To Boldly Go...
Thoma hails the Montgomery on the secure channel, "Captain de Laroche, we're using a classified drive system. Commodore McCurrvey will brief you personally when we return. Odyssey, out."
Kendron gets a good reading on the Armida's emissions and feeds the information to Collette, who confirms, "Course laid in, ready for Warp!"
Beside her Saavik replies, "Aye, ready for Warp 14 on your command, Captain." Her hand hovers over the control sliders.
At Thelev's indication, Saavik slides the controls forward. The ship leaps forward at full emergency speed, the stars visibly lengthening into warp streaks on the viewscreen.
In the Flag Ready Room, Brad feels the strain in the decksole as Kyra says, "Wow, we must be going at real high warp speed. I've never felt a vibration like that!" Brad notes that it generally takes first timers several trips before they can tell the difference in the feek of the ship this way. Should she choose to follow him into Starfleet she has the makings of a fine officer. She's got at least a year before she's eligible to enter the Academy even with his and Collette's permission, though. Kyra says, "Maybe they'll need you on the Bridge, Dad. I'll get out of your hair."
