Posted by Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone (CO) in Main Sim - To Boldly Go - Mission Briefing
[snip]Drudoc turned back from her quiet thoughts to address her assembled staff. “..Alright everyone let’s take seats we got a busy briefing to get through and given its nature I want everyone to be able to prep your departments ahead of our launch..” She said.

Kara picked her cup up and dutifully retook her seat, turning her attention to the Captain. She was relieved that she wasn’t the only new face at the table, there was nothing worse than being the only newbie.

Allison followed Kara back to the table and slid back into her seat next to her. She did feel slightly more alert as she sipped the highly caffeinated beverage, but the chair was awfully comfortable. She shook herself slightly, twinging with embarrassment that she might have to struggle to stay awake at this highly important briefing.

As everyone took their seat Drudoc went to the head of the table pressing a button on the table to have the holo projection unit in the middle light up with a galactic map. Highlighted were the spheres of influence of known races to the Federation for the Beta Quadrant much though was still blank in explored areas. “..This as you can all see is the known and unknown regions for the Beta Quadrant over the past 200 years all known species in its area have probed its depths. For us that same mission is renewed today, we’re to be assigned at least a years long mission of exploration, discovery, and if needed first contact with any warp capable species we encounter. Along the way we will be out of regular contact with Starfleet and its support so as such we need to be on our toes more so than usual..” She said letting things sink in a moment.
Kara gulped as she heard the details of their mission. She hadn’t had much time to prepare for this assignment and although she knew it was a long mission, somehow hearing it spoken out loud seemed to make it feel so much longer. Her thoughts drifted briefly to home and not seeing her adoptive family for probably over a year but she put it behind her as she thought of the excitement of meeting new species, the scientific wonders she could discover and the new friends she was already making.
”..Our first target system is called UES-1229 a deep space probe passed by there showing at least one habitable world. We’re to check the system out then complete a full survey for Exploration Command back on Earth..” She said. “..Our orders are flexible enough for me to make decisions in the moment. Questions?” She asked.

Kara thought for a moment. “Do we know how detailed the scans were Captain? Did they detect any signs of life or was it just a basic composition scan?” she asked, a little nervous to be the first one to speak.
Lt Kara (CSO)
”..Scans from the deep space probe were minimal just enough to get a target the system for follow up surveys and get its general layout or hazards. The rest will be up to us..” She said.
Allison listened attentively to the mission briefing, the caffeine finally hitting her system to help her perk up a little. She had been about to open her mouth to ask a very similar question as the CSO’s, but quickly shut it and then listened carefully for the CO’s response, her black eyes inquisitive. She felt a little uncertain about being such a new COS on such a long mission, but she supposed that she would be much more seasoned when they returned, at least.

“Do we know of any non Federation factions that are venturing out this way?” Tenzing asked once the Captain finished speaking. “I wouldn’t want to run into any Klingons or Romulans so far away from home.” The Lieutenant Commander added.
