======= “Briefings” Con’t from Naomi’s “Hornet’s Nest” ======= Location: USS PATRIOT Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 0420.2023 Scene: Duty Office Daniel looked up from a PADD that he’d been reading at a knock on his doorjamb and nodded to the man in the doorway. “You wanted to see me Major?” James Harper asked politely. He was the leader of F squad, which doubled as the five pilots of the five different fighters. “Yes have a seat Mr. Harper,” Daniel said, getting up and indicating the chair opposite. Harper slid into the seat efficiently and looked calmly over at his superior. “We’ve come up with a bit of a situation,” Daniel said, sitting down and putting his arms in front of him on the table. “The end result is that we are going to need to get the fighters out and assisting the STAR RIDER. What is the battle readiness status of your unit?” “We are all ready for action,” Harper assured him. “Good,” Daniel said as he began to outline the situation. He touched on the two missing officers as well as the discoveries that the combined bridge crew of the PATRIOT and the shuttle crew of the STAR RIDER had made. “So basically, the situation just got a lot more complicated,” Daniel concluded. “And we’re going to need to get more contacts into the field in order to help us correlate all the information that the sensor adjustments have just gotten us.” Harper nodded his head slightly in understanding. “I understand sir,” he said. “I can have my unit briefed and ready to go within the hour.” Daniel nodded. “Get them briefed and prepped,” he said. “I’ll let you know when the take-off time is.” “Yes sir,” Harper said, standing up and saluting before heading out the door. Daniel drummed his fingers on the table for a moment, thoughts running across his mind, before he tapped his comm. badge. “Clarkson to Dirak,” he said. [[Dirak here,]] Brian replied with his usual serious tone. “I want you to prep the COUNTERSTRIKE for potential departure,” he advised Dirak. “But don’t do anything else; don’t even get the crew together yet. We might not need it, but I want to be ahead of the game if we do.” [[Acknowledged,]] Dirak replied, before closing his comm. link. Daniel hardly had time to take a breath before his own comm. badge beeped. He answered it, stating his presence. [[It’s time to send out both the Rapiers and the COUNTERSTRIKE Major,]] Maverick replied. [[You make sure the Rapiers get off the ground and I will attend to the COUNTERSTRIKE.]] “Acknowledged,” Daniel said before closing the comm. link, getting up to his feet and heading out the door. ======== Time Index: A few minutes later Scene: Outside Hangar -> Hangar Daniel quickly made his way into the actual hangar where the Rapiers were located, noticing that Harper and the other four members of F squad were already starting to suit up. They noticed him coming and quickly came to attention in respect for the second in command of the marine unit attached to the USS PATRIOT. “At ease,” Daniel said with a wave of dismissal. “The word’s just come in from the higher ups. Suit up and head out at soon as possible. Maintain a standard formation until you receive further orders.” Harper nodded. “Aye sir,” he said, waiting for Daniel to turn and leave before turning around to address the rest of his squad. “You heard the Major,” he said, his voice changing from one of subdued obedience to one of giving orders. “Let’s move out!” ======== ========== V.
