[ON]

Fleet Captain Somers gathered her Padds together "Computer open channel Station-wide" she said and the computer bleeped when it was done =/\= Captain Somers to all Tomcat crew report to Starbase Briefing Room Number One immediately, the new mission has been assigned, Somers out =/\= she finished and headed to the Briefing Room.

- Briefing Room -

Entering the room she took her seat at the head of the table to her right, where Dodd would be seated, now she sat down and read her Padds while she waited for the crew to assemble in this room.

With their honeymoon over it didn’t take long for Lamia to head from Starbase quarters to the briefing room. Walking in she was surprised to see that she was the first to arrive besides Jasmine Somers. “Good Morning Captain” she smiled warmly.

The door slid open and Mazal stepped inside, taking a bit of a breath. She could feel the darned butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. This was her first briefing as the Second Officer. She went to get herself some tea, before taking a seat. Once settled she looked over at both Mia as well as Jasmine. "Hello." giving a slight smile, then took a sip of her tea.

"Hi Captain, you settling into your new Role?" Somers asked Falk

"May take a little bit of time to adjust." giving a slight smile. "I'll adjust though."

"Whoa, I thought I was going to be at least the third one in the room," Dodd stated as he stepped into the room. "Nice to see all my favourite people." He made his way to the seat next to the captain with his PADDS and a small duffel of items confiscated from their last trip to Arth.

"Lamia, I trust you are recovered from your wonderful honeymoon....and Falk, I am looking forward to having you as my right hand on this mission," Dodd stated. "Captain, I trust you have been brought up to speed about the last mission details and here is a small number of items we confiscated from the technology that was beyond the natives of Arth. I wanted the crew to be aware of what to look for as I am sure that maybe they have adapted by now and may be aware we will be coming back."

Lamia smiled warmly as she looked towards Dodd, he wasn’t just her senior officer he was also her closest friend. “I had a wonderful honeymoon thank you. I’m all ready for whatever awaits us.”

*Looks at Dodd* "Oh, yes but I will not be giving the briefing after a few niceties you will be giving the Mission Briefing Commander Dodd" Somers said with a smile.

"I understand ma'am. I will try to make good on this go around at Arth so we don't have to go back anytime soon." Dodd replied.

Patrick made his way to the meeting room. He couldn't help but let a small smile slip onto his face after the doors parted and he saw his crewmates. It had been a while since he had been in a briefing and was still recovering but very glad to get back on duty of any kind. He walked through the doors and greeted the room. "Captain's, Commander, Lieutenant. " He said with a nod and made his way over to Mazal. He sat down on the opposite side as he usually does, making sure Mazal was closer to the head of the table.

"Hello, Captain Jackson." her smile broadening when he arrived.

Paul had been heading towards the Knight's cafe to get a coffee when he heard the call and headed straight to the meeting room, he wondered what the mission was this time and if he would be involved on the ground. He strode through the corridor till he found the room and entered and Said " Hi everyone and thank you for our gifts" as he sat and waited for his wife.

Next through the doors was the ship's blue engineer with a smile on her face to make anyone's day. " Hello everyone hope you are all well." She said as she took her seat. She was feeling nervous though this would be her first mission as the ship's acting chief engineer

Lamia sat for a few moments she’d been dreading it in case her morning sickness kicked in, rising from her seat she walked over to the replicator and ordered herself a ginger tea along with a few biscuits. Returning to her seat she settled down again, she politely ate a couple of biscuits before taking a few sips of her tea, she could only hope it would settle her now complaining stomach.

MCPO Michelle had just finished a workout. She was still in her PT gear and had been heading back to quarters when she heard the message. She changed direction and headed for Briefing Room One in a jog, her towel slung around her shoulders. She slowed to a walk just as she entered the meeting and wiped the sweat from her brow as she took position as far from the commanding officers as she could get. Hopefully, she didn't smell that bad, and the meeting would be fast.

The Captain looked at Michelle "I hope you will be in uniform for the actual Mission Chief?" Somers asked her Security Investigations Officer.

Alexi gave Sommers a small shrug, "It did say to report immediately, Ma'am," She said, "I believe I will have time to don the proper attire as soon as this meeting concludes." She grabbed a water from the replicator and leaned against a back wall to wait and listen.


Dodd observed all that had entered thus far. "Well, I hope this mission will be the one to end our dealings with Arth. Thank you to all who have already arrived. Once everyone has gathered, we will begin."

