Major Mattox quickly joined those at Ops for an update on the scuttlebutt going around.

" Commander Callaghan may I have a word with you? What is this ruckus about us moving the station? Do I need to mobilize my marines?"

Shauna had been wondering how long it would take before questions would arise. “To be honest Major I’m still catching up myself after being reassigned here on a permanent basis, but from what I know the station will be relocating from our current orbiting position. It shouldn’t cause any problems, but it maybe prudent to have your people on standby just incase.”

" My marines are ready Commander," Mattox promised.

“Of that I’ve no doubt Major” Shauna smiled warmly. “Have your people had a chance to run emergency drills aboard station yet? I’m not saying we’ll ever be attacked, but it pays to be prepared.”

" We train daily. From the skuttlebutt they are over hyped Maquis types. I will run more drills today Commander." Mattox said as he saluted and left Ops.

Unannounced General Thirman arrived and also sought the Commander.

" Sureth is avoiding me. I understand we are negotiating with the Essary? Some of those operatives are AWOL starfleet officers. No doubt some court-martials will follow." Thirman stated.

“I doubt very much if Commodore Sureth is avoiding you General” Shauna gave Thirman a polite smile. “As for the Essary, I suggest we at least give time for diplomatic talks to take place, before you go pulling in people for court martial.”

" I do not look for trouble Commander but it is my job to follow the uniform code of military justice. Rough Star Fleet officers are traitors." the General replied. " Please inform the Commodore that I was looking for him."

“Of course General” Shauna nodded politely. “Is there anything else I can do for you Sir?”

Thirman looked past the Commander and then back to focus on Shauna.

" I am not the enemy Commander I am here to help."

Shauna nodded. “I understand that General I have no problem with that.”

With that said the General turned around and exited Ops.

With Thirman gone Shauna tapped her comm badge. =/\= Ops to Commodore Sureth, General Thirman was here looking for you Sir. =/\=
