     Cdr. Velorna Tal |
Long into the night Velorna Tal worked. She scanned over numerous personnel records with the intent of picking the best crew possible to join her in the forthcoming competition with the Rylans. The challenge of assembling the right skills of various personnel into a properly functioning team. After several hours, she knew that she had a near-perfect arrangement. Her most difficult matter would be convincing her primary cohort into joining. She tapped her commbadge. "Bridge, this is Commander Tal. Get me Cerberus' captain, and patch her through to my quarters." While she waited for the connection, she sent several messages out. When Doctor Reed replied that he enjoyed her company immensely but would not be caught dead in such a childish game as the upcoming Race, Tal could not help but grin. She, too, had considered the race somewhat juvenile. But it had become almost a chess match to see which pieces she could move into place. It was rather stimulating. After all the pieces were in place, Tal grinned. It would be a glorious challenge. Win or lose, she would know that she had the best people for the job. They had the skills and the know-how. All she had left to do was to forge them into a proper unit. ========== Christian D. Clem '01, aka "Aggie" Commander Velorna Tal, Executive Officer USS Coronado NCC-97901 |
