Iphigenia activated the comm, =^=Lieutenant Mavix, please come see me in my ready room.=^= She stood at the window with both hands behind her back as she gazed out of the window.

Henao, CO

Ashara Mavix found herself suddenly struck nervous by the com call, as far as she could tell, her first few weeks aboard the Leviathan had gone quite well, and knowing friends who had gone through the same sort of thing, a private conversation with the Commanding Officer of a Starship didn’t always go the way you wanted to…

Had she done something wrong? Were the crew unhappy with her as CoS? There was only one way to find out… Calming her breathing, she crossed into the CO’s ready room and stood in front of the doorway at attention, “Reportin’ as ordered, ma’am.”

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Iphigenia turned towards Ashara and bid her to come in with the motion of her hand as she also spoke the words, “Please come in, Lieutenant. Have a seat.” Her head and eyes gestured toward an empty chair.

As she sat at her desk, there was a cup of tea sitting there already. The steam could be seen drifting from it as Iphigenia picked it up and took a sip. “Before we get started please feel free to grab yourself a drink from the replicator.”

Henao, CO

Ash turned to the replicator and said quickly, “Decaf Raktajino, dash of Bajoran sweet cream.” As the drink materialised on the replicator pad, Ash found that she couldn’t help herself, “Have… I done something wrong ma’am?”

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Iphigenia looked at the woman, “That statment to me makes me thing you have, Lieutenant Mavix. When I was a little gire and I asked my father If I did something wrong?, he use to tell me, “You have now.” However,” she said with a slight smile, “It is normal to assume that being called into the Captain’s ready room may not always be a good sign. You have better things to do afterall. Isn’t that right?” she took a sip of her tea then said, “I have called you here because I need to do something for me.”

Henao, CO

Ash relaxed a little, letting a quizzical look cross her face, “Well I gotta say ma’am,” she began, “You got me intrigued… How can I help?”

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Ensign Saoir has expressed interest in transitioning out of his transporter duties. He wishes to become a full-time security officer. First I need you to assess his readiness for a full-time security role and second, he will need to be trained on how to handle anomalies on the ship.”

Iphigenia tapped her comm badge and said, “Ensign Saoir, please come to the ready room.” Within minutes Saoir appeared outside the door of the ready room. Iphigenia waved him in.

Henao, CO

When Saoir arrived at the ready room, he noticed his commanding officer, Lieutenant Mavix, and the captain in conversation. When the Captain waved him in he slowly entered the room. “You called Captain?” Saoir asked as he placed both hands behind his back.

Saoir, Transporter NE

Ash turned and regarded the Ensign with a grin, “Howdy Saoir.”

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Saoir gave a quick nod to Iphigenia and Ashara. “Lieutenant Mavix…Captain Henao. May I ask why you summoned me?” He asked in an anxious voice. Both his hands were clasped behind his back.

Saoir, Transporter NE

Iphigenia frowned a little and there was a slight smirk on her face. “Saoir are you nervous? Please sit,” she said as she motioned toward a chair that was near Ashara. “Lieutenant Mavix and I were discussing how we think you would be a great full-time addition to the security team. With Ensign Zallbred’s departure, we are in need of an overnight security officer to make rounds. However before you can take on this role, you will have to do some training with Lieutenant Mavix.” Iphigenia looked at Ashara. “Lieutenant Mavix. Is there anything else you’d like to add?”

Henao, CO

“Hope you’re ready for a lot of running around the ship at the crack a’dawn Mr, I take no prisoners,” she winked good naturedly.

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

“If all I have to do is run, then no problem. I can run quite fast.” Said Saoir proudly. “I am also an early riser. I get up at precise 3am each morning. I have a routine. It keeps me on track and organized.”

Saoir, Transporter Op/Security

Iphigenia nodded but there was a look of concern on her face. She wasn’t sure or she was now second guessing Saoir being apart of the security team. He was a creature of habit. Being on security detail required one to be prepared for the unexpected. Iphigenia cleared her throat then said, “Saoir, have you tried changing your routine just a little bit?” She indicated this with the universal gesture. “You might actually find it more interesting and it can widen your perspective a bit.” She smiled at him and said, “Here is what I want you to do. I want you to break you current routine for just one day and then come back here to my office and tell me how you feel. Okay?”

Henao, CO

“Tell you what Saoir, come join me for a patrol and some point during your routine break and we can see if I feel like you’re ready, how’s that sound?”

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Saoir nodded, “Thank you for offering me the opportunity to join you for a patrol during my routine break. I appreciate your willingness to assess my readiness for whatever task lies ahead. I am open to taking on the challenge and proving my capabilities to you, sir.”

Saoir, Transporter NE

Iphigenia nodded as well, “I believe that participating in a patrol will provide a practical and hands-on experience, allowing you to gauge the necessary skills firsthand. It’s an excellent opportunity for you to demonstrate your readiness and dedication to the task at hand.”
Iphigenia looked at Ashara and said, “She may look nice and have that southern like charm that my home state on Earth is known for, but I assure you, Saoir, you must come prepared. Ashara is not going to go easy on you. She reminds me of Rouge from the X-Men” she said with a smile.

Henao, CO

“The… X-Men ma’am?” Ash was sure the name sounded familiar, but she could not recall from where.

-Lieutenant Ashara Mavix: Chief of Security-

Iphigenia furrowed her brows, trying to figure out the best way to explain the reference to Ashara. After a moment of contemplation, she finally replied, “They are a group of superheroes from a popular comic book series and several movies way back in the 20th century. They each had unique powers and abilities and fought for justice and were committed to protecting those who were like themselves. Rogue, specifically, was a member of the X-Men with the ability to absorb the life force, memories, and powers of others through physical contact. Your likeness reminds me of her.” Iphigenia tapped her PaDD as she searched for content, then sent a picture to Ashara’s PaDD. Iphigenia smiled and said, “I actually cosplayed her one year for a costume event I attended while I was in school.”

Henao, CO

They seem like a fierce and admirable group of individuals, Captain. Saoir chimed in. “Does any of them remind you of me?”

Saoir, Transporter Op/Security
