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."
"I was wondering just how much info had made it to you in the field. Well there was
an explosion on the station, and it was a bomb. There were several wounded, quite a
few seriously. However, prior to that there was a sniper attack at a funeral on
Earth. The funeral was for the son of Admiral Lasiter. That's where the flag
officers were killed. Both incidents appear to be the work of extreamists within the
Federation. As a result things are very hectic. ", he let the information sink in a
bit before continuing.
"We also have a situation near the Klingon border with a new species. A felinid race.
They have been doing mainly commerce raids, but have grown to hitting Starfleet and
Klingon military supply convoys and patrols. Special Operations Command had been
given the task of overseeing the efforts to stop the attacks. The mission is
commandly jointly by a Starfleet officer by the name of Rear Admiral John Black and a
Klingon Captain named Koloth. We have learned that these felinids are genetically
identical to Caitians, but not so civilized. It is believed that they are the advance
force to a full scale invasion. Adm. Black and Capt. Koloth have brought some
prisioners here for interrogation. "
