Shedda leaned back against the chair. Her posture was very formal, but she was actually quite relaxed for herself. “Well I’ve followed the Manhattan class design from the beginning. I am very familiar with the science labs and their technology. As a chief science officer I kept up with all of that, even if my ship wasn’t getting it. Part of being in command is being familiar with every department. Not an expert but a working solid foundation of the departments. Manhattan is a much bigger and newer ship than where I served previously and the engineering is so much more modern. So I studied and retook the engineering qualification for the bridge officer’s test.”

Sair nodded. “Has that made you feel more prepared to take on this role then?” she asked. Shedda gravitated towards talking about external things and there was nothing wrong with that, but at some point she wanted to understand the XO’s view on the internal as well. It would help her understand her outlook when it came to executing her duties here.

Shedda pondered, “Some. Part of being XO is making those hard decisions when given choices by your experts. Their lives, careers, their family’s lives are affected by my choices, by the decisions I make. If I’m not educated or experienced enough I can hurt a lot of people. I know I will make mistakes, but I don’t want it to be because I didn’t do what I could to be prepared.”

“What do you do when you comes across something you’re not prepared for, or there was no way to prepare for?” It was a seemingly simple question, and in fact it could be, but everyone was different and more than anything Sair sought to make sure people knew their own reactions so that they could questions their own behaviour, motivations and feelings. Even the most self aware person needed a little reminder and she was only looking to gauge what Shedda might need here herself.
