Posted by Captain Ciaran Donoghuei (Commanding Officer) in Main Sim - Captain’s Ready Room

Ciaran had arrived back on the Ark Angel and was ready to get everyone ready to go with this new mission. He then tapped his comm badge and said =/\=All Command staff and Department heads please report to the Captain’s ready room. I have some announcements along with some information about the Ark Angel moving forward.=/\= After doing this, he went ahead and went into the Ready Room and went and sat down. He had his POADD ready and uploaded all the data to the main ship’s computer along with a number of PADDs for everyone. He then grabbed the PADDs for all the folks who should be in the meeting and sat them on the table in front of the chairs. He expected 5 other folks showing up for the meeting so he had 5 PADDs sitting in front of chairs in the ready room. He waited for everyone to gather.

T’Shura had been on the bridge familiarizing herself with the stations and the officers manning them when the Captain’s order came over the comm so she did have far to go. She entered the room and nodded to Donoghuei before making her way down the long side of the table to the chair at his immediate right. She stopped and said simply, “Captain.” She waited to the response to her greeting before she would sit.

Ciaran saw T’Shura walking in and nodded as she walked in. He responded, “Commander, thank you for joining. It looks like you are the first crew member to arrive. Please sit down and review the PADD on the table.” He then continued reading through the PADD a second time just to confirm he understands everything and was ready to address the senior staff when the meeting started.

T’Mor was a few minutes later than the Commander, having come from the science labs. She entered, gave a nod and acknowledged both of her superiors,

“Captain, Commander,”

Then took a seat at one of the chairs toward the farther side of the table. Noticing the PaDD she, took it in hand and quietly read the briefing to herself.

“Thank you, Captain.”T’Shura said as she slid gracefully into the chair and picked up the Padd, which she thumbed on and began to read the information about the upcoming mission. She nodded to T’Mor as the other Vulcan woman took a seat at the table as well.

Kyle arrived at the CO’s ready room several minutes later, “Sorry I’m late, just running a couple of intrusion drills.” The young Englishman clocked the new Vulcan XO and grinned, “Commander, I’m not sure we’ve met yet, Lieutenant Kyle Anders. Chief of Security.”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

T’Shura nodded her in acknowledgment to the COS. “Lieutenant.”

Ciaran saw Lt Andres walk in and said, “Lt Anders, you are not late. Just take a seat and take a look at the PADD for some initial details for our upcoming mission. You are not the last person to arrive so you are fine.” He then continued looking at the details of the mission he was provided and continued waiting on the computer to provide details about what he had tried to compile in order to potentially get data which was not provided about the transport.

The Lieutenant arrived and entered. “Sorry, I’m late as well. Just had to get my Junior Officer to work in engineering and get some of the tasks I’ve assigned to him to get completed.” Becket said as he sat down.

OOC: If anyone has any questions of prodding for their PaDDs let me know. This previous post is a good reference! https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf1/arkangel/posts/259388/

IC: The Ark Angel’s computer updated all of the PaDDs with information about the mission. Mission Specialist Owen Carpenter was the civilian in charge of the colony mission, though Star-Fleet was in command of the initial mission given the dangers.

Location was key - there were two candidate systems in the Morvalian Corridor ideal for a comm array with local support given the frequent ion storms. Epsilon Bekarra III-a and III-d were two Class-M moons above their gas giant, though radiation would be a particular concern to check for. Two light-years away in the Corridor was Epsilon Ghez VI, a seemingly Earth-like class-m world that seemed to be a great candidate other than an expected 1.25g. The Ark Angel with its 300 pioneer colonists will construct the initial colony, three Federation transports a few months behind will deliver thousands in an expansion once the infrastructure is in place for them.

One or all of the sites would need to be surveyed for colony suitability including for agricultural potential, diseases and toxins, looking for any potential of intelligent life already on the planet. Any site would need to be secured from dangerous surroundings if present. The initial construction of the colony would need help, and the comm relay would need to be deployed in the system.
