::ON::

Lt. Comdr. Devroe sat in the command chair going over some reports; being in command now that Captain O'Connell was on M-69 regarding the cease fire talks with the Assul. Setting one of the pads on her lap, Angel's thoughts went to Jamie hoping things would be resolved soon with the Assul and things could get somewhat back to normal.

Suddenly Devroe was snapped back to reality when she heard Communications call out "Commander you have a call coming from M-69" then he paused a moment " Ma'am it's marked for your eyes only."

Hoping for some good news Angel stood "Comms send it to my Office; Lieutenant SanChez you have the conn" then she left the Bridge to see what this was all about. Entering she sat and logged into her terminal when a Vulcan's face appeared. With a smile "Commodore Sureth what do I owe the pleasure of your call" she inquired.

[ Commander you are in temporary command of the Peel. Captain O'Connell has volunteered for a special mission.] Sureth informed.

Angel was taken totally by surprise but kept her composer and professionalism "Understood Commodore; I'll do my best" she replied as the screen went back to the UFP logo. Sitting back in her chair Angel suddenly felt the full weight that had been place upon her. Letting out a sigh she was determined not to let Jamie down; she had trained for this very situation. First things first "Computer, Captain O'Connell is off ship on a mission; transfer all command codes to
Lieutenant Commander, Devroe, Angel, security code Alpha, Gamma, 10, Delta until further notice" came the order.

"All command codes are now transferred to Lieutenant Commander, Devroe, Angel, security code Alpha, Gamma, 10, Delta until further notice" came the reply.

Walking back out to command Angel sat "Comms please open a ship wide please" she ordered. Moments later she received a thumbs up "Attention Crew, Captain O'Connell is currently off ship on a mission. Therefore as per Commodore's Sureth's order I have assumed command until the Captain returns. Let's all work together and show our Captain we can operate the Peel when he isn't here. Thank you" then the ship wide was terminated.

Standing Angel made her way over to Maria "Lieutenant SanChez, until the captain returns I would like you to be my acting First Officer as well as Tactical/Security. Are you ok with that."

"Absolutely Commander; whatever you need of course" Maria replied with a smile happy to help Angel navigate the situation.

Returning to the command chair, Angel sat looking at the view screen seeing what seemed to be a peaceful area as she thought "Well at least things are quiet, for the time being." She knew full well if things should escalate then she do due everything in her power to not only protect M-69 but also her Ship and Crew. "Her Ship" she thought; that did have a nice ring to it she had to admit.

At science Ltjg Sayvek cleared his throat.
" Commander will the Peel be docking on the station?"

"Mr. Sayvek that's up to the Captain" then Angel paused "But he had mentioned giving the Crew a couple days leave at the station when the Assul situation had concluded." Actually she was looking forward to some time off the Ship and there was a conversation she needed to have with Jamie as well.

" As you are acting Captain I mere thought you would know. I wish to put in for a transfer to this ship if that is acceptable to Captain O'Connell. " Sayvek replied.

"I'm sure your transfer to the Peel won't be a problem; the Captain speaks highly of your competence" then she paused "As far as leave goes; the Captain only mentioned it in passing the last time we spoke" Angel explained.

" I understand. There will be time to pack and move my personal items." Sayvek replied.

"Yes of course, we'll give you ample time to get your personal affairs seen to I can assure you" Angel replied with a smile.

" Commander You are doing a great job as acting Captain." Sayvek added.

As they spoke another comm came from Sureth.

[ Commander Devroe I have need of the Peels services. Sensors are detecting a temporal anomaly near this station. Please have your teams conduct chronoton and temporal scans of this system.]

"As you wish Commodore, we'll get right on it" Angel replied then paused a moment "Sir any word from Captain O'Connell."

[ Nothing yet Commander.]

"Understood Commodore, thank you. "Helm move us closer to M-69, one half impulse if you would please.....bring us within fifteen hundred kilometers then stop" Angel ordered starting to be a little concerned for Jamie.

"Moving closer....one half impulse.....we're at fifteen hundred kilometers, initiating full stop" Ensign Hanes replied.

"Lieutenant Sayvek, please start your scans as per the Commodore's wishes" came the order; now they would wait until scans were completed.

" Scanning...chronoton emissions from the Overwatch vessel. I would speculate they have some sort of temporal device aboard. The readings are similar to that of a Romulan quantum singularity aboard their D class cruisers." Sayvek replied.

"Thank you Mr. Sayvek and please transmit your findings to Commodore Sureth" Angel ordered then taking her seat at command trying not to be too concerned over the Captain's absence.

" Will do Capt....I mean Commander." Sayvek replied.

Angel couldn't help herself and grinned at Sayvek's slip-of-the-tongue "That's quite alright Lieutenant; I've done that many times myself over the years" she commented "Helm go to station keeping for now" she ordered then grabbing the command padd from the chair's side pocket, Angel checked for any pressing matters that needed her attention.

"Aye Commander" Helm replied. Now they would keep a watchful eye on both M-69 and the Peel until Captain O'Connell's return.
