As Commandant General of the Colonial Customs & Defence Authority, General Calvin Alexander Harris had… for the past three weeks… been insanely busy. Averaging 16 hour days nearly every day of those three weeks had been exhausting, only broken up the past weekend by Molly insisting they take a three day holiday to the newly arrived Holloway Grand Resort & Casino Station. Harris went on to spend close to the entire first day asleep in Molly’s arms, followed by two days of enjoying each others company and avoiding all government related functions. Then he dove right back in. There was the approval of the final designs from the Uniform Board and the issuance of said uniforms to the rather rapidly forming trifecta of the CCDA, assembling the Commandant General Council and selection of the Service Chiefs… a duty Calvin had taken distinct pleasure in doing.

The Council consisted of accomplished veteran leaders hand picked from the ranks of Starfleet, the SFMC, and the Planetary Defense forces of a half dozen member worlds of the Federation. The Colonial Defence Force and the Astro Control Service were, as of yesterday morning, under the leadership of none other than the Dynamic Duo themselves… General Devri Rae Hudson and Admiral Samantha Jean Halloway, respectfully. Those were the two most important of the three services and while the Customs & Immigration Service was being staffed up, they were being manned a bit more from the ground up with admin support from CCDA HQ.

For Calvin, it was now time to meet with more of his counterparts, now that the day-to-day was being addressed. First up, the Head of the OED Police, Commissioner Karlson.

The memo to the OED Police Chief read simply:

Commissioner Karlson,
I know you’re very busy but now that things have calmed down on my end, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind dropping by my office for some coffee and a chat?

Respectfully,
General C.A. Harris, CCDA
Commandant General
CCDA Headquarters
86th Floor, Government Tower

It was a brief memo and Cal sent it with hopes the Commissioner wasn’t too steamed it took him nearly a month to get the man up here.

Harris, CCDA
