Host CJ-Tala says:
Summary - The U.S.S. Scimitar has recently been towed back to Utopia Planitia following their disastrous assignment to Nacandarian space - a dimension they never even made it to.

Starfleet has a great number of questions for the Scimitar and her crew - what happened to the Federation Taskforce sent to Nacandarian space, why was an Airilian Minister discovered aboard the Scimitar, and what caused the subspace folding drive to fail?

Starfleet and Intelligence will get their answers soon enough. The senior staff have been ordered to a debriefing aboard Utopia Planitia station in fifteen minutes...

Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: Ambassador David McKitrick Captain Black...  
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks ahead at Black and then at  Majors and the Ambassador:: CIV: Well, I think we landed in a bucket load full of it now.
Amb_McKitrick says:
::never looks up from his PADDs - adjusts his eyeglasses::

::Majors stands up straight, dusting off his black Starfleet Intelligence uniform and looks around:: All: Greetings everyone, please have a seat - we will begin shortly.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::seated and watching::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks around the room::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::takes his seat after he does the usual scowling show at the Ambassador and Majors::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::leans back watching everyone and tries not to switch off::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::notes the scowl and shoots one back::  FCO: Is there problem Commander?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at how the FCO gives a small kiss to the CIV, but doesn't pay any more attention to it. He shifts a bit so he can sit comfortable:: self: They can send a man into outer space but they can't even invent a comfortable chair
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::nods to the captain::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::glances at the FCO::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
AMB: Nope I always scowl at people I don't know ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CTO and gestures towards the open seats::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::tries very hard not to burst out laughing at Exeter’s comment::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::raises eyebrow::  FCO: I think sickbay has a pill for that.....  
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::takes an empty seat and leans slightly on the table::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Amb: There is a cure for sobriety?
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
All: First off, I would like to begin by introducing a new temporary member of our Scimitar staff, Ambassador David Kitrick. Ambassador Kitrick is a specialist on the Airilians, and will be assisting us in further assignments in Mizani Sector.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO's remark and then turns her attention back to Brody::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::ignores the comment::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Self: wow there sending us back
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sits up as Lieutenant Majors begins to speak::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - As the crew take their seats a few other slip in, Ensign Kwan, the ship's counselor comes in along with a few Intelligence Officers.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::spots the shrink at forty paces and shudders a little::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and faces the new people before returning her attention to those around the table again::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - A pair of the officers move towards Lieutenant Lai and one taps his shoulder.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::watches the newbies come in and then turns her attention back::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::He starts to open his mind to feel the emotional tendencies in the room..but just a little, since he isn't really used to doing that::
EO_Pandora says:
@::Looks around main engineering, horrified by the damage he sees:: Self: What on earth happened here?? ::Goes to work on removing the subspace drive, still wondering what happened in this room::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the officers entering the room::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Looks up with a confused look on his face. He whispers:: Officer: Yes?
Amb_McKitrick says:
::takes a PADD in hand - nods to Majors - then looks towards the pair of officers moving towards Lai::  Officers:  Is there a problem Gentlemen?  This meeting is classified!
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> CEO: Excuse me Lieutenant; we need a word for a moment, if you would be so kind? ::She motions towards a door leading to another room::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::watches closely the two officers with the CEO::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::watches intently at what is going on and sighs wishing this meeting would end::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer 2> AMB: No sir, we need to speak to Lieutenant Lai by the request of Admiral Haydes, sir.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel officer: Can it wait?
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> CEO: No sir, please...follow me.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::raises his eyebrow slightly at Haydes' name::
Amb_McKitrick says:
Intel Officer:  Make if fast...   ::said in his best menacing tone::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors shakes his head and takes a seat near the head of the table, not far from McKitrick's podium::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::hears the name Haydes and her face comes to life again, shakes her head:: Self: Blast what does he want now..
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CEO::  CEO: Go ahead, Lieutenant... but keep it short..  ::glances at the Intel Officers::  Intel: I expect my officer to return with 10 minutes... understood ?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes his head:: All: Here we go again
Amb_McKitrick says:
::walks out from behind the podium::  All: The rest of you listen up.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks a bit puzzled as he sees two security officers escort the CEO out of the room::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::slowly returns his attention to the ambassador::
Amb_McKitrick says:
ALL: As you are all aware of by now, the Scimitar is temporarily under the command of Utopia Planitia until repairs are completed.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::smiles at the XO and looks back to the Ambassador::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> ::The female Lieutenant moves behind a large meeting table and takes a seat, motioning for Lai to sit across from her::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::Does not react to the ambassador's last comment:: Self: and...
