ILLUMINARNRPG: ILLUMINARRPG: Repost (1-1941)- CO- Captain Sekal

[Charles Gatling]

There is an error or two in this post but I'm not reposting it again.

Note that the last rotation aboard had occurred at Vulcan not Mars.

Also Sienna was listed as originally being inside the room but has an
appointment at 2000. This has spanned a number of hours and it can be
logically noted that she has since departed. So the member of command
available can be extrapolated now as Sekal who is standing outside the room
so as not to interfere in medical affairs.

Cheers!

Charles Gatling
Commanding Officer
USS Illuminar
NCC 61240
