"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.
"We should probably arrange for quarters, first. Then we can spend whatever
time we need working without distraction" He glanced to make sure that was
ok with the rest of the team.
David nodded a quick response.
Joanna took in the situation and could not help but wonder what it was about
men. They did not have to be Klingon males to get into such disagreements.
All races seemed to have males that were like this. She knew that Admiral
Jackson had wanted to make things difficult, but he could be taking things a
bit too far. Fortunately, Abrams was showing a little bit of
level-headedness. "That would be fine, sir."
