OOC: This thread takes place inline with the Sickbay Thread at https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf8/viking/notes/4844/ - I would very much like all senior staff to take part in this.

IC: After attending sickbay to be informed of the CO’s medical status Nevin had headed to the Observation Lounge. He stood looking out through the large window at the stars streaking by. He could not help wondering if he was going to loose another CO. Certainly doing so would not speak well of his abilities as an XO or as a medical professional. He sincerely hoped the Captain would be back on her feet again soon. If not it would almost certainly end his career aspirations of a ship of his own. Since become XO of the Viking he had been turned down his own ship twice. The Forrester which he had been expecting to take over had been handed to one of his Academy friends who had CO experience already. The second was the Viking herself. After the unexplained dissapearance of the previous CO, he had assumed command for almost 9 weeks before Ravenfall had been appointed.

He studied the stars in a pensive mood. He glanced down at the padd in his right hand and began to type a message.

It read:
‘To All Senior Staff,
Please reported to Oberservation Lounge at 06:30 for briefing.
Many Thanks,
Commander Akorem’

He looked at the message for a moment. it was currently just after 06:00. He messaged an instruction to the galley before adding to his message:

‘PS. Breakfast will be available.’

He tossed the Padd onto the table. it clattered as it slid to a halt in it’s intended position at the head of the table. After another 15 minutes of staring into space lost in his thoughts, Nevin used the window to look at his reflection and attempted to tidy his hair with his hands. Due to staff rotations he had not yet met all of the senior staff. He headed to the table to check all of the pronunciations of the CSO’s name trying to work out if it was pronounce ‘Sanks’ or ‘Sanecks’

Five minutes before the briefing was due to start, the chime to the door rang. That would be the galley staff. Only they would ring the chime and wait for permission to enter.

“Come in,” Nevin said. The door opened and they brought a selection of continental breakfast selection consisting of a range of pastries, toast, fruit wich they placed on the table along side steaming pots of tea, coffee & hot chocolate.

The strong aroma’s were starting to fill the room…

Immediately behind them came the smiling face of the CSO, carrying a tray of utensils and napkins. “Apologies, Commander. Their hands were full.” and he walked the tray over and sat it down near the food. “I don’t believe we have had the pleasure, Sir. Lieutenant Sanx” he said, pronouncing the name like ‘Sanks’ , and extending his hand.

Lt. Sanx, CSO

Next to enter was the comically large Intelligence officer. He held a metal cup of Coffee and was reading his daily Intelligence briefing. He entered the room and looked up from the PaDD “Commander” He nodded to the XO and took a seat before looking at the Denobulan “Lieutenant Sannx” There was an accented pronunciation, the first notible example of the Icelandic accent he apparantly had.
