Senior Staff Meeting

Fleet Captain Matthew McClendon presiding.

Senior Staff Meeting.

Stardate 78850.799.

Matthew (Captain)

Good afternoon, everyone.

Thank you for making time for this.

This is not a briefing.

There is no agenda beyond introductions and conversation.

The ship will provide us with more than enough meetings in the months ahead.

I thought it might be useful for us to spend an hour together before that happens.

Adrian Renn (Ship’s Counselor)

Then I appreciate being invited before the real work starts.

Matthew (Captain)

You arrived yesterday.

We haven’t had time to burden you with responsibilities yet.

Adrian Renn (Ship’s Counselor)

Give it a day or two.

Laughter around the table.

Matthew (Captain)

For those who haven’t had the opportunity, Commander Adrian Renn recently transferred aboard from Starbase 38.

Adrian, welcome to Kepler.

Adrian Renn (Ship’s Counselor)

Thank you, Captain.

I am still locating my office.

Katherine Ward (First Officer)

That’s how we know you’re officially part of the crew.

I was still getting lost last week.

Brokkar (Chief Engineer)

You were lost this morning.

Katherine Ward (First Officer)

That was one time.

Brokkar (Chief Engineer)

It was this morning.

Additional discussion follows.
