Karina was moving down the corridor at a clipped pace. She had started out just walking, getting used to the ship. Being seen and available. She was the bridge between the crew and command and she wanted the crew to feel they could approach her. She’d been way laid multiple times by various officers and crew. She turned her head to talk to a young crewman who was having trouble figuring out the layout of the ship and kept getting lost even with the computer’s help. It was simply a matter of nerves. She stopped and turned to talk to the ensign a few moments. After the ensign left she turned back around, not quite looking where she was going.

Jordar was making his way down the corridor, knowing exactly where to go and didn’t have time to waste. Ok truth be told he absolutely did have the time as his duty shift had ended but he walked as though his purpose was mighty and important. Keeping himself to the left of the corridor he made his way, a PaDD periodically taking his attention but he looked up every so often to make sure no bumbling buffoon was going to get in his way. He looked down again at the PaDD.

Karina turned back, the turn putting her towards the middle of the corridor, something she tried to avoid, to avoid traffic problems, but the ensign had another question about finding his way around the ship. She stepped over and showed him the controls, again. She made note to have the ship’s counselor check on the young man. After making sure the ensign was on the turbo lift she turned back in the direction she was going, and turned right into a very tall, very solid security ensign. She took a half step back and looked up, and up a bit more. “I apologize, ensign.”

Jordar looked up and spun himself to the side, parallel to the wall so as to not bump into the officer when he puffed up and said, “Instead of giving me useless platitudes how about you save them for someone who cares and watch where you’re going instead. These corridors are plenty wide Commander.” Jordar stood there, wondering if the woman would respond in kind or go running to complain about him like most.

Jordar, Sec

Karina stopped, looked him up and down and noticed the webbed hand, her eyes lighting up. He was Zaldan. Her day just got exceptionally better. “How about you learn to get your head out of whatever drivel is on that PaDD and look around you, Ensign. Be glad you got a platitude, next time it’ll be the brig if you can’t keep your bumbling hulk of a body out of my way.”
Lt Cmdr Enger, XO

So either she was onboard or she was making a big mistake. Either way this would be fun and honest. “My drivel? Commander not all of us are graced with the ability to read minds and project our thoughts. Perhaps a refresher on the crew compliment and what our recent missions are and the reports aren’t to your liking but I wouldn’t think day to day operations on the vessel would count as drivel.” He replied to the Cairn, not knowing actually if they were telepathic in that sort of way or not. “As for the platitudes? I’d rather take the brig than the disingenuous words of those that wish to make me ‘feel better’. How about in the future I stare straight ahead and you perhaps can do the same?”

Jordar, Sec

“Good to know you read important reports while traveling the halls recklessly rather than where you can fully focus on them. I expect that official reports be given your full attention. Perhaps your brain got fried and overwhelmed at being assigned to a battle ship and you’re playing catch-up? Trust me Ensign if I was projecting to you, you’d know it.” Of course she couldn’t project to him. Cairn could only communicate with other telepaths. They could, if they focused pick up surface thoughts but the way other minds were organized made them very confusing and difficult read and didn’t work often. Karina was having a blast. It was so refreshing. “I can do the same, but then if I did that, I wouldn’t see you, now would I?”

“Commander it’s a novel concept called ‘multitasking’ perhaps your holier than thou attitude can be taken down a notch or two? I did say refresher didn’t I?” He was being half belligerent but half matter of fact. He knew that the Cairn found auditory communication difficult and was trying to make a point, but he was also just being his usual blunt self. “My brain is fried? Looks like I’m the only one who could find the correct side of a corridor to walk down and make an attempt not to barrel into his crewmates.” He said, a smile growing as he was throughly enjoying this conversation. There was something about this officer that was indeed refreshing and honest, a first for him in Starfleet it seemed. “You could but you wouldn’t see me? How would that be any different than what just happened? You seem to have a way of moving about your co-workers like a targ in a bat’leth shop.”

Jordar, Sec

Karina was grinned at this point. “Well multitasking is apparently out of your skill set as well. Otherwise you wouldn’t have been caught in that ion storm. Apparently working the multiple controls on a shuttle control panel is too much for you. At least we were able to find out way AROUND the Ion storm till we had to save you.” She had to take another step back though, her neck was getting a crick from looking up at him. “Well, ensign, you might come down from your tall…” oh this was disappointing, of course now she couldn’t remember the word,”…pedestal. I think even with my holier than thou attitude I can’t reach the heights you have reached.” Time to poke the bear a bit as the saying went, but it was meant in good fun. “Should us little people bow down and sing your praises?”

Jordar let a chuckle leave his lips, a genuine display of his humor that might be taken poorly by the wrong person should they be watching the conversation. “A big old battleship with a large crew all with independent jobs working as cogs in the machine to steer this lumbering beast around an ion storm? What ever will they think of next? Multiple people easily able to do their one job. Who would have thought.” Jordar said back as he new damn well that the report he filed and the logs of the ship itself would reflect how hard he worked to keep that lump of tritanium flying. He now et out a good laugh, “Oh how I’d love to see that Commander by by my one pip I don’t think that’d be proper do you? No I’ll just take apology and a promise that you’ll actually watch where you’re going in the future for now.”

Jordar, Sec

Karina of course knew who he was, En Jodar the new security officer. She had been impressed by the skill it had taken to keep that deralect shuttle going and on course. She’d made note of it in the ensigns file while he’s been in Sickbay. She had also made a formal complaint against the Master chief who had let that shuttle out of a bay.

He had a nice laugh. She wasn’t sure if she was surprised by that or not. She gave him a good once over, and Karina let out a soft laugh. “Too bad you’ve only got one pip.” It was too bad she was still on shift for 2 more hours too. “Then I offer my apology and promise to watch where I’m going. And to keep an eye out for you.” She stepped to the right side of the corridor with a grin. “Just make sure to watch out for the little people from way up there.”
Lt Cmdr Enger, XO

Jordar’s grin was clear and he said, “Well Commander I did have a couple for a while but there are plenty of folks that don’t appreciate a good candid conversation such as yourself. Rest assured, If I see you coming I’ll do my best to meld into the bulkhead for you. How does dinner sound tonight?” Jordar was not one for beating around the bush and he was certainly getting along with this Carin “Name is Jordar, glad to have met you.”

Jordar, Sec
