<<Conference Room, 1600, Day 20>>
Isabel looked around at the gathered officers, noting that everyone was finally there. Petra, of course, had made a rather interesting entrance. This of course didn't seem to have been taken too well by P'ayanna, from the look on her face. Ah well, time to begin. "Ensign Mavose, please take a seat and we'll begin."
The young trill nodded enthusiastically and took a seat.
"For those of you who just walked in, please pick up a PADD," Isabel said, pointing to the unclaimed PADDs sitting on the table, "They contain some of the basic information we'll be going over in this meeting, although I believe some of you have information to add."
She paused, waiting for the rest of the PADDs to get dispersed. "Most of you have already heard this, but I'll say it again. Going on the Away Team to retrieve High Council Member Trelin(NPC) will be Cadet P'ayanna, Commander Hunt, Lieutenant JG Grayson, Lieutenant Commander Darkhelm, and a few selected Security Officers at Cadet P'ayanna's discretion. At this point, the Away Team is scheduled to leave at 1800 hours, although that can be changed if more time for preparation is needed. We will be talking with the So'Kra and To'Ma leaders about beaming them up here, along with a negotiator - Warrant Officer Tekel Orsad - for the negotiations tomorrow at 0900 hours. Myself, Ensign Navdante, and Ensign Mavose will be involved with the negotiations. Preparations will begin at 0800. That should hopefully give the Away Team ample time to retrieve Trelin."
Isabel took a sip of her water, sitting on the table. These long speeches sure could make her mouth dry. Oh well. Most of the Officers looked somewhat thoughtful about what she'd said, and some were still calmly waiting for more information. "During this meeting, I'd like to hear from Ensign Mavose about the results of her scans, Lieutenant JG Grayson about any further intel he's acquired, and then any of the rest of you as the need arises based on what's already been said. It may be that after we hear the latest Science and Intel further preparations will have to be made, in whichcase I'd like to hear about what steps we can take to ensure we are successful in our efforts."
Another final glance around the room told Isabel who was representing the various departments - Commander Hunt and herself for Command, Lieutenant Abubakar for Flight Control, Ensign Tamlin (NPC) for Communications since Ensign Kai was in Sickbay, Lieutenant JG Grayson for Intelligence, Lieutenant Barrett for Operations, Lieutenant Thundera and Cadet P'ayanna for Security/Tactical, Lieutenant JG Breland (NPC) for Engineering due to Ensign Harrison being sent to Sickbay, Ensign Mavose and Ensign Riker for Science, Lieutenant Commander Darkhelm for Medical, and Ensign Navdante for Counseling.
"I'd like to say a few things about what will be going on during the Negotiations, then we'll move on to Ensign Mavose's information, followed by Lieutenant JG Grayson's. Negotiations will be taking place in this conference room. I would like two Security Officers stationed outside this door, and one inside, in case anyone decides to try something. Commander Hunt, assuming the Away Team is back in time, which I would hope is the case, I'd also like you present at the meeting, as well as Lieutenant JG Grayson. During the negotiations, Lieutenant Thundera will have the bridge, and Ensign Riker, I want you at the Science station, doing continual scanning," she said.
"Not a problem Captain," Paul replied.
Isabel nodded. "Another important thing I want happening during the Away Mission - Ensign Tamlin, you and Ensign Kai will be monitoring all channels. I want one of you staying in contact in with the Away Team, and the other to be monitoring other communications so we hopefully can get a heads up about other things."
Ryan looked up at her, "Well, that'd be fine, but Ensign Kai's still in Sickbay from that last attack..."
Grinning, Isabel responded, "Actually Mr. Tamlin, your Chief Communications Officer should be released within an hour. I'll make sure she gets the information."
Petra spoke up then, "Oh! Captain! I could tell her about it!! I was going to go see her after the meeting anyway, so I can just tell her when I go." The eager young officer smiled.
"Very well, you may tell her. Also make sure she gets a PADD with all the information on it, and give her a thorough briefing on this meeting, along with the instructions to contact me with any questions, alright?"
"Sure! No problem, I'll take care of it," Petra said, nearly bouncing in her seat.
Isabel shook her head slightly at the enthusiasm of her Chief Science Officer. Then again, it was probably better to have an enthusiastic officer rather than one that didn't want to do their job. "Alright, Ensign Mavose, why don't you go ahead and give us your report?"
OFF: Tag Mavose, crew. Mavose should be writing a post pretty soon or today at least, the rest of you are more than welcome to post your thoughts, or interject a question - I should be checking the forums *fairly* regularly today, so I could post a response. If you have any questions, let me know.
