Starr smiled in response “Well, when it is always good to be prepared at all times, you never know when something could happen. Chief or no chief, we have a job to do, it shouldn’t make a difference. Welcome aboard chief.” he replied. “And it’s true, sneaking on a ship isn’t as easy as sneaking off one.” he joked.

“Depends on the ship,” Nijix countered.

She had successfully snuck off her own Cadet ship once before. The task was tedious and took far too much energy, but she enjoyed the adrenaline. It made her feel alive in the end. Eventually though, her CoS and fellow cadets got wise to her methods. She couldn’t help, but smile at the times they caught her trying to bypass their security. Pride glowed from her core from it.

Her eyes jerked up to spot the XO’s approached down the hall.

Max grumbled as he walked quickly towards the airlock. Why were Captain’s always trying to sneak on board the ships. He wasn’t a stickler for protocol, but he hated it worse then finding out that the new Captain was sitting on the bridge wondering where he was at. Thankfully he had talked to the duty officer on the Starbase, and they had given him a heads up on when the new Captain was coming aboard.

As he turned the corner he saw the Captain already standing on the ship. Slowing down slightly he approached them.

“Captain, welcome aboard,” he said coming to a stop in front of the group.

Cmdr. Harkness - XO

Starr stood at attention when Harkness arrived, keeping his face as straight as possible, as he rushed around the corner. It wasn’t easy and a very slight smile appeared as the XO spoke, before he quickly snapped back into attention. “Hi, sir, as the new chief of security is also coming aboard, thought it would be proper that one of the security staff are here, has Casen already departed?” he asked.

“Relax Cadet, you are perfectly fine. We’d have to check with the duty officer on if the Lieutenant has departed yet or not, but I believe so.”

As the cadet resumed his alert posture, so did Nijix. Unlike the CO, who’s personality she had profiled earlier, the XO was a mystery still to file away. She folded her arms behind her back while she faced her second superior. Her expression showed no emotion aside from professional.

“Lt. Nijix Tavium reporting for duty. We both didn’t want to delay getting to our duties onboard so we avoided any formality and procotl. I hope you can understand, Sir,” She soothly attempted to cover over their decision to sneak on board rather than follow procedure.

Max just smirked and shook his head. He highly doubted that they were eager to get to their duties.

“Well welcome aboard then Lieutenant. I’m glad to see that you are so eager to start your duties, so I should not delay you then. Cadet, would you please escort the Lieutenant to her office, and get her acquainted with the charlie shift duty staff. Alpha shift should be coming on duty in a few hours, and I’m sure she would like to get caught up before then,” Max said trying to put a sincere smile on his face. Two could play at this game.

Cmdr. Harkness - XO

“Yes, sir” Starr replied, as Harkness and the captain departed. “So, welcome to the challenger, chief, let’s see if Casen is ready to give up his office yet” he smiled, and gestured for the chief to accompany him to the security office.

In Nijix’s mind, Raji stepped forward and sized the XO up. A small smile etched across his face before he turned to her. If it wasn’t for a fact the Trill before her was purely a figment of her imagination, she would’ve smacked the confident smirk right off his face.

“I like this man,” He commented, pleased with the interaction.

“Shut up, you’re not helping,” She teased back.

Raji merely increased his smile and laughed, fading away from her attention.

Her hand adjusted her bag then turned to the CO. Nijix flashed her superior an apologetic smile. It would be obvious to both of them, she had tried. The XO was difficult man to read as she moved past him and followed the younger Cadet. She waited until she until she was out of ear shot before she replied.

“If he isn’t, I’m sure I could arm wrestle him away from it. It wouldn’t be the first time I have had to do that,” Nijix chuckled in amusement.
