Location: Marine Command Center
Timeline: Slight Backpost.

Byrne had stuck his head out of the private rooms of sickbay to look at Bianca and speak a terse command "Colonel Jason Frost, USMC. Find him, where-ever he is in the galaxy and get him here either on comms or in person. I don't care who you have to go through or bribe, but do it Immediately."

Aaron disappeared and Bianca, struck by the command and the tension in the words nodded tersely. "Computer what is the current duty assignment of Colonel Jason Frost."

"Colonel Frost is located on the USS Dreadnought, Marine Deck. Command Offices." Her elegant eyebrows raised and Bianca laughed, a sound that echo'd in the room even after she'd departed for the marine deck.

Bianca Donati had served with the Marines early in her career, before a catastrophic injury had led her to the Medical Career, and a more sedentary lifestyle than the one she'd been accustomed to. She strode onto the Marine deck with a sense of purpose, and wasn't challenged until she reached the steps that led up to the Command Offices. She took them two at a time, until she stood beside the desk that precluded entry to the actual office of the Marine Commander. She was inwardly pleased that she wasn't even breathing hard after the exertion of the run down here.

"I need to speak the Colonel, on a personal matter of the utmost urgency."

Sam was just walking out of her office and saw Bianca. "Bianca." It was a surprise seeing her here. "Is everything alright?" Hinting that she'd not heard Bianca's initial request.

Bianca's eyes brightened as she saw Sam "Sam?" The intial tone was questioning but then seeing she was fully in uniform she continued as she had been. "Sam, thank the Rings it's you and not some hardhead. I need to speak to Colonel Frost, quite urgently."

Tag Sam

Jack had heard voices, but Sam's was the one that drew his attention. Something about her tone, how she spoke just tugged at him. The doors to his office opened as he approached and he saw the Major with another officer. "Is something the matter here?"

Bianca glanced over, saw the rank at his shoulder and straightened automatically in a gesture that spoke of years of corps training despite the blue uniform she wore. "Colonel Frost?"

"I am." Jack spoke. "And you are?" Eyeing the woman in front of him that seemed to be the source of the commotion.

"Doctor Bianca Donati sir. " She answered crisply, the barest hint of good humor in her dark eyes. "I've been sent by Dr. Bryne to fetch you to sickbay by any means necessary sir. "

"For what purpose?" Jack asked, curious as to why he'd been summoned.

"There is an event occurring, that he assured me you would not want to miss." She took two steps forward so she was just enough in his personal space that when she next spoke she would not be broadcasting his personal information to everybody in the room. Pitching her voice a little lower she spoke again "Dr Thomas has been in labor for the better part of 48 hours. Your presence is required, immediately."

Jack practically shoved the two women aside and in a mad dash for the door nearly took another off his feet. Acacia was in labour and nothing short of a war was going to stop him from getting to Sickbay as fast as he could. It didn't occur to him to get transported there, he simply heard the news and took off swiftly.

Sam recovered but only just in time to spare herself from being bowled over. "Not seen him move like that in years." That, was a man on a mission and nothing it seemed was going to stop him.
