[Vimyridge] SD950225.19 - Command JL Pt 1 - Vilqa, Blake, Blake, Saladin, Lox, Nix, DuMont

[Kylana ~]

"All department heads report to the Observation Lounge." Yes the teams had
only returned to the vessel within the past hour but the Captain wanted to
have a meeting before each of the officers got settled elsewhere.

Toby had entered right behind the Captain, and moved to the replicator to
get himself a cup of coffee, his precious sweet coffee, then went to take
his usual seat and sip the wonderful beverage as he waited for the others.

Justin walked in.  He had 2 PADDs in hand looking between them, and shaking
his head.  He took a seat and set them aside.

 Kylee walked in, her hand coming up to hide a yawn as she took her seat.
She set down the PADDs she was carrying, idly running through the data on
one of them as she waits for the others to arrive.

Jason walked in and took a seat. He nodded to Justin and the others.

Cait made her way into the meeting room with a smile. She'd stopped by the
day care to see Rose after she'd gotten cleaned up. Unbeknownest to her, the
happy toddler had put a bright yellow star on her mommy's rump as she left.
The doc made her way to sit at the end of the table.

Marcus slipped into the room just in time, dark shadows were under his eyes
and the ease with which he instantly scanned each of the rooms occupants
belied the tempest that was a shadow in the far recess of his mind. He took
a seat next to Cait and turned to view the captain, giving a brief smile.

Vilqa nodded as she was seated in her chair, "Thank you all for coming so
quickly. I do hope this meeting will not take long but I wanted to talk to
each of you before you got refocused elsewhere. Nix were you able to obtain
samples from Daephon?"

Glancing up from her PADD, she looked to Vilqa, nodding. "Yes.. we've begun
analysis of each sample to see how much damage has been done to determine
the quickest way to begins repairs.." she stated.

"Good. That part of our participation will continue through your research
Nix,"

The part klingon's hand went up slowly, "And before we get too far, I know
there may be a feeling we are leaving a job unfinished but the 14th Fleet
could not afford to have us remain here until the bitter end as who knows
how long it would have taken. Humbly we had to retreat and pass on the
torch."

Justin looked at the Captain, but said nothing.

Kylee bit her tongue, lowering her gaze back to the PADD to keep from
stating anything. She was running on little sleep, which meant her patience
was pretty much none existant at this time. It was probably best just to
remain as quiet as possible.

Cait glanced around at the others. While everyone was tired, Kylee looked
exhausted. She made a mental note to have a word with the girl when the
meeting was over. If she wouldn't take a friendly word, well, Cait would
just have to go CMO all over her.

Marcus nodded to the captain, this had been a job well done, and it wasn't
this that unsettled him, it was the fact that it had reminded him of things
best forgotten. "Captain, might I ask who is heading up the operation? We
should forward all our information them to them as soon as possible."
