Re: "Senior Staff"

Soooo, hypothetically, if I had 3 underlings in the Science department, we would all show up to the briefing room? You do see how crazy that sounds, right?

Typicallt, there would be elements of the briefing that would come with instructions not to brief our departments on until the time came, but if they were in attendance, there's no secrecy. It also eliminates your departmental flight briefings that happen at shift change.

I mean, technically, the Senior Staff meet each morning, but that's too much to incorporate in our writing format. I see where it speeds things up, but it also discourages the additional writing and interaction within th departments. Your ship means your rules, so I'll write as if it is normal, but it will and should cause chain of command issues during the briefing...which might be entertaining. Case in point: The CO asks if there are any questions. Immediately, all the Ensigns fire a barrage of questions at the CO, while all the experienced department heads do a face palm and try to ask about important stuff. In character, there will be tons of things the new troops won't know to expect. This doesn't mean there won't be valid questions, it just means you're potentially saying there are 20 or more people in the briefing.
