The view screen flickered for an instant and then shifted to an image of the fleet Admiral. She smiled, then her face took on an expression of awe or surprise for a brief moment. She seemed to freeze for a split second, and then recovered quickly. "Is there a new problem, Captain?" She asked curiously, though her voice seemed to have an ever so slight quiver. "An increased number of Starfleet vessels seems to have passed through this region." Navarre stated evenly, as though he had not noticed her falter at first. "We're going to sneak up and take a quick peek. Then skirt slowly along the Nebulas perimeter." "So that we can duck back within for cover?" She nodded with approval. "It will be slow going for some time at that rate." "Until we clear this region." He added. "Maintain all electronic signatures to a bare minimum." "Understood, Captain." She acknowledged. "We are quite accustomed to running dark." "An excellent experience at the moment. One quarter impulse in ten minutes then." She nodded and then the screen went back to the standard ahead view of the nebula. "Is Blue aboard?" "Two minutes." Dallu responded from her station. "Tell her I want her butt in Engineering on the double. Just in case." Navarre sighed softly as he settled back in his chair.
