The time of the start of the meeting had come and gone as Captain Heris Dvald moved down the hallway towards her destination, her long legs ate the distance quite easily, her bald head and blue skin made her stand out and her blue lab coat covered most of her uniform. Dvald moved into the large briefing area, to find almost two dozen Doctors and nurses waiting for her. "Alright, is everyone here?" she inquired of the crowd before her.

It was Doctor Yamaguchi-Solusar who answered. "Yes Doctor, we're all here," she commented as she held a PADD in her hands, clearly she wished to take notes on the meeting that she knew was going to be an interesting one.

Toshnarr grinned as he opened his mouth, he tossed a large gobstopper into his mouth and crushed it in one smooth motion of his massive jaw while he likewise produced a PADD in his massive oversized looking hands and claws.

Kadian Paris smiled as Dvald nodded to her. "Kadian, would you mind terribly?" Dvald asked of her.

Paris stood up as she stepped over to the master viewscreen. "Good afternoon everyone, thank you for coming..." she addressed the crowd. "The USS Infinity has returned from her mission to the alternate reality and has downloaded a rather large consignment of data on the Halanan species into our computer core, we have been given a simple directive, use that infomation to come up with a cure for the Halanan medical crisis presently raging in this reality," she explained. "So to that end, we're going to break into three groups. I'll be leading one of these groups and we're going to come at this from three separate approaches," she commented. "Teams of five people... Team One will handle the Halanan chronic abortion issues. Team Two will handle the physical issues and Team Three will clean up the chromosome maladies," she explained. "Now this is a big job that should take years at the best of times but I don't need to tell you that we don't have that kind of time... We got the task... because while we may be few, we are the best people for the task, anywhere in the Federation..." Paris explained. "Alright, now before we proceed who wishes to be on what team... Does anyone have any questions?"

Over a dozen hands shot up all at once.

Paris regarded the only Caitian female in the room. "Sokanon?" Paris inquired. "I'll start with you. What's your question?"

"It's nice that we've been asked to save a species, what about our regular duties?" the Ciaitian inquired.

Dvald nodded. "I'll take that one," she commented. "The simple truth is Doctor, Each team will be six people and nobody here needs to participate. I can ask for assistance with the matter from Fleet Admiral Duval should it become needed."

Suddenly a female voice commented. "Sounds good Doctor, if it becomes needed, then please let me know." came the voice of Fleet Admiral Heather Duval who was seated at the back of the room. "Sometimes I like to sit in on these meetings. It saves me so much time, effort and aggravation."

There was silence as Dvald raised an eyebrow, everyone else was unsure of how to react.

Paris nodded. "Anyone who thinks they have the time to participate, your regular assignments will be relocated to someone else and your calendar will be free to assist with this effort," she explained. "Next question?" as she pointed at Hobbs. "Gail, what about you?"

"Is this time-critical... as in does this have to be done RFN?" the older human female inquired.

Paris shook her head. "No, one does not need to work at this for days on end. But it does need to be done right... A species is counting on us to save them..." she commented

Toshnaar's question was next as he inquired about resources and it was Heather Duval who had informed the gathering that they would have whatever they would require to make this effort work, simply inform her and she would make any issues disappear.

Dvald paused as she decided to bring the matter to its obvious conclusion by asking. "Okay, so who will participate and who can't. Nobody will think less of you if you are unable, you can always join in later and help where needed."

Wayne Hawkins nodded. "I'd like to assist in this endeavor, my workload is quite light at the present time." as Wolfsong nodded. "Me too."

Pravdin shook her head. "I can't help, I have a full load already." she sighed. "I can help with other cases if needed," she added.

Yamaguchi-Solusar paused. "My workload is already overflowing, I'm in three different departments and keeping up at present is a full-time effort. I must decline." she paused. "My pregnancy does not assist me with matters either."

Hobbs nodded. "I will participate," she commented as Toshnarr added. "I will as well."

K'Porak raised an eyebrow, in the Vulcan fashion despite the fact that she was a full Klingon. "I will assist as well."

Deepshadow, Doran, and Solin all declined while Courtney Hammond-Brown said that she would assist. Fordring declined as she already had a project of her own she was busy tending to, Dvald's niece who was presently unborn and was in Fordrings permanent care. Sokanon declined while Dauntless said that she would participate.

Dvald looked around at those assembled. "Alright then. Team One will be Paris, Dauntless, Wolfsong and two nurses of your choice." she paused. "Team two will be Hobbs and K'Porak, along with three nurses of your choice." she paused as she watched everyone present writing notes. "Team three is Hammond-Brown, Hawkins, and Toshnarr with two nurses of your choice." she paused as she waited for everyone to catch up with their notes. "Questions with my team layout.?"

There was only one hand and it was Hobbs. "What do we do if we need additional help?" the older human female commented.

"Then you come and see me and I'll ask the Admiral to make the issue go away," Dvald answered with a gentle smile. "Alright, if there is nothing further. you guys in those teams go select whoever you wish to join you with this effort, everyone else, I will send out the new work assignments within the hour and as I said if you need additional help. Let me know." The tall Bolian female paused. "If there is nothing further then this meeting is concluded, dismissed everyone. Thanks for coming." and with that everyone began standing up as they began to depart the briefing room.
