Mission: Mission 1: The Return to Faltan
Location: Shuttlecraft Prycesis
Timeline: MD04 - 1400

Colonel St Clair sat at the co-pilot seat, off all the JAG Corps regulations this particular one was the most tedious to him, JAG Corps officers were not permitted to pilot their own shuttles. A hold over of some antiquated regulation that the Admiralty kept on the bucks.

"Shuttlecraft Prycesis to Faltan Flight Control, requesting clearing to land." The nervous young Ensign said from the controls.

"Faltan Flight to Prycesis, you are cleared on approach to the main hanger bay." Came the reply.

"Copy that Flight, Prycesis out." The Ensign said closing the channel. "We'll be wheels down in 3 minutes Sir."

"Thank you Ensign." The Colonel replied, noting the young man's use of colloquialism that no longer really made sense. Moments later with a gentle thud the craft touched down, the Colonel grabbed his bag and hoped out, heading for the Command building.

"Excuse me Lieutenant, where's the Captain?" Ethan asked coming into a quite hectic operations centre that still look to be in the middle of repairs.

"He is away, meeting with the local government in the capital." The yellow collared Lieutenant replied.

"Very well, what about the XO?" Ethan asked.

"Also away, the entire senior staff went, Sir." She said slightly awkwardly.

"Fine, please inform the Captain and XO when they return that I need to meet with them, I will make myself available at their earliest convenience." Ethan replied, slightly annoyed at the level of disorder the base seemed to be in. "I believe the JAG Offices are two levels down?"

"Yes sir, but," She started, "I don't believe the JAG offices have been cleaned out yet, the buildings were in quite a state of disrepair when arrived, non-essential areas were at the bottom of the list. I believe the cleaning crews were suppose to start on them today."

Ethan ran a hand through his short hair, "Very well, is there somewhere relatively clean with functioning power and LCARS access, perhaps even a functioning replicator."

"The main level of the recreation building has a large replimat, it's fully operational." She replied.

"Fine, that is where I will be, please inform me when the JAG offices are usable, and when the CO and XO have returned." He said turning on his heel and leaving.

"Yes, sir," The Lieutenant replied despite the Colonel already having left.
