Athena had made it back to the Chimera in the last few minutes that was needed and as a result she was the last to arrive for the Senior Staff Briefing. Rojac nodded to Commander Trzetrzelewska, giving her the signal to pass around the files he sent her earlier. "Commander Trzetrzelewska is passing around the notes for our upcoming mission, where we will be subordinate to Commander Ohmsford's command. Commodore Guzman has given him command of this mission because of it's vital diplomatic importance." Athena quietly took a seat just before a padd was handed to her.
The captain continued, "As you see in your briefings, SFI sources tracked a clandestine transmission from the sensor outpost in our last mission to three different locations. The first two led to dead-ends and the last into Erassian Space - where Starfleet vessels have been denied access."
{Interesting..} Athena thought and missed the joke that brought forth a few chuckles. {Co-ordinating with other ships...ohh joy.} Athena sighed realizing she needed to find a better mood.
"Now, on to business..." Rojac said as he took his seat. "We're fresh back from break. How is our ship holding up? Reports?"
Anya seemed to be up first and Athena gave her attention to the other woman. "Fighter munitions have been replenished, maintenance on the fighters is completed and only one minor disciplinary action during shore leave left to action. One of Unity's Heavy Bomber pilots got a little too hands on when chatting up one of my pilots so she knocked him out. I've already put in place a few preparations for the mission ahead as I already received a call from a certain annoyed Ambassador asking me to use my many years of wisdom to prevent a catastrophe but I can get into that in the briefing proper." Anya said noting who looked unamused at her pilot's shore leave antics.
{Good for her} Athena thought about Anya's pilot. Athena's gaze followed the Co and XO's and fell upon someone she hadn't seen before. Evening everyone, I'm Dr Rice, the new Acting Chief Medical Officer," he introduced himself. "Sickbay has seen quite a few new transfers into the department, including myself, but we are ready. We've already started the next round of physical check-ups and things are going smoothly."
{Aahh...new CMO.} Athena lost herself some where in the rest of the reports and was grateful that she didn't seem to be required to give one;most likely due to her late arrival. Her attention was drawn back to the conversation as Anya interrupted give some very pointed suggestions. "Erass System which is a denied territory guarded by the First Fleet who will not hesitate to kill us all if we push into where we don't belong. Our best chance of success lies in negotiating with General Ivanov and the Second Fleet who are currently stationed within the Grand Banks nebula near the Eaglin Straights. Problem is we can't call them to come out we have to go in to them. After we arrive at the new set of coordinates for the entry into the nebula I can get a hold of updated navigation data for the straights through the Grand Banks but it will come at a price." Anya interrupted before the plans could go too far down the wrong path.
{I think I need to be part of this} Athena thought and kept her attention on the conversation. She smirked when it was mentioned that there would be no incidents from this crew. {Good luck with that.} Captain Reese was given an assignment and Lieutenant Kroitzer was order to give assistance. Athena gave a small smile as Tommy was given his two directives and she hoped he wouldn't think the assignments too easy.
Rojac stood and glanced at his chronometer. "The Rapier, Magellan, and Eagle are scheduled to meet us here in half an hour for a quick CO briefing. After that, I want all alpha shift personnel on duty at 0500 tomorrow morning for departure to the Grand Banks for rendezvous at 1100." He pulled down at the edge of his jacket for a moment. "You are dismissed."
Athena let the other file out and when only the CO and XO were left; she approached the duo and firmly requested, "I'd like to be part of the delegation that does the negotiating.?."
