Ensign Janus Kell - over as quickly as it had begun

[Janus Kell]

((USS Darwin, Deck 2, Conference Room))

::The meeting had progressed interestingly. Janus had more than once noticed someone looking his way, at 6ft 2 and good looking at that he was used to attention though in most cases he suspected they were just trying to work out who the new face was. The awards and promotions had been interesting to watch and it was nice to see that the ships command were willing to acknowledge the actions of their crew. Janus had been primed earlier in the meeting that there was change a foot but it still came a little as a surprise when the announcement was made.::

Renos: I’ve heard some of the speculation going around lately and it’s right - well some of it anyway. The Darwin is being reassigned and so is its crew. We are headed for the Par’tha Expanse where the Darwin and its crew will join the newly formed Andaris Task Force, which will be led by me.

 

Janus: oO Just as well I didn’t get too settled, guess I’ll have to repack Oo

Varaan: Almost twelve years ago I was given command of the newly commissioned USS Atlantis and was tasked with the apprehension of an ex-Maquis terrorist. With my crew in pursuit, he fled into the Jenatris Cloud. We followed. What we discovered on the other side was extraordinary. The Par'tha Expanse, as it is called, is a conglomeration of various species and worlds far older than the Federation. Atlantis was forced to leave after less than a year for political reasons, but four years later I returned on my own, and lived in the Expanse for the next six years. It was during this time that an aggressive, expansionist species known as the Valcarians began to invade the Expanse. The two powers are currently in a state of war, and the peoples of the Expanse have requested aid. Due to political restrictions, the most Starfleet is able to provide at this time is the Andaris Task Force, a small fleet whose primary goal is relief and peacekeeping.

Renos: Andaris Task Force will be comprised of four vessels - the newly launched Olympic Class USS Blackwell,  the Intrepid Class USS Atlantis, the Horizon Class USS Darwin and the Defiant Class El Corazón. The Darwin’s senior staff is predominantly being reassigned to the Blackwell and Atlantis with a few individuals moving to the home station - Deep Space 26.

Renos: Rennyn, Kell, E’riQ, Thomas, Kalis, R’Ven and Stennes - you will be going to the Blackwell. Rhyn, Brell, Shayne, Logan, Pond, Lambert - you will be joining the Atlantis. For now though, you remain Darwinians so let’s get underway.

 

Kell: oO Blackwell hey? Don’t think I’ve heard of it, I’ll have to see what I can find out Oo

Varaan: The Darwin should arrive at the Jenatris Corridor in approximately 18 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes at current speed. It will then take 23.78 hours to traverse the Corridor to the Expanse. In that time, if there is anyone who would like more details regarding the Par'tha Expanse, I will be available to answer any questions. Otherwise, we still have a ship to run. Dismissed.

 

::As the meeting drew to a close Janus was simultaneously disappointed that his time on the Darwin had ended just as quickly as it had begun and yet excited to see what this new area of space, and the new ship, had in store.::
