Willow considered the computer screen before her and tapped her badge. =^= Ensign Tressex. Please report to the Captain’s office =^=Willow Taylor
COA somewhat startled voice came through the comms and Tressex’s voice replied =/\= Y-y-yes, Ma’am. On my way, Capatin. =/\= A few minutes later, a visibly nervous Tressex arrived at the Captain’s door and pressed the chime.
Tressex, Science JO
Willow looked up. “Come in.” She called and waited to watch the Ensign as he stepped foot into her office. She had made up her mind however and seldom did she change that once settled.
“Ahh Ensign Tressex Thank you for coming so promptly. I will be blunt, our current Chief science officer has been reassigned. I find myself in need of a new department head. Interested?”
Willow Taylor
COTressex was stunned and stared blankly for a few moments. Then he blinked. And then blinked and shook his head. “I-I-I-I- am sorry, Captain.” he managed to stammer out. “I am confused.” and then the reality of the request set in… hard. Tressex blinked again, and then stood up tall and straight. His voice became clearer, firmer. “Yes, Ma’am. I am interested. I will do my best, Ma’am.”
Ens. Tressex, CSO (Incoming)
Willow smiled “Excellent. Then congratulations Lieutenant Tressex.” She stood and held out a box in one hand for him with a new pip and held the other hand out to shake his hand. “I will expect a department progress report first thing Monday morning. Let me know if any issues arise.”
Willow Taylor
COTressex stood stunned for a moment seeing the pip, but then said “Yes, Ma’am. Thank you, Ma’am.” and took her hand and shook it while taking the box with the other. “You will have the report, as requested. Thank you again, Ma’am.” and he took the pip out and looked at it. “May I ask a favor, Captain?”
Willow waved her hand in a ‘by all means sort of gesture.’
“Would you mind pinning this on? My only promotion so far was going from Cadet to Ensign, and it was simply a mass ceremony where we all pinned our rank on ourselves.”
Tressex, CSO
With a smile Willow stood and coming around her desk held her hand out for the box. “I’d be happy to.” She carefully pinned the pip on and stepped back to offer her hand again, “congratulations Lieutenant.”
Willow Taylor
COTressex stood tall as the Captain pinned his pip on his collar, and couldn’t keep a smile from his face. “Thank you, Captain. I’ll do my best for you. Promise.” he said as he shook her hand. Letting go he said “I will get you a briefing compiled as soon as possible, Ma’am. And I already have an idea for science operations at the colony. We will send one person down for assessment and coordination duties… probably Mrs. Reez. T’pris is currently engaged and I think the mission would be better served if I coordinated things from here. If need be, I can always go down if necessary. Would that be acceptable, Captain?”
Tressex, CSO
Willow nodded with a smile. “Sounds perfect, carry on Lieutenant.” She knew then and there that she had made the right choice.
Willow Taylor
CO
Tressex nodded and said “Right away, Ma’am. And thank you again.” and he turned and walked briskly out of the Ready Room. Before the doors closed, he could be seen heading quickly to the Science Station on the bridge and tapping in a few commands.
Tressex, CSO
