I think Marika would have liked to have someone she could trust on the bridge, but that wasn;t really an option; with a full crew, you'd have a few junior officers who could run the ship (the Officer of the Deck, in USN parlance), while the command team is in a meeting, but she didn't have that here. On the other hand, she had to have the meeting, and needed everyone in the meeting there.
Not a lot of good options there.
