Summary - They have arrived...

The U.S.S. Scimitar, after two months of travelling has finally arrived at their destination, the Bravo Epidian Star System.

Why they were reassigned to Bravo Epidian...they do not know - however they do know that their mission is an important one...one which is highly classified...

With them are the U.S.S. Eridanus, and the U.S.S. Savona. By the recommendation of Captain Tyrie from the Savona, members of the Savona and Eridanus command staff have beamed over to the Scimitar, preparing for a briefing. Months of waiting now come to an end...

...today is a new day...Day 50. It is now that life begins anew...

CO_Capt_Black says:
::in his ready room, going over some final administrative reports from Starfleet::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::stands near the window in the Obs Lounge, staring out at the expanse and cracking his knuckles::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::looks down at her console thoughtfully looking over her diagnostic results carefully, her eye being caught every few moments by the spark of her diamond ring::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Walking around in engineering, preparing the last things before heading to the briefing::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Saves a simulation he was working on and closes it down, stands up and tugs his uniform into place::
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::prepares a little report on his sensor modifications, encrypting and saving it to his personal folder ready to be accessed::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::shaking his head as he reads the last simulation results::

ACTION - Bravo Epidian, their destination, appears to be a dead system. A few planets drift through space, orbiting the systems single star. None of the planets support life...or are of any interest at all.

CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::goes back to his sensors, devoted his full attention to them before the briefing starts::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Observes the random officers he wasn't familiar with running around in the observation room, doing various arrangements before the briefing. With a sigh he glances around the room, hoping to catch a familiar face. Shaking his head, he raises his head and pauses:: *Senior Crew*: All Senior crew, report to the Observation lounge.
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Grabs a PADD from a console and heads for the doors::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*XO, CSO, TO*: Commander, Lieutenant, Ensign, please report to me ready room for a moment...
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::nods to one of his SO's and walks down to the captain's RR, pressing the door chime::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Mutters some profanities under his breath and makes his way out of sickbay::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::looks up and heads to the observation lounge.::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::The transporter phases out around her, and Kaimana Xia discovers that she is aboard the U.S.S. Scimitar. Giving a soft smile, she steps off the pad along with three members of her senior staff, and heads towards the bridge::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands from behind his desk and takes out the necessary materials as takes position in front of his desk::  Outloud: Come in !
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Captain's request, he nods at a passing officer and parts the observation lounge on his way towards the nearest TL::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::looks up for a moment signing off on her console and standing adjusting her uniform and smoothing her hair delicately into place::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Receives the com from the XO and continues into the TL:: TL: Deck 1, Observation Lounge.
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::checks the time on his PADD and wonders then everyone will start to arrive, he hates being away from his own vessel for to long::
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
:;steps through the door, standing at attention in front of his desk:: CO: Captain Black, sir?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Makes his way to a turbolift:: TL: Observation Lounge.
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::walks over to the TL stepping in:: Computer: observation lounge ::leans against the back wall and sighs::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::After a few brief moments, her and her staff arrive on Deck One, and she immediately makes her way for the Observation Lounge. As she does, the doors part for her, and she looks around, a grin on her face. Moving into the room, she motions for her staff to sit at the end of the large briefing table and nods to Tyrie::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::whistles a tune that has been stuck in his head the past few days:: Self: Damn tune.. ::Carries on whistling.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::enters the observation lounge and walks to the replicator and orders himself a cup of tomato juice::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: Ensign...  ::gestures towards the couch::  have a seat, Commander Maor will be here shortly...
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::nods, steps forward and offers his hand:: ECO: Commander Xia I presume?
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Parts the TL, he exits to the bridge and makes the short way towards the ready room. Pausing, he chimes the door to the room before allowing himself to enter. Noticing the Captain and the CSO, he nods towards the Captain and makes his way standing beside him:: CO: Captain. ::Turns his attention to the CSO:: CSO: Ensign.
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL and walks towards the observation lounge::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::The TL stops and Kerak makes his way towards the Observation Lounge, still whistling::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She nods and moves over towards the Captain, looking him over slowly:: Self: Younger then I expected...especially for someone of his career. SCO: Yes, Captain, Commander Kaimana Xia, Commanding Officer, U.S.S. Eridanus.
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::says nothing at the unofficial seeming approach and takes a seat, trying his best to sit at attention::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO::  XO: Commander...  I thought we should get this formality over with before we head to the observation lounge...
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Steps into the lounge and looks for a vacant seat and sits down::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::steps out of the TL as it stops and heads for the observation lounge, jogging for a moment to catch up to the MO:: MO: Mr. Kerak, I've been meaning to speak with you
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::stands up and nods to the XO:: XO: Commander
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wanders into the Observation Lounge still whistling and finds a seat apart from everyone else::
CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Mr. Delar, front and centre please!
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::winces slightly then allows his smile to return:: ECO: Captain Robert Tyrie, USS Savona . . . good to meet you Commander.
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::follows behind the MO hoping to catch his attention::
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::stands to attention again and steps forwards, wondering if this is a demotion for his attitude in the previous week::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Gives the Savona Captain an odd look, nods to him once and goes back to her staff, taking a seat not to far from the head of the table::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::flops down in the  captain's chair and stays silent::

