Tactical Inclinations

Posted on Tue Oct 9th, 2018 @ 11:15am by Chief Petty Officer Jonas Kader

Mission: Hera v Hera
Location: USS Hera > Various
Timeline: Current

The mission briefing, like so many others, provided advance insight into not only the modicum of actionable intelligence provided, but the level at which the crew could operate without breaking mission, Starfleet and Federation protocols in the process. Even the secondary planning in the process seemed contingent on things going according to the plan laid out. Not that his facial expression would have mattered, but standing off in the background of these meetings was important for Jonas for two reasons. The first being the exceptions leaders had for their officers, which is something he aspired too. The second was commanders intent, when plans ultimately took a quick jab to the face, it was important to know, above all else, what needed to be accomplished beyond a shadow of a doubt.

When dismissed, Jonas pushed himself from against the wall and quietly exited the briefing room. Nodding to both exiting and passing officers, Kader tapped his comm-badge and spoke.

Deck 15 - Saucer Section > Marine Facilities

Slightly darker and a little more ominous, the tactical briefing following the intelligence briefing involved alot less commotion by design. The members who would accompany the senior staff team leads to the surface didn't need a why, just a how and when. The holographic interface gave them a faces to identify as hostile as well as clear and concise actionable objectives for each. As the information complied, Jonas watched the team members take in the information, downloading section for additional study later. As the presentation concluded, the room lighten and the display disappeared. Chief Kader took a step forward and simply asked.

"Any questions?"

A single hand was raised as Kader nodded in her general direction.

"These mythical weapons...they been tested in the field?"

Chief Kader with his arms folded reposed while looking around for others with questions. "No, as far as I've research, Starfleet hasn't done battle with any gods using mythical enhanced weapons before." Nodding to another, he kept his arms folded as the bothered on his face soften.

"What are the weapons Chief?"

Kader took another step towards the display screen, accessing the intelligence briefing information, schematics of the weapons designed by Lieutenant Commander Thex sh'Zoarhi began to appear. Kader didn't respond further, he just looked around the room for additional questions. Once he felt satisfied he'd hit all the point, he closed the information once more and spoke.

"Melee weapons familiarization training in the holodeck at 0500...session is expected to last a few hours so come prepared. Team leaders meeting with the Security Chief at 0430. Dismissed." As quiet as the filled the room, the tactical operators of the USS Hera dispersed, saying their hushed conversations for the privacy of their quarters and personal training areas. With a report ready on the status of tactical, Chief Kader felt confident enough to speak on it to the XO.
