Joe was not given much time to prep anything for the meeting. It was only six hours until arrival at their destination. He had no doubt that their new chief engineer would want to speak with him already for heading off at warp seven before he could even run one diagnostic on anything in his department. But there was precious little Joe could do to keep everyone happy. All he wanted to do was to not have things go amiss like on the last mission.

He looked around the conference room and saw an empty coffee pot. He got the coffee pot start to start brewing a pot of coffee and had the replicator make a batch of donuts. He then went to his cabin to print up the operational plans along with some notes. He got himself a cup of coffee and sat down to go over his notes. Now all he needed was to have his no doubt miffed department heads to show up
