MISSION ORDERS:  You and your team are to rendezvous at Starbase DS9 in the Bajoran system. You are to meet on level 14, rooms 145 and 146 on 10601.30. Commander Janise Remir will complete the briefing. We have received intelligence that the Starfleet Special Operations secret research facility on Bopac is in eminent danger of attack.  Your mission, secure and defend the facility against any attack.  Exact type of threat unknown. Speculations seem to point to a Jem'Hadar attack.  Security of the base is compromised.  Guard base while evacuation procedures commence and until evacuation is complete. The USS T'Khut will be en route but is not estimated to a Replicator Codes will be assigned to you to permit you and your team to get your equipment for this mission.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Doesn’t recognize a single face.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CE:  Long enough to have gained half a pip.  ::smiles::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
ALL:  While we're waiting for Commander Janise Remir to arrive, I'd like us all to take a brief moment to introduce ourselves and where we're from.  I'll start.  I am Commander Sommers from the USS Triton.  I will be serving as your Captain.  ::Looks to Lt. Cerdan to go next.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Looks around the table noticing a few of the faces but many of them are foreign to her.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Antennae stand at attention.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Scans the faces in the group.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Still standing as a Commander enters in an unusual uniform.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Nods to the group.::  All:  Sit.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Sits again.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Commander, we were just getting acquainted.  Would you like us to stop?

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Sits down.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Looks to Commander Sommers and back to this new commander.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Continues to watch the proceedings silently, pulls out a PADD for notes as the briefing officer arrives.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
CO:  Time is of the essence, Commander.  I shall let the acquainted part of the briefing continue at a latter time.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Wonders who is the silent officer, her face seems known but he cannot recall where he has seen her.::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Leans back in his chair and looks at the Prism Commander.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Eyes shift to the new Prism Commander.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Aye, Commander.  You have our full attention.  ::Takes a seat.::  

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Looks over to Commander Remir.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Catches Sam's eye and takes a seat.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Looks around at his new crewmates, a group of officers he'll be serving with for who knows how long.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  You will be going to the Bopac IV Star System  in the Gamma quadrant.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Takes a PADD and begins taking notes.:: 

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Turns her attention toward the Commander once the introductions are ceased.::  Self:  This should be interesting.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Makes notes.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Antennae perk up and he jots down notes.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Sits back and focuses his attention on Commander Remir.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  The runabouts USS Kouchibouguac and the USS Richelieu have been prepped and are ready to depart.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Notes it on her PADD.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Listens; Klingons do not need to take notes.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods, and makes a mental note of who she placed on her shuttle team; CP, LO, CE, SO.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  Bopac IV is a Class L planet.  The research facility is near the equator .

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Gives her full attention to the Commander, listening intently.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
ALL:  The system consists of 7 planets, asteroid belt between the 4th and 5th planets.  Star is class G3V. There is no other life in the system.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Tries to keep his attention on the Commander.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Makes more notes.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Hands out PADDs.::  All:  Here is the roster of the personnel at the facility.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Self:  A “Class L”.  Oh great.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Takes a PADD and opens up the personnel file.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Takes the offered PADD and begins to review it.::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Takes a PADD and passes the set of the down.  Looks down at the PADD.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Takes a PADD and sits it in front of her.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Takes a PADD.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Takes the PADD and looks over it.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Takes the PADD and looks it over.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Takes a PADD and puts it in his pack.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Sits quietly waiting for any further information.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Makes a few mental notes regarding the compliment, not too many personnel.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Takes the PADD and then looks up at the Commander.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Looks over the PADD.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Makes a mental note to look into the background of the personnel of the station.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Accepts a PADD and stashes it after one glance for relevant data.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  Your task is to secure the facility and have them ready for evacuation when the USS T’Khut arrives for you.  Their ETA is probable between 2-3 days after your arrival.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Waits for the appropriate moment to ask what's not given.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Waits quietly to ask questions.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Nods to herself as she absorbs the data.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  All equipment and research must be retrieved.  The research is of course classified and very valuable.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Sir, does this facility have shuttles?

