Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hyperion had dropped out of Hyperspace on the edge of the system and came in on sublight speed. Treize went to the bridge and hailed the sector authorities about their arrival. After entering orbit Treize went down to the Hangar to get a ship to go down to the planet, he had a lot to report.

In the Infirmary Doc went over to see how Tasha was doing again. "Well young lady I think you can go now, but I want you to still take it easy for a couple days." Doc of course knew that this would never happen; pilots, they were all the same.

He chuckled, "that's alright, I am a bit distracted as well. Yes, if you are feeling up to it you may join me at the headquarters down on the planet, there will undoubtedly be someone there to report to."

"Yes, he has a tendency to be very protective of his patients, but that is a good quality to have in a doctor I think." He chuckled again, "of course I have never been one of his patients... well, for the common cold once or twice." The drop ship was ready to go and Treize stepped on board.

Treize's thoughts were mostly on the report and perhaps speech he would have to give at the meeting with the Admiral in charge of this sector. He had already sent a preliminary report via subspace once they were safely away from the nebula, but now he would have to go into more detail. The drop ship closed the ramp after a few more crewmen got on board. Treize had not granted shore leave on this stop yet and the only people allowed on the planet were people on official business.

The trip was short and when they arrived they were greeted by the ExO at the HQ spaceport. He was a nice enough man but short and to the point. After a quick formal greeting he led them into the main complex.

A woman in a maroon uniform sat at a table in the spaceport lounge while reading over a mission file. She peered up at the people entering the building. It was the Commodore who had written the mission file in her hands. She checked her clock and was satisfied to see that he was on time. She got up to follow them, but did not become a member of their 'group', instead she walked on her own but to the same destination.

The ExO stopped at one door. "Lieutenant Feild, this is where you are to report, Treize, if you will follow me please." He continued on his way without waiting for a reply.

"Good luck," Treize said with a smile and then followed the ExO.

Colonel Isard clicked her pen and made a note in the file in her arms and then continued on her way following the Commodore.

It is rude to read other people's thoughts without their permission. The man was reading a report file on the desk and was not phased at all by this interruption.

He now looked up from the file. "I understand, you have not been trained in it. I have read the mission report that Commodore Treize had submitted, particularly on your encounter with the Alien race the 'Eldar.' Would you mind please telling me what happened again, and if you left out the first time anything now would be a good time to tell me."

Treize was led down the hall for a ways and came to an Office with the name 'Admiral Woolsey' on it. The ExO knocked and a man's voice beckoned for them to come in.

The room was decently sized with a window overlooking the bay that the building rested on. The bookshelf and desk were all stained oak and beautifully carved. There were also some other decorations: a model sailing vessel, a globe of Epsilon Indi 3, pictures of family, and books on military strategy and novels. Admiral Woolsey was smoking a cigar and looking out the window.

The ExO and Commodore Treize saluted the Admiral. "At ease," he replied, "you may leave us Mr. Kim." The ExO left and a woman entered and she closed the door behind herself. "Commodore, this is Colonel Isard, please both of you, have a seat." Treize could tell from her uniform that Colonel Isard was apart of ONI, and that intimidated him a bit, they were notorious for not being crossed, but he kept his cool nonetheless.
