In the middle of the night, a communicator begins to chime.....

– GM Amadeus

OOC: Bump - welcome back

OOC: This is the one I meant from the briefing thread.

The chiming sound becomes more insistent......

– GM Amadeus

Hammond’s eyes flickered open, Kilo’s eyes now staring him down, apparently she was not happy that the chime had dissruped her sleep and he was not answering. “Ok girl” he said. =^= “Hammond” =^= he said letting out a tired yawn.

Similar to a scene that played a mere five minutes ago in the Captain’s quarters the on duty comm officer’s voice sounded. The poor kid sounded like he was one more call from just giving up from the cavalcade of pissed off brass that had been demanding things in the last 15 minutes. “Sir, there’s a priority 1, urgent visual communication from Marine Command for you. A Major General Derringer.”

That name didn’t immediately ring out for Jaxon, his direct superior was a Brigadeer but after a few moments it popped in Jax’s sleep addled mind. Derringer was his boss’s boss’s boss…MARQUADCOM (Marine Quadrant Commander).

Hammond stood up and moved to his desk putting on a robe, he thank the coms officer and brought it up on screen,. “General Derringer, how may I assist you sir?” he asked

Derringer sat behind his desk, there was an intensity to him. Jax could see behind the General and looking out of the window in the General’s office there was another man, dressed in a a demure civilian suit.

“I appreciate the fact that it’s in the middle of the night Colonel. So I’ll get right to it. Shortly you will be called to standby as the Chimera is deployed as a QRF (OOC:quick reaction force) One of the worlds in the Orion sector has gotten into its head to burn itself to the ground and throw anything even remotely Federation looking into a jail cell. While this is a crying shame, it does happen from time to time and there are established protocols for such things.”

“The native population is up in arms about among other things the Star-Fleet Medical research facility that’s been operating since Scallax joined the Federation. They’ve been increasingly disgruntled about the fact that we won’t let them into an active medical facility without the proper training and clearance. Claiming that we’re experimenting on them in secret. Now a certain level of delusional paranoia is to be expected and while loosing a research facility isn’t normally a problem even if its highly inconvenient.” and Derringer paused for a moment as he glanced over at the man by the window for a moment. “Except for the fact that Scallax co-incidentally does happen to be the location of a Special Projects Division.”

Before Jaxon could even ask the General held up his hand. “I have been assured....” and the General almost glared at the man by the window “....that the research being done on Scallax had nothing to do with the Scallaxians themselves. This is just an unfortunate co-incidence. Still, while irritating we’d normally send in a special operations team and simply recover all sensitive materials and assets. Only for the fact that Fleet Command has got itself in a twist over some Admiralty brats that were on-world at the time and are about to massively over-react by sending in a subjugation fleet, which completely eliminates any possibility of a SOT.”

Derringer paused for a moment before continuing. “Your orders are to secure everything and anyone to do with the Special Projects Division. If that is not possible you are to eliminate all records of its existence. That is your only objective. Only once that has been completed, you may support any Fleet action regarding Scallax. Questions?”

Derringer waited for the Colonel’s response

<response>

“Suffice it to say, this is a highly classified need to know operation Colonel. The research being done on Scallax pertains to a vital research project critical to the entire Marine Corps. You may not reveal this tasking to anyone unless it becomes vital for the completion of your mission.”
