Cochrane had finally completed what he hoped were all the outstanding and priority needs he had in front of him since assuming command. And that meant the finally got to tick off the first item on his ‘To Do’ list that he had made on the trip to the ship… meet with the XO.

Activating the comms, he said =/\= Commander Creed. When you have a moment, would you please meet me in the Ready Room? Thank you. =/\=

He then went to the replicator and ordered a pot of hot black coffee and two mugs. He sat them on his desk, took a seat, and began reviewing the departmental reports as he waited for the XO to arrive.

Looking at the file in front of him, Faye’s face staring at him as he felt his eyes squinting as he let his mind wander. This revelation could be nothing, but he couldn’t let it slide.

=/\= Commander Creed. When you have a moment, would you please meet me in the Ready Room? Thank you. =/\=

Jack felt himself snap out of the haze as he looked around, the message seemed to be to be at a perfect timing, which in and of itself made part of Jack feel a little paranoid. He monitored all comm traffic and knew that his connection was secure. Deep down he was certain this was all just coincidence but for the past six years ever since he started down this dual path he had trained himself to always be aware of things that seemed out of the ordinary.

=/\= Yes sir, I am on my way. =/\= Creed said as he got up from his chair, looking down at the screen he took a moment as he reached for a nearby PaDD as he began to sync the data up. If this ended up being a big deal he would need to go to the Captain first as it were. He couldn’t do this like some wild maverick.

Captain’s Ready Room

Five minutes later and Ardashir was paging the door, waiting for the Captain to bring him in. Jack let his mind wander for a few seconds before he heard the voice of the Captain, it always seemed a different approach every time he had these conversations.

Creed, XO

“Come in.” came the slightly accented voice of the new Commanding Officer. As the doors opened, Cochrane looked up and saw Creed. “Commander, thank you for coming.” he said and simply gestured to one of the empty seats before the desk.

“Sorry it took so long for us to finally have a chance to talk. No reflection on you, and I hope you don’t feel slighted.”

Cochrane, CO

“It’s alright sir, can’t say it’s been the easiest first few weeks since you came aboard. Between random beasts and Kazon we have had our fill of crazy. Welcome to the Delta Quadrant I guess.” Ardashir said with a wry smirk as he entered the office.

Their time so far in the quadrant had been wild to say the least, few Federation resources so far. It was truly a wild frontier. For decades the Alpha/Beta Quadrants had made contact with many from the Gamma Quadrant due to the Bajoran wormhole. That access point had made life interesting for the fringes of Federation/Cardassian territory. The technology they used now though, while not completely new, was new to them. Outside of Voyager they had little experience here. Even Voyager wasn’t quite sight seeing, much of it was a fight for survival to make it back home.

Still, Jack felt a sense of adventure few in Starfleet had had in such a long time. While new things could always be found in your backyard so to speak, out here was like Lewis and Clark. Much of the reason people join Starfleet was to either serve their Federation, or a chance to explore and experience life that they might not have on their home world. Jack had always been a mix of both, later years had forced him into a play that made him more rigid in his thinking with S.I. and his covert operations. Despite that, or maybe cause of it, Delta Quadrant held a mystique he couldn’t help but feel giddy about.

Taking the seat Jack kept the PaDD he held close. It would come up soon but he knew there was going to be a lot of storytelling, there always was. He often wondered if S.I. made the right choice to make his secondary assignment her a shadow one. Yes he had served in covert deep undercover but his duties didn’t differ too far from a regular XO/CIO. There was a on going assignment on top of the regular duties, a personal one at that, but it wasn’t like he was chasing it every second he could.

“How have you enjoyed yourself so far sir? You didn’t ask for this but… I imagine this has been memorable all the same.” Jack said, he always had a easy charm to him. His tan skin and dark hair to some gave off a mysterious look. Being born to a Persian family he didn’t look too far off everyone he grew up with in Tehran, but to most other humans he was always a bit hard to place. He often was teased for being too handsome by his best friend when he joined Starfleet. Isan always told him if he was going to make it he needed to be more bad ass than the rest, something Jack never fully thought was the case. Jack always found a nice medium, his sister would say it was the Libra in him but he didn’t quite believe in astrological signs.

Creed, XO
