Subj: Orion Infiltration Assignment
Ensign,
I apologize for assigning you to a mission before we’ve even had a chance to sit down and talk about you, your career, and your goals, but needs must.
Captain Lunya Vel of the Forrestal and her chief medical officer, Dr. Jeiliscia Valusia, are embarking on a risky undercover mission to stop the Valusia family syndicate from manufacturing a dangerous drug in Federation space. I would have preferred to send CAPT Vel and LCDR Valusia undercover with an intelligence officer but, for the mission to be a success and to delay suspicion of their true motives, they must proceed alone.
Nevertheless, they are somewhat inexperienced. I would like you to provide whatever support they need until their insertion into the Valusia syndicate, and then subsequently support CMDR zh’Vhenda, who is responsible for extraction. Your job, to the best of your ability, is to make sure that proper intelligence procedures are followed and that the mission stays as dark as possible.
I am aware that this is a lot of responsibility so early in your career, but I am also sure you can handle it.
