OOC: I’m going to move things forward a bit. This takes place after the meeting with the Admiral. Edit-changed the ranks slightly.

IC:

Captain Horatio Lionel Von Stephens-Hilderbrand the III gathered his contingent outside the Wolverine. He had been preparing them for this mission, ever since the Admiral had brought news to him that Commodore Oper had been captured. He was a short and stocky man, although you wouldn’t have thought it. As his name suggested he had a big personality. He was middle aged but well built despite this, not letting his age diminish his physique. He had short grey hair and a bushy moustache. He looked around at the marines gathered in front of him and he swelled with pride. He had served with them for more than 10 years, save for the 5 new comers. They’d recently suffered some casualties in a miner skirmish, including his Second in Command. There were 20 marines in total, a Staff Sergeant- also a new comer, a Sergeant and two Corporals. He looked over at his new Second, Lt. Cole Miner he was called. An odd name, Horatio thought but his record was impressive.
“Are we ready to join the Wolverine, Cole?” He asked in his posh English accent.
“Aye Sir.” Cole Miner replied smartly.
Horatio nodded and turned to Staff Sergeant T’Plak- a Vulcan woman. Horatio felt it odd that a Vulcan had joined the Marines but her record spoke volumes and he wasn’t one to judge.
“Organise the Marines for boarding the Wolverine. Myself and Cole will go and meet the Captain.” He stated and T’Plak nodded and arranged the section for boarding while Horatio and Cole moved away and walked over to a crewmember.
“Good day, Captain Horatio Lionel Von Stephens-Hilderbrand the III and Lt. Cole Miner ready for boarding. We’re the marine contingent assigned to the Wolverine. I trust you were expecting us?” He asked waiting to be taken on board to meet the Commander Morris.

“Yes, sir,” the gold-shirted NE standing watch replied, briefly consulting his PADD before motioning the two through. “If you’ll follow Ensign Lactose there,” he motioned to another NE, this one in a red uniform, “she’ll take you up to the ready room to meet with Commander Morris. Is there anything you need before that meeting, sir?”

Horatio nodded to NE Lactose and motioned to Cole to follow him. What an odd name he thought himself, obviously unaware of the oddness of his own name.
“No thank you Ensign, but if you wouldn’t mind seeing my section to their quarters and maybe tacking T’Plak there to see the Chief of Security. There’s a good fellow.” He stated. He then turned to NE Lactose.
“Lead on Lactose!” He exclaimed. Cole stifled a chuckle passing it off as a cough.

“I’ll have that done, sir,” Wickersham replied, calling out instructions to a few others nearby. Lactose nodded in agreement and headed towards the turbolift with the Marines, allowing them to precede her into the lift. “Deck 1,” she ordered, and the lift whisked up, opening onto the bridge. She led the duo across to the ready room, nodding to Commander Claire on her way across, and pressed the chime. “Captain Von Stephens-Hilderbrand and Lieutenant Miner of the Marines to see you, Commander.”

“Come in,” came the reply a moment later, and the door opened.
