"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.
"Very well then... Until then, Admiral.", Van Der Loo said before turning to
leave. On his way out he gave Abrams a dirty look.
David, still standing a bit anxiously, began to relax with the departure of Van
Der Loo. While not easy for him, it was now over, and that brought a measure
of comfort.
"Admiral Jackson, where would you like to start a briefing or getting quarters
on the station?", Abrams asked as calmly as he had spoken before.
