=^= All senior staff please report to the Briefing Room, =^= NE Sarrs voice echoed through the ship.

Jason had moved from the bridge to the briefing room, and now sat with his PADD in front of him. He wondered who would be the first to arrive out of Saunders, Prinz, T’Pon, K’vexx and Crystal who made up the balk of the senior staff. With the recent resignation of the CE he wasn’t expecting a representitive from them just yet, but hopefully junior Lieutenant House had the common sense to show up as a representitive for the Medical department. Just encase, he hit his comm badge =^= Commander Argan to Lieutenant House please report to the Briefing room. =^=

With that out of the way he leaned back in his chair. Now all he had to do was wait.

“Lt. Cmdr. Bill Saunders reporting for duty.” Saunders said as he entered the briefing room. He made sure his tactical section was in working order. “So what’s going on?

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

Crystal entered the breading room soon after the call for senior officials were called. Snowflake was close behind her. She looked around the room before taking her place.

“Hey Crystal, how are you? Haven’t seen you or Snowflake in a while. Do you know what’s happening or why we’re here?”

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

Hot on Crystals heals was Esther, the science officer nodded to the other present officers and took her seat at the table next to Saunders. There was a rumour from her Stella Cartography that the course had been changed suddenly. Now the senior staff had been summoned for a briefing, she had to wonder if there was stock in the rumours that the Dauntless had been called on another mission. “There’s a rumour we’ve had to switch courses. I think we’ve got a new mission.” Esther chipped in, “I hope we’re going somewhere exciting I have a paper to write and need something to write it on. If we discover a new nebula or universe than I’m going to have this competition in the bag.”

Lt. Prinz,
CSO

“Well if we are going on a new mission, I better make sure tactical is prepared for anything we may come across. How can we go on a mission with out a captain or the XO? We better contact Star Fleet to find out what we should do.”

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

“Steady your horses there,” Argan spoke up. “That’s what our ranks are for, as 2nd Officer that task falls to me.”

He turned to face the rest of the table, “As for the rest of you, we have indeed switch courses. The formidable Admiral Harrington has informed me that we have a new mission. The U.S.S Apache hasn’t been responding to any hails. Last known contact with the vessal was over a week ago. The ship is currently headed to their last known co-ordinates to see if we can track the ship down.”

“The Captain and the XO already know about this and will rendez-vous with us when they can. We still have some time before we reach the co-ordinates that Admiral Harrington sent, so until then I want to gather as much data about this ship and sector of space as we can.” he handed out a PADD to each officer, containing all the information he had downloaded about the Apache. “I don’t know about you, but I don’t want any surprises.”

Cmdr. Jason Argan, 2O
GM

“Understood sir, My tactical team will be ready for anything.” Saunders said. Saunders looked at the PADD and said, “What was the Apache exploring? This area of space is so far away.

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

“ we are bound to have surprises on a mission like this. It could have Ben anything from a borg Attack to a simple equipment malfunction” crystal said looking at the pad. Her teams were always ready for anything. Snowflake sat up and looked around the room before laying back down again.
Crystal Marine CO

“Let’s see what we’re up against.” Saunders looked for anything suspicious that was downloaded from the Apache onto his PADD.

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

Commander T’Pon arrived late to the party. A chime could be heard in the briefing room, with it very clearly being her.

Commander T’Pon, JAG

“Enter,” Jason commanded the computer. Allowing the door to open so T’Pon could enter.

“I’ll get the roster downloaded from the Apache, maybe we can find what was happening with the crew.”

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical chief

“ perhaps” crystal said. Snowflake moved from his spot the great Commander T’Pon who was at the door. Crystal looked at the door before moving to pent it. “ running behind” she asked with a smile. As the cat pawed are her leg and demanded she acknowledge hi. “ I suggest you say hello to him before he decides you are being rude.” She offered.

“So, what’s happening with the Apache. Do we know anything about the crew or what their mission was?”

