<Captain Mortimer, Bridge>

Mortimer walks back onto the bridge, and Beata returns to the conn. Instead of taking the command chair, Mortimer starts to pace backwards and forwards on the bridge, obviously very concerned about something.

The intercom bleeps, bringing him back to reality.

"Captain Mortimer: Lt. Alana McRae, Medical, reporting for duty; awaiting orders, sir!"

Remembering what Lt. Barrett said, he decides not to go with his first thought, to send McRae directly to sickbay.

"Welcome aboard Lieutenant. I believe you have received a copy of our mission orders. Please report to the briefing room directly after checking in to your quarters."

"Mortimer to all department heads. The mission briefing will start in ten minutes. Please ensure that you or a representative is present."
