. Zak grimaced slightly then said, "Hines, stand down from Red Alert. Make it Yellow due to our power levels. At least the damn crazy Android isn't chasing Patterson here!"
. Hines nodded and downgraded the alert, "Yellow alert, sir."
. Tabby muttered, "Once again, I told you so." Then he asked, "MAX, where can I pull power from?"
. MAX's face flicked over to the Master Systems Display as he said, "Processing ...."
. A call came from Sickbay. Dr. K'Trevala had been monitoring things and decided to chime in. "Tabby, pull it from Sickbay."
. Tabby replied, "Are you sure, Shadow?"
. The doctor answered, "All our tools are powered for right now, we're running our emergency generator. Should give you enough to get Patterson on board."
. Tabby nodded, "Pulling power now."
. Shadow responded, "Understood, will be waiting for him."
. Filler was still holding a death grip on the flight sticks at Helm. Finally he mumbled, "Um, sir, we don't have any ... uh ... autopilot settings right now, and ... um ... holding a stable orbit is, uh, not easy."
. Tabby glanced at him. "Filler, do you need me to assist? I have flown this ship a few times. I'm no Carter, but I might be better off then how you are right now."
. Zak stood from the Command Chair and walked over to stand beside Ops. He gestured at the board, "Kill the lights in the hydroponics bays and waste processing, we can turn all that back on once we've rebooted."
. Tabby looked up at him. "Understood sir." He toggled a few switches then said, "Shall I let you have some fun at my station while I fly this beast?"
. Zak smiled at his Chief of Operations. "It's been years since I actually ran an Ops station, Commander. Thanks for offering, but, no, you do your job, I'd be lost with the new operating systems."
. Tabby smirked. "You do realize I'll be right next you, Captain, I can guide you."
. Zak patted Tabby's shoulder. "Manage Operations, Commander."
