FATHER’s voice could be heard after exactly 4 minutes had passed “officers’ brief is in one minute” he said calmly “all officers please report to the briefing room immediately.” Even though there were no other officers on board the Mitchum FATHER was sill programmed to address the officer ranks as a plural rather than a singular. As the marines ate their food FATHER prepared the brief, there was much information to go over and relatively little time to do it in, as such he was authorized to cut short any ‘non-essential’ time usage, this meant cutting Lt. Mengsk’s meal time to five minutes. The doors to the brief room slid open as father awaited his arrival.
