La Forge." Within seconds Redbay found that spot and pointed it out to La Forge on the screen. La Forge nodded and gave Redbay the thumbs-up. "Sir, we don't have to go far. If we travel seven minutes at warp eight directly away from the Furies Point, we'll arrive at a place where the beam is the same level of intensity as what we're feeling now with the shields up. It won't take us long to fix the shields. I think we'd be back here within half an hour." There was silence on the other end. La Forge glanced at Redbay. "Why isn't he answering?" Redbay whispered. He could feel his stomach clamping up at the thought of dropping the terror shield this close to the Fury ships. "He's checking to see what the reinforcements are doing," La Forge whispered back. "All right, Mr. La Forge," Picard said. "We will leave this site for exactly one half hour. No more. Is that understood?" "Clearly, sir." "You are making new modifications on the shields, is that correct?" Yes, sir." "Then send the changes, encoded, to the incoming starships. We want them to be as protected as they can be when they meet the Furies." "Aye, sir," La Forge said. Picard signed off. "Mr. Anderson," La Forge said, "you will monitor our changes over here, and encode them for the other starships." Anderson left his post near the warp core. "But sir, the core still needs repair." "This is top priority, Anderson," La Forge said. "Aye, sir." Anderson pulled over one more chair, took the remaining console, and waited. At that moment, the engines wailed, like wind through a cave, as the ship went to warp speed and headed away from the Furies Point. "I don't like the sound of that," Redbay said. He'd heard warp drives sound a thousand times better on freighters. "It'll be all right," La Forge said. "She's a good ship." Redbay frowned at La Forge. "She might be a good ship, but that doesn't mean I trust my life to her when she's damaged." La Forge grinned. "Neither would I," he said. "But I inspected the warp core. The damage is superficial and very noisy. Our concern is these shields. We have to make these modifications rapidly and precisely in order for the work to be completed in that short timeline." Anderson glanced at La Forge. He obviously heard the undertone in La Forge's voice. If the repairs weren't made and made correctly, not only would the crew of the Enterprise suffer, but so would the crews of the Idaho and the Madison. "Nothing like a little pressure," Redbay said, "to keep the job interesting." La Forge slapped him on the back. "Glad you're enjoying it." Redbay shook his head. He was doing anything but enjoying it. How had Will managed this all these years? Flying test models of new shuttles suddenly looked very relaxing. His old friend was a very strong person. The air was thick and teemed with food.
