Chris followed the Captain and the Admiral tip the Captains quarters and waited to go in wondering what was going on.

Commander Chris Taggart XO

Reaching his quarters Stovik led the way in and indicated his desk chair to the Admiral in case he wished to use it. He himself would remain standing. Which he did with his hands held behind his back, wondering if what the Admiral had to tell him was anything like what they had gone through with Loring.

Captain Stovik

Admiral Beymer gestured to a seat, “Captain, Commander why don’t we sit down. Im here to both brief you and accompany you on a new assignment. But I believe this will be the most difficult mission for the both of you personally that you have ever embarked on.” Looking at the Captain, “Captain your about to be asked to do somthing that most Captains would refuse, it’s a sacrifice that I can never before recall happening like this” Looking to the Commander, “Commander, after this meeting your life will never be the same again.”

Stovik raised his eyebrow at that cryptic statement. There were two other chairs near a table area under the viewport. Stovik paused to let Taggart choose his. “That is a profound statement, Admiral. I am here to serve.” He said with a slight bow of respect that was entirely Vulcan.

Chris nodded to the Captain and took the chair furthest away. “I understand Admiral. ” Chris said sitting down. “Just as long as there aren’t any teeth pulling involved. ” While rubbing his jaw. “I’m here to serve Starfleet, Admiral so I’ll do what I can. “

The admiral nodded his head. “As the Captain has already figured out by now the guests that I brought with me were Vulcan. What I am about to brief you is to be classified at the utmost levels.” The Admiral paused and studied the officers “There of course were vulcans that survived the event on vulcan. Those were all off world. Right now the Vulcans are attempting to create a new home world named New Vulcan. Your mission for the forseeable future will be to assist them as best possible.” The admiral shifted slightly.

Stovik listened gravely, none of what the Admiral had just related was unknown to him or unsurprising so he waited quietly to here the unknown part.

“Captain, as you know there are members of star fleet that are Leary of Vulcan. They felt that it would be inappropriate to have a Vulcan command this mission. Command has asked that you step down as Captain, with a full grade reduction to Commander and take the position of XO.” Holding up his hand before the Captain could speak.

Stovik’s eyebrow did raise at that point but he did not interrupt. Why would having a Vulcan as Captain be detrimental was the first thought that came to him and his thoughts immediately looked for the logical reason for that.

“Commander you are hereby relieved of your position as the Executive Officer of this vessel. You will stand fast in the meeting and pay VERY close attention to every detail”

Chris was shocked by that. It just sounded too him that he was now fired and had no place to go. But since the Admiral still told him to stay in a very classified meeting, meant there were other plans involved.

The admiral looked to the Captain for a response to the request.

“Why would having a Vulcan Captain be detrimental in assisting the Vulcans on New Vulcan?” Stovik asked. He wasn’t about to step aside unless the Admiral gave a very compelling reason why. He had no concerns that Taggart couldn’t lead the Chernov as well as he could but he felt that there had to be a more compelling reason as to why they were requesting this.

Captain Stovik

“Very well Admiral. I’ll step aside but I agree with the Captain. I thought we had a great relationship with Vulcan?”
