Nep'Til sector Archeology discovery mission plan.

Admiral Chakotay sat with Wilton Cloudt-Eagle , they were discussing the archeology discovery via sensors on the Esperanza. Wilton sipped coffee and said, "here you see the spike in all the sensors, the exact spike of energy steady with each drone sensor probes. And, here is the ground penetrating sensors put together, twenty four hours of the data , it is amazing, the city is there, pretty much as the Native people told us. "  

Chakotay looked over the data again, and sipped coffee ☕️ too, he made notes for the initial landing party where to set up the camp base, and the archeology base offices. He sent a message to the engineer design replication for the camp hooches and the offices which would be beamed down , then assembled by the workers. Rubbing his chin, he looked up at Cloudt-Eagle, smiled and said, "Are you going to lead it?"

Wilton smiled and said, " I will be the CnC on the ship, Lieutenant Creed will be the team leader on planet."

Chakotay nodded. "We will have the MACOs for security, and a fighter wing with Endo-exo craft , because the locals keep saying that the Ancient foe could return if we inadvertently set off their security systems, and we know what happened last time we had company. "

Wilton nodded, he looked up as the ships Android entered the ready room, "Wilton, here are the final reports, stores and Intel you requested. " Cloudt-Eagle's face blushed slightly, Ranza the android was the image of his long lost F deceased wife Esperanza. This ship and her android were named for her.  

Chakotay knew this and he was not concerned by the ships AI referring to her Captain by his given name. 

Wilton looked over the reports signed them and Ranza excused herself.  

Wilton turned to apologize. Chakotay put up his hand. "Nothing to explain, the computer techs told me about how Ranza cannot be programmed to forget your wife's memories and that her memories her knowledge is critical to the Esperanza."  

Wilton rose and poured them two fingers of whiskey. Handed Chakotay one. He returned to his chair. "It has taken me years to get used to seeing her, be reminded daily that my Esperanza died... maybe, still listed as missing in action." He sipped the strong whiskey. His long black hair neatly arranged with a band holding it in place.

Chakotay nodded, "It can't be easy my friend. " He sipped his drink and watched Wilton's face, his native features tired , wrinkles around his eyes from loss ,grief and duty.

Two old friends sitting planning a mission and drinking fine Clyde Mays Whiskey. 

Wilton pulled up more holo images and continued to show Chakotay where the City underground Cave opening was. "This is the safest entrance, we're enhancing it with stabilizers, and also putting in medical stations, security and mess-halls along with Transporter stations. "

Chakotay looked over each step. The two continued their work. The fire 🔥 crackled in the fire place, they wrote orders for multiple departments and updated the protocol for the mission.
