Stilk was fully prepared to give an articulate response as to how one has to expect hostilities, but remained quiet. The question was not asked of him, so he should not be the one to provide the answer. Instead, he simply turned and looked at the captain to measure his thoughts.

In reply to Silviene Felis (msg # 57):

"Expect Klingons, Romulans, Jem'Hadar, Orion Pirates, to a lesser degree.  All the usual miscreants, plus a few we don't even know about, yet, I'm sure." Shard offers, then nods at Miranda, "As the attack on the slumbering First Officer indicates."

Shard looks over at Sergei while nodding (and pointing with his antennae) towards Miranda, "Doctor, perhaps you should check on her?  She's probably just exhausted, but I thought I heard her say something about having a concussion - which might mean some internal antennae damage.  Also, falling asleep with a concussion isn't something that Andorians normally worry about."

Shard reaches up and gently knocks on his skull with a knuckle, "Andorian skulls are both a few millimeters thicker than those of Humans, plus we have a thin subdermal insulative layer to help retain heat in the skull, which provides some padding."

It was at this time that the Captain noticed the unconscious form of Miranda. "Commander are you alright?"

Sergei looks at her.
"Her concussion has been treated. She just needs rest. She's been on high alert for days. I've already excused her from regular duty for at least a day."

In reply to Sergei Kondratev (msg # 61):

Miranda shifts almost falling out of the chair but catching herself and awaking.

“ Sorry, Sir. I thought a meeting was light enough work. Obviously, I was wrong. I should head to my quarters and lie down. Maybe, you can see me just before the next alpha shift. To discuss all the things we need to discuss. And maybe fill me in on this meeting? ”

Miranda stands and walks to the wall near the door.

"Rest Commander. You need it. I'll see you tomorrow, but only after Doctor Kondratev has cleared you, understood?" Anther said as she rose.

Silviene's ear twitch as she watches the first officer stumble out. The doctor really should take another look at her. This looked like more than a mild concussion.

As Miranda Walked out, Anther looked at Dr. Kondratev. "Make sure she's good before you clear her doctor."

Turning back to the meeting, he said, "We have been ordered to scan the general area around where the Cat's Paw was destroyed, and that would be along the Klingon border. This means we will be facing a likely attack. The Klingons are not going to like us scanning the area. And the second ship Commander Miranda reported, may still be in the area.

So Lt. Commander Vinzz, you need to be at the highest state of readiness once we begin our scan. As a precaution I'll be having the ship at yellow alert.

Lt. Commander Blackthorn, you will be in charge of Commander T`Shran's duties until she is back on duty.

Doctor, you shall need to make medical as ready as possible in case there are any other survivors we encounter.

Lt. Commander Felis have weapons ready to raise at an instant's notice. You need to be alert for possible cloaked ships.

Who is currently assigned to security? I don't see it listed?"

Silviene shifts to an 'At attention" posture and nods curtly to the captain. "Yes Sir"

In reply to Silviene Felis (msg # 66):

Shard watched Miranda as she left the Ready Room, walking with the slow posture of someone forcing their body to obey their will. Andorian behavior.

Shard nodded approval as he watched her out the door, then tapped his comm-badge as the door closed behind her.

=/\= Vinzz to Security. =/\= Shard said, tilting his head towards the comm-badge and speaking quietly so as not to interrupt the Captain, =/\= Have whoever is closest to Deck Three meet up with the First Officer there and make sure that she gets to her quarters undisturbed.  She's under Doctor's orders to get some rest, so let's get her there quick and quiet, yes?  Vinzz out. =/\=

Shard turned back to the meeting just in time to hear Anther say,

"Who is currently assigned to security? I don't see it listed?"

"Ah ... that would be me, Anth-uh-Sir." Shard says, picking at the gold portion of his uniform - causing the entire tunic to shimmer in the chamber's lighting, "Chief Of Security Shard Vinzz.  Been here all week, tried the veal, wasn't impressed.  Hello."

The captain's eyebrow quirked up and there was a slight quirk of his mouth as Shard had a near slip up. but he kept it to only a slight sign of amusement, and ignored the mistake.

"Lt. Commander Vinzz you are at security, and Lt. Commander Felis I'm making you Chief Tactical officer. Any word yet on our counselor?"

Silviene blinks then salutes.

"Oh, thank you sir."

Well now that was something, she been here less than 26 hours and She'd gotten a positional promotion. Worf would be proud.

In reply to Silviene Felis (msg # 69):

Shard acknowledges the Captain's statement with a nod. then flinches a little when he catches Silviene's movement in the corner of his eye.  After a quick glance towards Silviene, Shard takes a small step closer to Dr. Kondratev, leans in and whispers something to the medic.

