[USS Calypso - Conference Room]

After the briefing ended and the room slowly began to empty Delon pulled Morgan aside. He had some last minute instructions for her before she headed back to her post and he headed to the bridge.

"I don't want Ensign Miyazaki spending too much time attempting to decode the transmissions coming from the Coalition; it can prove to be a waste of time. If my suspicions are correct there is another part involved here that is not native to the planet. So, let's see if they are talking about anything worthwhile."

"Understood, sir... What about the Union transmissions?" Morgan asked looking at Delon.

"Keep an eye on those as well. The Union is still very much a mystery and I'd like to know what they are up too." Delon paused for a moment walking over to the window and looking down to the planet. "Someone should come out sooner or later and claim responsibility for these acts."

"And what If they don't...?" Morgan asked as she followed him over to the window. They stood next to each other both looking down at the planet that was in front of them

Delon looked at Morgan for a moment. "A scenario I dare not think about." He looked back to the planet. "I would like to meet with Chief Gates as soon as possible. "

"I'll arrange that as soon as I see her." Morgan stated.

"Also, have Ensign Miyazaki set up a channel between the ready room and Onasi Palace, I might need to talk to Madam Onasi. She should have some information for me soon."

Morgan nodded. "Is there anything else sir...?" She asked with a serious tone in her voice. She was worried for the Commander and wanted to do everything they could do help. "Is there anything I can do to help out as well? I'm not really good at sitting on the sidelines. I need to keep my hands busy."

Delon turned to face Morgan." I understand, Lieutenant. But for now I need you to do just what you have been doing. You have done a great job of it up to this point. You need to be a leader down in Operations right now and make sure that they are focused on their job. It's easy to let you mind wonder in these situations and that's when mistakes happen."

Morgan looked down at the ground for a moment with a light smile than looked back up. "Don't worry sir, you can count on me." She felt childish at the moment. She needed to stay focused on her job as well.

"I know I can Lieutenant." Delon responded. "For the time being you is the acting Chief of Operations. If you need anything I will be on the bridge."

"Understood."

They parted ways. Morgan headed back down to her office to continue with her tasks and Delon headed for the bridge to be the acting Executive Officer until the situation got resolved.
