Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

[Blackrat]

Raphael sat pressing his index fingers to his lips while listening to the briefing. Well, medical concerns were his to adress and he had a question. My knowledge on Gorn physiology is somewhat lacking. I hope we can acquire some records from them in case of emergency. I would hate to cause a diplomatic incident just because I couldn't treat something simple because of lack of knowledge. Exobiology was his specialty, but Gorn were so out of his usual studies that it wouldn't hurt to get more data.

Hale rubs his chin for a moment. "How many Gorn diplomats will we be transporting?"

Ensign Kirk slowly moves past the admiral, to answer the doctor's question. "We have transmitted everything we have on the subchannel, you should be able to access what we have on your computers now."

Rapheal picks up the small PADD that he brought with him to the meeting. Slowly scrolling through the PADD, he does find the transmitted medical information on the Gorn, as well as the medical records on Lt. Srosski from Starfleet Medical.

Ensign Kirk then turns towards Jonas, "The Gorn ambassador's name is S'slee. He is an older gorn that is more than one hundred and fifty years old. It turns out that the gorn captain that fought my uncle in the Metatron arena, became one of the stauchest supporters for negotiation with the Federation."

"Beyond Ambassador S'slee, he will be bring two of his aides, Slas'sarn and Gris'lass, and five guards as well as myself as your liason officer."

Winters had remained pretty quiet during the briefing, it was a little unnerving being in a room with so many important people in Star Fleet. The last few days had been a whirlwind of nervousness, but he had to suffer through it, take a few deep breaths, and focus, "Is it possible for an engineering team to be transported over to the Gorn ship orbiting Cestus III to work on their navigational systems? I'm sure they're likely to refuse, with their honor system and everything."

 

[Rhun]

Hale nods. "I'll make sure the proper security and escort are in place for the Gorn's arrival."

"We have offered to have an engineering team beam up from Cestus III, but they have refused citing it as sovereign soil. ", the young ensign says as she turns towards Lt. Commander Winters. "Ambassador S'slee seems to seem friendly, but there are other members of his staff that I wonder about."

Admiral Mendez steps in front of the young ensign, before she states anymore of her suspicions. "There is nothing that we can prove, so please do not treat any of the diplomatic party differently."

"I am glad you are on top of things Lt. Commander, I do not want any chance of a diplomatic incident on top of this fiasco.", Admiral Mendez says towards Lt. Commander Hale.

 

[Rhun]

"I'll be very clear with my staff. We'll make sure a diplomatic incident doesn't happen, Admiral."

 

[knightemplar]

"Are there any other questions?", asked Admiral Mendez.

As no other questions are voiced, Admiral Sa'avik moves to the front of the room. "Thank you for your time, Admiral. Ensign. The Ascendant should be at Cestus III in just under two days after stopping at Starbase 39-Sierra."

"It will be nice to see her here, Admiral. Hopefully, this Gorn situation can be solved without creating an incident.", he nods to the side, then the transmission ceases.

Lt. D'Vassa speaks up, "Transmission has ended, Admiral."

"Commodore Rardon, is there anything you wish to add?", as Admiral Sa'avik turns towards Kris.

"No, I think we have at least covered the basics, so the senior staff needs to digest the information and do their own research. Ladies and Gentlemen, dismissed.", as the Commodore turns back to the senior staff.

The Senior Staff as one entity, stand up out of their chairs and slide the chairs back into the table. The room quickly empties, leaving Admiral Sa'avik, Admiral Kiel, and Commodore Rardon.

Jonas hears his name called as he feels a touch on his arm while leaving the breifing room. He turns around to see Lt. D'vassa. "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to grab something to eat real quick?"

After the briefing on the mission, and his lack of true duty in it other than to maintain millions of intricacies in the state-of-the-art, flash-forward-into-the-future, marvel-of-technology ship, Lieutenant Commander Winters proceeded down to his office in Engineering to help with the sensor adjustments.

 

[Rhun]

Jonas smiles at the Lieutenant. "I'm starving, actually. I'd love to grab a bite."
