snipAmari stiffened slightly, unwittingly she had maneuvered into very personal territory that usually wasn’t proper when speaking with your commanding officer. Especially when you first meet. But Amari liked this woman, she felt very at ease very quickly. “Oh, I’m so sorry. That must have been very difficult. But I can relate. I lost my husband a little over 13 years ago. Being a single mother, raising two daughters and juggling a career. It hasn’t always been easy. Actually, I don’t think it’s ever been easy.” She smiled warmly. “I’m just thankful for this opportunity. I think the Ogawa will be a great place for Sadee to come into her own. I hope so anyway.”

Willow held a hand up again. “Sorry that was inappropriate of me and rude on a first meeting, I guess they are right you don’t get another chance to make a first impression.” She laughed lightly. “Well since I apparently decided to forgo the professional, Willow Taylor. My friends call me Will and I’m a teenage survivor,” she held a hand out her eyes twinkling, “My friends call me Will, we are delighted to have you on the ship.”

CO“Amari Brooks and I don’t have a nickname other than Mom or Doctor.” She shook the offered hand and her eyes twinkled jovially. “Although, I have always wanted to be called Number One. So, if you wouldn’t mind throwing one of those in occassionally.” She laughed at her own little joke. “And there is absolutely nothing to apologize for Captain. I shouldn’t have pried. I must say though, I feel a certain kindred spirit in you. I feel like I’ve known you or ages. Isn’t that strange?”

Laughing Willow sipped her drink again, “That I can do. Strange you should say that, I felt the same. Hopefully a sign of good things to come Commander.” Replacing her drink of the desk she hunted some files for the woman, department reports that she would need. “So you were a Doctor? What specialty if I may enquire?”

“Family practice and Emergency medicine. The two most common specialties needed aboard a starship, which is where I always knew I wanted to end up.” She sipped the tea savoring the warm liquid as it traversed her throat. “It was always what I wanted to do.” She noticed the captain rummage through some reports. “i’ve read up on most of the officers on board. The Ogawa has a very talented and very diverse crew. I’m especially looking forward to meeting your Chief Science Officer, a Lt. Tressex, I believe? I’ve never met an Antican, but I’ve studied their physiology. Quite fascinating.”
