Thundersdawn

The captains thoughts were interrupted as the airlock at the back of the command deck thudded open, allowing Kalinda and Carter to enter the bridge, Peters listened to them for a few seconds then made the all too accurate deduction that they were so wrapped up in their discussion of some incredibly complex scientific theory that neither of them even realised they had arrived at command.

"Kalinda! Carter!"

Their heads snapped around, startled, their expressions quickly becoming sheepish as they realised where they were.

"Sorry" they said almost simultaneously.

Peters quashed the thought that Kalinda and Carter were related, but only because their records said otherwise. Those two acted so alike at times, except, Peters noted, when Soldier Carter came to visit. Kalinda had never entered military service, so did not have that aspect to her.

"Major, we could use your help on this one too" she added, trying to keep it informal for Kalinda who still wasn't used to military procedure, and was a bit young to join up anyway "Kalinda, thanks for coming so fast."

Curious, Carter and Kalinda approached Captain Peter's duty station.

"As you know, an Asgard vessel arrived some hours ago, unfortunately an allied vessel arriving in this system usually means trouble is coming, trouble we are not ready for. There are only two armed craft in this system, the Asgard vessel and us. The problem is our weapons; specifically our pulse lasers and missiles are not up to scratch. We need to get them up to scratch, and fast. I'm not waiting until the next financial year for some weapons to defend this base with!" Peters thumping her hand on her desk punctuated her last word.

Carter nodded straight away, her military mind allowing her to quickly asses the danger of being on an under gunned space station, Kalinda took a few seconds longer, but by this time Peters and Carter had already moved to a large clear area, on the command deck, meant for a fighter control station when the Lancers eventually arrived, and were spreading schematics across the deck, she hurried to join them and they began bouncing ideas back and forth.
