With the war over, the Protector no longer always traveled at maximum warp. Their return trip to Earth took more time, and was less taxing on the engines. This pleased Commander Quinn who was looking forward to overhauling the ship's systems. He was hoping to replace the warp nacelles, which took a beating during the final battle of the war. Peace time life was now the order of the day. It had been a long & rough war, and everyone was glad the fighting was over. Even the Klingons relished the coming of peace. Their fleets had been battered by Gowron during the last few weeks of the war. His waste of troops and ships in a play to smear General Martok, was seen as dishonorable by many Klingons. Martok had gained support from most of the houses. Thanks to Klang who proclaimed Martok as the rightful leader of the empire. However, the House of Gordek was already plotting to overthrow Martok. This would mean civil war in the future for the empire.
After several weeks of travel. The Protector finally reached the Sol System. They were home. Well those who were from Earth were home. The Protector came into the system near Saturn. They soon passed Jupiter and Jupiter Station. It didn't take much more time to reach Mars. As the ship approached the red planet. Captain West had Lieutenant M'Ress contact approach control for the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. This is where the Protector was built. Approach control gave the Protector permission to dock at space dock 15 on the far side of the planet. Captain West ordered the course adjusted, and soon the space dock came into view. The ship slowly moved into the dock, then stopped. Kyle rose from his chair. He turned towards Lenara, telling her they had leave time coming. Every member of the crew was getting leave, but not everyone would have leave at the same time. Part of the engineering crew would be staying on board during the repair work being done on the ship. With a full command staff now. Both Kyle & Lenara were free to take their leave time together. He wanted to take Lenara to New Orleans where Ben Sisko's father owned a restaurant which was a favorite hangout for Kyle during his days at the academy. Kyle often spoke of how great the food was there and how friendly Joseph Sisko was. The bridge systems were shutdown as everyone would be getting ready for their shore leave. Everyone then left the bridge, returning to their quarters. Kyle had a shuttle standing by in the shuttlebay. He & Lenara would be dinning on Earth this evening.
