<USS Avalon> Arrival At The Badlands And Designation Of Duties

Keith left his office, he hadn't seen Patience  today, which was not unusual, 
they both were busy, and he had asked her to do  Psych Evals on the crew.  
Walking the corridor and up the ramp to the  bridge, he entered and relieved 
the 
officer in the center chair.

Taking a  seat, Phillipa turned around, "We should be at the Badlands in two  
hours."

"Very good, right on schedule."

The talk that they had had  no bearing on their duties, he was glad of that.

He wondered who for the  initial scans to locate the wormhole, he wanted on 
the bridge, and as the fact  that they might engage the Maquis, he wanted to be 
sure the command staff was  separate, just in case.

Leaning over he opened a comm, "Would the  following people please report to 
the bridge for your duty shift within the next  two hours; Senior Lieutenant 
Alder Shimbrodus, Junior Lieutenant Ffej Harak,  Ensign Mary O'Donnell, and 
Cadet John Forester.  The remainder of the  command staff, please move to your 
designated auxiliary locations at that  time.  Ketchum out."

He closed that comm and opened a specific one  to Science, "Science, this is 
Ketchum, I need you to start scanning the badlands  for any wormholes or 
temporal anomalies.  Ketchum out."

"Phillipa,  slow us to impulse and prepare to take us in.  Keep an eye out 
for Maquis  vessels."

"Aye, Captain."

Slowly the Badlands appeared on screen,  their energy making interesting 
ribbons.
