Cochrane walked into the Conference Room and pulled up the current view and scans of the planet they were approaching. Taking a seat, he pulled up a PaDD that listed the projects the Graven government had requested assistance with, and the points of contact for each. He then began reviewing the information… again… while the Command staff assembled themselves.

Cochrane, CO

Naim entered the conference room only moments after the Captain. She wasn’t sure were she was supposed to sit and she didn’t want to disturb the Captain by asking him when he was clearly busy preparing for the meeting. So she just stayed standing next to the door with her back straight, shoulders slightly squared and her hands behind her back. While she stood there, waiting for the others to arrive, she hoped that her excitement and nervousness wouldn’t be too obvious.

~Ensign Naim, Science

“Cap,” Walker said as he walked in and nodded at the Captain. “So do they have some fun requests for us?”

WO Darach - COO

Cochrane nodded. “Seems so, Mr. Darach.” and, without looking up, he added “Ensign, do have a seat. Hovering at a door way is not a comfortable place to spend a staff meeting.” He then glanced at Naim and gave her a small smile. “And relax, Ensign. You wouldn’t be here if I thought you couldn’t handle the job.”

Cochrane, CO

“Yes, Sir, of course,” Naim replied and and returned the smile before taking a deep breath, trying to let go of some of the tension within her. She then walked the few steps towards the conference table and slipped onto one of the chairs, placing the PaDD she had been carrying with her onto the table right in front of her. But even sitting at the table, her posture was stiff and formal, with her back perfectly straight, her legs crossed at the ankle underneath her chair and slightly to the right and her hands folded neatly in her lap.

~Ensign Naim, Science

Logan smiled as he remembered how it was when he was an ensign attending a debriefing with the brass.

“I’ve been trying to decide how to outfit and arm the away team, Sir. They aren’t Earth. We’ll need appropriate clothing and weapons.”

CoS

“Are we even allowed to have weapons on the surface? They had a pretty long list of requirements for off-world visitors,” Walker said leaning back in his own chair.

WO Darach - COO

“Um yeah,” Celina said sliding into a seat at the command table. “I know we can’t open carry but there were plenty of times we do concealed and carry right,” she looked at the CoS. If there was a vote, she was voting with the COS on the idea of bringing weapons down to the surface. The thing about weapons was simple. If you didn’t need to use them no one knew you had them. If you didn’t have them but needed to use them you were up a reek without a paddle.

“That’s what Type 1 Phasers are for, concealment and personal defense. I am pretty sure we can find ways to get that past at least a few of our team. We don’t need Type 2 and 3 on hand, but I don’t think we should go in empty-handed either.” Ardashir said, agreeing with the pair on the idea. He never went anywhere with one anyway, years of intelligence training had him always wishing to be armed when he walked into any room.

Creed, XO

“Agreed. Never leave home without a bobby pin or phaser,” Celina took a long swig of her coffee. “You would be surprised how easily a bobby pin can become a shank when you jab it in the right place and no one every frisks for that,” she shrugged her shoulders as if thinking about her comment. “Ya’ know a Type 1 Phasers is a great iea.
We should do a frisk party like we did at the academy,” she suggested drumming her fingernails on the conference table.

Lt. Celina Rodriguez CTO

“Is that what we’re calling it now…” Jack said as he looked over at Celina. He couldn’t help but smirk a little as he shook his head at the comment. “Still, the outfits can surely conceal one of those phasers… the rest we can wing… Ms. Rodriguez can even have a hairpin if she really insists.”

Creed, XO
