It was that time, one of Shedda’s favorite parts of her job and one of her worst. Crew evaluations. Shedda enjoyed mentoring and helping the crew she served with reach their goals, find new ones, over come failure and celebrate success. Of course sometimes, depending on the person that might be reversed: celebrate failure and over come success.

It was also a struggle, especially with such a large crew. Shedda tried to at least be able to put a name with every face. How could she possibly evaluate anyone if she didn’t know them? That’s what DH reviews were for she knew, but it felt so impersonal.

Today was that day though, and there were approximately 600 crew members on board. It would take a few days to go through them all. Shedda was interested to see how Sair measured the success of an individual. Sair had done so much for her people, made a huge life altering progress for her entire species. She liked Sair, found her to be a wonderful counselor and, if Shedda was inclined to such things, a good friend. Shedda knew it would be just as interesting to see how their approaches melded as seeing the accomplishments and growth of each crew member. At 0900 she arrived promptly and pressed the chime on Sair’s office.

“Come in,” Sair called out, her melodic voice sounding soft today.

The office was much as it had been before, with its sitting area to one side and her work area on the other, and the mika tree standing guard at the door. Sair was sitting on the sofa with a pile of PADDs and the round coffee table had a platter of fruit, vegetables and other small bites they could pick at while they worked. Sair sipped from a steaming mug of something sweet smelling. In the background an energetic string instrument sounded though it was the kind of music that could easily blend away into nothing.

Gazing up, Sair smiled and tucked her lilac hair behind an ear. “Good morning, Commander, I think I have everything I need to do this with you, but I’ll admit that I’m not used to evaluations on this scale. An intern or medical student here and there, sure, but nothing so formal. Starfleet does like its reports, doesn’t it?”

Shedda puffed out a breath. “That’s an understatement. I’m reminded of Chesty Puller who said, ‘Paperwork will ruin any military force.’ That’s how I feel about these. I love using them to see how the crew is growing and what they are up to, but if it were real paper rather than files in the computer, I think the Manhattan would be too heavy to take off.” She grabbed a seat and set her coffee, that she got from her own replicator, on the round table and looked at the list on her PaDD. “How do you want to do this, by rank, department, alphabetical?”

That was a good question. “To be honest, I don’t know. Maybe by department, and then by rank? NCOs first , then officers?” Fortunately they could have the computer sort everyone for them. It was a good thing she and her mother had worked out the next few days because she had a feeling she was going to be exhausted by the end of it. She wasn’t sure how Koro would handle it though, as he’d been rather clingy lately.

Shedda nodded, “Sounds good to me. Let’s start with Operations and then Engineering.” =/\=Computer pull up the Operations department crew roster, order by rank from enlisted first to commissioned officers. Send the list to our PaDDs=/\= The computer beeped, trilled and then double beeped when it was ready. Shedda looked at it, “Alright fist is Private Cal-aivary.”
