There was a question mid-briefing, and Mara looked over at Hallowette as the Midshipman spoke up.
"Lieutenant, I am fluent in Klingon and speak a bit of Dominionese as well..." she paused before adding, "Uhm...if I can help...with that..."
“Good to know, thanks,” Calleja replied with a nod before continuing. It wasn’t meant dismissively. The Security Chief had filed that information away and would use it if she needed it.
Given my record for gettin’ stuck in, I’m probably the one we most need to cover in case I go down…
As she finished the briefing, Mara looked across at the assembled officers and asked for questions.
"None from me, great plan by the way,” Aeryn said.
“Did you like the part where you were 2IC the most?” Mara replied with a wicked grin. “But thank you.”
"Ready when you are, chief," Omdor said.
“Cool. I guess we’re good to go then,” Calleja replied, seeing as nobody else had anything to add. She looked up as Okehampton and Sansum brought in crates. They had suits sized for everyone on the away team, as well as weapons. As well as the smaller phasers, there was one additional rifle, and the armourer Okehampton handed it over to the former COS Miller. “OK. Gear up,” the Security Chief added. “If you need a hand, ask. No judgment here.”
With the team getting ready, there was one last question from the CMO.
"Do you have a set of that armor sized for a pixie? This suit isn't equipped with that tech."
“Oh yeah. Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s a module that plugs in to existing ports, so I think we can make it work with your suit,” Mara said. She felt a degree of camaraderie with Robin when it came to finding gear that fitted - her own was a custom size as well, just for the opposite reason.
It turned out the armourer had been listening, and Nat Okehampton approached with the module in hand.
“You are correct, Chief. Please hold still a second Commander, I’ll soon have you connected,” she said, in her accent that sounded straight out of a period drama set in 18th century England. Still, she knew her way around her equipment, and it didn’t take her long to get the CMO ready.
“All done,” she said with a gentle pat on Mayfair’s shoulder.
After a few minutes, everyone seemed to be armed and armoured.
“OK, you all look done to me. Let’s get goin’,” Mara called, her usual accent returning as she shepherded the teams aboard the shuttlecraft. With everyone aboard, she tapped her commbadge.
“Calleja to Bridge. Team is ready to go, awaitin’ your command.”
