Prologue/Admiral Janeway's order

Story So far: The year is 2387, and the Dominion War is over and the Federation and her allies are dealing with the Der'kal. For months the Federation and her allies are taking severe beatings at the hands of the Der'kal and losing a lot of ships in recent engagements....

(Space, Earth orbit)

A Sovereign class vessel is berthed in a drydock with worker bees swarming it finishing the upgrades on the ship's tactical and defence systems.

(Captain's ready room)

Typhuss what's wrong Janeway says on the screen.

We lost a lot of ships in recent engagements with the Der'kal, war is hell, Admiral Janeway why are you contacting me says Typhuss as he looks at Admiral Janeway on the screen.

Well due to the recent wounded and dead you received in your last engagement, I'm assigning these officers to you, Noah Lessing, Marla Gilmore, Brian Sofin, James Morrow, and Angel Tassoni to your crew Janeway says on the monitor.

The five surviving officers from the Equinox, you know how I feel about them and the 14 officers from Voyager who serve on my ship will not be happy about this and I'm not happy about this says Typhuss as he looks at Admiral Janeway on the screen.

Typhuss I know but they're willing to improve and they came along way since their days on the Equinox Admiral Janeway says on monitor.

Typhuss then leans back in his chair and looks at the monitor.
