“Good afternoon, Captain McBride, thank you for seeing me on such short notice.” Tannenn said with a light smile. as she regarded the taller man, “I hope I didn’t interrupt too much of your schedule?” nothing bothered her as much as interrupting another’s work.

“Not at all. I’m always eager to meet new members of my senior staff, and given everything going on right now, we need to get you situated ASAP,” Jonathan said with a smile and gestured to the chairs at his desk. “Please, Commander, have a seat. I hope your journey here went smoothly? Oed’s a long ways out, so it’s always a toss up.”

Tannenn smiled in relief, as she slid into one of the offered seats. “My pet ferrets did not escape their carrier during the trip, so I consider it a successful journey. In all honesty though everything was fine, thank you for asking.” she regarded him, “I am just glad for the chance and more knowledge. I hear we’re going to be having a gala soon?”

Keen, CFSO

Jonathan nodded. “Oed will be hosting a diplomatic contingent of Vren. If you haven’t heard about them, they are our nearest non-Federation neighbour and in the past there had been raids and attacks. Oed was disputed territory but we hadn’t heard anything from them in years. They’ve reached out the Federation for help due to a climate crisis that is quickly threatening their population. Negotiations and everything will happen here on Oed and this gala is basically the colony’s first contact face-to-face ever. So, high stakes, and a lot of risk. Expect Starfleet Science to be highly involved along with the civilian side in the research and discussions about their situation. And also expect a higher than usual security presence everywhere.”
