<USS Avalon> Staff Meeting

Meeting
by Captain Keith Ketchum, Commander Skyler, Senior Lieutenant Felicity Roan, 
Senior Lieutenant Anthony Manson and Ensign Melanie Redgrave


"Captain, welcome back. How long have you been back?"
 
"Long enough... long enough.  Please join us."  Keith motioned around the 
room, to the empty chairs, and those that were taken by Mr. Manson and Dr. Roan.
 
He waited until they were seated.
 
"I think we'll get started.  Hopefully, Mr. Sierra, Mr. Snuffy, Mr. Thomas 
and Mr. White Feather will join us shortly.  Is there any headway on the 
investigation into the death of Captain Flubb?"  He pulled out a PADD to take 
notes.
 
Melanie looked over at Skyler and then at the Captain. She wasn't use to 
protocol on star ships and wasn't sure if she was meant to answer the Captain 
or 
not. She'd just told Skyler everything out side but when the older woman didn't 
say any thing she knew that the question must have been addressed to her. 
 
"Captain Flubb was killed by an energy weapon not of Federation registry. The 
aslant was male, between 6'1 and 6'4 and left handed. He was also wearing a 
particular type of shoe with a small bit of the sole missing, a bit I have in 
the lab I might add." Melanie started. She kept her voice level as she looked 
at each of the people in the room. "I have compiled a list of suspects 
including Commander Sierra, Lieutenant Manson and," 
 
Melanie paused and looked over at Skyler. She was about to add yet another 
weight to the strain between them but she didn't allow the turmoil she felt to 
show. "Doctor Idrys, and Petty Officer Kendrick. I have interviewed and cleared 
Sierra, Manson and Idrys. I plan to interview Kendrick as soon as possible." 
 
When she was finished Melanie slid a padd with a list of the evidence she had 
to the Captain and then leaned back in her chair to show she was done.
 
"Well, Ensign Redgrave, I thank you for jumping in and heading up this 
investigation, for that, I hereby promote you the rank of Junior Lieutenant.  
Now we 
just need to get that last thing.  An arrest."  Ketchum slid a box down the 
table with the new pip.
 
Turning his attention back to Commander Skyler, “I understand that Mr. Snuffy 
has requested a leave to return to the Aurelian Homeworld.  Since I assume 
that he has been cleared from this investigation, please confirm his leave.”

"Yes Sir, I will take care of it immediately. If you have a moment after the 
meeting I would like to talk to you in private." Skyler wasn't sure how she 
was going to approach the Captain about Commander Sierra and his attitude 
toward 
her and his disrespect for her command but she was not going to be treated 
like a second class citizen any longer.

Keith looked around the table, "Mr. Manson, do you have anything?"

"The Delegates are becoming a little harder to control, Captain. Currently, 
they're going in and out of their quarters and going past the recommended 
security zones. And their personal gaurds are acting on the Delegate's accord.  
Which is why I need a little help with them, sir."

 "Understood, I'll be sure to pass that onto Commander Sierra." 

"Oh, and most of the Ambassadors have been requesting to meet with you. They 
demand they know the current status of the ship and it's condition on the crew 
as part of their 'observation'." Anthony shook his head, "I've already told 
them what I could- which wasn't much- and I caught at least one of the Rydyn 
Delegates temporing with the Internal Communications. I've locked them out."

"Thank you, Lieutenant, can you please setup a meeting with the chief Rydyn 
in my ready-room."

"I will, sir."

Turning his attention to Doctor Roan, "How are things in Medical?"

Nodding at the Captain.  "Things in Medical are going well, but with the 
arrival of the Starfleet Command doctor, I'm not quite sure what her presence 
is 
required for, perhaps you could elaborate?"

"Doctor Cazook is here for a medical duties specific to Lieutenant Marksbury 
and Commander Skyler.  The reason of that is classified." 

Frowns at the Captain, "I respect her right to having classified information, 
but I really feel that I am not being included in medical decisions that 
affect not only the Commander but the entire ship and crew.  I think perhaps we 
should discuss this at another time outside this meeting."

Keith nodded, "I look forward to that discussion."

"The ordered crew physicals have commenced and Dr. Idrys expects them to be 
finished within the next two weeks, perhaps three, depending on our mission 
assignments.  I have nothing further to include."

"Thank you, Doctor?  Commander Skyler, is there anything else?"

Skyler looked at the Captain and thought for a moment and replied, "I have 
nothing else at this time other than the meeting I already mentioned."
