Mission: Shades of Gray
Timeline: prior to staff meeting

Daniels approached the mission advisor's office, having heard that one had been assigned for the new mission.

He knew two things. One, Kyt would want as much knowledge as possible, and two, Kyt would not be willing to find it, herself. After the last mission, where he had arrived at the staff meeting, and took notes for Kyt, he questioned whether he should do this again. Daniels did know one thing. He'd want to find Kyt this information, prior to the staff meeting.

He approached the office door, and pressed the chime.

Preston, sitting at his desk reviewing reports, called for whomever to enter.

Daniels nodded to the man. "Ensign Daniels, of Security." He said with a nod. He handed the man a PADD. "Your security codes, and authorization forms." He said. "And I was wondering if you could fill me in on some of the society of the planet we're going to. The Section Chief has a habit of forgetting to do things like data acquisition."

"Thank you..." Preston took the PADD and skimmed the information. "As far as filling you in, that will go through the chain of command. If you have a problem with your section chief, you need to address that with him or her. Failing any resolution, then proceed up the chain of command. I will not be sidestepping anyone ensign."

"Actually, it's not a problem, per se. It's just that Kyt is a violent person, and putting her in the same room as pacifistic minded officers has turned out to be semi-lethal in the past. I have even filled in for her at staff meetings, in the past." Daniels said. "Regardless, if you could send her a message with the information she will need, then I don't care, one way, or the other, as long as she gets it."

Preston was taken aback. He had never heard of such irrational behavior. "I will uh..." Preston paused and put his right index finger to his lips for a moment. "I will allow Captain York to distribute the information as she sees fit." He shook his head and mumbled to himself about the perceived lack of decorum.

"Hey, it's your spine." Daniels said before he got up, to leave.

Instantly one of the mans sliver eyebrows arched significantly. I must have been marooned on the Island of Misfit Toys.

Daniels waved to the man, as he arrived at the door. "I'll come visit you in Sickbay later." He said, as he headed out the door. "I'll be nice, and even bring some alcohol."
