“I’d say whoever you encountered was likely average in height for my species. I am uncharacteristically small. My parents called me “little bight one” because of my small size, even from birth,” she said with a small chuckle, taking the seat he had gestured to. “No, actually. I’m just here to meet you. Get a feel for the crew and the ship. Does she run well?” Luka asked. “Evidently, your engineering crew consists of a few pranksters, given your… interesting reaction to my appearance. I’m going to have to get the story behind that particular one,” she grinned.

Luka, XO

OOC: I thought I was missing a post somewhere. :P

IC: He gave a frustrated snicker before replying. “As for your first question, yes she runs quite well. So long as people do their jobs, the Athena can be a real beauty! As for pranksters, yes I have noticed a some funny business here and there. Comes with the job I suspect. People tend to be intimidated by someone who might know more than them. They try to put the boss in their place every once in awhile if they think they can get away with it.”

Orvos shrugged. “I had been in here earlier working on a coupling when a knock came at the door. Nobody entered so I went to check what was going on, and there before my eyes was a hologram of a great bird like creature that once roamed ancient Earth, back before humans had really made any imprint on the planet. Pterodactyls. Realistically they are quite large, but this one measured to a bit more than your own height. Spooked me at first, but the dimensions were clearly WAY off!”

He moved to the replicator to get a drink. “Would you like a beverage?” he inquired as a steaming cup of oolong tea appeared before him.

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

“Some tea would be lovely, thanks,” Luka said with a nod. “Just tell the thing to make Recipe Luka 23,” the XO said with a small smile. “Although the foods of Earth and the other Federation Races are pleasant, I’ve always found them to be not quite as good as food from home…”

She shrugged lightly. “Although I only wanted to meet you, we can add a little business to this meeting. What’s your crew like - engineering, specifically. Other than the holographic pterodactyl pranks, of course. Are there any issues, problems you need to talk to the command staff about, things that are going particularly well, complaints, etcetera…?”

Luka, XO

The tea materialized and took in the scent of it. He then placed the cup before the new first officer as he took his own seat. “Oh, she runs well enough. Now that we are back at Starbase 157, we can see to some much needed repairs and upgrades to our systems. Otherwise, I’d say we are all good down here. Typically you’ll hear from me right away if there’s an issue,” he said with a grin.

“How are you finding the ship so far?” he asked curiously. Perhaps it was an odd question. It was his ship after all. And every now and then, the captain in him would try to surface. So whether anyone liked it or not, he would at times be awkward.

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

Luka took the tea from the CE with a small smile, taking a sip and enjoying the soothing feeling of it. “I’m finding the ship to be fine so far. I’ve only been here for a few days, but the crew seems friendly and the ship herself, while large, isn’t too hard to navigate. I guess the years on Federation vessels has gotten me used to their general layouts, but it used to take weeks before I got used to where everything was on a ship!”

Luka, XO

Orvos gave a slight chuckle. “Now try memorizing all the Jefferies tubes and potential emergency exit hatches. That’ll keep you going for awhile.”

He leaned back in his chair as he gazed at the new first officer. “You nervous about filling in this role on the Athena?” he inquired. Orvos was always one to come across straightforward with others. But when it came to his own personal matters…that would be different. Too much information was never good to just hand out to those who weren’t ready for it.

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

“Honestly, yes,” Luka chuckled lightly. “It’s a new position and I’ve never had this type of responsibility before. The crew is just… so vast. There are so many people on this ship, and knowing I’m kinda in charge of the people who keep them alive, that is somewhat stressful.” she shrugged slightly. “I’m hopeful though. I’ve managed to adjust to my roles in the past and am confident I can do the same for this role. Maybe one day I’ll even be promoted to Captain - not of this ship. I truly hope Ghubari remains captain for many years to come,” she added.

Luka, XO

“Well, I doubt you would be in this position if you weren’t talented at what you do. Seems like you’ve earned it to me.” he said with a grin. “I trust you’ll do excellently, as I’m sure the rest of the senior staff will as well.”

Orvos leaned back in his chair and added. “Is there any thing in particular you would like to know about me?”

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE
