Captain John Barstow sat in the chair of his guest quarters with a sigh as he read the PADD that had been waiting for him along with a new MCU, or Marine Combat Uniform, set had the rank of Colonel affixed to it. He sat the PADD down on the armrest of the chair, "well then," he said to himself and rubbed his chin as he stood and pulled his own MCUs out of his bag, "computer, encrypt personal log, restrict to level five, Alpha two access and begin recording," he ordered as he started to strip out of his Starfleet Captains uniform.

It took and extra few seconds before the computer chirped ready, "Captains log, stardate two three zero six point zero nine," he started as he pulled the snow camouflage MCU pants on, "I arrived at Starbase three six five as ordered, however, immediately on arrival I was greeted with an eyes only message and change of uniform. To give the short version, Captain Barstow will be staying on base for a security conference classified top secrete, which means he'll be unavailable, while Colonel Barstow reports to Marine Camp Falkirk for assignment after duty beyond the edges of known space," he said as he walked over to the new uniform that had been laid out for him and pulled the rank insignia off and pinned it to his own tunic before tossing the garment over the nearby chair and pulling on a white tank top then a white t-shirt.

"The orders were curt, but clear. I am to tell no one and am to report to Marine country on base to catch the next personnel transport. Given that it seems like they want me to blend in I've opted to use my own MCU rather than the shiny new one that looks like it's never been worn let alone worn by a line grunt," he said with a chuckle as he pulled on his tunic, but leaving it unfastened, and sitting down to pull on his boots, "I wish they'd given me more to go on, but, after my previous lines of work I'm used to this. I just hope that this mission is a lot less unsavoury than I've had to do in the past."

John stood and looked around quickly before pulling out a heavy jacket and collecting his doctored transfer orders, "it's time to go, computer, end log," the Colonel ordered before quickly walking out....
