Morning comes the next day as as Keqing gives you a small pair of remotes... one labeled V, and the other labeled C. "Use these when you want us to REALLY have some fun Nyaa." She winked before leaving to return to her duty.

"I can make a guess, but... not gonna tell me the details, commander? It could be key to avoiding... an embarrassing situation", he said with an amused smile.

"V is for vibe, C is for Catnip nyaa." She whispered in your ear.

"Good thing I asked. The latter could be an issue at the wrong time", he pondered. "But I'll be sure to try it under more appropriate circumstances", he said playfully.

She nodded and kissed you before returning to duty.

He smiled as he did the same.
In his case, getting ready for the meeting with Mr. Stephens, Commander Hawke and Dr. Ludwig at 9 AM.

James greeted his two officers and the colonists' leader.
"Very well, looks like we're all here. As you know, the point of this meeting is to decide upon the security measures to be taken by colonists and my crew alike until the colony is well on its way to being established, given the environment we are facing", he stated as he reached for his PADD, checking it for notes.
"...We do not know for a fact how our Away Team was exposed to the effects of the local flora, but they were affected despite the use of one of my abilities to create a localized, personal atmosphere free of environmental hazards such as breathable gases and the like, which draws me to the conclusion that whatever affected them might have been more a matter of physical contact with... perhaps spores, or pollen, or some other such contaminant", he explained.
"Now, call me overly careful, but at the moment, I'm thinking anyone working down there should be in full EVA suit* with each team including at least one member the Medical division. Thoughts?" OOC: *EVA suits, in case you are not familiar, being essentially spacesuits, but also used commonly in other hazardous environments for safety.

"That is... logical." Luna said visibly uncomfortable.
"I agree as well." Ludwig says.
The leader of the colonists agrees as well.

James raised an eyebrow, glancing at Luna. "Is something the matter, commander? You... seem unwell."

"WHY DON"T YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!" She snapped before catching herself, and quickly leaving.

"...I... believe that will conclude this morning's meeting? ...Dr. Ludwig, may I count on you to handle the preparations for the proper protection equipment, and inform our medical officers of the task at hand? Feel free to ask for assistance from Commander Keqing if necessary. Mr. Stephens, please inform your colonists of the procedures to follow and begin the final preparations to begin transporting both colonists and materials to the planet's surface under the directives of my officers", he explained, getting up. "Meeting adjourned."
"Meanwhile, I'll go see what the matter is with my Chief Science Officer", he said, heading over to her quarters to ring at her door.

After a couple minutes of the cold shoulder Luna answers the door. "Captain, I apologize for that outburst, but with all due respect... I must return to Vulcan ASAP." She said trembling.

James raised an eyebrow, more than eager to hear her side of the story, as it was neither in her nature nor her habit to either snap at anyone, nor to suddenly request a potentially mission-endangering last second change.
"Commander, I... imagine that after this little... unexpected response earlier, you will forgive me for asking why, and potentially also, why you didn't say anything until now if it is so urgent", he said as calmly as he could manage. 8 in Statecraft (Persuade, Diplomacy, Captain) to try and get some answers without triggering her.

"Follow me." She said leading you inside. "The only other one who knows this is Dr. Ludwig, so I expect this to remain confidential." She said taking a deep breath. "I don't know exactly how to explain it, but to but it in the simplest of terms... Whatever I was exposed to on the planet's surface has triggered a premature state of what we Vulcans call... Pon Far."
