Mission: Project Sandstorm
Location: Briefing Room
Timeline: Day 1 - 0900

On:
===Ship's log supplemental==
We've arrived at Ranora prime, as we entered the system the debris of a number of ships made the entry into the system difficult and presented a major navigational hazard, as we entered orbit we saw the devastation of the Dominion's orbital bombardment, while parts of the planet have showed signs of recovering the original settlement site took the brunt of the original strikes, since then the colony has attempted to rebuild.

==End log entry==

Jason looked out the window in the briefing room too his left was the planet below, patches of green and brown blotted the one continent while scorched patches where life once thrived is now gone, he took a sip of coffee as he waited for the senior staff to join him.

Torin walked into the briefing room with a stack of PADDs in his hand and a mug of something steaming in the other. He looked at the Captain and said, "Welcome back, sir. Glad to have you back onboard!"

Jason looked over to Jorel, "Feels good, so did you have a chance to go through the mission profile?" taking a drink from his own cup.

"I think it involves checking out the ruins, talking to the people at the survivor colonies, and maybe picking up some new crewmembers, if I remember everything correctly?" Torin replied, trying to remember the specifics of the upcoming mission.

Jason looked too the XO, "These people have been trying to rebuild for about twenty five years now, even with help from the corps of engineers they're still running into environmental effects from parts of the bombardment, add in discovery of undetonated ordinances, we have our work cut out for us."

Arriving from Engineering, Hobb carried the larger style of PADD he preferred for schematic diagnostics of the ship. He nodded at both politely, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. Stepping to the replicator he got himself a double-strength raktajino and took his customary place at the table.

Jason looked over too the engineer, "Hobb, did the flight deck crew get a chance to look over the two new runabouts?"

'Oh yeah,' Hobb replied with a smile. 'Spent a whole half-shift going over them with a fine toothcomb. Deck Chief was impressed with the equipment. They can't wait to see them in action.'

Torin looked at Hobb and Jason as he said, "That's going to be an interesting little thing to try and help out with! But....runabouts?"

"I managed to score us two of the two new Murray River class runabouts, complete with scout vehicles." Jason said with a smile.

'No small feat,' Hobb commented, 'there's not many of them to spread around the fleet.'

"And the fact that we've managed to snag up two of them. Which Admiral did you have to get the Romulan Ale to in order to snag those things up?" Torin asked with a small smirk curling his lips up.

"Wouldn't you like to know..." Jason said

Johanna was going through a report that her junior officers had prepared for her. It was quite thorough and detailed that damage the planet had suffered. She was sitting in her chair at the science station. Some ships did have a chair at the science station, but she had made sure to get one.

"Totally guessing it was Admiral Wallace, but I can't say for certain. Don't want to make any assumptions," Torin said with a small smile creeping in on the sides of his lips.

"I'm not denying much about that, but I would like to make the Corps of Engineers jealous." Jason said

{tag anybody}

< Sickbay >

Lt Daniel Martin scurried about making sure his sickbay was ready for what ever might come up.

=^="Doctor....."=^= The Captain started =^="Does sickbay meet with your approval"=^=

" It does and it doesn't Captain. Is this a starship or a cruise ship? " Daniel replied as the ships sickbay was way better than any he had served on.

=^="I'd rather be outfitted for everything than playing the guessing game Doc."=^= the captain replied

" It is better than the training bays on Utopia." Daniel replied.

=^="Well doc we're just over six hours out so start getting organized in case we need your expertise."=^= Jason said

==Bridge==

Jason looked to the XO "I'm gonna go be a dad for a couple of hours, Number one get an update from the Corps of engineers on their arrival, and we'll meet in the briefing room in say...." Pausing for effect "Four hours?"

Torin did the jazz hands to add to the effect and replied, "Make it five.....to be on the safe side sir." Torin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Go. Have fun with the kiddos."

Jason stepped into the turbolift "Good idea."
