<Lt. j.g. Lectron, U.S.S. Lafayette, Briefing Room>

	Lectron wondered if he was going to attend all the briefings in place of Lt. Commander Striker, the chief science officer.  Oh well, he would get much better acquainted with the other members of the crew, and get some exposure with the Captain and Senior Officers.  He hoped it would be good exposure.
	The Captain seemed somewhat preoccupied on the bridge, and then when he couldn't reach Diego, he left the bridge.  Wonder what the deal is between Diego and the Captain?  
	Lectron walked around the table until he found the Science Officer's place.  He sat down and started flipping through the briefing summary.  Very interesting--wonder how the science section is going to fit with all this?
	Having finished the briefing summary, he sat back and relaxed.  If felt good to be on a real-life starship.  When on the bridge, he had discovered the science secion sensors had been modified.  He didn't get much time to play with them, but it looked like they were a magnitude above those he had been led to believe were on most starships.  In fact, they were quite amazing!  He was anxious to get back and see what they could really do.  He smiled, maybe life as a science officer on an intelligence vessel wasn't all bad.
	What about the new Medical Officer he noted while scanning the personnel files.  Alana McRae--an interesting name--and she must be something else--on a medical mission to Slater's planet.  She wasn't onboard--but catching the Lafayette by warp shuttle.  It would be interesting to meet her--they did have science in common.....this could be a good trip.
