Bethany left the captain and made her way to meet the XO. She had saved this meeting for the very end, so she would have time. The CO may run the ship and make the big decisions but it was the XO who handled the day to day details. It was also the XO who would head up most away teams and it was be imperative that they could work smoothly together, and that started with effort and cooperation and a clear understanding of what the XO expected of her. Finally reaching the door to the XOs office, Gadi paused, took a half second to clear her mind and rang the chime.

Almost instantly a voice from the other side of the door called, “Enter.”

Bethany would find herself in an office that - at least furniture-wise - looked like a very standard office. Even the half unpacked moving box was probably to be expected considering that Siadra had arrived not too long ago herself. Two large, framed photos were resting against one of the walls, clearly waiting to be put up. A few mementos were scattered on the coffee table. In fact the only thing that definitely seemed to have found a permanent home was a picture frame on her desk that opened like a book. One half held an image of Liara in a ballet outfit and the other held one of Kaileni and a very pregnant Siadra; a photo that also had a place on a side table in her quarters. The other noticeable thing was that there were a few toys scattered around the room.

The First Officer herself was sitting behind her desk, working her way through a stack of PaDDs while her daughter had fallen asleep on the couch with an actual picture book lying next to her. Looking up from her work and rising to her feet, Siadra greeted the new Chief of Security with a warm smile. “Welcome Commander. Please have a seat,” she said and gestured towards the chairs in front of her desk. “May I get you something from the replicator?”

Bethany came in and took it all in quickly while returning the smile. Her foot falls adjusting to a softer and smother gait than her normal and her voice dropped, not a whisper, but a tone that would be on a lower register and soothing as to not wake up the sleeping child. “Please. I didn’t stop for food, and all I’ve had is coffee, so how about a strawberry smoothie.” Bethany moved easily, missing the toys on the floor and sat down at a chair in front of the desk.

“Sure,” Siadra replied as she turned towards the replicator to get the smoothie for Bethany and an iced, unsweetened herbal tea for herself. Placing both beverages on the desk between them and settled back don in her chair. “How are you doing? I hope you had a safe journey here?” Siadra asked with sincere interest before taking a sip of her iced tea.
