"Mr Heywood do you want to run that one by me again? Just exactly why | |||
is the senior security officer not at the senior officer’s briefing as | |||
he was ordered." Zane asked more calmly than he felt. | |||
The security officer seemed a little less sure of the situation. "Lt | |||
Allard asked me to go in his place as part of my training I am to be | |||
graded on how I represent security at the briefing and my presentation | |||
of it at the security briefing tomorrow at oh-eight thirty." | |||
"Did you have any idea of this commander?" Zane asked sure that his | |||
FO would have cleared it with him before authorizing it. | |||
"No sir. I did not." | |||
"Mr. Heywood I realize you’re here because your immediate superior | |||
ordered you to be here. However the senior staff briefing is | |||
specifically for senior officers, hence the name. Would you please go | |||
back to security and inform Mr. Allard that if he is in this briefing in | |||
the next five minutes I will consider him late rather than disobeying | |||
orders." | |||
"Yes sir!" Heywood replied before making a dash. Maril took pity and | |||
called for the arch allowing him to bypass the scenario imposed | |||
distance. The look on the first officer’s face seemed clear that he | |||
would not be as lenient with the CSO as his captain was being. | |||

10 Minutes later.<I> | |||
With all the senior staff and FEYNMAN’s three guests sitting at the oak | |||
table Zane began. "Before the briefing gets underway I’d like to | |||
introduce our guests. They will be remaining on board and will be | |||
participating in the mission to varying degrees." He gestured to the | |||
two temporal officers. ‘First, are Major’s Flint and Stone of the | |||
Federation Temporal Division." That name got everyone’s attention. | |||
"And to my left, Lt. James Cardiff." | |||
He paused before continuing. "The gist of it is this. Even though we | |||
beat the attacker’s back we did not win the battle, the real battle. | |||
Neither did they but they are certainly on the edge of doing so. The | |||
whole thing was a diversion for one action. They wanted the DEFENDER to | |||
fire on them. They needed the massive amounts of energy that DEFENDER | |||
had to trigger their plan. To power a jump back in time." Again the | |||
captain paused to let the magnitude sink in. "They have gone back in | |||
time to disrupt a trial of a Starfleet admiral, their god. If they are | |||
successful then this time-line will end. We are going back in time to | |||
stop them." He gestured to Cardiff. "Lieutenant." All eyes turned to | |||
the older officer for the details. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
There ya go Mike. | |||
All: As you know Time travel is frowned upon in ASR and meeting | |||
anything or anyone having to do with trek canon is even more so (at | |||
least one unit has been disbanded for doing just that). Mike feels we | |||
are up to the challenge and I agree with him. So lets not let him | |||
down…. | |||
Respectfully,<br> | |||
