That was your doing? ::nods:: Captain Whitmore was to have led this crew in the recovery of the drive, and the capture of the Romulan officers involved in the theft. [20:17] ::listens intently:: [20:17] ::chuckles in spite of himself:: Good one, captain. Unfortunately, Captain Whitmore is dead. [20:17] ::Nods:: Aye.

I estimate it will take the Romulans 4 more days of repairs to bring that drive back up to spec. That's the time we have to catch them. Dismissed.