ACTION - The Captain's chair lets out a loud crack and drops a few centimetres. Damn it Exeter!

CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Mr. Delar, in the past couple of months you have shown yourself as a resourceful science officer and an adequate manager of the science department. In recognition of these actions and your exceptional work performed in our last mission I'm pleased to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::opens a small black box, takes a black pip out of it and attaches it to the CSO’s collar::  CSO: Congratulations, Lieutenant !  ::extends his hand::
CSO_Ens_Delar says:
::cant help but smile, puffing out his chest a little:: CO: Thank you, Captain...::looks down at his pip and smiles wider::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::stands and watches Xia, winces again then returns to his spot neat the window::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Prepares his padd to take notes::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances down for a short moment, finding what he was looking for he returns his attention back to the Captain and the CSO. Nodding after the Captain's speech, he smiles politely and waits for the Captain to finish:: CSO: Congratulations, Delar. ::Offers his hand::
CO_Capt_Black says:
XO, CSO: Now Gentlemen, before they know we're missing we should head for the observation lounge....
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks around the Observation Lounge, still whistling::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::takes the XO's hand and gives it a firm shake:: XO: Thank you, Commander.
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::sits down beside the MO:: MO: can I have a word with you Mr. Kerak, I promise to only take a moment of your time
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::glances over at the Ensign annoyingly whistling and looks him up and down, then returns to his PADD::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: After you, Captain?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
OPS: Yes?

ACTION - Outside the windows of the Observation Lounge, the Excelsior Class U.S.S. Savona and Nova Class U.S.S. Eridanus can be seen nearby, holding their positions in orbit of Bravo Epidian II.

FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::ignores the chair and just remains seated::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO and moves out of the ready room, carrying two PADD's with mission info, crosses the bridge and quickly enters the observation lounge::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::walks out lastly, heading for the Obs lounge after the XO and CO, still smiling over his pip::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
MO:I was just wondering if there was anything you needed modified in sickbay, or any way I could be of help to you...in case there were any modification or anything...hoping to be helpful, little thank you for making sure my finger was back on all nice and useful for me ::smiles warmly::

ACTION - A dozen or so other officers from the Scimitar, Savona and Eridanus enter the room, standing against the room and watch and wait.

SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::nods to his crew from the Savona::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Walks a few steps behind the Captain, he stands at the entrance to the room:: All: Captain on deck.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::stands up and just looks around = not really interested at all.::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Gets up from his chair and looks at the door, standing at attention::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::stands at attention as Captain Black enters::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::walks over and stands to attention beside Brenna, squeezing in between her and a young ensign, still smiling::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
OPS: Everything is fine in Sickbay, thank you for your offer, I shall inform you if I do require anything ::his face remains cold and neutral as always::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods at the Captain's direction, waiting for his release order::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::watches Black enter::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Stands to attention::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO and moves towards the centre chair of the observation::  All: At ease and have a seat....
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Sits down again, taking the padd into his hand::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::caught something as Delar stepped up:: CSO: is that an extra pip Rowan ::smiles brightly::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he makes his way towards his chair. He takes a seat and remains silent::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::stands with hands behind back holding mission PADD and awaits his roll, has uncontrollable urge to twitch but holds back::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::sits down again playing with her engagement ring nervously::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::sits down next to Brenna and smiles at her playing with the ring:: OPS: It is, do you like?
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: A short word of introduction, thank you all for coming here today, a special welcome to the staff of the Savona and Eridanus, good to have you with us today...  obviously we're here today to discuss our mission at hand and for that I'd like to hand briefing over to Captain Tyrie of the Savona...  SCO: Captain ?  ::gestures::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
CSO: It suits you, congratulations ::smiles and squeezes his hand keeping her eyes on the captain::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::takes a seat and turns his attention to Captain Tyrie::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::nods at Black, and blinks hard, walks up the large display and brings up a medical diagram of a 'Dreamscape':: ALL: Get a good look folks, your going to become very familiar with this species. . ..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::smiles back and remains quiet, switching his view to the captain up front::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::rolls eyes and wished he should have gone enlisted::

