"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."

"If you will excuse me for a moment, I will check with station operations to 
see what they have available.  I'll be back in a moment.", Abrams said excusing 
himself for a moment.

{any chatting going on???}

A moment later Abrams returned, "Admiral, I have been able to secure quarters 
for each member of your party.  Including your security detail.  I have also 
reserved one of the observation lounges for the duration of your stay.  If you 
will leave your bags here, security will get them to your quarters.  I will 
take you to the observation lounge for your briefing."
