<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Briefing Room>

"Thank you Lt. Cmdr. Kindle. Does anybody have any qu.."

The door to the briefing room bleeps. Mortimer turns to Ensign Jones who is sitting beside him taking notes on a PADD "Go and see who that is."

He turns back to the latest additions to the Lafayette's crew.
"Does anybody have an...."

"Sir?" Jones says.

"Err. If you'll all excuse me for a second"

He turns towards Jones "What is it?"

"There's a Lieutenant Solod here, sir. Says that he's just been assigned here from the Starbase"

"Oh, tell him to take a seat. He can replay the briefing from the ship's records when he gets back to his quarters"

"Yes, sir!"

Mortimer turns back to the crowd again, just as his communicator bleeps.

What Now?

"Lt. Cmdr. Mortimer, this is Starbase Operations. I have a priority one communication for you."
"I'll take it in my quarters"

Why am I being contacted on priority one - surely whoever it is should be talking to the captain?

Mortimer turns to the crowd once again.
"Err.. right. Does anybody have any questions? No? Good. DISMISSED!"

Mortimer dashes to the door before anybody else can get there, and dashes for the turbolift.
"Deck Two. Senior officer's quarters"

Mortimer sprints the short distance from the turbolift to his cabin.
