::ON::

[Ready Room]

Tomorrow The Peel would arrive at Valdaron, as much as he disliked briefings, Jamie knew that would be the quickest and most efficient way to make sure everyone was set in their various departments. Tapping his comm "This is the Captain, there will be a briefing in one hour in the conference room for the following Officers. Lieutenant Commander Devroe, Lieutenant SanChez, Lieutenant's J.G. Albo, Aloran, Jen, and Sayvek, Thank you" the Captain concluded. Grabbing his PaDD Jamie left his Office and made his way to the conference room to go over some notes concerning their arrival.

[Conference Room]

Jamie grabbed another coffee then sat in his chair bringing up his talking points for the briefing in order to keep things as precise and short as possible; he was not a fan of long drawn out meetings and his Crew certainly had enough to do than sit in a meeting for hours.

As the time fast approached Angel made her way to the briefing room. Walking in with a smile "Captain good morning. I must say this is out of character for you" she stated with a grin.

Jamie smiled "Ya I know but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do what's necessary" he replied "Feel free to grab something to drink" as Angel took him up on his offer.

Lieutenant Jen arrived next with her PaDD in hand "Good morning Sir, Ma'am. Not being a Senior Officer I was a little surprised to be included in this meeting" Yesrin commented.

"Since you have very vital information I thought it would be a good idea for the rest of us to hear it right from the source" O'Connell replied then continued "Even though we don't have these types of meeting often, and you are the Intelligence Department, I would like you to get in the habit of attending if you wouldn't mind" making it a request rather than an order.

"Certainly Captain, that's not a problem at all" Yesrin answered as she heard Jen [Kiss ass] which made her grin.

Sarissa entered the room offering a warm smile as she greeted everyone. “Good Morning” she took a seat and waited for the briefing to start.

Lieutenant Albo walked in right after Lieutenant Aloran, not wanting to seem too obvious, since they both had a late start to their day after spending a little too long in bed this morning hoping no one would notice "Good morning everyone" as he took his usual seat next to Sarissa.

Sarissa smiled as Johan sat down beside her, there was something to be said for being a little tardy.

Sayvek arrived in his before work attire as he had just finished meditations.

Captain O'Connell stood "Thank you all for being so prompt this morning. Before we get started please fell free to garb a drink from the replicator" Jamie waited a few minutes as some made their way to the replicator. "Please don't be alarmed at this meeting, you all know how I feel about them, but it's the quickest way to find out what's going on from each of your Departments.

Looking around the room "Ms. SanChez, we'll start with you. Is Captain hunt and the Marines all set for standby status" O'Connell inquired.

"Yes Sir, Captain Hunt and his Marines are good to go when and/or if they're needed" Maria replied "Also I'll have a few of my Security people available as well."

"Very good Lieutenant" O'Connell stated "Ms. Aloran, how the Medical end of it coming along."

“Medical is ready Sir, I’ve inventoried our supplies we’re all well stocked and prepped for any eventuality.” Sarissa smiled. “Ship’s Counsellor is as ready as she’s ever going to be.”

Thank you Counselor; should they need anything medical I'm sure your sevices will be appreciated" O'Connell replied "Mr. Albo you'll accompany the Counselor; I'm sure an extra pair of hands will come in handy. Also if anything should come up operational wise you'll already be planet side."

"Yes Captain, anything I can do to help" Johan commented being glad to be Sarissa's side if only for her protection.

Then looking to the other side of the room "Ms. Jen would share the intelligence you've gathered just so everyone's aware" O'Connell ordered.

"Certainly Captain and I'll keep it brief" then looking to the others "I've discovered through my contacts there is a faction outside the government that wants much more government overwatch of it's citizens and they're willing to get their point across at almost any cost. So please be aware in case you find anything suspicious " Yesrin explained.

"Thank you Lieutenant" then looking towards Science "Mr. Sayvek as soon as we're in range please start a complete scan of Valdaron" the Captain ordered.

" Consider it already begun Captain." Sayvek replied.

"Thank you Lieutenant; it'll be interesting what you find out" O'Connell replied then continued "Commander you'll be leading the away team. An Engineering team, the Medical team, and a Security detail with be going with you. Please keep me apprised at what you find out and advise accordingly" the Captain ordered.

"As you wish Captain" Devroe replied then addressed the room "We will be arriving at Valdaron about zero nine hundred tomorrow. As soon as the Captain makes contact with the head of their government then we'll meet in Transporter Room One shortly thereafter. If you have any questions or concerns please see me after the meeting is over."

"Thank you Commander. One word of caution. Even though they have asked for our help please be conscious of your surroundings. Anything that seems off let the Commander know right away" the Captain ordered "So if there aren't any questions you are dismissed."

After everyone left the conference room, Angel walked up to Jamie "The Crew has done a great job getting prepped for this mission" she commented "I just hope this doesn't go sideways on us."

"Yes they have as I expected they would. We have an excellent Crew and I'll be monitoring the situation so please check in regularly" then he paused "And that's why I have the Marines on standby, plus a few Security people, just make sure all of you stay safe" then looking Angel in the eyes "Make sure everyone returns safely, yourself included; I'd be lost without you as my Number One."

Angel smiled "I will do my best Captain and thank you for your trust in me; it means a lot" she stated then turned and left the room as well.
