ON:

After submitting his contingencies to the commanding officers of all of the ships in the area and their Marines, Damian decided to check with Admiral Bremer on the status of Lieutenant General Fultain-Bremer. He hadn't seen her around the office suite and he was beginning to get worried. Damian strode up to the Admiral's Office, tapped the door chime, and assumed a position of Parade Rest.

"Enter" Mike said, replying to the door chime. Mike noticed Highsmith had a `business`expression on his face.

"Colonel, please have a seat. What can I do for you?" Mike asked.

Damian sat down in one of the comfy chairs and started to speak. "It's about the General, sir. She hasn't been seen or heard from since the engagement with the Klingons a few weeks ago. I've been getting a bit..." Damian had difficulty saying his next words. It wasn't like him to worry, not in the least, but for some reason, he was.

Mike nodded, he understood what Damian was trying to say...

"I can't go into great detail right now, but yes, the General has been less than available lately. I understand this impacts your position aboard Starbase 400. I can tell you that things aboard the station are about to change. How much so, I'm not really sure, all I can ask is for you to sit tight and assist Colonel Pike as much as possible.

Damian nodded "Yes, sir. I just feel that I can do so much more here, because as of right now, I've just been a glorified PADD pusher." Damian said, his gaze lowering to the deck.

"I understand, and frankly I want you more involved as well. Let me see what I can do." Mike replied.

Damian nodded "Yes, sir." Damian nodded solemnly, he felt like a child coming into the office to check on his mother.

"Now is there anything else you needed from me, sir?" Damian asked politely, assuming a position of attention again.

As Mike paused, the comm sounded.

"Ops to Admiral Bremer, there is an incoming message for you from Starfleet Command."

Tapping his comm-badge, "Understood...route the call in here Mr. Archer."

Mike looked back at Highsmith, "That'll depend on what Starfleet has to say. Mike replied with a smile.

As Damain stood and left, Mike tapped the panel on his desk to accept the subspace call from Starfleet...


OFF: I'll be posting again on Thursday w/ the in-character news about the USS Essex coming, etc. Til then, everyone have some fun! :)
