Matthias Meadows had been one of the helmsman for the Athena for some time now. He knew the ship like the back of his own hand. It took skilled hands and understanding to maneuver her well.

Now, however, he had been tasked with something else. He was between shifts and was available for other duties that needed tending to. With the new XO having come suddenly aboard, and Commander Legen’s sudden promotion to captain, he was not tasked with some of the more menial things. He had assigned several ensigns to transfer Legen’s belongings to his new quarters, clean the place, and prep the new XO’s belongings accordingly.

The first officer had been fairly busy until this point, and he had been given word that the Athena was now en route to the Montezuma. It was a precarious situation, however getting the XO settled in was now part of his duties for the time being.

The ensigns were busy so he decided he would get in touch with the executive officer and get things straightened out. =/\=Lt. Commander Stone, this is Lt. Meadows. I’ve been assigned to transferring your belongings and getting you situated on the Athena. Is there a good time for us to meet?=/\=

-Lt. Matthias Meadows, Helmsman

Serena paused as the com call came through, her blue gaze locked on the large padd in front of her. She considered the chrono on her device then sighed. =^=Mister Meadows, I should have some time between seventeen hundred and nineteen hundred hours.=^= It wasn’t too far away, but that would be off-duty hours, though she supposed she was always on-call now. At least then she should have a little free time to handle personal matters before getting ready for rack ops.

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

=/\=Understood. I can meet you on the bridge at 1700 if that works for you?=/\=

-Lt. Matthias Meadows, Helmsman

Commander Stone gave it a moment of thought then nodded, forgetting that she was unseen. =^=Sounds good to me. I’ll be there most likely anyway.=^=

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

=/\=Understood.=/\= And with that, he coodinated his plans for that time.


When the clock struck 1700, Meadows stepped onto the bridge and out of the way as he waited for the XO to finish her transition of duty officers.

-Lt. Matthias Meadows, Helm

The redhead sighed and checked the chrono. 17:00 hours. 5 o’ clock. Getting to her feet, she passed the conn to the second officer or current operations officer. Straightening her uniform she spotted a Lieutenant waiting patiently by the side. “Lieutenant Meadows?”

She nodded. “Good to see you. You wanted to speak with me about something?”

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

Meadows gestured to the turbolift. “Yes, ma’am. Just trying to get you accommodated to the ship and address any questions, comments, or concerns.” he said with a friendly smile.

Miss Stone nodded, letting a small smile play across her face.

The lift opened and he entered after her. After the door closed he had the lift take them to deck 17 to start. “Your quarters are still temporarily unavailable at the moment. We have people working on it, so some time soon it should be available. If you would like, I could give you a tour of the ship? Or I can give you the basics and show you to the Parthenon? To be honest, the Parthenon is probably the more fun option.”

-Lt. Meadows, Helm

“It can’t be too hard to get around. Option two is probably better in this instance. I’ve already been to sickbay and the counseling center, bridge, briefing room, ready room. I’m sure I’ll make it to Engineering and the Security center, fleet operations modules, and anywhere else. So the basic rundown should suffice. Plus ‘The Parthenon’ .. whatever it is. I’m guessing it’s some quasi-Greek variation of the crew lounge?”

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

Matthias laughed. “I suppose being rushed aboard and straight into duty will do that for you. Ship’s pretty big and there’s a been a few folks who get turned around without a map.” He shrugged. “Doesn’t sound like you though.”

“If I get turned around I can always ask the central computer to guide me wherever I need to go,” she said. It was a common feature on most ships, and the Mythology-class certainly wasn’t without it.

“The Parthenon is indeed that. It’s a concept I believe that is based on the the ship’s name. Athena was seen as the goddess of wisdom, if I remember correctly. Might also have something to do with the ship class too? Athena, mythology, Parthenon.” He raised and eyebrow and offered a grin. “I suppose it’s all just a play on words. How familiar are you with the various amenities we offer here?”

-Lt. Meadows, Helm

She nodded. “Sounds about right. The mythology class is forty five decks high, seven hundred meters long, almost half a kilometer wide. Over two hundred thousand metric tons with a standard crew compliment of nine hundred, plus civilians and family members and enough room for another one hundred visitors. She sports two sickbays, five holosuites, five holodecks, excellent gym facilities, recreation hall/area, a massive crew lounge, three arboretums, school and nursery facilities, a solid counseling center for those that need it. And that’s without any mission modules. Not to mention her defensive and tactical systems or impressive engines. Or massive shuttlebays. In truth, we could fit a lot more people on this boat and still be quite comfortable. But we generally don’t need it.”

She sighed a little. “Truth be told, it all sounds really nice. And I’m sure it helps, but I feel like… I could vacation here. And get soft here. And I’m not sure that’s a good thing.”

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO
