Once the Expedition Chief arrives, he's drawn aside by the Captain, leaving Terry, the first officer, to greet Annika.. again the usual paperwork.. and pointing out various members of the crew.  Again the focus on the wavers.. on the accomodation restrictions.. which is broken up by another loud joke by the dralasites in the corner.<br/><br/>Eventually the expedition chief starts making his way around the expedition crew, meeting all three present in turn.  He introduces himself at Terrence.. an enviromentalist and former professeur from Zebulon.  He's elderly.. softspoken..and Zyntha can't help byt notice that he seems to react differently towards Annika.. (those psycho-social skills at work) - he seems friendly.. as if they had a common background.. or perhaps more.<br/><br/>"Okay everyone.." the general discussions are broken up by Captain Marlboro.  "I'll be overseeing the last minute loading.. I'd like all Miranda crew to report to the ship tonight.  Expedition crew will be briefed on station tonight by Terrence.. Terry will be staying to establish the room coordination.  Everyone has my com" he holds up hiis wrist-com.. "I can be reached..although if you have non-critical comments please give them to Terrence or Terry."<br/><br/>With that..he breaks up.. the two dralasites following with him..as well as the engineer and 2nd ofificer.