ACTION - The lights in the briefing lounge dim, and the display behind Robert Tyrie blinks on. A large creature, possibly 2 metres tall or more can be seen...

AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Looks at the creature on the screen and starts to make notes::

ACTION - Its skin is a leathery black, thick, slimy. The creature appears to have long black hair, tied behind its back, and possesses razor sharp claws, apparently 30 centimetres in length. This...is a Dreamscape...

OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::lets out a low whistle:: self: why do I have a feeling that's not fond of the federation?
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: This is a 'Dreamscape', the name has been coined by the crews of three other starships that have encountered it, the Paula Greene, the Praxis and the Nighthawk . ..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::raises an eyebrow at the thing on screen, wondering about its height and how you would kill something like that...::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Self: Interesting... ::Studies the diagram::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: As you can see, it doesn’t look very friendly . . ::stops and twitches, hard:: . . . and I can tell you it’s not at all.  The Paula Greene encountered the Dreamscapes about 4 months ago in the Mizani Sector and successfully held them off from an attack . . .
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: The Nighthawk and the Praxis crews weren’t so lucky, they were all but slaughtered by these creatures.
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Looks over at the display, and recalls reading confidential reports about the incident on the Nighthawk - overly seven hundred officers killed...::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::Looks not impressed:: self: my pet hamster was scarier
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: SFI believed they come from another realm, they excrete Theta Radiation . . . in lethal doses.  Any questions so far?
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::starts playing with her ring almost frantically:: CSO: we're not going after those are we?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::turns to look at her and nods solemnly:: OPS: Probably...I read the report after the Nighthawk incident. They aren't friendly, and a risk to the Federation...
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::continues after a cough:: ALL: As you might have guessed the Scimitar, Savona and the Eridanus are going to the Mizani sector . . . to wage a war . . .  ::pauses::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Continues taking notes as the briefing moves along::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Casts a warning glance towards the OPS and the CSO's direction, he shakes his head and motions them to remain silent for now::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns as he hears the Dreamscape with the Nighthawk, remembering what Chris told him about it::  Self: Not to mention that those creatures killed the Nighthawk Captain's in the process...  ::sighs as he thinks of Captain Cerdan::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
ALL: Bugger, so all leave is cancelled?
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Her eyes go wide as she looks over at Tyrie:: SCO: You have got to be kidding...us...that's not possible...it's insane, even for these crews...
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::speaks up:: SCO: You have a plan, I trust, Captain?
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::looks down at her feet as she begins shaking all over::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the FCO and then back at Tyrie, giving the crew an opportunity to ask questions::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Yawns::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::reaches under the table and squeezes Brenna's hand firmly, whispering:: OPS: Don’t worry about it, you're safe...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
SCO: has Starfleet gone nuts in the last few bloody weeks I've been stabbed, shot, tarred and broken almost every bone in my body!
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::shoots a glance at Xia:: Xia: Starfleet Command believes that it is possible.  There are teams onboard my ship directly from the SF Corp of Engineers that will refit the Scimitar with added marines, weapons and scanner technology, after all the work is complete, we set course for Mizani II Beta.
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: One at a time please... and only constructive questions...  ::glares at the FCO::

ACTION - The Savona staff seem to be un-phased by Tyrie's announcement - apparently they've been briefed on this before.

SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
FCO: Then perhaps you should resign Lieutenant . . ..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::clears his throat:: SCO: Marines won’t do any good. DO we have new weapons, new armour, and new tactics? That’s what we need if we want to win this "war"
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
SCO: is this going to be a ground war?
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
CSO: That’s what we are here for Lieutenant, to plan, we have three Starfleet vessels here, three experienced crew, and not to mention a hell ova lot of marines and troops onboard my vessel to wage this operation.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
SCO: With all due respect, Captain, that does not answer my question. Do we have new weapons or armour?
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::picks up a phaser rifle off the floor and tosses it to the CSO:: CSO:: And we have this . ..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::grabs the phaser rifle out of the air and checks it over:: SCO: And what makes this so special, Captain?

ACTION - The phaser rifle is polished silver, lined with blue control lights. The system ties into a targeting headpiece, has been upgraded in fire power, and speed. Not to mention, a secondary over-kill option...

SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: Our phaser rifles have been updated, there is now a targeting headpiece, firepower and speed and a new added over-kill option.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::runs a hand over the weapon, not cringing as he realises that hand-to-hand combat wont work against these and this is the only option::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::twitches a bit:: ALL: And to answer all of yours questions, yes this will be a ground war.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:looks at the thing and grins:: SCO: this the same model that blows up in your face after ten shots or has that  bug been removed?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
SCO: And the headpiece?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
SCO: How many casualties will we be expecting?
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::looks at the whistling ensign:: MO: Plenty unfortunately . . .
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
SCO: we send the marines in first I hope!
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Self: Great
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
FCO: There would be too many casualties that way. It all depends on where we attack, or even if we do. A ground assault from orbit would be best for a planetary attack, while marine pods would be better against airborne carriers or starships...
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::shoots another glance at the FCO and steps forward, slamming hands on the table:: FCO: Ohh don’t worry, they will be sent in first, I wouldn’t have it any other way, I we wouldn’t want your already bruised and battered body to go through anymore hardship for the sake of duty.  ::turns quickly to the rest of the group::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: The rifles have been tested against Dreamscape hides, they are effective against them, and are shielded against the radiation.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
SCO: What about the PEOPLE behind the rifles, Captain?
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
ALL: Our body suits have also been modified for the radiation, but only by a margin . . . . Best bet is to get them before they get too close.
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She looks over towards Delar with a smile - always the tactician. Glancing over towards Black, she has a great deal of worry in her eyes that she does her best to hide::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
SCO: That doesn’t seem like a viable option, Captain. Where are we attacking, ground of starship?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::grins:: SCO: Good!  It's there job anyway they go in first I go in last and sort the bloody mess!
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::glances over the room:: ALL: Commander Xia, if you'd care to continue?  ::turns back to the group, trying to let the FCO's comment pass::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::remains standing, waiting for someone to get some proper information from::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises from his seat, he had enough:: FCO: Step down, Lieutenant. That will be enough.
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She nods and steps forward quickly, moving into the dim light of the Observation Lounge and looks over at Delar:: CSO: We will begin with a planetary bombardment of the surface - Mizani Beta is a lifeless moon...and we hope to clear away the majority of forces from orbit. ::She takes one of the rifles from an officer and looks it over slowly::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
ECO: Commander Xia ::nods in greeting:: Will we be rushing in with all guns blazing, or will we be committing scouts and getting some detailed information on the surface before heading out with tactical strikes?
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Taking the rifle, she activates it, and aims at Exeter's head, getting a stable lock. Holding the rifle without wavering, she stares at him:: ALL: Before my assignment to the Scimitar I spent six months with Starfleet R&D developing this technology...it can cut through a bulkhead...and at the very least, a body. We will triumph.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks down at the rifle in his hands and wonders if it will be enough::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles as Xia takes the lead of the briefing and quietly listens, taking the options into account, analysing personnel numbers and effective combat tactics for ground war::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Scouts of course...we won't be going in blindly Lieutenant. ::She smiles, noticing for the first time that Delar has been promoted::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wonders how many injured and dead he will have to deal with::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::turns around and smiles a bit, glad to get some sense of support from Xia, unlike the crew of the Scimitar::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
ECO: One last question, Commander...How many Dreamscapes are there estimated to be?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::Looks at Xia without flinching::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
