The comm had barely closed on his report to Fleet Captain Vakir when Doctor O’Fee arrived on the bridge, her expression serious. She addressed both him and Commander Keir, asking for a private conversation about a 'conundrum' that was best kept off the official records.
A conundrum? After everything else today, of course there's a conundrum...
Ameen thought, exchanging a brief, weary glance with Keir. He saw his First Officer was already on hir feet, ready to act. It was good to know Keir was in lockstep with him.
"Of course, Doctor," Ameen said, his voice calm and steady. He stood up from his command chair. "Whatever you have to report, we'll hear it privately. The briefing room."
He looked around the bridge to see who would take command.
Ra'an, Gath, and Powl are all off-bridge. That leaves... His gaze settled on the helm station. Lieutenant Krandall. He's a Lieutenant, he's at the conn. He's the senior officer remaining. It's his.
"Lieutenant Krandall," Ameen said, his voice carrying command authority. "You have the bridge. Maintain present course and speed. Alert us if there are any changes in our guest's medical status or any new communications from Trill."
With that, he gave a nod to his FO and the CMO.
"Commander. Doctor." He turned and led the way towards the briefing room, the weight of another unknown problem settling on his shoulders. The quiet part of this mission just kept getting shorter.
