ON:
Resch had assumed the CON position on the Bridge when the Commodore departed. Now, sitting comfortably in the Boss's chair, he saw to the running of the ship. Tactical spoke up over his shoulder. "Mister Resch, we just had a runabout drop from warp, send an encrypted message, and then beam something to transporter room 4 before they jumped out."
Resch stood up and turned to look at the man. "No ident codes? Nothing?"
"Nothing, Sir. Through the encrypted message I can say it is classified, and why we are not at red alert over an unauthorized transporter signal."
Marcus moved his eyes to Helm. The young Ensign Jazmin Al-Sahir. "Ensign Jazmin, you have the con. I'll be in transporter room four." He exited the Bridge.
Having beamed over without notice, something he thoroughly enjoyed doing to the unexpecting transporter chiefs, Lieutenant Ken Kudo stepped down from the pads and approached the console. He handed over a palm PADD. "Lieutenant Ken Kudo, assigned to Amandora as Strategic Operations Chief, engineer, and all around Security."
The operator had taken the PADD and linked its data to the ship. His orders were confimred within moments, but it still did not explain how the man just beamed aboard without setting off alerts. He handed the PADD back. "Welcome aboard, Sir."
"Thank..." Kudo stopped what he was going to say as the entryway door opened and a determined looking officer in red walked in.
Resch had entered transporter room 4, and halfway to the console he stopped and looked at the newcomer, wearing a Starfleet uniform, but with a darker, royal blue coloring to the shirt. He had heard of them but had never met one himself. This man was a Starfleet Ranger. "I take it you are the package that was delivered, Lieutenant?"
"I am, yes. Lieutenant Ken Kudo, assigned to Amandora as Strategic Operations Chief. Pardon the unorthodox delivery, Lieutenant, but we don't linger long in plain sight."
Marcus took all that in. He did read over the arrival orders, verifying them again at the console while Kudo had laid out why he was here. "Very well, Mister Kudo. Your quarters are assigned. We are at the cusp of starting a mission so the CO and XO are busy at this time. Any meetings with them will have to be done while that is in operation. Drop your belongings off and then go to Sickbay for your transfer physical. The name's Marcus Resch," he said as he shook hands.
"Thank you, Mister Resch." Kudo shook hands and began to move. "I'll see to the necessities and then introduce myself to the commanders." With that he was gone.
"Starfleet Rangers," the Tech said. "Never met one before, let alone actually seen one."
"Me neither," admitted Resch. But, his father had spoken about them often, at how vital such forces were when no one even knew they were among them until they were needed. "Something tells me that things on Amandora are going to get more interesting."
