Captain Jerry McArthur put down his log recorder and looked around the bustling bridge. Around him was first officer Robert J. "Bob" Halliwell. At the conn, there was the Vulcan Synok at the helm and the Andorian Lieutenant Cras at the security console, bickering with George Travis, the MACO detachment CO, on infiltration strategies.
