Host Pat_O says:
The Ganymede is ordered to report to Planet Benning on Stardate 10005.16 for training exercises.

Host Pat_O says:
You are to split your staff into two teams each led by one of your staff. Each team will act independently, and each team will be given different routes to overtake a target position, which will be announced on your arrival

Host Pat_O says:
Your personnel are also ordered to desist from using any and all telepathic or empathic abilities. Any use of such abilities will disqualify the team from the training session, and the guilty party(ies) will spend the rest of the mission as guests of the Benning brig.

Host Pat_O says:
As always your teams are to provide their own supplies, weapons etc.

Host Pat_O says:
You and your Executive Officer may join a team, but you may not intervene.

Host Pat_O says:
These orders are explicit and pre approved by Admiral J. Bustum
