Scene: Conference Room, USS HOOD | |||
"Captain on the deck!" | |||
As one, the HOOD's senior staff jumped to their feet. Inwardly, Steele felt a | |||
twinge of awe at the responsibility this simple act represented. It brought a | |||
sense of "Oh crap, I really have to make this work or people die and the're | |||
looking to me for direction." In that sobering light, the glory attached to | |||
Captain's rank didn't seem all that important as it once did when he'd been a | |||
junior officer. | |||
Forcing doubt out of his mind, Steele went straight to his chair. | |||
"Have a seat everyone. This will be quick." | |||
He made a brief measuring survey of the faces at the table. Everyone seemed to | |||
understand something serious was going down. He didn't disappoint them. | |||
"Outposts 5, 6, and 7 along the farthest end of the Klingon Neutral Zone just | |||
went silent. All within the last 48 hours." He heard a tiny gasp from | |||
ARr’Rhiana Hemux and Powers. Half of room traded astonished glances. Steele | |||
raised his voice in urgency. "We have confirmation that Outpost 7 was attacked | |||
by an unknown vessel. No word as yet on numbers 5 and 6 but we are assuming the | |||
same happened there." | |||
"Damn Klingons," DeSimms muttered. The comment drew murmurs of agreement. | |||
"Probably," Steele concurred. "We're going to conduct search and rescue | |||
beginning at Outpost 7. It's first on the road to Outpost 8 which is hollering | |||
for some company. At each post along the way, LT ARr'Rahiana will scan for | |||
evidence of whomever did this." | |||
Steele took a breath. | |||
"We're not at war yet, but we could very well be soon. Expect a fight. So, | |||
while we're en route, I want all departments participating in the mass cal and | |||
boarding party action drills Doc Corbett, DeSimms, and Merrick will be running. | |||
Questions?" | |||
NRPG: Everyone feel free to jump in on the fun with the drills. Post on that | |||
will be forthcoming later today. | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
