Faye sent a very simple and polite request to the CE and COO for them to attend a meeting. She did mention that the captan asked her to give a briefing, so hopefully whatever ill feelings they had with her currently wouldn’t affect their willingness to actually show up. She’d have understood, if that were the case, but it also would make things even more complicated than necessary. And things were already complicated enough.

Lt. Faye Calloway, Secret CIO

Cochrane sat in the room waiting for the three to arrive. “Well, this is where we find out what we are made of.” he mumbled to himself as he drummed his fingers on the table.

Cochrane, CO

The door slid open and Max walked in, clear he had come straight from some kind of work as he was still wearing a belt with assorted tools that he un-clipped from his waist as he approached the table. “Captain,” he greeted Cochrane then placed the belt on the table and off to one side, then sat down to await the briefing. He idly pulled a rag out of one pocket and proceeded to clean his hands of residual muck from the machinery he had been adjusting.

Lt Cmdr Wynter, CE

“Commander. How goes the repairs? Anything we need to talk about before Calloway reads you in?” he said plainly, as if what he said was just another run of the mill conversation about everyday normal things.

Cochrane, CO

“Nothing, Captain. The repairs are complete and systems back online. We have plenty of parts and spares, and a lot of practice getting the EPS grid running right after a surge.” Finishing with the rag, he tucked it back into his pocket.

Still wearing her blue sciences uniform (for now), Faye entered the room carrying a small crate in her hands. She fixed both the Captain and CE with a somber glance before setting on the table. “Hello Captain, Commander,” she said simply, reaching in and pulling out a PADD. For the moment, she just set it to the side.

Max nodded in greeting. His face was expressionless and while he was concerned about what was going on, he was more than glad that Calloway had recovered from the incident.

“Lieutenant. Everything ready? And before you start, I’ll set down the rules for our little parlay here once the Ops Chief arrives.”

Cochrane, CO

Faye nodded and moved over to where Cochrane sat. Leaning in, she spoke softly. People though whispers kept things secret, but the hash sibilants made it so much worse. “Best actress award. Let it be known,” she said simply, before straightening.

Moving to the viewscreen, she tapped things into the panel though the screen didn’t shift its blank view yet.

Cochrane nodded in understanding and said “One more minute we’ll wait for the Ops Chief, otherwise we will start without him.”

Cochrane, CO

“I hope you won’t start without me Captain,” Walker said as he walked in. The door had opened right as the Captain had just started speaking. “I’m sorry for the delay, I was finishing up trying to prioritize use of the sensor grid by the science teams.”

Looking over at the Commander and Lieutenant, Walker nodded to them. “Commander, Lieutenant.”

WO Darach - COO

“Good timing, Mr. Darach. Please be seated.” Cocohrane said and waited for the Ops Chief to sit.

“Gentlemen.” he said, speaking directly to Wynter and Darach. “What is about to be discussed here is classified. It is also a violation of a standing order to disclose this information to you at this time. By doing so, everyone in this room would be in breach of regulations and quite possibly be brought up on charges. I am telling you this because I will not put anyone in that situation without full disclosure up front. If you do not wish to know what the hell is going on, so be it. You are excused. And I will not harbor any animosity or negativity towards you for doing so. If you stay, be aware that what will be discussed is not to leave this room under any circumstances. At any point. This will not be spoken of to anyone, lest the previously mentioned possibility become a reality. Do you understand, gentlemen?”

Cochrane, CO

“Perfectly, Captain.” Max said simply. He was interested in what exactly was about to be revealed seeing as it couldn’t be something that affected the Engineering side of a ships operation. That information was always at the purview and sign off of the Chief Engineer no matter how high up or secret and that regulation couldn’t be broken without serious consequences for the people involved. No Chief Engineer in Starfleet would be brought up on any charges for protecting his ship against something that should have been disclosed properly no matter how classified, but it was curious that the organisation or people involved didn’t have their own ships in their pocket to use for this.

Lt Cmdr Wynter, CE

Logan nodded as he folded his arms. His days in the Dominion War leading a specialized team of infiltration and sabatoge experts behind enemy lines had prepared him for classified information.
