=/\= Starbase 201 Zetari =/\=
Cloistered up in his office assigned to him whilst aboard Zetari, Sharpe ploughed through the paperwork that needed his attention. Thankfully, that had become less and less, with Admiral Malone’s return to Starbase 514, and picking up his duties. All the same, he was burning the candle at both ends, what with Admiral Zina still in sickbay. No one knew when or if the Admiral would return to duty, but there was always hope.
Just then, the monitor on his desk flashed and rose out of the desk, with the Starfleet emblem showing he had a priority communication from Starfleet Command.
The emblem replaced itself with the image of the acting Commander, Starfleet, Admiral Aaron Mallory. "Greetings General, apologies for the interruption, but as you're no doubt aware the president has made some changes to the Admiralty board. I need a status update for Alpha Fleet and I can't get through to Admiral Zina."
“Alpha fleet is in good order, despite the situations that have occurred recently. We’ve increased our patrol regime in a hope to alleviate concerns among the civilian shipping lanes of piracy and other issues. It’s a serious stretch on our already depleted resources, but we’re getting the job done. Doesn’t help when JSOC steals one of my principle starships.” Sharpe muttered.
"I've been appointed acting Starfleet Commander in the interim. General, I need you to relenquish your Alpha Fleet duties and report immediately to Headquarters Marine Corps and assume the billet of Commander, Marine Operations, with immediate effect." Mallory explained.
Sharpe was taken aback for a moment, then he looked at the man on the screen. “I am honoured by your posting considerations sir, but I can’t just up and leave Alpha Fleet. Admiral Zina still needs my help.”
"I need you elsewhere, Richard. You are to report to JSOC as expediently as possible. Your assignment is effective immediately, and you are promoted to General in accordance with the position," Mallory continued. "I understand your concern, but we're seeing Krivaldi activity growing and I may need ground forces deployed quickly. That's where your experience and knowledge is of best use to me."
“I understand sir.” Sharpe said. “I’ll report to Trinity Tower as soon as I can get transport out.”
"Make all due haste, Richard. Things are becoming potentially grim." Mallory replied, the link dropping out and replaced with the Starfleet logo.
“Jeez.” Was all Sharpe was able to say.
