Alexander walks onto the bridge, his coat open and sipping on a cup of tea. He walks over to the tactical station and leans against the wall.
"How's it looking with our plan?"
"Go to bed, sir. It's twenty-three hundred," Frishman replies.
"Why do I have to go to bed when you're still here."
"Because while you out, I broke for three hours to sleep," he retorts.
Alexander pauses mid-sip and lowers the tea from his lips, "You left the bridge and I didn't even know?"
"Yes, sir," Frishman replied without looking up from his work.
"Then who the hell was in charge?"
"I had Lieutenant Sokolow take command. She's been in senior training for three weeks."
Alexander grunts with surprise before following up, "Where is she now?"
"Asleep, sir, where you should be."
Alexander shrugs and sips his tea, "Alright, but where do we stand?"
Frishman sighs and answers, "We haven't heard from Paragon Carbon yet. I assume he's milling it over. In the meantime, we have Red Fleet segregating its forces for the assault and Green is running drills while the Vasari get that gate under control."
The communications officer, Lieutenant Gross, interrupts from across the bridge, "Sir, we have good news from planet-side."
Alexander raises his tea in salute while smiling at Frishman, "See, it was good I showed up. Go on, lieutenant."
While Frishman shakes his head, Gross continues, "Sir, they have a frigate bay complete and are ready to begin the first production."
"Excellent," Alexander says, "Have them build a Raloz and three Arcova Scouts."
"Should the Argonev be fitted for combat, sir?"
"No, have them equip it with construction bays and trade ports. Afterwhich, recycle both the frigate bay and the trade port."
Gross' ears perk up at the order, "Dismantle both?"
"Yes," Alexander replies, "we can only stabilize so many objects in orbit. I want to use the station to condense our operation. When they complete the task, have them relay a message to me and I will give further instructions."
While Gross goes to work with this headset, Ensign Karlin turns from the helm, "Sir, what about being surrounded by J'rah's men?"
Alexander replies, "We can be ready for them, we just..." The admiral takes a moment to look around the bridge, "Did everyone here leave the bridge when I wasn't looking?"
Frishman replies, "No, sir. We've been rotating shifts, but you're too tired to have noticed."
Alexander makes a single nod, "Ah, then I think I need to sleep. I'll be in my quarters. Try not to bug me."
Karlin turns back to his station and Frishman says, "Goodnight, sir," to which Alexander gives out a half-hearted wave awhile disappearing through the portal out of the bridge.
