region of space is unknown and thus Tar'Mok doesn't quite know what to expect there.

 

 

Tapping into his console, Tar'Mok reads some starcharts of the region, looking for any advantagous short-cuts, or safe paths. He picks out some, and plans out several routes to use for the Excalibur's advantage. It would be another 30 minutes before the Excalibur reaches its destination, giving Tar'Mok more of a chance of relax. As the humans would say, "we're out of the frying pan, and into the fire" Tar'Mok wondered if this phrase would hold true. The asteroid field was only the first part of this wargame, and logically it would be assumed that the next leg will increase in difficulty and danger. Tar'Mok didn't know what the next leg would be, but Tar'Mok practised every forseeable sinario a helmsman had to face in duty in the holodeck, and felt confident. He was now as familiar in helm as he was in science, and was starting to get the feel of the Excalibur's handling and warp capabilities. Tar'Mok tilted his head as he looked at the viewscreen. Humans also have a saying for upcoming situations, most famously coined by 21st century wrestler The Rock. "Just bring it"
