Finn had hurriedly jumped out of bed at the captain’s call. As he was throwing on his uniform he tapped his comm badge =/\= Grady to senior staff: I need everybody assembled in the conference lounge in 20 minutes =/\=

Double checking himself briefly in a mirror to make sure everything was in place he rushed out and grabbed a turbolift down to the CIC deck. He stopped in quickly and approached the officer on duty, who looked up at him, surprised to see the XO this early in the morning.

Finn held up a hand to stop the officer from getting up. “Good morning, sorry to come runnin’ in here like this but we need to get everybody back onboard ASAP. Shore leave is cancelled and all personnel need to be back on the ship in no more than 30 minutes.”

He waited briefly for the officer to acknowledge the order and kick into gear sending out the command to bring the crew back before turning and heading next door to the conference room to await the arrival of the captain and the rest of the senior staff.

Lieutenant Commander Grady - XO
