I stalk around the briefing room table, scanning the faces of the project team I've assembled. I activate the dataport and ruddy New Vulcan appears on the presentation wall.
"Officers: our mission."
Spock and Uhura exchange a glance.
"We will be deploying the Federation's most advanced communications and security arrays. Fleet's guaranteeing New Vulcan will be safe."
Scotty crosses his arms and nods approvingly.
"I have one more project expert to bring aboard."
The conference room door slides open to admit the last member of the team.
Ambassador Selek strides into the room and smoothly seats himself.
"Captain. Please continue."
