C-047: Maldemar 732 (Holding in N-space at Adal), Control

fyi, Oliver does have the relevant skills at levels that indicate proficiency to be Comms/Sensor operator on a starship so you don’t have to imagine him unskilled if you don’t wish to.  His training in Electronic Operations (Communications) includes proper communications procedures.

His response would typically include the ship’s identification (Maldemar 732) as requested by the carrier – would you like me to assume he included that or go with what he said verbatim?
