A few weeks after the Wolverine arrived at Starbase 277, Commander Morris vanished off onto the Starbase for a few hours, leaving the XO in charge. This in of itself was not particularly odd, as he’d been involved in several meetings, briefings, and social events since taking command while the ship was in dock - the unusual bit was that he returned walking to the left of a salt-and-pepper haired man with Rear Admiral’s pips and the gold piping of flag officers, both of their faces somewhat grave as they talked in subdued tones. Upon the pair’s arrival to Deck 1, they crossed immediately to the conference room, the door closing behind them before most anyone had registered their appearance. A moment later, an announcement went out to each of the senior officers: =/\= “Senior Staff, please report to the conference room.” =/\=
