His mother leans forward.

FLEET CAPT. BRANSON (Monitor): ''He was leading his fleet in sector 289 along the Federation-Klingon border, when he was ambushed he ordered his fleet to fall back to defense grid delta under the command of the USS Bismarck-B. And we've lost contact with the Hood an hour later.''

He nods and ends the hail and goes to get ready for duty.
