"Very good, Warrant Officer."
Kastner returned to the holoprojector and faced the rear admiral, "Admiral Macy, sir, we've got something."
"I heard; captains, prepare for a realspace reversion, have your interdictors start their projectors."
Ludovit gestured towards his first officer, who stood just outside the frame, and saw him begin to bark orders down into the crewpits. He turned back to the projector, from which the commander has disappeared, leaving only the rear admiral and Captain Brown. Macy continued speaking, "We'll cut central comm communication and split into a three-prong organization. Follow the encounter plan as discussed."
The feed cut out, and Ludovit walked down to the bridge. The crew pits were a frenzy of activity once again, watched by Commander Baker's sharp gaze.
