“Certainly Admiral,” the Captain said. “Though it would help to know if we have a direction to travel in, as well of an idea what kind of threat we expect to find when we get there. It’s pretty unusual that there’s a totalitarian regime so well organized that it can orchestrate a state-sponsored assassination in Federation space, yet we know next to nothing about it. We’ll need to know everything that you do, including about this murder.”

– Johann Dvorak, CO

At Dvorak’s words, Avik found herself faintly surprised. Her expression briefly softened into respect before her mask was back up. Her professionalism returned in full force when she turned back toward the Admiral, studying him carefully. When this meeting concluded, her voice could be heard and then she would see if the CO and herself both felt the same way about this assignment.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

Admiral Mcginnis nodded and grabbed a data card from his desk. “This contains all the information that Star Fleet intelligence has on the threat. It isn’t much, stories and folk tales really.” He admitted before continuing, “However, they all contribute to the story and a lot of the stories match some of the events that have happened on the starbase. It also contains headings and coordinates for you to begin your deep space assignment.” He handed the card to the Captain. As he did so, his expression became serious.

The Captain took the card and intended to examine its contents completely at the earliest possible opportunity.

“This meeting has gone on to long for a deep space assignment briefing.” He said, his voice a little lower, he glanced towards the door to his office. “I think I have a mole in my staff. I don’t know who though.” He looked at both officers in the eye. “You are not to discuss the details I have given you with anyone, not your senior staff, no one, until you leave the system. And I am also ordering you to have your crew enjoy at least a week of shore leave here. Act as if nothing is wrong and you are just preparing to a deep space assignment. I don’t want to arouse any suspicions.” He stood up and extended a hand to Captain Dvorak. “You are explores first, but if you encounter anything that could be a threat to the federation, don’t be a hero, report back.” He ordered, before adding. “Any questions?” He asked both,

Who do we call to throw a net over you? Johann wondered but had the good sense to not actually ask.

“Not at this time, Admiral, though I imagine I might after reviewing the documents. Do we have a secure means of communication for mission status reports and other information, or should we keep anything important out of them until Europa returns here? I mean, for the purposes of operational security.”

– Johann Dvorak, CO

Admiral stood up and headed towards the door. “Use the Code 47 frequency for all transmission regarding the secondary assignment. Anything else, use standard star fleet frequencies.”

“Understood,” Dvorak simply acknowledged, as he followed behind Admiral Mcguinness.

As they approached the door, they could hear, rather muffled, but what sounded like an argument.

Avik continued to listen to the conversation between the two men. Her posture relaxed into a more suitable stance before the Admiral stood up, signaling for her CO and herself to follow suit. She casually lifted upright then followed them toward the door. The moment her ears caught the muffling arguments, she paused then tried to tune into the sounds. She wanted to gain whatever clues she could over it.

Her eyes glanced at Dvorak to identify if he could hear what she was.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

“What’s going on out there?” Johann wondered aloud. He couldn’t hear as well as Avik, but the sound of arguing was easy to identify and notable for being very out of place in any given Starfleet facility.

In what was a possible breach of etiquette, he stuck his head out the door slightly ahead of the rest of the group to prompt the door to open.

— Johann Dvorak, CO

In the waiting room, two full commanders, one in a red command uniform, the other in a yellow operations uniform were standing in the middle of the room, both facing the receptionist desk. Standing behind the desk was Lt. Kelly. The Andorian Lt who was manning the desk when the group arrived wasn’t there.

“I don’t care Kelly, You are not authorized to be here, you are not authorized to man that desk.” The red uniformed commander stated rather sternly. Both commanders were well built human men. The Command level commander, was shorter, but had the built of a guy who spent more hours in the gym then out (OCC: Think Scott Steiner from WCW). The operations commander, was about 6‘8”

“Sir,” Kelly replied meekly, “She just went to the restroom, I offered to stay here until she returned.”

The two men turned to look towards the Admiral’s door when it opened. Admiral McGinnis looked at the Commanders, then at Lt. Kelly, the back at the Commanders. The Red shirt commander, after looking at Admiral, he turned back to Lt. Kelly.

“Good Luck Captain, Commander.” McGinnis said to the two of them, offer his hand, ignoring the situation outside his office. “I am interested to hear all about your exploration.”

After shaking hands with Captain Dvorak and Avik he turned and walked back to his desk.

“You are to go back to my office and wait for me there. Go!” While his voice was calmer then the other commander, there was a hint of authority and impatience in his voice.

“But sir, I have to, I mean I have report back to my.....”

“Now!” The taller commander stated with more authority.

“Yes sir.” She said softly, looking down at the ground. Without looking at anyone, she walked past them and out the door.

After she left the two commanders turned to address the Dvorak and Avik.

“I apologize Captain, I wish you didn’t have to witness that. Commander Hartke, Chief of Staff to Admiral Mcginnis, This is Commander Bryan Guillhouf, head of Station security.” He said in introduction.
