Mission: [USS Ottawa] S1, E3: The True Way
Location: USS Ottawa Bridge
Timeline: 06/01/2394, 1500 Hours

Domingo was back on the bridge of the USS Ottawa, the bridge felt lonely. Ellie and Jazin, were technically on their honeymoon. But he had a job to complete. Getting Ellie to take back her command was only half of the issue. The honeymoon had yet to start officially. For the moment, the loving couple were taking a couple of days off of work.

Domingo who preferred to go by Dom, was sitting at the command chair. "Until they are back, I need you on the bridge Gabe." Said Domingo, knowing very well that he would have preferred to be down in engineering. Not acting as first officer for Domingo. The position was only temporary, and acting role.

Gabe looked at the first officer's chair for a moment. He readjusted his jacket and sat down. "Well it's comfortable at least. Not sure I could take the job for any extended period of time, but for now ya got me up here."

Domingo smiled as he looked over to the helmsman. "Eoin, is it O'Donnaghue? O'Donnaghue Meran or Meran? How do you pronounce your last name? Asked Domingo, feeling a little embarrassed to be asking that question." He said.

Eoin Smiled "Its O'Donnaghue-Meran Sir, Son of Craig O'Donnaghue and Layla Meran" He said smiling as he looked to his station "Nephew of Ethan James O'Donnaghue the once helmsman of the USS Arlington" he was now bringing up the navigation charts

"How long till we arrive in the Gymra System?" Asked Domingo. Looking to move the conversation forward, and not allowing Gave a chance to convince him to leave the bridge.

"We are 4 hours out of Gymra system sir, engines holding steady and warp is at around 7.5" He said looking to his computer "I can push her a little more so that we get there with enough time spare?" he said in a cheery irish accent.

OCC: Ben make an small number like a few hours but no more than a day we are using the QSD.

"Slipstream velocity is holding stable Captain, I mean Admiral, sir." Asked Emily. She was not sure what to call Domingo. For the wedding he took thie promotion to Commodore. And then married her new CO and XO.
"Commodore or sir will do Miss." Said Domingo, with a big grin on his face.

'Understood." Emily said, trying not to chuckle at his remark.

Domingo noticed Alyssa walking onto the bridge. "Good day Doctor, what brings you to the bridge?" Asked Domingo as he looked to Alyssa. To see what she was going to say.

Alyssa sat down next to Dom. "Well, I never been on an insignia class bridge and thought I go see it. And see what you all do here and observe the crew on the bridge. For a psychiatric research. I am still looking for title. It will come to me."

"Good enough reason in my book." Said Dom, he would have been okay with her answer, being simple boredom in sickbay. He appreciated the senior staff being close to him. He hoped that was a tradition that Colonel Ijaan would continue he thought with a big grin.

"We could use some help at the medical station." Said Domingo as he walked over with Alyssa to the medical station, and motioned for her to take over the station.

"Oh sure, want me to scan the area for lifesigns. Injured people. Oh..." She looked on the station. "It looks like we have no medical emergencies. Crew seems healthy. would you like me to do a routine check on the bridge crew, sir?"

"Sure why not," he said with a smile. He then walked over to the tactical station.

Domingo walked back over to his chair and took a seat.

A few short hours later.

"Helm bring us into orbit." Called out Domingo, as he walked over to the tactical station.

Eoin looked around "Bringing us into orbit sir" he said as he pushed a few buttons "Shold be in standard orbit in about 30 seconds" he said smiling

"Commander Drakord, any hostile contact on sensors?" Asked Domingo, as he waited for the new chief of security to respond.

"Sensors are reading clear sir." Drakord said being extra vigilant and scanning the area twice.

"Very well, lets proceed with our mission. Senior Staff report to the conference room." Ordered Domingo as the scene starts to fade.
