"Okay", he said, tapping his combadge. "Howlet to Transporter room. Transport Commander Keqing, Lieutenant Commander Nami and Commander Lunamaria Hawke to from sickbay directly to their respective quarters when ready", he requested.
"I will contact you three shortly for that meeting, but otherwise, get some rest", he suggested. "Thank you for the assistance, doctor. You will be expected in the briefing room shortly as well", he said, before leaving and heading over to the bridge.

"Attention everyone... emergency meeting in the briefing room in 30 minutes tops for all senior officers. Contact your divisions for a temporary replacement for the duration of the meeting, which should be no longer than an hour, likely closer to half an hour tops. We'll get started as soon as everyone is there", he requested, before tapping his combadge.
"This is Captain Howlet to the colonists leader Jirad Stephens. Emergency meeting in my briefing room in 30 minutes tops. The matter discussed requires your attention, so please join us shortly."

James headed over as well as soon as the officers taking over had made it to the bridge, after which he joined his senior officers in the briefing room to wait for Jirad, while sending a message via his PADD to Luna, Keqing and Nami to confirm their readiness for said meeting.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Stephens. Commander Keqing, Lieutenant Commander Nami and Commander Lunamaria Hawke will be attending this meeting vocally only due to the circumstances of our earlier mission on the planet's grounds", he said, as he quickly set up the connection for the girls to join them.
"Alright. As you may know, we have proceeded to perform a scan of the planet's flora and fauna upon arrival. From what we discovered then, it seems that lifeforms would not be an issue to settling down on this planet; they are few and far between, and most of them are not a threat to most sentient species' lives", he explained.
"However, scans reported lots of potentially troublesome plants essentially loaded with natural chemicals which could affect most sentient species, some of which potentially harmful, others... significantly annoying, to put it mildly. We put together an Away Team including myself and our three currently physically absent senior officers and headed down on the surface to have a look in person."
He frowned. "...While the planet seems to have abundant resources necessary to establish a colony, and despite being careful in our investigation, my team fell victim within minutes to one of those plants' chemicals, disabling all three of them for an entire hour, during which they were basically at the mercy of the elements, other potentially harmful plants, and what fauna might otherwise have been harmless", he explained. "That is without mentioning the ion storm which prevented communications for the duration in question, which we will have to look into as well in order to analyze the likely frequency and intensity of if we are to establish a colony."
He folded his hands on the table. "My point is, I'm beginning to believe that this planet is potentially a threat to the future colony", he concluded his little introduction. "Mr. Stephens... I wish to know more details about Starfleet's intentions in setting up a colony here, of all places?" 10 in Technology to get everything set up for the meeting with the girls.

"The purpose is excavation... We believe this world used to be inhabited by an advanced civilization at some point in the past."

James sighed, frowning. "So... it has to be this planet specifically then. You understand that settling down a colony down there will likely expose you and your people to an untold number of potentially troublesome and unknown chemicals, potentially on a daily basis..." he pondered.
"Commander Hawke, I'd like your personal opinion. Given the data we scanned from the planet, the information recovered from our tricorders... do you believe establishing a colony here will be possible, and safe? Perhaps through use of sealed suits if need be", he pondered.

There was a pause. "It's possible, it would require extra precautions, but I think it's doable."

James nodded silently, thinking about the situation for a moment.
"...I see. Thank you, Commander", he said, taking a deep breath. "...Very well. If it can be done, then I suppose we must proceed. I want a strict set of security directives to be established and followed to the letter for the duration of the colony's establishment, and for your people's safety, Mr. Stephens, I encourage you to follow them from then on. The specifics of said directives will be agreed upon by you, myself, Dr. Ludwig, and Commander Hawke in a later meeting, after the latter had time to recover from our expedition to the surface, so tomorrow at the earliest, after which we will be able to begin establishing the colony", he explained.
"...Lieutenant Commander Fubuki, may I count on your services with your fellow senior officers in the next few days? I imagine this... encounter... may have been quite troubling for them", he pondered.

"Just, uh, maybe ask them first. They may not be in the mood for visitors today", he noted. "Very well... if there's no questions, then that will be all, thank you for your time. Mr. Stephens, Commader Hawke, Dr. Ludwig, tomorrow's meeting will be at 0900. Dismissed", he concluded, getting up as well and returning to the bridge to relieve the command officer of their temporary duty.

As you leave Jirad sees the pistol on your hip.
"Where did you find that?" He asks out of curiousity pointing at the ruined weapon on your hip.
