HADESNRPG: HADESRPG: (7 - 1346) FO, Cmdr. Keira Merek

[Todd Holladay]

Happy to do it. CO's are busy, part of my job is to take the small fish off
your plate. And I actually have some experience on how organizations such
as Starfleet deal with journalists. That will follow when the pleasantries
are out of the way.
