Admiral Willian Targaryen sat at the conference table in his office aboard Deep Space 12 staring at the datapad that his Attache had given him. It had been a few months since he reported aboard to assume command of the station and establish a secondary command post for Starfleet and, already, he was more annoyed than anything else. With the restrictive nature of their mission at DS12 there had been little opportunity to explore the galaxy, little chance to make a difference. It was unsettling.

At least he had finally convinced Starfleet Command to give him and his crew a mission. Starfleet Command had agreed to reactivate Battle Group Omega due to the growing risk posed by the Interstellar Coalition with DS12 as its headquarters. He had been searching through records for appropriate personnel and one name had stood out to him. Now he just had to wait for him to take the call.

In his Ready Room aboard the Valhalla, Ken was reviewing the information they had collected from their time in the mirror universe along with the dealings they had with JJ's grandparents. As he looked over the information, he was alerted by the coms officer he had a priority message coming in on his private channel. Activating the viewscreen, he found himself looking at the visage of Admiral William Targaryen. Leaning back in his chair, he shook his head. "Admiral. this is an unexpected surprise, to what to I owe the honor?"

"Same as always, Captain, we have a mission for the Valhalla. You're requested to set immediate course to Deep Space Twelve in the Maelstrom Sector of the Alpha Quadrant. Coordinates have been transmitted to your Helmsman now," the Admiral informed from his Office on DS12.

Ken absorbed the news, as usual the admiral was playing close to the vest and Ken knew wouldn't get any explanation until they arrived at DS12. "We'll get started immediately. How soon do you need us there Admiral?"

"You have some time, Captain," Willian answered honestly, most people would have assumed he'd have ordered them to arrive yesterday though. "I know that your ship has had some interesting adventures recently so you can also resupply when you get here."

Ken chuckled, "A classic understatement if I ever heard one. Interesting to say the least Admiral. We'll be glad to take the offer to resupply, we're low on several items." Ken informed him. "If there is nothing else Admiral, we'll get underway and see you shortly."

"We'll chat more when you arrive. Have you and your XO come over to meet with me aboard the Station when you get here," the Admiral informed. "Unless you have something else?"

"It just so happens that we have nothing else. I look forward to that chat. We'll see you soon," Ken answered and waited to see if the admiral had anything else he wanted to impart to him.

Willian nodded from across subspace. "Safe journey," he said as he closed the channel.
