OOC: I hope this is okay.

IC: Fraiser was leading his shift when the Priority Message came through. Without an active Chief of Security or Chief Tactical Officer on board, as the next two highest ranking Security Officers with the most experience himself and his fellow junior Lieutenant Officer, Lieutenant Burcham had duties split between them. Of course, Lieutenant Burcham hadn’t saved the Cabernet Minister on Turkana VII from being kidnapped by twelve thugs (selectively indifferent to the fact he wasn’t the only officer on that security detail) and he desperately wished that he could be the one entirely in charge, but orders were orders and Drake wasn’t a bad officer, or a bad guy really. Fraiser just considered himself better.

Handling a Priority case on his own could be a great chance to show off his skills. Since he’d come aboard everything had been duty and fairly routine. He didn’t feel like he’d had a chance yet to really showcase what a great officer he was. Now the opportunity was in his grasp, and he had to share it. It doesn’t matter he told himself, you’re a great officer. He’s lucky he gets to work with you

=^= Lieutenant Flynn to Lieutenant Burcham, A Priority message has just come through for Security and Tactical. I’m planning on going through the files now if you were wanting to come up and we can divide and conquer together.=^=

He stepped forward and began to type in the authorization code he knew would get him into the system and pull up the documents starting with the defensive operations brief.

OOC: More than fine! Welcome to the show! ;) I’ll give your compatriot a chance to respond before I move it forward.

1. Defensive Operations Brief
Classification: Starfleet Intelligence Brief
Confidence: Moderate / operational planning required

Current Understanding

Defensive operations within Karthos Drift should not be approached as conventional ship-to-ship combat. USS Wolverine will be operating covertly, and overtly Starfleet defensive behavior may compromise that cover even when tactically successful.

Security and Tactical personnel should therefore consider defensive responses that preserve the vessel’s freedom of action without unnecessarily escalating an encounter.

Available Defensive Options

Depending upon the circumstances, available options may include:

• Breaking contact
• Changing identity
• Abandoning cover
• Electronic deception
• Decoy probes
• False traffic
• Civilian escorts
• Controlled retreat

No single defensive response is recommended for all encounters. Security and Tactical personnel should develop procedures for determining when concealment, deception, disengagement, or direct action best protects the vessel and mission.

Fraiser read through the information carefully. This would be his first time in a position where he could truly show off his abilities, and he wanted to make sure that he didn’t miss a thing. For the man that spent so much of his time carefully cultivating himself to be perfect, this was the time he genuinely needed to be perfect. The success of the mission and the safety of the Wolverine depended on it.

He made notes as he went, the beginnings of a brainstorm for what the best tactical option would be for maintaining cover and for survival if discovered. He’d add to it and change it as he went.

When he was done, he wrote out the beginning of a skeleton report to the Captain. He wouldn’t make as many adjustments as he went compared to his notes, only the end where he would add his recommended course of action at the end once he had a comfortable idea of what would be the best options for the crew.

As Fraiser wrapped up his notes, the console presented the following screen while awaiting instruction…

SECURITY/TACTICAL ANNEX — FILE SELECTION

Fraiser tapped his finger on the desk thinking about what files he wanted to go through next.

Criminal Methodology was the one that was really singing out to him to open next. It seemed like the options that would give him the best idea of what he would be dealing with in the Karthos Drift. Every method was an action. Every action begins with a thought. Knowing a thought opens up knowledge to the mind and knowing the mind means knowing your enemies. With information on how they operated he’d be able to make his first edit, then as he went through the files he’d make more adjustments, refining his ideas each time.

Making his mind up he pulled the Criminal Methodology file up and began to read.
