"I am not sure you understand. This investigation has been ordered by
the
CinC himself. I would think that he expects you to do what is
necessary to
help it come to a quick conclusion." Jared eyed his fellow-Admiral.
He was
not going to back down on this. "Perhaps sitting in on this
intelligence
report will provide my team with some insight on how things are going
in this
region."
"I'm sure that you don't understand. Investigations, whether they are
conducted
by JAG, the IG, or some other group take a second chair to operations.
I will
be more than happy to sit down with you and your team, but at a time
when the
demands of day to day operations will allow. That is per Starfleet
regulations,
and I would think the CinC expects me to follow regulations. As to
attending
the Intellignece briefing... That would be a no. The Starfleet JAG,
IG, and
medical corps don't have the necessary clearance. If you would find it
helpful
to have a declassified copy of the report, I'll see to it that you get
it. For
whatever good it will do you."
Abrams was not a moron, and could see things degerating quickly. He
decided to
overstep his bounds...
"If I may, Admirals, the Intell briefing typically lasts an hour or so.
There
is time in your schedule for a brief session, about 30 minutes, before
Col.
Stark and Col. Markham call in for their reports.", Abrams said
finishing by
looking at Van Der Loo. After a ever so brief pause he turned to
Jackson, "In
the meantime, sir, you and your team could get settled in. Perhaps I
could
brief you on the situation, and perhaps even set up some interview
times with
other personnel..."
Abrams impressed Jared. It was not every officer willing to jump
between two fighting Admirals. "That would be wonderful, Mr. Abrams."
He emphasized how pleased he was with the offer.
(anyone??)
