Steven's first thought when Captain Aurellius acknowledged his arrival was 'oops! Busted!', but he shook his head and reminded himself that he had been ordered to this meeting, and it had sounded both urgent and important that he attend. He walked into the office properly and sat down at the chair that had been offered. Captain Aurellius, it seemed, got right to the point. >"I appologize for the abrupt call this morning, but things are not... >normal around here. Let's start off with what do you know about the >events at Spacedock and Earth over the last 36 hours?" "Only sketchy details. I know there was some sort of bombing or attack, and several senior officers died, but not all that much beyond that. As you may know, I only recently returned from a mission." [reply?] Liridian out.