EO_Pandora says:
@::Grabs another tool from his engineering kit, and holds it close to one of the bolts::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::tries very hard not to fidget::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::paces to the rear of the room near the view screen::  CO: And what I want to know is how a person posing as an Airilian Minister was able to infiltrate a Starfleet vessel and do this!  ::presses a button on the PADD and a damage report shows on the screen...  blinking heavily in red::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - MacAllister and Leasha seem to think they hear whispered voices in the distance...but it could just be someone in a nearby room...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:;sits back with his hands behind his head and looking glad:: Self: well, can't answer that now can i.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::raises eyebrows but holds her thoughts for the minute and then looks as she hears a whisper::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::wonders if Intel already know the answer to this::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks slightly confused at thinking he's hearing things::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Takes a seat, tapping his PADD against his thigh:: Intel Officer: What's this about?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::notices that Leasha also seems distracted::
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@::Walks over to assist EO Pandora::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> CEO: Starfleet Command has some questions for you, Lieutenant - before we can return you to active duty. You don't mind a few questions, do you?
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO Pandora: Can I help you there dude?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Starts to fidget uncomfortably and then shakes it off::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::looks to the CO::  CO: Captain? 
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sees the FCO and the CIV both appear distracted:: self: I wonder what that is about...
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The whispers seem to fade from the two officers minds, and Black and Pierce get the same odd whispering sensations in their heads...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::looks towards the CTO puzzled as it dies off::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Suddenly looks up as he hears a whisper... is it a whisper? Surely not from anyone here...::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks questioningly at Leasha::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - The whispers fade and things return to normal...
EO_Pandora says:
@::Doesn't look up from his work, not knowing he is being addressed::
Amb_McKitrick says:
All: Anyone?  Is security that lax on the Scimitar?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::ignoring the whispers as he blinks his eyes, then looking at the Ambassador::  Amb: Ambassador... have you read our reports ?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::motions to his ears and shrugs his shoulders slightly toward Leasha::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::falls back in on himself, letting the meeting go on around him as he focuses on his own mind, feeling a little more...secure...in the feeling of the other people around him. A slight touch of worry was all the could pick up, but not from a specific person...it could have been himself::
Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: Yeah... I have...   It's all a little too surreal if you ask me....  
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sees the CTO making a gesture to his ear.. Would he have heard the same thing.. Would they both have?::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel: I, err....I suppose not, no. Ask away, I'll answer as best I can. ::Stops tapping his PADD, and keeps it on his lap::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::notices some members of the crew slightly distracted for a moment she pauses thinking about this then turns her attention to the Ambassador again, shakes her head:: Amb: To  my knowledge Security on Scimitar is no worse then other ships in this fleet. ::her thoughts turn to Haydes again::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Shrugs at the CTO still slightly startled as she feels butterflies in her stomach begin t rise and tries to concentrate on the debriefing::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::walking back to the podium::  XO: Is that to imply that security is bad through out the fleet Commander Janan?
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> ::She smiles and picks up a PADD on the table:: CEO: The official report from the senior staff states that they arrived in a black "void" where they encountered you. Can you explain exactly how you arrived in said "void" Lieutenant?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Amb: Ambassador, the Dreamscapes infiltrated the vessel and it is more then likely that the Minister got onboard with their help...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::shrugs again and turns back to the meeting::
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO: Dude you need a hand?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::raises a eyebrow:: Self: why would a Starfleet Ambassador ask about ship protocols, I'm not asking about Cardassian-Klingon relations?
Amb_McKitrick says:
::not expecting an answer from the XO::
EO_Pandora says:
@::Looks over his shoulder:: EO: Uhm.. Na... Oh, maybe it wouldn't be too bad... Thanks.. ::Smiles, as he goes back to work::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel: No, not really. I should still be with the Ganymede. On the tropical planet.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Ambassador: Quite the opposite in my opinion ::smiles graciously::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Self: Well.. Wonder what this is all about.. he sure has a lot of aggressiveness over him for an ambassador
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CEO: Indeed. Reports from the Ganymede state that you were lost on assignment along with a fellow officer, one Lieutenant D'Aurayen Alezka. Is that correct?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Amb: with no disrespect Sir, but most of the crew were unconscious he could have come aboard at any time during that
Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: We'll see about that Captain...  Starfleet Intelligence is investigating this incident from all angles.  Currently there are being no charges levied against anyone on the Senior staff....  
