<div class="floatleft">(https://imgur.com/XNoIZCq.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Melinda Briggs (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=329997.msg15759701#msg15759701)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Ready Room -> Bridge<br/><strong>Summary:</strong>Receiving orders; ordering course change<br/><strong>Tag | Mention:</strong>Viktor, H’Raal, Lahe’la | Nissillia<br/><hr/>Melinda leaned back in the chair and tapped at her data pad. Duty rosters that needed review - there had been some change in crew once they had arrived at Deep Space Eleven; a few crewmen transferred off, while the remaining members of her crew boarded. “<strong>Hmmm…</strong>” She hummed, pausing on one particular individual. She recognized the name. A quick set of taps and she moved him around. She’d not made a habit of overturning Viktor and H’Raal’s assignments, but in this case this individual was going to work better on one schedule than the other. She goes to grab a second pad that’s sitting on her desk when her computer deeps up and the transmission from the Admiral presents.<br/><br/>She sets both pads aside and clicks open the message, reading through it. She pauses before taking any action, reading it a second and third time. Then she authorizes a simple response:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">TO: REAR ADMIRAL LENARD ALDER, CO, DEEP SPACE 11<br/>FROM: CPT. MELINDA BRIGGS, CO, USS VICTORIA NC 74963<br/>SUBJECT: MISSING PERSONNEL - URGENT<br/><br/>ADMIRAL,<br/>USS VICTORIA RESPONDING, AND EN ROUTE.</span><br/><br/>Up from her seat, Melinda departs her ready room and steps out onto the bridge. “<strong>Helm, adjust course to the Sceptri system.</strong>” She orders even as she makes her way to her chair. Slipping gracefully into it she looks over at Viktor, “<strong>Deep Space Eleven seems to have misplaced one of their runabouts. We’re going to hunt it down. I want to brief the senior staff in an hour, and inform all departments of the change.</strong>”<br/><br/>She turns away from Viktor and leans on her armrest to the other side, giving H’Raal her attention, “<strong>Commander, let’s get Nissillia up here right away. I’d like you two to start reviewing the stellar maps of the area, and looking over the flight plan for DS11-20. See if you can find any reason that stands out that might have caused it to go missing.</strong>” She pauses, almost turning back to correct posture and then looks back to him, “<strong>Oh, and we’ll be interfacing with the Oak and the Galient. Let’s reach out to both of them and see what they’ve got already, no need to reinvent the wheel if we don’t have to.</strong>”<br/><br/>Then she sits straight, and reaches up to tap her communicator, “<strong>Lieutenant Andis, please report to the bridge.</strong>”
