Ready Room aboard the JDTS Stiletto...
Rear Admiral Armstrong sat alone in his ready room, taping a metal index finger on his desk. His ready room was ornate, much to the Rear Admiral dismay. The trinkets and things just took up space inside the already cramped ready room. It could have been used for much more practical reasons, not just taking care of damn dignitaries. However, Conrad knew his promotion would have some stipulations.
He sighed as the ship's AI Athena appeared on his desk. The AI took the form of an ancient warrior clad in white robes. She cleared her throat getting Conrad's attention. "Excuse me Rear Admiral, but they have finally arrived."
Conrad stood. "About bloody time..." He mumbled, as he grabbed his cap and pulled it over his head. Conrad moved and exited the ready room and made his way down to the main hangar where the new personnel were to meet.
The Stiletto and the other Specter class carriers were being constructed in secret at Area 52. Once the Stiletto was completed it was given a skeleton crew and was transferred to the orbital shipyards above Nepleslia Prime, which is where the ship was residing presently. The last of the equipment was being loaded and the crew was finally being brought aboard, much to the delight of the skeleton crew manning the new warship.
Armstrong hoped that Athena had sent the new crew with the correct meeting location. He did not want to stand around in the hangar like an idiot. As he entered the hangar, techs were loading the ships fighter compliment and the shuttles. He smiled, his ship was slowly starting to grow some teeth. As he continued to look around, several NSMC marines strood through checking on the equipment. They snapped quick saluted to Conrad as they walked. Conrad was glad to have received a Flotilment attached to the new Joint Datass Task Force.
Conrad tapped his comm device. "Athena... where are they?" He asked slightly annoyed.
"Sir they should be arriving any minute." Athena replied curtly.
"They had better..." He mumbled back.