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::comes back to his senses, putting up a small mental wall with the other telepaths in the room, and looks at the ambassador before speaking:: All: May I say something?
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
ACTION - A loud crash echoes through Main Engineering as a bulkhead collapses and a junior Engineer falls prey to the falling metal...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods at Leasha’s words:: Self: An unconscious crew a very damaged ship and a new warp toy which was given to us by people here, now who is the one's that are really messing with the ships in the fleet.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Sorry, but who died and made ambassadors bringers of bad news, sir? Last time I checked we fail under SF command not Federation reps, sir.
Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: In the interim...   I have been assigned to the Scimitar as special command liaison to kinda "watch over things?"
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Looks at Exeter not trusting this at all::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel: It was the same assignment...but I don't know what happened to him, though. He just sort of...disappeared.
EO_Pandora says:
@::Looks up as he hears a loud, crashing noise:: EO: What the...!
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::frowns slightly:: Amb: Ambassador, why are you accusing the Scimitar crew of treason and sabotage?
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO Pandora: Are you sure? You look like you are struggling with that.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sighs softly::  Amb: I'm glad to hear it that no one at Starfleet Command is jumping to conclusions..  ::glances firmly at McKitrick::  FCO: Commander, if you make a comment... be sure it is an useful one..  ::glances at the FCO::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> ::Nods:: CEO: Disappeared. Have you had any contact with Lieutenant Alezka since that time?
EO_Pandora says:
@::Smiles at Philips:: EO: Yes, I relay could use a hand, I suppose...
Amb_McKitrick says:
CSO: I am accusing you of nothing...   Simply interpreting the reports that I received....   I am sure that the flight data recorders will clear everything up.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
AMB: Sorry, but I bled and got injured a few thousand times  for SF I'm highly decorated Officer and now I and this crew are being accused of treason?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Amb: then why have they not been checked before this meeting Sir ?
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO Pandora: Should we check that out? ::Bends down to assist the EO::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel: I....how could I have? I was....somewhere else. ::Presses a finger to his temple::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::nods to Leasha:: Amb: And why are we being dragged in here and told we're saboteurs of our own ship, when we can be doing more USEFUL things?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::watches the exchange of verbal blows::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He stands and raises his hands, trying to call the meeting to orders:: All: Please, I am sure the Ambassador is not accusing anyone of anything...
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::adds slowly:: Amb: ...Ambassador.
EO_Pandora says:
@::Shakes head:: EO: They'll be alright, lieutenant..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::turns to Majors:: Lt: Lieutenant, if you had made your schematics for both the drive and your modifications more available, we may not even have had the problem we did
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Lt Majors: I’m sure he is not all I am asking Sir is why all the details have not been checked before this debriefing and all information acquired
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors shoots McKitrick a deadly glare and then turns back to Delar, the same glare falling upon him:: CSO: That situation is not up for debate at the time, Lieutenant. AMB: Ambassador, please continue...
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO: Alright lets get to work then. What do you need me to do?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::stands up slowly:: Lt: It is up for debate. This is what this is about.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::notices she’s been ignored again knowing this is not like SF Command::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::sticks his oar in:: Lt majors: I concur with the lieutenant, surely it would be better to know all the facts before calling a hearing to find out who's at fault.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands from his chair::  All: I concur with Lieutenant Brody... we are not here on trail... at least I do not see it that way...  ::glances at the Amb::   Amb: Ambassador, keep yourself to the facts please...  speculating will not make this debriefing go any better....  ::smiles faintly::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> CEO: I see...::She pauses briefly:: ...and where exactly where you, Lieutenant?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
Lt/Amb: Now, if you don't have anything more productive to say, Sirs, or if you're going to arrest me for treason, then I have Subspace sensors that need a desperate recalibration and a hundred other duties that need my attention.