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Self:  That is a lot of equipment and materials that must be brought back.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CP:  Mr. Meadows, save your questions.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Self:  Great, a science mission.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Leans back in his chair but sees a problem.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
Self: Too easy, and the easy way in is always mined.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Soaks up all the details of what is said and starts thinking over things to ask at the appropriate time.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Looks to Commander Sommers for her to begin the obvious.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Shakes head.::  CP:  It does have 2 small class 15  shuttle pods.... not fit for an emergency evacuation of this size.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Is awaiting further orders.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Narrows her eyes, wondering what they aren't being told.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Watches the exchange between a few of the officers, remaining silent for now.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Cmdr. Remir:  I am sure we all have some questions.  I have one myself when you are opening the briefing up for questions.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Her gaze shifts to the Combat Pilot, it seems everyone is eager to learn more.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Notices very unique woman speaking.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  We have intelligence... almost rumors... that there is an attack imminent from Jem’Hadar soldiers.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Looks at Lt. Meadows sternly but doesn't speak.::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Places the PADD on the table.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Self:  Now we're getting the goods.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Looks up at the Diplomat Corps Officer and then back at the Remir.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Sighs quietly, not quite liking the sound of this mission and wishes he was with Millie.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Her eyes drift back toward Remir, wondering what else there is to be learned.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Cmdr. Remir:  I have a question, if you do not mind.  You mentioned about security being compromised on the station in your orders.  Is the station secure already, or will we be physically taking her?

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Raise both eyebrows.::  CO:  The station is secure at this time.  We wish it to remain so.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Self:  That won't be a problem.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods.::  XO:  Did you have a question, Ian?

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  Defend the facility.  All means are permitted to do so.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Raises one hand.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Raises hand.::  Cmdr. Remir:  Excuse me, Commander.  What are the Rules of Engagement?

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Cmdr. Remir:  All means, Sir?

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the words "all means."::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Looks up slowly.::  Cmdr. Remir:  Sir, You haven't mentioned, what kinds of things are they manufacturing here?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Looks curiously at the Commander after hearing his words.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
ALL:  Let's do one at a time, please.  Lieutenant Cerdan, first.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Eyes open widely.::  Self:  Looks like the handbook went out the window.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Shakes head as she hears at all costs again.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
Self: Good thing I packed plenty of ammo.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
All:  The Rules of Engagement are... simple... defend the facility and the lives of the scientists at all costs.... until the T'Khut arrives.  As for the research facility itself... the work there is and will remain classified.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Watches everyone around her, most of them had not been through anything like this before so it was expected that they would be excited.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Gestures with a hand for the crew to wait a moment.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Nods at Remir and is unsurprised by the answer.::  Commander Remir: Thank you, Sir.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Shakes head, not liking the sounds of this at all.. classified research, defending at all costs... this isn't what he joined Starfleet for.  How did he manage to get the attention of such a division of Starfleet?::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Watches the team and the briefing officer silently, waiting and listening to everything.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Listens carefully.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Stands.::  Cmdr. Remir:  Sir!:  I believe we should know if there are things that ...let’s say could be harmful to our crew.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Nods.::  XO:  Understandable Lieutenant.... nevertheless.... classified is just that... classified. 

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Raises hand.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Silently agrees with Lieutenant Cerdan, but she assumes they will find out what they are protecting... one way or another.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Frowns slightly.::  Cmdr. Remir:  Understood, Sir.  ::Takes a seat..::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
IO:  I believe you had a question, Rico?

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
Cmdr. Remir:  You said Jem Hadar, Ma'am?  How sure are we about it?  What is the Dominion saying about this?  And why would the Dominion be interested? 

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Looks over at Rico and hopes he can ask his question soon.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Raises hand again.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Her gaze shifts to the hands in the air.  She shakes her head slightly.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Acknowledges Ens. Quinnis' hand, but puts her hand up to wait for the response.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Makes a mental note to have all the teams’ questions answered if possible.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Self:  I just have one question to ask.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
IO:  Our sources are not from the Dominion... but from a quick burst from certain.... discreet probes in the gamma quadrant.  As to why.... it is their space.... I would want to know.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Nods to the Captain.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
AS:  Ens. Quinnis?

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Cmdr. Remir:  What is the current means of defense at the facility?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Sits and continues to remain silent, knowing that he won't get any answers to the questions he has.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
AS:  None.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Waits for the briefing to finish and begins thinking of operational layouts.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Cmdr. Remir:  So a defense perimeter will need to be established?