Silviene shifts her feet and makes an effort to have an air of dignity and command.

"Lt. commander Vinzz, if it's all right with you and the captain, I would like to work on training with you at least on the holodecks as our two departments have to be able to work well together."

In reply to Silviene Felis (msg # 71):

Shard looks over at Silviene, his antennae drooping a bit, with a kind of momentary blank expression on his face.

"Oh. Ah, yes.  Of course, Commander." Shard says, then clears his throat, "A-hem. Yes, as I said earlier, my Division is a little understaffed, but I can probably afford to let you kill a few.  How many can you afford to lose from your Division? I have this case of Gorn manufactured fragmentation grenades that I have just been itching to try on somebody."

Shard's antennae stand straight up and remain very still, as Shard's face again assumes that blank expression - which he manages to hold for about four seconds, before his antennae drop down and point straight at Silviene and he breaks into a big grin.

"Kidding, Commander. It would be my pleasure to schedule some training time between our Divisions, on the holodeck." Shard makes a note on his PADD, "I'll have my Yeoman contact yours ... just as soon as I've actually met mine."

Anther just nods at Felis's request, but rolls his eyes, and his antenna move to a position of mild annoyance at the poor joke.

"Continuing on, who do we have assigned to ops?"

In reply to Shard Vinzz (msg # 72):

Silviene bares her teeth showing off her sharp canines. "Don't let my soft, fluffy exterior decieve you. I am Klingon and federation trained and" she extends her claws a bit "I am always armed" she winks at Vinzz before turning her attention back to the captain.

"I believe it would be good for the medical department to take part in the tactical exercises as well, particularly the junior medics, so we have experience in treating wounds under fire."

Anther raised his eyebrow at that. "That's a very good idea doctor. Make that happen." He said looking at the two officers in charge of that event.

Then he spoke to the rest. "We have about eight hours till we arrive in the area, so please have your departments ready by then. Is there anything else anyone would like to add?"

<<< FROM: Mongoose Bridge <<<<

Napax came barging into the ready Room, just now realizing the customary Ferengi Head Plate was still on his large Ferengi head... oops.

" Lieutenant Junior Grade Napax, Ship Counselor reporting for duty... huff huff... let me catch my breath..." Napax was your standard Ferengi in height and was much shorter then much of the crew. His uniform would barely make inspection at the moment and his rucksack made a thump on the floor as he wheezed and puffed, trying to keep upright and in attention, not caring that his first impression was subpar at best...

Dypec stood at attention, listening to everything that was going on in the first meeting, he was as pleased as a trained Vulcan could be at how the meeting had finally turned around and they were actually getting some work done at last. As he had not been yet addressed by the captain he stood and waited patiently and quietly as the Ferengi came rocketing into the room. his only sign of displeasure at his introduction being a raised eyebrow in Vulcan fashion.

Silviene stared wide eyed at the rumpled Ferengi. She covered her muzzle with her hand and coughed to hide her laughter.

"You're the ships counselor? "

She straightens herself and coughs again.

"uh.. we were wondering if you would arrive in time for the early departure."

Anther was confused. "I didn't know there were any Ferengi in Starfleet. And I've never heard of a Ferengi counselor before. Lieutenant J.G. Napax, why did it take you so long to arrive?"

A Ferengi comes barging into the ready Room, dressed in a rumpled Starfleet uniform and wearing a Ferengi Head Plate that doesn't, exactly, look Starfleet approved.


The little Ferengi said, as he dropped his rucksack on the floor with a dull thump, while he wheezed and puffed, trying to catch his breath.

"HA! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Shard's sudden laugh exploded out of him, actually causing him to lean forward in reaction.

Just as suddenly, however, Shard stopped laughing - his eyes going wide as he raised a well-manicured hand up to silence his laughter.

"I am so sorry *giggle*" Shard said, trying to contain his continued amusement, "It's just ... I never really expected to hear a *snicker* statement like that in the remaining *snicker* lifetime of the Universe *giggle*"

"*ahem!*" shaking himself, Shard gains control, brings himself to a more formal posture, and bows his head - chin touching his chest and antennae stretched out towards the Ferengi.

"My apologies, Lieutenant." Shard says solemnly, keeping his head down, "My outburst was completely inappropriate. I am shamed."

The Ferengi took another moment to breath as the reactions took place around him. He was used to some of these reactions and it didn't bother him in the least. When the Captain spoke he tried to be more professional with his response.

"Sir. I had been on leave... *huff huff* my uncle is a trader of... well, stuff. He offered me a ride and the huumoons stopped the vessel several times along the way. As for Ferengi in Starlet, I am only the second to do so." He decided to only answer the captain at this time.
