Story:Star Trek: Helena/Code of Honor/Chapter 4

In the Mess Hall the trial is still going.

Admiral I must object to this line of questioning that Colonel Mackenzie is asking Commander Martin Alexander says as he looks at her.

Admiral Cornwell looks at him.

I'll allow it Admiral Cornwell says as she looks at him.

Sarah looks at Captain Taylor.

Captain, you ordered Commander Martin to command the Helena while you were visiting family on Earth and briefing Starfleet Command? Colonel Mackenzie says as she looks at him.

She looks at her.

That's correct Colonel Captain Taylor says as she looks at her.

She looks at her.

What can you tell us about the mission in question Colonel Mackenzie says as she looks at her.

In the Ready Room of the Helena.

An outbreak of Rudellian plague has struck the Cardassian colony on Pentath Three. The Cardassians are preparing several convoys of medical supplies and relief workers, but the Pentath system borders Klingon territory and the Cardassians are worried about raids Captain Taylor says as she looks at him.

Commander Martin looks at the padd.

Seeing how the Cardassian economy was wiped out by the Dominion in the final moments of the war, I don't blame them for it and Chancellor Martok has assured us that the Klingons who don't recognize the end of the war won't attack us I hope Commander Martin says as he looks at her.

She looks at him.

Now the problem is the Cardassians don't have enough warships available to protect the relief convoy. They've asked for Starfleet protection, and because of the humanitarian nature of the request, we've agreed. There will be seven convoys headed for Pentath Three in the next week, each of them protected by a Federation starship. The Defiant has been assigned to escort convoy six, and I've chosen you to be in command Captain Taylor says as she looks at him.

Meanwhile the Intrepid is at high warp.

At the back computer consoles Colonel Carter and B'Elanna is reviewing the footage as well when Captain Kira walks up the ramp to them and asked for a report.
