"I expect to see each and every one of you at the ceremony this evening where we will be unveiling the Gateway to the rest of the Fleet and crews, and I remind you that certain information is classified. Dismissed." He snapped himself almost to an attention posture before turning to John. "That includes you too, Spiced." He mocked, smirking at his old friend.

John coughed and replied, “You imply such a thing?”, then paused for a moment.

“Well I will try”, John finally joked. John then turned to the audience of the briefing. “If you do have any other small questions, I will remain here for 10 minutes or so. After that you may bother me in my office. Otherwise, I shall see you all this evening.” John informed the command staff.

It seems the debriefing went better than expected, the command staff didn't just sit around like lemmings, as he has seen in briefings in the past, but actually engaged in a meaningful manner.
This could be a good omen for the future, John thought as everyone began their departure from the briefing room. It did seem to go off to a slight tangents however, as Steve did point out. But now the y know what could lie ahead.

John certainly could not wait for the ships to pass through the gate, for his personally over-sited the modifications on the gate. He hopes that the skill of everyone who worked under is enough to ensure the ships return and not end up on the other side of the galaxy with no way to return. Many months of planning and hard work, is throttling towards the moment when the two ships will head into the gate.

The ships entering through, their command staff will certainly will want to ensure their ship and their crews are ready as they can be. The thought of going through a gateway with the slightest uncertainty that they may not be able to return is daunting to anyone. We hope we do not end up with a new Voyager. Voyager did obtain a vast amount of information about the Delta Quadrant. However, there crew spent years in a medium range exploration vessel, with no support from their people.  John however did not think this scenario will repeated, from looking at the people who entered today and their records, they should be able to complete this mission without fail.

John waited as the the attendees exited the room, or for when anyone had any questions.

Tag: Anyone.
