=/\= What do you mean, ‘You don’t know’? You tell me there is a Diplomatic Advisor coming on board and that I’ll get their file when they arrive, but you can’t even tell me who ‘they’ are? This is not irregular; its ridiculous. =/\=

=/\= Captain, I assure you this is all above board. It is simply a last minute assignment and the bureaucratic documentation has yet to catch up, is all. =/\=

=/\= Right. Once again, logistics seems to fail on the other side of the wormhole. =/\=

=/\= I understand the frustration, Captain. They will arrive within the hour. =/\=

=/\= Well, I hope ‘they’ don’t expect much in the way of a reception. =/\= and Cochrane shut the comms off.

Alex glared at the blank screen and then tapped the comms. =/\= Mr. Creed, Mrs. McKenzie. Meet me 8n Shuttlebay Two. Mrs. McKenzie, your new advisor is arriving. =/\=

Alex stood and walked briskly out of the ready room.
