Admiral Tate moved forward and gave Commander V'rol a nod. "Thank you for your time Commander. I find that your statement supports my current plan of action in capturing this fugitive. We must use caution when making our approach. Let us not be lured in to any false sense of security in our planning and based on our superior fire power. Simply because this woman is alone, doesn't make her disadvantaged against us. Our strength comes from our ability to share what we have gathered and that we can call upon each other for help. Communications black out with the stolen runabout is here by ordered. Lets not give her viruses the method to infect our computers. Also take caution with planning the final capture. It is most likely assured that she has planned for such an event."

"Captains, you all have your orders. Do not make any attempt to capture without considering what has been said here. Search ships, lets avoid being lured in to established traps."

He paused and waited for any questions. After a few moments, he nodded once more. "Okay, lets get this fugitive and bring her in." On that note he ended the meeting. The main view screen went off as the subspace link was cut.

As everyone started to stand to leave the briefing room, he turned to Captain Campbell, "Captain, I want your fighters to start eight hour patrols for the stolen runabout." he paused and looked at his old pocket watch, "I want the first wing on station at twelve hundred hours Captain" he said putting his pocket watch away. "We need to find out if the runabout is actually here or not. The order is to ensure that no encounter is left to the situation. Once a positive sensor contact is made, wait for support before moving in for visual conformation. I will not loss any more ships or crew to this fugitive." He turned to the rest of the senior staff of the Thunderchild and added "unless any of you have questions. Lets go find this woman and bring her in."

Captain Campbell had remained silent during the meeting. He listened to the other Officers for any thing that might be of use but the meeting had been a whole lot of guess work. The Captain hated meetings that could be summed up in a subspace communication. Campbell had his suspicions about Seona's current goals and her motives but he wasn't ready to share them yet and they would most certainly require more than a memo. The information he had received from Dr. McCoy, his father, the priest, and Seona's holovids had produced enough data to start putting the pieces together but right now it was speculation, he need something more concrete. There was also the spy that was still out there, he still needed to be careful about who to trust and a room full of battle hardened warriors was not a place to go spilling secrets that could raise doubt about his loyalties or abilities. He was going to have to talk to Tate again though, especially after giving him the record of Campbell's conversation with the priest.

Now that the meeting was wrapping up, Campbell's mind came back to the present. "Commander Bonham, please see that the Admiral's orders are carried out immediately. I want the shift schedule submitted within the hour. Dismissed". The Captain turned to the Vulcan, "V'rol I would like to have a word with you in my ready room, I will be there in a moment". Campbell walked over to stand by Tate, "Admiral, if you could review the information I gave you" he said indication the PADD in the Admiral's hands, "there is something else I would like to show you."

The Admiral nodded. The two stood for a moment before Campbell held out his hand and Tate shook it. "It's good t see you, David". The Captain headed for his ready room.

V'rol gave a sharp nod and headed directly to the captain's ready room.