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Self:  Well I suppose I better get the question asked.  ::Raises her hand.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
Cmdr. Remir:  May I have a blueprint of the facility, Sir?

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Thinks to self:  Good question, Quinnis.   ::Smiles.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
AS:  The blueprint is in the runabout's computers.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Wonders why in the hell they put a science station in Dominion territory.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
AS:  Ensign, we can work out the tactical details ourselves.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Raises a hand.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
CP:  Go ahead, Lieutenant Meadows.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Begins to run through a few scenarios in her mind.  The team will have their hands full working with the scientists and securing the entire facility.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Begins to get impatient with all these, to her, unnecessary questions.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Takes his seat.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Starts planning a sensory net to get warning of an attack in advance, and ponders on the old saying "the enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions: When you're ready for them and when you're not ready for them"::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Sir I'm worried about room on the runabouts if we do have to evacuate with the equipment.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Does a quick calculation in his head.::  CP:  Lieutenant, were back to logistics again.  I'm sure the Commander doesn't have time for that.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Shakes head.::  CP:  The runabouts will not be able to handle the quantity of equipment they have... that is why the T'Khut is en route.  Have the equipment secured for immediate transport.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Looks toward the Captain for a brief moment and then back toward the Combat Pilot. They would formulate a plan once this briefing was over, there was no real reason to try to with Commander Remir present.::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Question, Sir.  What happens if we can't hold out that long?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Continues to simply sit and observe the rest of the crew.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Begins jotting down defense plans and evacuation plans.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Shifts in her seat.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Continues watching and listening, seeing most of her concerns addressed- one way or another- by the rest of the team.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Is ready to get moving.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Raises his voice.::  CP:  Lieutenant!  Hold your tongue.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Raises both eyebrows.::  CP:  Improvise...   Jaron Thraik, the research administrator, will define the priorities.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Closes her eyes for a moment, trying to clear her thoughts a bit.  She reopens her eyes at the shouting of the XO.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Thinks to herself, damn Ranuck anyway, not sending anyone else with her.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
CP:  We will find a way, Lieutenant.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Eyes narrow onto Combat Pilot for having doubt.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Is a little shocked with Mr. Meadows outburst.::

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Ignores Ian’s comment and listens to Commander Remir’s answer.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Raises hand.::  Cmdr. Remir:  Commander?

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Looks at the IO and waits.::

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::She watches the Combat Pilot, wondering if he really has changed.  She never remembered him doubting his capabilities before.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
Cmdr. Remir:  Are we expected to come back on the runabouts or are they expendable?

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Tries to give Lieutenant Meadows a reassuring look.::

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
IO:  As stated... improvise... if you need them... use them.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
::Looks back to Lieutenant Randolph.::  LO:  Lieutenant?

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Cmdr Remir:  The only question I have is all the equipment that we have to bring back with us, if we have no choice and are discovered with the help of the Combat Engineer, I believe we may be able to keep it from being found until the ship arrives.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
::Shakes his head.::  IO:  Lieutenant Polo, where did all this doubt come from?  No, don't answer that.

Combat Pilot Lieutenant Meadows says:
::Looks over to Ian and back to the commander.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Cmdr. Remir:  I have no problems with getting it out when the ship arrives but if it doesn't we have to make some type of cloak, pardon the word.

Host Commander Janise Remir says:
LO:  The research is essential to Starfleet and MUST be retrieved... we do not divert a Nebula class starship for simple cargo of that you have my assurance.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
XO: Uh?  ::Looks surprised.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Nods in acknowledgement of the Commander.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
::Is waiting to depart.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Waits eagerly for the briefing to end so they can leave.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Continues watching and waiting while the discussion rolls along.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Takes another brief look over the PADD that was handed out..  This is going to be interesting, to say the least.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says:
Cmdr; Remir:  Sir, I'm sure we can handle a routine evacuation.  Don’t let us take any more of your valuable time.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
CO:  Captain, for planning purposes, could I suggest the Assault Specialist accompany us on the USS Richelieu? 

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Cmdr Remir:  Sir, you will have your equipment returned to you.  Of that I am sure.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Cmdr. Remir:  I agree with Lieutenant Cerdan on that.

Diplomat Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Nods in agreement with the Executive Officer.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods to the SO.::  SO/AS:  Ens. Quinnis, you will accompany us on our shuttle.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
CO:  Aye.  ::Nods.::
