It was just ticking over to 2345 hours just before midnight local time when the ship’s NEs on night shift were alerted to prepare the deck 3 conference room. The room by midnight was prepared and a steaming fresh pot of strong coffee, caffeinated tea, water, and sparkling juices were on a table at one end, complete with high energy food cubes tasting like fruits or such for snacking. With everything ready the two NE’s on hand departed before anyone else would arrive for the coming mission briefing.However, for anyone that would turn up early three data chips ready for use on the briefing screen were laid out, each one labeled:
1) Vok III, Ruff II, Quincey II Colony Statuses
2) Orion Lighting Class Blockade Runner/Raider intelligence ship profiles
3) Federation shipping trade lane intelligence for the Vok/Ruff/Quincey colony sectorGM CockRoach
Marcus had been on the Bridge when Captain Rogers had recieved her orders from Command, but he was keen to familiarise himself with the minute details of the Sentinel‘s upcoming mission. Stepping into the conference room on Deck 3, Anders took his seat next to the XO’s chair and accessed the data chip on the colonies, “Computer, list any notable attacks on the Vok III, Ruff II and Quincey II colonies.”

Right after Marcus sat, the room’s doors opened to reveal Alwyn yawning as wide his jaw could allow. His recent promotion not only gave him new responsibilities but also a new schedule, which he still was trying to get used to, as the rings under his eyes showed.
The Doctor sat in front of Marcus, took some coffee, and poured some into it before drinking it all in a mouthful. His eyes already looked a bit more focused, the drink taste wakening his brain.“Coffee ?”, he offered.

The call to the meeting woke Roman. He’d been sleeping well and now he was going to be cranky all day. Had Rand gotten up quietly? … No, she was still in bed, cuddled up next to him. Groggily he jostled her awake. “Did you know there was a staff meeting tonight?” He asked.
“A staff meeting? No…next one is schedule for 1400 day after tomorrow in the conference room.” Rand sat up and snatched her comm off the table, while she dressed. In a matter of moments she was already having a heated discussion with the comm officer who was tasked with waking the senior staff. She reminded her quite firmly that protocol dictated the Captain’s yeoman be notified any time the CO was woken or disturbed after duty hours. And a few other regulations that had been overlooked. The poor comm officer stammered she was only following the orders she was given.
Pulling himself out of bed, he rushed to get ready, quickly changing into a uniform and brushing out his hair. “Are you coming? You should be there.” He said sleepily to Rand. It was just past midnight, he noticed, checking the time. Why were staff meetings always so late? If only Roman could have a few words with command, he thought frustratedly, but he would never actually say anything.
She nodded snapping the communicator shut and clipping it to her belt. She was still braiding her hair as they walked out the door.
Arriving at the meeting, he checked the offered drinks. Caffeinated tea?? Who would ruin tea like that?! The coffee smelled too strong for his tastes. He ignored the juice entirely. Maybe it was his foul mood, but he would rather nothing. With a dissatisfied grunt, he took his seat at the table and tried to look more awake than he was.

Rand glanced at the ‘help yourself’ style approach. First thing was to fix that. Reaching under the counter, several cups appeared, fruit infused water was prepped and set at at Roger’s chair. Black tea was steeped, and then several other drinks were prepped, all made according to preference and then set at the DH’s chair. She offered her apologies to both Anders and Yarwood and provided them anything they might want instead or in addition to. Then she sat at her chair, against the wall (the ‘Yeoman’s chair’s) where she could record the minutes and notes and be available but out of the way.
Alwyn showed his palm to Rand and nodded with a smile meaning he was already at it. But he did take one of the cubes from the bowl and tried it. Strawberry, tatsed the man. Not like real ones, but that will do
While they waited, Rand pulled the information that had been downloaded to the data disks from the ship computer to her PaDD. She had several blank data disks on hand and began copying the data over. In do course each person at the table had a set of disks for their own use and perusal of the files.

Marcus had not had much interaction with Lieutenant Yarwood, but grinned at the possibility of a wake up call, “Make mine double strength.”

“Roger that”, said the doctor. He took two spoonfuls of fresh coffee before pouring the hot water and gave it to Marcus.
“By the way, I don’t think there was a staff meeting scheduled for tonight, was it ?” The question wasn’t specifically for Marcus, and he expected Alden or Rand to be the one to deliver that kind of information. “Or maybe I was too busy and didn’t notice it…”
