Jennifer gave the Admiral a small, but slightly tense smile. “I feel like I’ve just started here and already I’m on shore leave. What a wacky thing, eh?”

Wallace, XO

“Is that guilt I hear behind that statement?” The Admiral remarked with a shrewd look, “If it makes you feel any better you could always take on the job of ensuring the rotation works out for all concerned. Did I mention that this place is big enough that you could send your whole crew down all at once if you were of a mind? So how about you gather up your people and let’s be off”.

Wallace chuckled nervously. “Maybe a little,” she muttered under her breath. The crew were all in need of a break after what they’d just been through.

Ghubari just shook her head and tapped her commbadge. =/\=Captain Koraia to all crew. Prepare to disembark within the hour. We’ll be heading out as soon as all crew accounted for. Further information will be supplied shortly. Koraia out.=/\= She looked at the Admiral. “Well then, with that done, we should probably get preparations done. Commander Wallace can assure you get VIP quarters assigned. Is there anything else you’ll need while we’re at it?”

The mini assignment from Ghubari was helpful. Jennifer pulled out her PaDD and sent a quick note to Hammor about the VIP quarters, asking him to check that the VIP quarters were ready to receive.

Wallace, XO

The Admiral ran a hand through her blonde hair, “Quarters for my two aides would be all I would need at present. They prefer to be quartered together, inseparable the two of them.” She stopped and then added, “If it’s not too much to ask, a party would be nice to ease the journey along. It’s not often I get to go to one. One requirement… no dress uniforms, casual only, no ceremony, this is supposed to be a bit of fun”.

“No quarters for yourself, Admiral?” Jennifer paused in her typing.

Wallace, XO

“The Captain just kindly asked you to allocate me the VIP quarters. It would be very helpful if my two aides were close by. They take their job very seriously”. She continued to walk as they talked heading unerringly towards the quarters soon to be hers.

Ghubari let the correction slid smoothly on by, though she cast a tiny wink Jennifer’s way. It was all good. “A welcome party. Well, we can certainly host one of those. I keep joking that I have command over a very large cruise ship, facility-wise, of course. I’m sure the host of our lounge, called the Pathenon will be easily able to accommodate a social gathering on short notice.”

“The Parthenon, such an exquisite name, I’m sure that would be the perfect place for a party”. The Admiral paused for a moment and then continued “Please don’t go to too much trouble though, this is meant to be a relaxing cruise after all. I simply want to meet people. I feel like one day people will look back on this ship as they do the Enterprise and Captain Kirk and selfishly I just want to be able to say, that I was there”.

Wallace flushed at the mistake, then refocused on her typing. “I’ll meet you in the lounge later, I have some… Logistics to take care of,” she apologized, then turned and rushed in the opposite direction. Hopefully Hammor had gotten her message and had made sure the VIP quarters were in good condition and ready for arrivals.

Wallace, XO

Koraia just nodded in Jennifer’s direction. They were still finding their groove but she had a good feeling about her new XO.

The Admiral muttered, “I do hope I didn’t hurt the poor girl’s feelings”. She seemed genuinely distraught at the thought.

“She’ll be alright,” Ghubari said with confidence. “As for being on our one day famous ship, Admiral, I take that as the compliment it was, but I hope you can understand that for much of the crew we wish we were a little less good at what we do. Nonetheless, I will suggest you be careful what you wish for. On the Athena things have a way of happening that we least expect that test our limits.”

The admiral stopped walking for a brief moment and put her hand on Ghubari’s shoulder for a brief moment, her eyes were sympathetic, “Your efforts are appreciated by more than you know” she said with a small smile and then moved to walk off again…

Karina was off duty and taking her usual walk around the ship when she came around the corner and did a double hop out of the way to keep from kareening into the CO and Admiral. “Captain!” She gasped by way of apology. “So sorry. Seems I was lost in my head.” She nodded to the Admiral. “Forgive me.” Her hair was down from its usual severe regulation coil, the edges brushing on her hips as she came to rest after to misstep. Green eyes glanced from one officer to the other as she hoped she wasn’t about to get an earful on running ragged around the ship. Her smile was bright and easy, though a slight flush on her cheeks spoke of recent exertion.

“Nothing to forgive my dear”, the Admiral looked more amused than annoyed as they made their way through the corridors. “Name. rank and what have you been doing?”. The Admirals request was couched more as a joking question than a directive.

Karina was about to duct out, more embarrassed than anything, when the Admiral’s question had her seamlessly falling into step just behind and to the right of him. “Lieutenant Karina Niles, Sir. I am a doctor here on the ship. I mostly work with major trauma, but in recent days, I merely help out where I am needed. I fear nothing super exciting.” She didn’t mention Lieutenant Commander Madison’s special needs. It wasn’t her secret to share. But she made sure the Admiral knew she wasn’t some fluffhead nurse who merely walked around and handed the Doc his scanner when he bellowed.

“And how do you like Athena my dear?” The Admiral’s question seemed oddly phrased.

Ghubari stood there beside the Admiral with the same amused expression on her face. Whether or not she was fazed by all these little developments or not was not obvious.