CSO: Unknown at this time...the last survey of the Mizani Sector showed only a few dozen...but that was several months ago...
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Keeps observing and taking notes::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She glances at Tyrie and Black slowly:: ALL: The Scimitar's objective will be to conduct an orbital bombardment and serve as support troops, the Savona will act as our brute force and the Eridanus will act as scouts and will analyse the situation. Everything will be coordinated by Captain Black...you up to the job, boss?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::sits back down again, biting his bottom lip as he looks over the new rifle::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::gives Xia a confident nod::  ECO: Always, Commander, we will let those Dreamscapes see what Starfleet is made off...  ::grins softly and stands from his chair::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::looks up and sighs:: ALL: Well seeing somebody In Starfleet wants me dead........ Just give me the bleeding co-ordinates and go fight a war.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
:;looks up from the rifle and stands again:: ECO/CO: With your permission, Captain, Commander, I would like to take a look at our combat suits with the science team...perhaps I can find a way to protect us further from the radiation Dreamscapes give off?
CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Not only you, Lieutenant...  ::smiles and moves to the centre of the room::
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She nods to Delar slowly::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CSO as well::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::nods and sits back down, wondering what they could possibly do against theta radiation::
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: All Right, some orders so we can started with our various jobs...
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::watching the crew:: ALL: Keep the crews of the Nighthawk and Praxis in the back of your minds, we're here for them, and we're going to hand it to them like we did the Jem'Hadar.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Tyrie's comment and smiles::
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Looks up from his PADD as he hears the word 'orders'::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::has no want to hand it to anybody and sighs thinking that they will just end up dead too:
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::grins and speaks out to loud:: Self: Being slaughtered in hand to hand
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks over to Brenna and whispers:: OPS: We'll get by alright, we always have...
CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: I want all  fighter squadrons, shuttles and runabouts on standby with personnel to fulfill our support tasks...
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
::turns attention back to Black::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
FCO\CO: I'll have all the Savona’s support craft transferred here under your command Lieutenant.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
CO: they already on Standby for the last twenty four as punishment for screwing up big time.
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::looks up at him and whispers back:: CSO: yes...but just barely
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::smiles in his reassuring way:: OPS: We still got by. We can do this, trust me.
CO_Capt_Black says:
AEO: Mr. Pandora, work with Lieutenant O'Riley on the modifications that engineers from the Savona have in mind... keep Commander Maor informed on status....
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
SCO: your pilots any good?
AEO_PO_Pandora says:
::Nods and takes another series of notes::
CO_Capt_Black says:
MO: Obviously you have a lot to prepare in sickbay, you may need to need convert one of the cargo bays into a combat hospital just in case...
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She watches Black with a smile - always the leader. She sighs to herself softly, worried about this mission, but is glad that she at least has the opportunity to work with three great crews::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
FCO: The best Lieutenant, but I am sure as any good FCO from any ship would say, not as well as theirs, but they can get the job done.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CO: Yes sir
CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Lieutenant, put those new pips to good use and study all the information Captain Tyrie has given us, you might want to convey with Lieutenant K'Nargh on the tactical issues... if you have questions, feel free to convey with me...
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::nods solemnly to the CO::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
SCO: good seeing that I need some Experiences fighter jocks....... I had two months to train the replacements and believe me I need 4 more months.
CO_Capt_Black says:
OPS: Miss Moore, I'll need you to possibly meet with the other OPS' officers of the Savona and Eridanus, we need very clear and dependable communications when we get into some action... make sure it is as solid as titanium...  ::smiles::
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::nods slowly:: CO: of course Captain
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::squeezes Brenna's hand again, happy that she will be out of the fighting::
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: As usual all status reports are sent to Commander Maor, keep him informed at all times...   XO: Commander, and as usual you have the overall coordination...  ::whispers:: keep everyone on their toes..  ::grins::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he remains passive::
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: That is all from me at this point in time...   SCO, ECO: Captain, Commander, you have anything to add before we attend to our duties ?
ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::She shakes her head slowly, as if thinking deeply about the situation at hand::
SCO_Capt_Tyrie says:
CO: Other than that I would like to speak with you and Commander Xia post briefing no.  I will have the heads of the engine team’s beam over here immediately.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Tyrie::  SCO: Of course...   All: Dismissed !
OPS_LtJG_Moore says:
::sighs standing up from her chair and slowly making her way out of the room::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
