A week had passed since the Saracen had left the site of the destruction of the Bhari, heading towards Meridian Station for a little R&R and resupply, as well as a crew rotation. In that time, Captain Knight and Commander Colter had gone over the events of the last mission and filed their reports and recommendations to Starfleet HQ.

All that was left, was the post-mission meeting with each departments staff. For this, Dante had decided to use the War Room adjacent to the Bridge. It was both more spacious and had a bigger view port than the Captains Ready Room, and, as one of its’ uses was as a Senior Officer briefing room, wasn’t used enough.

Sitting at the desk with the ever present cup of coffee in one hand, Dante awaited the arrival of some members of the Science team that had been summoned to this meeting, namely, the Chief Science Officer Lt Commander Teller Graham and Ensign Tobias Rax. Looking over at Colter as they waited, Dante dropped the cup from his lips for a moment.

“Hey we never actually managed to take that trip to Earth to visit your ranch. We need to actually do that some time.”

“Yeah, well, some things got in the way. . . . I was actually asking Hannah to. . . .never mind, she’s moved on”

DaVinci took a sip of his coffee and continued. “Whenever you’re ready, skip. Just say the word and I’ll let the staff know to get ready for some visitors.”

Tobias hadn’t anticipated being included in the science debrief directly with the Captain. As a junior officer, he had assumed that his reports and the department head’s debrief would suffice. The prospect of facing the Captain directly heightened his anxiety yet again, adding another layer of pressure to the situation.

Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Tobias approached the door and pressed the chime. He hoped fervently that he wasn’t the first to arrive, nor the last, allowing him to slip in and blend seamlessly into the proceedings.

“Still talking about the Wyoming trip,” Teller asked walking into the room and overhearing the conversation. “You know I am in but do we have a date this time?” His comment was jovial enough given that each time they had planned it work had been interrupted causing it to be postponed.

DaVinci groaned a bit at Teller’s comment.

“Yeah, that was my fault, Commander. I swear Starfleet Intelligence is keeping me away from Earth for a reason. I don’t know why, but it might have something to do with the fact that last time we were there, I replaced a warehouse of real beer, with replicated stuff..”

“See that is your problem. If you have come to a scientist,” he glanced around before touching his chest and making a Oh what that is me we are looking for expression on his face, “you would not have been caught. I am a wiz in chemistry and brewing is nothing but chemistry. We could have altered the formula just enough that it would have imitated flat beer and you would have gotten away with it.” The ribbing and banter were all light-hearted. Graham liked the XO. It was hard not to.
