Admiral Quinn's Office

Captain Pierce straightened her uniform as she wandered through Spacedock not really knowing anyone or anything about this place. In her time, Earth Spacedock was a much, much smaller place to behold with not a lot to do on it. A lot has changed for sure.

Along the corridors, she saw a grand standing pillar in the center with a wrap-around wall structure encapsulating it. The Federation crest was etched on the floor in front of it. This must be where the Admiral was residing at. She looked at everything, trying to soak it all in as she proceeded up the steps and around the wall structure.

Around the corner, she could see the grizzled old Admiral in his office with a few ambassadorial delegates, and a young Yeoman it appeared. Nearby the entrance a tall, muscular, dark skinned man stood holding a PADD in his hands but also glancing at you.

"Greetings, Captain. My name is Philip Crey. I'm a Temporal Agent working to preserve this timeline."

"Greetings Lieutenant Crey. I'm Captain Stephanie Alana Pierce. I'm looking for Admiral Quinn, who it seems is just beyond you."

"I've read your file from Agent Daniels. He's mentioned that you've had some...interesting changes take place as of late. My apologies for what you must be going through." He paused before continuing, "I was fortunate that my entrance to the 24th Century was due to a temporal causality loop that the Enterprise D managed to get the USS Bozeman and my Captain, Morgan Bateson, out of. Not all are so lucky in how they're brought to this century."

"Yes, it's been difficult to take all this in for sure. But I believe I'll manage." Pierce stated.

"You've been identified as a capable and savvy officer – just the sort of person we need for a sensitive mission. I'll connect with you in the near future to divulge that mission. For now," he gestures to Pierce, "I believe the Admiral is waiting patiently for you."

Pierce nodded and continued her stride to the Admiral's large office. The various delegates were leaving one by one as you entered.

"Captain Stephanie Alana Pierce reporting for duty sir." She said in waiting for the Admiral's response.

The Admiral looked up from his PADD and motioned for the Yeoman to leave him as she took the other PADD likely that he'd just signed and left the room with Pierce and Quinn alone.

"At ease Captain. I prefer to run these meetings very cordial and down to Earth." The Admiral said. Pierce noticed that he had weird markings along his temple and likely leading down his body as it went down the collar of his shirt. She had never seen a life form like him before. He appeared Human but not at the same time.

"I can see you're a little taken aback with my appearance. You must not have come across many of my kind before. I'm a trill. We have a symbiotic relationship with some slug like creatures from the planet Trill." He sat up and put the PADD down after looking for information on it. "But you didn't come here to hear about my species. Let's get down to business. Please sit." Quinn motioned to the Captain to sit down before him.

Captain Pierce sat down and waited for the Admiral to speak.
