"Captain on the Bridge."<br/><br/>Some crew member made the formal announcement. It caused Airik Mitchell to pause momentarily as he left the turbolift and entered the bridge. He’d be sure that it was not protocol in the future. Walking to the command chair, he sat down.<br/><br/>“Open a channel to the dock.” Airik said.<br/><br/>“Channel open.” Came a prompt response. The screen vanished from a starscape to the operations of the spacedock. Commander Axon already transported back and was sitting at the main operations.<br/><br/>“Captain Mitchell, claps are clear.” She reported.<br/><br/>“Thank you Commander.” Airik said. “Helm, verify release of clamps and ease us away from her hold.” As if on cue slowly the ship moved away though in reality they couldn’t feel the movement thanks to the inertial dampeners.<br/><br/>“Clear, sir.” Came a response.<br/><br/>Airik smiled. “Helm, lay in a course for Pluto.” Airik said. “Warp six.” By basic calculations, at warp six the McNair would get to Pluto in just under an hour.<br/><br/>“Course set.”<br/><br/>“Engage warp.” Airik ordered. With his order, the ship took off in a star stream. He looked over to the Second Officer. “So far so good.”<br/>
