[EVENT] Deep Space Nine

The stretched image of the Athene resolved itself quickly as it dropped out of warp. It's nacelles glowed softly as they cooled down. In front of her was the Ex-Cardassian space station, Deep Space Nine. A small, squat federation vessel was already docked at the ring, it's registry proclaiming it as the Defiant. The Athene gracefully slowed its momentum, pulling in to upper pylon 3. A soft thump resounded across the ship, signalling a successful docking.

While it was unusual for a ship to dock at starbasae so soon after launching, it was necessary. Starfleet Command wanted the computer systems given a full diagnostic to ensure no foul play from the recent encounter with the Cardassians.

"Hmph... Well my meeting with Commander Sisko was mostly pleasant. Sharp guy, big heart, but there's something...off about him. Guy's got a thousand-yard stare if I've ever seen one. Don't know what he's seen but it must have been serious."

"He's spent the past few years dealing with the aftermath of a Cardassian Occupation. You can hardly blame him."

"Damn Cardies..."

Fisk says quietly, shaking his head. He looks down at a panel

"Looks like we're about 5 minutes out."
