The first officer made her way smartly to the door of the Chief of Staff’s office. She was curious to meet the man who would be her link to most of the crew. If anyone could offer insight in must be him. She was fit and looked good in command red, though going from blue to red had taken some adjusting. She took just a moment to glance at her reflection to make sure her black puff on top of her head was neatly in place, and smoothed down quickly her baby hairs in front. She smiled and activated the chime.-Lt. Cmdr. Amari Brooks, XO
“Come in,” came the response a couple of moments later.
When she did, she would see a lopsided desk, with three legs raised and a pair of Starfleet-issue boots sticking out from underneath.
Entering Amari took in the odd sight. Though it wasn’t the strangest thing she had ever seen on a starship, it was certainly up there.
“Blasted things. It’s like they’re designed to require an engineer to tamper with… I mean, adjust,” came a voice from somewhere near the remaining unadjusted leg, before a pop and a metallic grinding noise accompanied the desk leveling off again.
“Fortunately for me, I’m related to a few,” the voice said, sliding out from under the desk and popping up to a full standing posture.
“How can I help you, Commander?” Brad asked, after recognizing his visitor.

Chief of StaffAmari smiled her friendly smile revealing a large set of pearly whites. He black puff sat neatly on top of her head. “I’m just making the rounds Commander Walker. Familiarizing myself with the ship and the various departments. Do you have a minute to talk perhaps? May I sit down?”
-Lt. Cmdr. Brooks, XO
“Sure,” Brad said, waving her into one of the seats opposite the desk while dragging his own back from where he’d kicked it out of the way at the beginning of his adjustment job. “That’s the curse of a job like this, plenty of time to do anything but what you originally signed up for.”
To illustrate his point, he grabbed a PaDD and looked at the subject before tossing it back on his desk with a scoff. “Yep, definitely can’t say I joined Starfleet to sign off on requests to restock our supply of one-size-fits-all, unisex sanitary surgical scrubs,” he said.

Chief of StaffAmari laughed as she took the seat indicated. “Isn’t that the truth?” she said as she settled in. “Then, if I may ask, Dr. Walker, what did you sign up for?”
-Lt. Cmdr. Brooks, XO
“Back when I was young and stupid?” Brad asked, half-rhetorically. “To get away from home, meet new species and learn how to fix whatever was wrong with them, then get a ‘reward,’ if you catch my drift. The full Kirk.”

Chief of StaffAmari’s head cocked to the side a bit. Typical young male, thinking. “Isn’t that what all young men want?” she asked playfully, catching his drift. “And let me ask you commander, did the stupid young boy grow up?” She didn’t know him well, but the familiarity of the conversation was refreshing. “Or are you still chasing green women in two pieces.”
-Lt. Cmdr. Brooks, XO
“Rather quickly,” Brad said. “Of course, a certain amount of growing up is bound to happen when your first ship is shot out from under you less than two months after you get there. Then, when her replacement went up a few years later, I decided it would be safer to be more stationary for a while. Then, stationary got boring, and here I am,” he said.
“Of course, if the green women in two-pieces offer, well, it would be positively un-gentlemanly to turn them down,” he said with a wink. You can make the boy into a man, but you can’t ever take the boy out of the man, after all.
