{USS Albion, Bridge}

Zatara: ::Sitting at the helm controls of the Galaxy class ship, minding her own business::

Andrews: ::Sitting in the command chair:: “Ensign Zatara, estimated arrival time to Starbase 40 at current speed?”

Zatara: ::Leans forward to read the console display:: “Uhhh, okay, whats going on..?” ::Realises that Starbase 40 is actually getting further away with each second::

Andrews: “Is there a problem, Ensign?”

Zatara: ::Finally realising her mistake:: “No sir, no problem” ::Shifts the Albion from REVERSE and into forward warp speed and whispers:: “I didn’t even realise you could reverse a ship at warp speeds.”

Andrews: “So about that ETA?”

Zatara: “Um, 23 hours and… 44 minutes. I think.”

Andrews: ::Raises an eyebrow:: “You think?” ::He sighs before rubbing his chin thoughtfully:: “At least we’re getting there.”
