When the staff would arrive they would find their Romulan Commodore at the head of the briefing table with a stack of PADDs and several isolinear chips for the mission briefing to come.

Drudoc Andone CO / GM CockRoach

Arriving outside the Briefing Room to the right of the Main Bridge, Kyle straightened his uniform, popped a note-taking PaDD under his arm and stepped through the door to see the face of his CO at the head of the table, “Morning Commodore, nice day for another field trip isn’t it?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

”..We shall see Lieutenant Anders..” Drudoc replied.

“Feeling nostalgic, Kyle?” V’alura teased the chief of Security as she moved past him to her seat at the table. Though she seemed her usual self there were small details about her physical appearance that seemed off. Like the presence of barely there dark green bags under her eyes. In fact there was no make-up upon her face at all. Her uniform was dirty at the sleeve ends and perhaps the most obvious was that her hair was not its usual, perfectly curled style but hung in sad, limp curls. “My favorite school field trip ever was in the 9th grade. My biology class took a trip into a nature preserve to study the wild horses and other wild animals. It was the dream field trip for a horse girl.”

Lt Belmont, CSO

“Are they truly wild if they’re stuck on a preserve?” Gavin asked from the corner of the briefing room. The CMO had spent the better part of the week showing the new officers their way around the ship, on top of the massive inventory project they’d just completed and was ready for a day or two off. The young officer now walked away from the wall, grasping a cup of coffee, and found his seat next to the Science Officer.

Gavin took a long sip from his cup and turned back to the CSO and squinted his eyes a bit, then shook his head. “I don’t think you resemble a horse, Lieutenant.” He said, then returned his mouth to the mug.

Stacey CMO

“She didn’t mean- never mind, I didn’t realize you reared horses, V’alura?” Kyle sipped at his own coffee mug, being careful not to burn his lips on the rim.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Sifeda entered the room, much later than she had intended to. She took particular notice to V’alura’s appearance for some reason, but decided not to mention it as she didn’t want to trigger any dramatic or emotional responses from the woman who seemed very prideful about her appearance. Noticing that a couple of the department heads were drinking coffee, she walked to the replicator, requested a cup for herself. Sitting to the Commodore’s right at the table she eyed the PaDDs and the iso chips as she sipped her coffee.

Itri, XO

“Technically they’re feral horses since the modern horse was brought to America by European settlers and the ones that escaped began their own herds in the wild.” She said, answering Gavin’s question before turning to Kyle, “Not reared but I owned two horses growing up. One for riding and the other for rodeo. You’re looking at a champion Junior Rodeo Barrel Racer.” V’alura shot Sifeda a smile as their XO took her seat at the table.

Lt Belmont, CSO

“Do I feel a race on the holodeck coming on?” Kyle grinned.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

She flashed a quck smile at Lieutenant Stacey, then laughed at Anders competivness before saying, “Lieutenant Belmont you are just full of surprises aren’t you? Champion Junior Rodeo Barrel Racer? I think the challenge for you is to tell us what you have not done.”

Itri, XO

“I think I can feel another Bat’leth duel coming on,” Kyle said, flashing a grin at Commander Itri.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Sifeda laughed and shook her head, “Not anytime soon, Anders. My lower back still hasn’t healed from the fall. I am not a young spring chicken anymore and each fall is taking me closer to retirement.” She looked at Stacey, “I will be heading to sickbay to let you assess the damage of my fall. I thought I was going to be fine, but the pain seems to be lingering.”

Itri, XO

Once everyone had settled, Drudoc began the meeting, “..Alright folks lets get settled, Command has deemed us worthy of another assignment. This one hopefully will go more smoothly and be less threatening..” She said.

Inserting an isolinear chip a 3d Holo model of a six planetary system with a unique pair of G type stars on either end of the system popped up. “..This is system J17. An until now unexplored and unclaimed system beyond some survey probes from a decade ago. As you can see it has a quite rare occurrence of a binary star system. But unlike many others where they revolve around each other, in this system they are orbitally opposed and orbit around each other while three of each of the six planets orbit each sun. The inner most pair of planets are both Class M, the other four airless rocks with nothing so far of interest to note..” She said.

OOC: Moscow class Surveyor spec page is found here if you feel the need for reference, https://www.star-fleet.com/core/command/edept/posts/144941/

”..About six months ago the USS Volgograd a Moscow class Surveyor on deep space assignment, picked up a flurry of high band energy emissions emitting from J17. There investigations found a humanoid species on the third planet that had somehow been missed during earlier probe surveys. Scan intercepts called them the Forseth. This species culturally and technologically is just entering an early industrial age of development comprised of six or so nation states world wide. However, by the time the Volgograd had arrived into the systems the energy emissions had vanished. With no further developments of interest they settled into an observing pattern of the Forseth for three weeks before resuming their deep space assignments..” She explained.

Removing the chip she inserted another showing a more recent holo outline of J17. This time the two G type stars were present but the third planet where the Forseth had been seen now was ringed with numerous inter-system space craft and probes. “..Upon the completion of their assignment the Volograd returned to the system less then a week ago, they were stunned to find that the Forseth it seems had rocketed from their early industrial age of development to a late nuclear and space age development. Based on this rapid development they entered a holding pattern to observe further. Two days ago they requested that Starfleet send a diplomatic team as they’re observations showed the Forseth were on the verge of warp travel, but no reasons could be devised on how they were advancing so quickly. Our orders are to relive the Volograd and take up observations, and if needed establish First Contact. We will be provided an Ambassadorial team and full diplomatic clearances on my orders to proceed if I see no issues..” she explained.

”..Secondary to this is to attempt observations of determining how and why the Forseth are developing so rapidly, as no signs of external influence or other sources are in evidence. Nor any other anomalies that would so far explain this.” She went on then looked to each department head, “..Lieutenant Belmont, Hobbes, and Stacey, I want you and your teams to go over what information we so far have on the Forseth and the Volograd’s scans, both for their original arrival and after, also take a look at their deep space survey data, its possible something in the region is effecting them that the crew did not pick up on.” she said then turned to the chief of security, “..Lt Anders I want you to be handling our Ambassadorial team’s needs and security. Ambassadorial Captain Freeman and his eight aides will be arriving within the next hour, be prepared to receive them promptly. I also want you to make a review of all ship’s defenses during our trip to ensure if anything unexpected occurs we are ready for it..” she said. Turning last to the XO, “..Commander Itri, I am going to be in several high priority conference calls on subspace with intelligence briefings on several matters. I am going to need you to coordinate as needed and handle day to day operations when I am involved in these calls. Only upon our arrival or any situations you feel need my attention are you to interrupt me.” She said. Then looking to her staff she said, “..Any questions?” She asked.

GM CockRoach

“Anything I should know about Captain Freeman’s needs before they arrive sir?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

“Noted Commodore. This should be interesting. Do they have any preliminary theories on the species rapid technological advancement? They are obviously getting the information for all this tech from somewhere. I mean even if an advanced ship had crashed on the planet sometime ago it seems it would have taken them years to translate and use the technology.”

Itri, XO
