ON

So much was happening so fast that Sam decided to call another briefing for the next morning so that the senior staff could talk about what they'd found so far and prepare for the arrival of the new Panerian Delegation.

Sam was the first to arrive. She took time to set out drinks and pastries for her crew to at least start them off in a good mood.

Thaddius entered next after York having concluded the autopsy on the deceased delegate with Doctor Frost and Lieutenant Andrews. Sadly nothing had come of the autopsy other then to confirm the cause of death was a person experienced with a blade. His role in this meeting would be solely as an observer.

Amarylis had followed the 'new guy' in. Supposedly command's replacement for Vance. She didn't trust him and she hoped York didn't either. Their was too much poison inside the federation she hoped it had not spread to the Calypso.

"Hello, Commander Storm, Sergeant Beckinsale. How are you doing?"

"I'm adjusting ma'am, thank you for asking. I wish I could have come to the meeting with some more answers, but sadly the autopsy revealed nothing we didn't already know." Thaddius said looking to the marine across from him.

"A little better ma'am. I'm still...adjusting too." Amarylis replied looking to the Commander but offering no change in expression.

Sam nodded. "Adjusting is a start. Hopefully once we find some answers, we can do a little better than adjust."

Leroy walked in, his eyes blood shot, a black can in his hand. "Is it morning already? How's a guy supposed to do any work around here?" He muttered before taking a sip and shivering at the ninth straight energy drink he had finished. Moving to the replicator he disposed of the can and ordered a new one. "Ahhh energy drinks... Sweet sweet man's of the gods," he said much louder; then sighed as he cracked it open and took a sip.

Frost entered after that and put her hand up to hide a yawn. She had spend half the night reading about the staff she had and tried to adjust the shifts around to make things work properly. She was still short a doctor and two nurses and no matter what she did it would not work. She sent a personnel request into Lt. Munich and hoped for the best. "Good morning, people." She smiled and walked over poured herself a mug of water and started to seep some tea and then looked at Leroy and smirked as s mischievous look flickered across her face and she teased "Too much of that stuff will increase your heart rate and it has the potential to cause a heart attack."

"Good, maybe I'll get to sleep if I have one," Leroy growled, not in the mood to play games. "Or would that be against the rules too?"

Frosts smile slipped off her face and her grey eyes that moment ago held mirth now looked like dark pools. "How should I know, Lieutenant.... er um..." Ilse shrugged and flashed another mischievous grin as she continued "as I was teasing. However if its rest you need I can probably fit it into my schedule to relieve you form duty after this meeting because you are obviously in need of rest." With that Frost turned to take a seat near the middle of the table and finished seeping her tea and thought ~~Ilse...where oh where did that come from. Your being all cheeky and smart. You must seriously be feeling stress with this new position. Try and keep calm, its just the jitters. Sip your tea and try and relax.~~

Leroy looked at his rank, then shook his head. He was glad he had never become an Officer. Grabbing another can of the stuff, he took a seat near the back, by the corner. Yea, he needed rest but his job was more important. Thanks Vance for getting yourself blown up. How does a Commander pull that off?

Jayna walked in on the conversation between the doctor and the CAG and wondered what sort of ship she'd gotten herself on now. She grabbed two pastries and a bottle of what she hoped was milk and took a seat at the back where she could observe.

After a few moments, Cam finally entered carrying a PADD under his arm. He'd been prepareing new rotation schedules for his Marines to help deal with this new situation. As it stood, Cam had locked down the Marine Deck and limited access to Marines only with the exception of the CO. he was also considering assigning a couple of guards to Beckinsale as her life had been threatened.

Walking over to an empty chair, Cam sat down and started looking through the information he'd downloaded onto the PADD

Arnon entered the room and took a seat.

Lt. Andrews entered the room, and seeing nearly everyone else seated felt her face turn red. She quickly found a vacant seat and sat, PADD in hand.

Ignatz slipped in, knowing he was running late, he put a wide cardboard box on the table, flipping it open. The fresh scent of still warm fresh baked danishes quickly flooded the room. "Already the parishoners, they are trying to make me fat again, I thought I would drag you all along with me on the path, so that I will travel it a lot more slowly..." He picked a raspberry danish and sat down on one of the open chairs before sipping at his coffee as he nibbled away.

Munich came into the briefing room and took his seat closwer to the Commanding Officer; as teh 'acting XO' he felt he should give a unified front during meetings. HE nod to the Captain and took his seat.

The clicking of heels was heard as the door opened; Spartacus came into the room with a PADD in hand ready for the notes. She took a seat closest to her as she hated being nearly 'fashionably Late' to a meeting instead of a social gathering.
