Odac Yova received the summons of the attack on the ship and made hastily back to the ship to see what had occurred.

The shuttle made dock and he was immediately greeted by Horton Clinton.

" Sir it's a mess. Thanks for coming back."

" I love this ship...let me get a report. Acting Chief Yova to Commodore Song?" Yova said tapping his comm badge.

Cyndi tapped her comm badge "I'm in my ready room,"

Heading to the bridge Yova hustled upwards passing station maintenance crews.

" Hi Ma'am I took the quickest shuttle I could get. I just wanted to let you know I am back to begin repairs." Yova told Cyndi.

Cyndi leaned back in her seat "Damage reports are still coming in, they didn't make it to the bridge. That was locked down, and under heavy guard."

" Well I am back and will start immediately on the essential repairs. At least we were in space dock. I see the ground services have already started their repairs. I will try not to get in their way Ma'am." Yova added.

"Yes we were in dock but when the incident happened I left my husband in charge of the bridge and I ordered the ship backed away from the star base. We've only just docked again. I was taking no chances," Cyndi replied

" Well let me correlate with the station engineer. If I am not needed I'll finish my leave." Yova replied.

Cyndi was puzzled as to Yova's comment. Of course he was needed. Choosing her next words carefully "Your always needed lieutenant, but if you'd like to finish your leave I'll put in a request to have base engineers begin the repairs. It's your call, you know the ship best."

" I will gladly stay ma'am given we have no chief. It's just that I got married yesterday and well my wife is still in Scotland waiting." Yova answered

"Then lieutenant by all means return to your bride," Cyndi said, "I'll have the base engineers see to repairs and damage control."

Snapping to attention as is the custom he concluded to leave but didn't. " Thank you Commodore. I will check in with Ensign Clinton before leaving. I know he won't to going on shore leave. He hates people."

"I seem to recall that, and if you feel confident that he can handle the repairs I'll go with it," Cyndi remarked "But you do know I can preform weddings as well?"

" Commodore given our incident Lt Kees and I didn't think you would want to perform it for us." Yova replied

"It would have been an honor to preform it," Cyndi commented "I don' hold grudges, I make decisions to keep this ship and her crew safe. It's not an easy feat at times."

" Wow I blew that one then. Commodore can I push the do over button and ask you to perform a Star Fleet wedding for us during leave? Ellie would really like that."

"Talk to her and see what she says and if she's okay with it I'd be honored to preform the wedding," Cyndi replied.

" Oh she is interested. Let me get to work and help get the ship stabilized and then I'll let Ellie know you said yes. I could hug you Commodore if it wasn't against regulation. " Yova nodded and then hyper speeded out the door.

Cyndi couldn't help but laugh as Yova headed out so quickly. Turning to Clinton, "Are you up for this task?"

" Ma'am that Bajoran has worked like hell to fill the last chiefs shoes. I can see to the mess clean up but I think he wants that Chief slot. For a Bajoran he ain't half bad." Horton told the Commodore.

"As soon as everything settles down I plan to give him chief slot. Keep that between us for now. If you think you can get the cleaned up then go for it," Cyndi said.

" It will be done Commodore." said the older haggered ensign.

"Good," Cyndi said "The damage reports are coming in, but from what I've seen the damage is not too bad."

Clinton snapped sort of to attention and exited and found the young acting chief at the engineering console.

" Horton we have a lot of work to do. Let's get to work." Yova said.