Lt. Cmdr. Saunders
Tactical Chief

” not yet” Crystal said.

OOC: Apologies, been busy with work

IC: Just then the PADDs beeped as the information transfer on the Apache was completed.

Information would reveal that the Apache was only a small Memorial-class ship with a crew compliment of 250 headed by Captain Roland Cruise. It’s current mission was a simple patrol cruise of the sector which had been anticipated to be an easy 3mth patrol to give the ship and her crew a brief respite. The sector of space that they had been covering was known for smuggling, but it shouldn’t have been anything a support ship like the Apache couldn’t handle.

GM

OOC: Just wondering if it would be okay for me to join in on this or if this one is more for just the department heads?

-Mike

OOC: I don’t see why not
OOC: The more the merrier I say!

IC: crystal looked down at the pad and frowned. “ well that’s not very helpful but there were on the look out for smugglers that ship is more the capable of handling smugglers.” Crystal said shaking her head.
Crystal marine CO

Jason nodded, “Have there been any smugglers reported near their last co-ordinates?”

Comm Jason Aragon, 2O
GM

“ someone would need to check the reports for that area” crystal said simply.

The typical hiss of the doors could be heard as Max walked in sporting a cup of coffee and looking a bit weathered. He had so much to do, and even less time to do it in. More so to do with the Captain currently engaged in more sensitive matters. He raised the cup in greeting before speaking, “Sorry for being late everyone, just saw this meeting taking place on my PADD, thought I’d come sit in. Hope I didn’t miss much? The Captain is currently indisposed.. so I’ll be filling in.”

Maxwell Saunders

“ Hello commander “ crystal said.
Crystal Marine Co

“Ah, Major Crystal!” He beamed a warm smile after taking a small sip of his coffee. “Good day to you, hopefully you and our Marines are doing well?” He took a moment to look around for her exotic pet that usually was always near by. “Where did uh … Snowflake get off to?” Cautious with his steps as to not accidentally step on a tail he might not have seen, he made his way around the table to an empty spot and set his PaDD and Coffee down to listen.

OOC:
-Friendly bump-

-Mike

That’s when snowflake decided to make an appearance. The large cat appeared right next to the XO and pawed at his arm. Crystal grinned “ I think you found him” she offered. She giggled for a moment the cat’s antics were often enough to make most people smile. “ as for the Marine there fine we will be ready for what ever this mission could throw at us.
Crystal marine CO

“Ah there you are, hello Snowflake!” He gave Snowflake a few quick pets before turning his attention to the meeting. “Please continue, my apologies for interrupting with my abrupt entrance.” He extended his hand forward, gesturing the focus of everything in the room back to the briefer.

“Sir,” Jason acknowledged, “We were discussing what to do about the Apache. Apparently it’s crew hasn’t been in contact for over a week and Command wants us to investigate. Currently all we have is a crew manifest and the approximate patrol route the ship was taking. Did anyone find out about possible smuggling vessels?”

Commander Jason Aragan, 2O

Commander Crystal would find that there had been at least 5 potential smuggling or pirate vessel along the estimated patrol route in the past week. Three of them were smaller vessels. But the other two were slightly larger and could have taken on the Apache if they had teamed up.

GM

OOC:
Bumping for Crystal :)

-Mike

Crystal growled and Snowflake echoed her. ” there has been smuggler activity and if they were working together could have easily taking the Apach” she said after a moment.
Crystal Marine CO

“Hmm..” Max began to scroll through the information himself on his PaDD that was face up on the desk as he slowly rotated his coffee cup reading through it. “It doesn’t appear that these smuggler ships are too well equipped. Commander Aragan, do we have any intel on if these smugglers are working together for an organization or are they just opportunists?” He knew that individually they would pose no threat to the Dauntless, but if all of their ships worked together, it could pose a problem. Though he had faith in the Dauntless and the crew he had been growing with.
