Five minutes after the fateful call Willow made her way to the briefing room and almost got the fright of her life when the doors opened for her and to her surprise the bouncing pale faced figure of Ensign Charlie appeared almost nose to nose with her in the door way.“Hello again Captain Taylor, I hope you don’t mind I took the Liberty of preparing the briefing room for your senior staff and ensuring there was refreshments available. Please don’t mind me.” Then she bounded away to sit on a chair in the corner of the room a PaDD poised on her lap and her fingers hovering above it, twitching, as if she were waiting for someone to yell “Ready, Steady, Go!”
Willow blinked. She had forgotten they had inherited the rather spirited young ensign but maybe having someone from HR on board was good given the circumstances. She walked to the head of the table and sat down. After a moment she reached over and picked up the warm pastry from the table and bit into it while she waited.

CO“Am I the first?” Brad asked, poking his head into the room, seemingly surprised to only see Willow and the walking sugar high. “I haven’t been the first person to a briefing I didn’t call in more than a decade,” he said, seemingly disgruntled at that fact. Still, he made his way fully into the room and took the seat to Willow’s left (leaving the right for the XO).
Willow chuckled looking mildly relieved that Brad had arrived. She glanced at the Ensign in the corner. Apparently she made the CO nervous.
“So, what’ve we got? Asteroid impact? Colony world whose medical staff has been incapacitated by brain-eating slugs? Rabies outbreak on Tellar Prime?”
“Worse.” Willow said Stoically
“Worse!?”
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffThe doors to the briefing room opened once again and Achilleas was the next to enter. “Hello.” He said simply in greeting as he considered where he was supposed to sit. There were only so many seats though and as he was likely the lowest ranked, besides Ensign Charlie sitting off in a corner, so he got himself a pastry and a drink before he sat at the hinterlands of the table.
CSO Petrakos
Willow smiled in welcome despite her annoyance at the announcement she was about to make “Good morning.” She said.

CODrake entered shortly thereafter. He felt out of place, and was genuinely unsure he belonged. Supposedly he was a chief of surgery, though staff meetings didn’t suit him. But he arrived nonetheless. “Good morning.” He greeted everyone before taking his seat.
-Dr Drake Marshall
Brad nodded at Drake. “Morning, Dr. Marshall.”
Zoi walked in and took a seat of someone who was quite comfortable on any ship as the Chief of Security. She had lived in this position for many years under many captains. Unlike some who were new to their positions or new to the Ogawa, she was confident and never out of place… at least when it came to work. She poured herself a cup of delicious smelling coffee from a carafe on the table then reached and took one of the pastries available with a red filling of some kind....a danish? She couldn’t remember the term for it.
“Good Morning,” She returned to Dr. Drake and then nodded respectfully to the Captain. “Captain. I trust you are finding your way around the new ship?”

Chief of StaffElin made her way into the room, nodding to those who had arrived ahead of her.
Dr. Elin Howell COPsych
Having stopped to check on something before their meeting, Dira stepped in. She might be new to her role as first officer but she was well used to these meetings and to running. At the moment, this was no different than she had done a hundred times in her twenty years as a psychiatrist. The difference being that her team was a larger mix of skill sets and training and she would be supporting Taylor in making critical decisions that would impact hundreds of people. No pressure.
Still, Myqian wore the weight of her role more easily than she had expected. If nothing else, she had a natural confidence that made it easier to walk into this room like she actually might know what she was doing.
Gravitating towards her own coffee she moved to her spot at the table to Willow’s left wishing for a moment that there was something stronger than caffeine on offer. “Morning all,” she greeted with a relaxed tone.
Commander Myqian, XO
OOC: Beat ya to it Linds, but the seat on Cale’s right is open ;)
IC: “Morning, Commander,” Brad said.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff
Willow nodded as each crew member entered in turn. “Good morning.” She said.
Once everyone was assembled Willow steepled her hands and said “Well, welcome. I hope everyone has managed to find their way around. Ensign Charlie would like you to let her know if you need anything further.” She cast a glance to the apparent Mary poppins of StarFleet. Charlie beamed at them all and went back to her PaDDs.
Willow looked back to the crew. “ I know we were hoping for something…exciting, for our first mission on our new ship. However we have been given a routine operation, medical in nature but with one small difference. The Ogawa has been declared new territory as far as starfleet command is concerned. They loved the Mccoy but they don’t know the Nightingale…so to remedy this they have decided we will play host to a camera crew who will be…documenting our mission. Command have asked us to ma things…interesting for them.”
There. She had said it. Now she waited for the reactions.