EO_Pandora says:
@EO: Just, uhm... Keep this little hose... ::Points at the small hose:: .. out of my way... ::Holds the instrument near the hose, waiting for Philips to lift it up::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
<if you're not going to arrest me>
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the CSO and grins:: Self: trained him well, I have.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Whispers:: FCO: What is going on here
Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: Captain, I would strongly recommend that you instruct your Science Officer to stand down....   There is a point to this..  ::lowers voice::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
Intel: I don't know. ::Thinks to himself: For intelligence officers, they don't seem to have very much intelligence::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::buts in non-rudely:: Amb: Then I would kindly ask that you get to the point, Ambassador
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Whispers:: CIV: Well, I just joined in for the bickering, but I think we have just been accused of sabotage and treason
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO: You are not being arrested. ::looks back to him:: Now lets here what is to be said.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Lieutenant, you will remain here and attend this meeting... and consider that an order...  All: Everyone quiet down...  Amb: Please... continue...
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Officer> ::The woman gives him a glare and goes back to her data PADD:: CEO: Vice Admiral Haydes has requested that you be permanently assigned to the Scimitar, on a provisional basis. ::She slides the PADD across the table towards Lai::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::nods to the Captain:: CO: Of course, Sir ::takes his seat::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::whispers:: FCO: No the whole thing... the lack of information form out own systems that they don't seem to have ::stops:: oh well maybe its just me
Amb_McKitrick says:
::walks::  All: Your stories and convictions had to be tested...   This is a first line of investigative tactics assigned by SF Intelligence...   I'm 100% positive that the reports are completely accurate.
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@:;Grabs the little hose::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Whispers:: CIV: That's just Starfleet for you :;grins::
Amb_McKitrick says:
All: All of your service records are proof positive...    
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Smiles at Exeter::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::wonders to himself...That wasn't the first line of anything when I was in SFI, we got all our information straight first...::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives the curious look to the Ambassador not sure if that is good or bad::
Amb_McKitrick says:
All: Now...  Some information that you have not been privy too that you might be interested to know....
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Looks at the PADD:: Intel: So, it's permanent. What happened to the Ganymede?
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO: Now what?
Amb_McKitrick says:
All: Minister Del is in custody
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sits back as the bickering goes on.. a lot of things going on he doesn't understand. yet::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
<Intel Reports> CEO: The Ganymede encountered a temporal anomaly. She has returned to active duty under the command of Captain Joanna Matisse.
Amb_McKitrick says:
::stands still::  All: And I have also been in contact with the ANA...   
EO_Pandora says:
@::Presses the trigger of his instrument, which immediately emits a bright blue light::
Amb_McKitrick says:
All: You will all be relieved to know that the damage to the ongoing talks was minimal...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::leans back just wanting out now and then looks as she hears the ANA mentioned and smiles slightly as she remembers stunning a Minister::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles a little relieved by the ambassadors words, the first thing to come out of the ambassadors mouth she has been thankful for::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::heads back to the podium:: ALL: NOW, I will turn it over to Lt. Majors for your new orders.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes his head like he would give a flying fig::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Brody stands and sighs, thinking that this meeting has the potential to become a disaster situation:: CO/All: Captain Black, everyone...first I have good news...and bad...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head a bit looking back to the table:: Self: orders at Utopia from an SFI officer...can't be the best thing. :;then looks back to Brody::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Leans back as the most interesting part of the briefing seems over::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
::looks over to Brody and sighs softly::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::makes a note to talk with the CSO and FCO later::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Starts thinking about dinner and what she could do after::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::turns his attention to Majors::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::shakes his head and tries to concentrate::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Breathes a sigh, and smiles:: Self: Good...
Amb_McKitrick says:
::stands back against the wall::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CEO: Any other questions Lieutenant?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Smiles to herself as she thinks and loses complete interest in the meeting as normal for her::
EO_Pandora says:
@::Releases the trigger and pulls back the instrument. Reaching in with his hand, he pulls out two bolts:: EO: There.. Two down, eighteen to go...
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors stands at the head of the table and slides two PADDs across the table to Janan and Black:: All: We're going back to Airilius, by the request of our "dear" friend Admiral Haydes...
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Raises and eyebrow:: Intel: I thought....you were asking me the questions.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Self: Oh not again.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
Self: And there goes my calibrations...::hangs his head and sighs::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CEO: I suppose you are right. I am done, please give that PADD to your commanding officer and the assignment orders will be released shortly. Consider yourself dismissed Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::grabs the PADD from Majors and quickly reviews the information on it as he scrolls through the display::
Amb_McKitrick says:
::mumbles::  Majors: Dear ain't the word for it.....
