Suggestion

As he listened to the Alsea officers arguing their approach as to how to best involve their ship in the task ahead, Captain Kheren stood to request the floor. Once he got it, he turned all four oculars towards the crew of the warship, his own tactical mind in full gear.

"Gentlebeings... why not do both? My ship and yours are both assigned to the same sector of the anomaly and to the same opposing force. Since the Artemis is the slowest ship in the fleet, albeit with the largest warp field, it would be no effprt for the Alsea to stay in formation with us even in multivector assault configuration. This way, we would provide the largest subspace trench and no less than four deflectors to close fractures. but not only would this more than compensate for our slower progression, but the Alsea would be already deployed and ready to face efficiently any agressive opposition coming our way."

Marking a pause to let them think upon his words, the Andorian finished by adding:

"My ship is also the least tactically advantaged; but with the extra reserve power we have from our refited warp core, we can easily extend shield cover to any pressed section of the Alsea if need be... and add twenty phaser arrays and five hundred torpedoes to any needed counteroffensive if we fail to talk the Romulans out of their plans. So, I see no problem in following both your sound advices."
