The cloaking exercises had gone well. As Dawson had determined, the Chernov would be “slightly” detectable while shooting within a cloaked position. It was still better than expected. With any luck, they wouldn’t need to use their shooting capabilities within Klingon space. The cloaking tech was modern Romulan, and the Klingons, as far as the Federation understood, did not have enough tech to being able to detect it.

The plan was now to leave Federation space and move towards Klingon space. For Kastarak, it would be the second time he’d go into Klingon space with the Chernov. He did not look forward to it, but his mission was his mission, and he was a man true to his word. The briefing today took place just after the Constitution had left them, taking Lovejoy too. As such, Lovejoy would not be on this mission.

Kastarak made the final touches to the presentation that he would hold. It was a few minutes before the scheduled briefing time. He glanced quickly at the time. All was ready. Pots of tea and coffee and caraffes of water were on the table along with glasses and cups and saucers.

He straightened his uniform, stood up, and waited for his colleagues to come.

First Officer and Navigations Officer

Pawl got the news that Miss Lovejoy would not be around to help on this mission, and he was a bit upset by this. But he kept calm and quiet as he did his rounds in engineering checking the computers and the bit of a skeleton crew there working calmly and casually. “Ladies and Gents I am off to a meeting. Since most systems are
now on automatic you are free to relax and play cards or just check the odd systems that are not automatic from time to time. Please.” Pawl asked sincerely and politely as he turned and left the main engineering area and headed towards the briefing room.

A short time later Pawl arrived at the briefing room as the door part as he entered. “Hello there Need any help with anything before I take my seat?” PAwl offered as He poured a cup of hot tea as he added a sugar cube or two to his drink and used a spoon to stir it in as it tickled against the cup as he stirred. along with a glass of iced water just in case he needed it. and placed it by his chair. As he grabbed a pastry and donut from the adjacent tray and placed them on a small glass plate with the federation shield that was on the plate face and moved back to his seat and waited calmly just in case.

Symar entered a few minutes behind the Chief Engineer, ‘Commander, Pawl.’

Chris came strolling in looking like he had the bearing of John Wayne. Cool, purposefully and smooth. He was confident and more so than he’s been in awhile. Making his way to the coffee first as usual and poured himself some. Smiling that if any terrorist wanted to catch him, all they’d have to do is put a fresh cup of coffee under a box being held up by a stick and yank it. Once he has his coffee he looked around. “Greetings everyone. Thank you Commander for the coffee and tea. As always you take great care of us. I’ll brief us later after everyone has arrived and after Commander Kastarak, Mr Dawson and Mr Batario speak. Meanwhile unless you have a question not about the mission, you may ask me anything.”. He did not take his seat but stood and enjoyed his coffee. Realizing this he motioned for everyone to take a seat again if the wanted. “Sorry. I’m not sitting down just yet, but you all may. I’ll be getting another cup of joe real soon and I might day Commander Kastarak. You are brewing coffee better and better each time I taste it. Well done.”. As he took another sip.

William followed in after the Captain, nose-deep in a PaDD report, he only had a handful of officers left on the ship in his department, enough to run the ship but the fewest of any of the department heads meaning he spent most of his time reviewing what his team had been up to until this point. He quietly took a seat.
