Task Force: Gamma

Ando was sitting at a console in the station's ad hoc design center. Just behind him one could see the ship that was being assembled in record time. At this phase in construction, anyone in Starfleet could recognize the sleek lines of an Intrepid class starship. In fact, even a well trained eye would be unable to notice any modifications from this vantage point. Ando's fingers flew over the console for several minutes as he entered data. If they continued at their present pace, the ship would be ready for warp trials in almost a month. Which Ando was pleased with, but that wasn't even quite half complete. Admiral Croft was less than pleased. The man demanded the impossible, then became rather angry when the impossible didn't happen. The ship, even at warp capable, would only have about three decks habitable, no quarters completed yet, no weapons, no auxiliary power, no science stations, no sensor arrays, the list was long, and time was short. Ando paused for a moment, rubbing his eyes. His combadge chirped to life.

"Commander Osaka, please report to the main computer core." The dulcet tones of the Regent was unexpected, especially at this late hour. Ando tapped the gold badge as he rolled his shoulders, stretching out the kinks.

"Osaka here, I'm on my way." Ando stood and left the lab, heading for the nearest lift.

Ando entered the main computer lab, noting that several androids were making adjustments to the android body that would house the Regent. He glanced around, just in time to see the Regent's hologram appear next to him. As the Regent spoke, the holomatrix destabilized several times, as if to punctuate the seriousness of the discussion.

"Commander Osaka, it is time. The degeneration of the memory core has reached a critical juncture. 52% of my processing power is now devoted to error correction. I will need to be transferred immediately or risk permanent and irreversible damage to my core programming."

Ando glanced around the room, "I understand, but shouldn't someone else be handling this? I'm not exactly the most qualified on the station."

The Regent just shook it's head, "I have reason to believe my continued existence is in jeopardy, Commander. My current information leads me to have 100% faith in only two persons. You are currently the only one on the station I trust."

Ando began to ask more questions, but then just shook his head, "Alright, Regent, I will of course help you. But when this is done, I want a full report." Ando walked over to a console, typing up a few commands, "Okay Regent, I'm going to need you to run through the process with me."
