Question Mark:<br/>I am sorry I didn't make the call for your character to the XO office more clear. I was working off my phone.<br/>It wasn't Corvin making an overhead announcement, it would have been a tech on the Command deck. It would have sounded like this "Mr. Cabel Bellar please report to the XO's office, immediately" I will edit my post to make it more clear.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=149802.msg6835003#msg6835003">Quote from: Question Mark on 30-08-2012, 00:07:28</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">There's no reason for the marines to be in the CIC.  Everyone there already knows the bad news.  It's the rest of the ship that might need watching.<br/><br/>Also, I think much of the crew would know beforehand.  A rumor like that would spread like wildfire, so the announcement would only be an official confirmation.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I am sure the commander would have locked down CIC until he could confer with his XO and CAG. To make sure the rumors didn't get around and things get out of control before the over head.
