Briefing
Conferance Room Alpha
1325 hrs
"Admiral, whilst I agree that a 'pre-scout' of the area our ships are heading into is a good idea, I am more inclined to agree with Ms Woodcroft's suggestion of sending through a probe, if anything. On that matter I will leave it to the individual Commanding Officer's to approach you on the matter of squadron assignments; I would recommend that fighters form-up with our vessels however and act as an escort rather than a scout. The idea behind the gateway is the added facility to explore - which is why I'd rather our crews themselves all hit head-on what they might find." He turned to look at the COs and XOs. "I know that each and every one of yourselves and your crews are more than capable to rally against, or with, whatever is out there. You wouldnt be assigned to this Fleet otherwise. If any Commander would like a fighter squadron sent through before them, please speak with Admiral Targus and his department.
I don't need to tell you all that this is something big. I'd like to assume it's bigger than any of you had thought this briefing could have been about, but I know that not everyone in command can keep their mouths shut and some leaks may have sprung. Again, I don't need to tell you all to watch how you handle things. Each of you are in command positions because we believe you have what it takes. You have the strengths where others may not. You have my confidence. Now, does anyone have anything else? You will each receive detailed schematics and data on the project after the ceremony this evening, but in the meantime has anyone's cogs been turned in their heads?"
Draco listened as Steve replied and went on to tell the other officers that he felt they were more than ready to handle what ever the gate would offer them. Draco again looked in the direction of Captain Trane and Retired Captain McGriff and nodded again in approval of them stepping up to the task. As he sat back down he pulled a PADD from his inner pocket of his over jacket and started to tap out a list of ideas to bring to the rest of the Command Staff, Following his list he tapped out a short message to Sage, two simple but fully understood words to the fighter community, " TALLY HO".
Draco knew full well that what is on the other side of that gate could either be a great aid to Starfleet. or be the death of the entire quadrant. But in the true spirit of Starfleet, they would all handle what ever came to be with honor and pride.