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@EO Pandora: Eighteen?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::raises her eyebrows with that 'not again look', then turns her attention to the Padd which slid her way and picks it up, nodding to acknowledge Brody as she does so::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::wonders if that was the good news or the bad news::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO/XO: Permission to take a two year leave?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::grins at Exeter::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He notices that everyone in the room seems to have the same dislike for Haydes as he does and smiles at the crew's reactions:: All: While Ambassador Kitrick is conducting talks with the Airilian National Assembly, a team from the Scimitar will be assigned to infiltrate the Airilian Military forces on Airilius...we want information...
EO_Pandora says:
@::Grins:: EO: Eighteen... And then we still have to detach all wires and hoses...
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
All: The Airilians are obviously working with the Nacandarians...and we want to know what they're up to...and quickly...
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
Majors: You want to conduct an espionage mission during talks?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks up..crew undercover?.. Now that's interesting, and he starts dreaming of how it would be like::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
FCO: This meeting is not the time for such a request. ::smiles to him and looks back to Brody::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Lt Majors: Oh just a simple task then ::looks in disbelief and shakes her head::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Brody: let me guess who the lucky one is to lead that Suicide mission.......... LtCmdr John Exeter?
Amb_McKitrick says:
::stands up::  CSO: It's the only way...   Back channels for information have proven unreliable as of late....
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
::Grabs the PADD, holds it with the other, and then leaves, quietly thinking about the Ganymede, D'Aur, and what happened in the void. He walks into the briefing room and sits down::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CSO: Yes. Many of the Scimitar's senior staff have undercover experience...
EO_LtJG_Philips says:
@ EO Pandora: It's gonna be a long day. ::Rolls eyes::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::ignoring the FCO he glances at the CSO, then back at Majors::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO: And many of us have a history of getting shot at and deadly injured too ::smiles::
EO_Pandora says:
@::Chuckles:: EO: Right you are... A very long day..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
Amb/Majors: Maybe so, but we're talking about heavy guard here...Political talks aren't an everyday thing that you can waltz into a military base and take their secrets.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
Self: well that counts me out then .. if you miss out the time I was kidnapped
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Closes his mind as it has been an exhausting experience. so many emotions...::
Amb_McKitrick says:
CSO/CO/XO: You will be supplied with some information that should make infiltration a bit easier....   
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CSO: never stopped me or has it, Lieutenant 
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Lieutenant, you are not here to question orders from Starfleet Command... so please contain yourself...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the ambassador::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CSO: That will be dealt with in time, Lieutenant, I assure you of that. ::He smiles and nods to Black:: CO: Captain, your crew will be granted two days leave while repairs are conducted...we make way for Airilius as soon as possible.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
CO: Captain, with all due respect, I’m merely trying to point out gaping errors in judgment and ask for them to give us more information. I was given a single PADD with one paragraph on the Subspace sensor changes made to the Scimitar, Captain, I wont have that happening with this mission when they promise "information"
Amb_McKitrick says:
CO: No No Captain...   The Skepticism is necessary....  This is dangerous stuff...   I would never have sent my crew in to something like that without some reassurance.  
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I'll need about 5 specialist to get in that base and about a Battalion for Back up, sir
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Self: mmmm shore leave, must see how my brother's getting on in his new assignment.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
FCO: is that all :;smiles amused ::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Self: Shore leave. now i can pick up Bluebeard.. I'm sure he missed me
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CIV: Well a brigade would be better with sufficient  air cover
Amb_McKitrick says:
::stands::  ALL: This Meeting is Classified Top Secret....   
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
AMB/CO: I'm sure we can come up with a plan, Captain - you always seem to...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Amb: Of course it is...  CSO: I think you heard me the first time....
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::laughs:; FCO: well you have to days to think about it and two days to keep me amused it seems ::grins::
Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
Summary - ...and so their next assignment begins, just as their last one ends. What happened to their taskforce, and will they find the answers they seek on Airilius?

It is a dangerous assignment, and one filled with incalculable variables...but the crew of the Scimitar is sure to overcome each challenge placed before them - right?
