Idle chit chat with strangers was always awkward for her, though it was easier one-on-one than in larger groups. Still, Faye was akward, no two ways about it, and if she hadn’t been wearing her uniform, today she’d likely be in one of her many slogan t-shirts that said I came, I saw, I made it Awkward.

As they stepped into the lift to got up to their destination, Calloway eyed the XO. “Commander, how much of my file have you read? It’ll be easier to have the conversations we need to if we establish a few things up front.”

Orvos sent the turbolift on its way to the bridge. He could feel its hum through the floor as any engineer would.

Orvos grinned at her question and glanced over at her. “All of it? Well, besides those pesky redacted bits anyway.” He left the statement open so as not be too pushy. If she wanted to address something, she was free to without fear.

Faye nodded, resisting the urge to ran a hand over her french braid, or rub her fingers together. Anything to ease her nerves. “I’m not your typical Intelligence Officer. Despite the stereotype, the covert stuff is not what I normally do, nor do I have any intention of doing it again unless absolutely necessary for some sort f extraordinary reason.” She took a deep breath. “What I am good at is computers. Programming, hacking, that sort of thing. And the project I’ll be briefing you on is in that realm. But the rest of my new job? I’m here to be observant and do my part to keep the ship and crew safe. Regardless of what else you know about me or hear, know that, Commander.”

She turned to him, her grey-green eyes taking him in keenly. “I’m not going to lie: This is all a lot of change for me, and with the way my brain works, change is harder than it might otherwise be. I’ve just left a place I considered to be the first home I’ve had since the Dominion destroyed my colony, said farewell to friends I never expected to have, gotten married to an amazing person, and also gotten a promotion. That a lot for most people. But for someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder, it can be extra difficult. I just wanted you to know that if in the next few weeks I seem… not at my best, that I’m adjusting and it will get better.” Or at least that’s what we’ll tell ourselves, she thought.
