[snip]Iliana chuckled and nodded as she ordered a latte. “I know, it really isn’t but I blame my academy roommate for it, that girl had coffee flowing through her veins and she got me hooked!” Iliana replied with a grin as she took a sip. “We should have an unpacking party?” she offered with a giggle.
“Let’s do it,” Allison responded, including her own smirk and giggle. “With a few of these, we should both be unpacked in no time,” she commented, holding up her espresso in a mock cheers fashion, hoping the Bajoran was aware of the custom.
Iliana giggled as she clinked their cups together, something else she had learned from her academy friends. “Deal!” she said as she took another slurp.
Tenzing appeared moments later with a steaming mug of hot chocolate. He never caught on to coffee except during his time on the Einstein (where sleep was scarce), though he was known to be caught with a bottle of tea once every so often. The newly promoted officer straightened out his shirt before taking a seat in his usual spot closer to the CO. The two new department heads would notice that Trainor, being 22, was a tad young for his rank.
“I’m Tenzing Trainor.” He called out to Devlin and Kara.
Trainor Operations
Kara set her coffee mug down and eagerly extended her hand. “Lt Kara, pleased to meet you sir,” she said warmly, as she raised an eyebrow at the young man as she noticed how young he looked. “So are you new to the ship as well Lt Cmdr?” she asked curiously.
Tenzing shook his head and returned the handshake. “I was originally assigned here to assist the crew with a mission, but was picked to stay on.” The Ops Officer knew Kara was curious about his backstory, but felt the thought of his past would be too much to bare since he was the only one to either survive or fully recover.
OPS
Kara opened her mouth to reply as the Captain spoke, so she just mouthed ‘talk later,’ to Trainor as she was keen to make some new friends.
Drudoc turned back from her quiet thoughts to address her assembled staff. “..Alright everyone let’s take seats we got a busy briefing to get through and given its nature I want everyone to be able to prep your departments ahead of our launch..” She said.
Drudoc Andone CO
Kara picked her cup up and dutifully retook her seat, turning her attention to the Captain. She was relieved that she wasn’t the only new face at the table, there was nothing worse than being the only newbie.

Allison followed Kara back to the table and slid back into her seat next to her. She did feel slightly more alert as she sipped the highly caffeinated beverage, but the chair was awfully comfortable. She shook herself slightly, twinging with embarrassment that she might have to struggle to stay awake at this highly important briefing.
Lieut (j.g.) Devlin, COS
As everyone took their seat Drudoc went to the head of the table pressing a button on the table to have the holo projection unit in the middle light up with a galactic map. Highlighted were the spheres of influence of known races to the Federation for the Beta Quadrant much though was still blank in explored areas. “..This as you can all see is the known and unknown regions for the Beta Quadrant over the past 200 years all known species in its area have probed its depths. For us that same mission is renewed today, we’re to be assigned at least a years long mission of exploration, discovery, and if needed first contact with any warp capable species we encounter. Along the way we will be out of regular contact with Starfleet and its support so as such we need to be on our toes more so than usual..” She said letting things sink in a moment.
Kara gulped as she heard the details of their mission. She hadn’t had much time to prepare for this assignment and although she knew it was a long mission, somehow hearing it spoken out loud seemed to make it feel so much longer. Her thoughts drifted briefly to home and not seeing her adoptive family for probably over a year but she put it behind her as she thought of the excitement of meeting new species, the scientific wonders she could discover and the new friends she was already making.
”..Our first target system is called UES-1229 a deep space probe passed by there showing at least one habitable world. We’re to check the system out then complete a full survey for Exploration Command back on Earth..” She said. “..Our orders are flexible enough for me to make decisions in the moment. Questions?” She asked.

Kara thought for a moment. “Do we know how detailed the scans were Captain? Did they detect any signs of life or was it just a basic composition scan?” she asked, a little nervous to be the first one to speak.