Thyra just arrived at the station on her Andorian transport. She heard the captain's voice over the com. She sighed as she clutched her duffle bag. oO Right, no welcome back, no how have you been, no get some time to settle back in, just head right back into business. oO Thyra was affected by what happened. She didn't feel like herself. Possibly she had to talk to the counsellor about this when she had some time.

She then made her way to the briefing room. She walked in quietly and took a seat far away from everyone. Starfleet had only spared her a short time to handle business. She felt like she had no time to grieve at all. But she needed to get over it for the mission. And soon it seems.

Thex noted the arrival of the new Andorian. She knew the chief of intelligence was one but she'd not had a chance to meet her. " Hello there. Are you Thyra Sh'shraaqir?" Thex asked as politely as she could. She could tell the other Andorian wasn't feeling right from her body language.

Ok… So Dr. Ross was fifty-five minutes away from surgery. He had a planned cataract removal from Dr. Wynne’s left eye and a gall bladder removal for Lieutenant JG Halford. The laboratory reports and diagnostic imaging sent Dr Gavin Ross his reports on his few pads with him. Withdrawing a seat from the conference table, Hewitt put on his pair of glasses and checked his silver wristwatch for the time. These were transferred overflow patients from the main base.

The Sickbay would be his in a matter of moments. He was overjoyed to be part of this mission and the acting Chief of Medical at the grade of Ensign of a Sovereign vessel. This didn’t go to his head. He had the hutzpah, knowledge, and knack to arrange the beds for work.

“Dr. Ross. Good morning.” He spoke under the murmur of the others talking and waiting for Lt. Commander Dodd and Captain Somers at the other end of the table.

Taking a seat at the table, Gavin eyed everyone at their seats. This was a new vessel for him—a Sovereign Class vessel. The Themiostacles, he was happy for himself and happy to be here with this crew he was about to know.

Just as Ensign Ross took his seat, Deputy Chief Engineer Todd Hewitt scratched himself right into a conference chair at the very end of the table. Everyone was sitting, and he was scared out of his mind. Todd needed to get there and get to business! However, Hewitt had to impress his new Chief of Engineering, Lieutenant JG Thex sh'Zoarhi.

“Hello Thex.” He leaned into the table and eyed her, the Andorran. There she was! That is her! “H-E-Y. C-H-I-E-F.” The words mouthed silently.

Thex turned when she heard someone addressing her. " Hello there." She said her mind noting it was Hewitt the ship's computer systems specialist. She'd seen him around the ship but never had a chance to talk to him. " Hello there Hewitt. How was your shore leave?" She enquired.

“It was well, Thank you!” Hewitt made it extremely short as they were at the main conference table, and the attention would be afforded to the Captain and Lt. Commander soon.

Walking into the Briefing room, Connor immediately made his way over to stand against the wall behind Captain Falk as he felt it was the appropriate position of an NCO while in a room full of officers. While he had more field experience than most of the junior officers, regs are regs so he left the chairs for the officers to occupy.

Serina entered finally with two mugs of coffee for both herself and her husband. Making her way to Paul, she handed him his and she said, "I want to thank you all for all the wonderful gifts. They were lovely", and sat next to him.

Faith gave a glance up a moment at the voice. Taking a second to finish up what she was doing before heading that way. Stepping in quietly.

In the Base's hangar bay, the feckless blonde pilot was busy chatting up a cute Marine, so the Captain's voice over the COMMs wasn't a welcome sound at ALL. With a deep suffering sigh, she smiled at her friend. "Duty calls," she said, heading out to the Corridor to the turbolift, and finally to the conference room. Why did SHE have to be here? She wasn't a department head! Walking into the room, carrying the remainder of her iced cucumber water, she took a seat. "Hello, everyone," she said loudly. Maggie was friendly-sometimes annoyingly so.

"Hello," Falk responded to Maggie and also acknowledged Connor's arrival as well with a smile.

The Captain Looked up and saw Sergeant Sharpe standing behind Captain Falk oO he is not Paul Oo she thought to herself remembering that her cousin was married to Lieutenant Commander Paul Sharpe. "Sergeant Sharpe please have a seat" Somers said to the Rifleman.

Looking over at Captain Somers, Connor was tempted to argue his point as to why he was standing, he chose not to push his luck so soon after starting his new assignment. "yes Captain" he said a he gave a simple nod in response before taking the closest empty seat to his CO.

She gave him a nod and smile then turned to her First Officer "Okay Remy before we start this briefing I will want to say some things to the crew, but remember when you begin your briefing most of the officers here went through Arth the first time, but start with a short recap on what happened last time, for the new members then move onto the mission brief" she said quietly to him.
