"A simple misunderstanding."  Captain Harlock says calmly.  "I appreciate the sentiment, truly.  I just so happen to have plans that I wish to brief the Rogue Trader on before departing... plans I am not sure he will approve.  I also wanted my fellow captain's opinion on my plans to scout the nebula... which is why I wanted to call a meeting before we leave.  The trip to the Nebula will take nearly a week for the Everest, at least, that is what my navigator informs me, and waiting a few hours for Cortez to return did not seem a great waste of time in comparison."<br/><br/>He shrugs.  "In addition, I'm afraid that the Everest isn't quite finished.  My engineers should have her fully operational in a few hours... hopefully before the Kobras Aquairre returns... but setting off at full speed for the warp gate might not be the wisest course before the ship's repairs are complete."<br/><br/>Jason Harlock smiles.  "If that makes me overly cautious?  Well, perhaps I am.  I hope you won't hold it against me.  Come now, let's be friends.  We do have to work together, after all."
