SB 157: The Boiler Room Cafe: Meeting with XO

Posted May 15, 2020, 4:49 p.m. by Lieutenant Zoi Haven (Chief of Security) (Amber DeSadier)

Posted by Commander Dira Myqian (Executive Officer) in SB 157: XO’s Temp Office- Message to all Senior Staff
Before her impending meeting with Willow and the Starbase command team, Dira settled into the small space that would serve as a temporary office until the ship was in a functional state. Given the circumstances, she knew that she (and everyone else) needed to be flexible. To that effect, she thought through the message she wanted to send and once satisfied, sent it off on the group list they were set up with.


To: USS Ogawa [SENIOR STAFF]
From: Commander Myqian, Dira, Executive Officer
======================

Hello everyone,

By now I’m sure you’ve heard the rumours that the Ogawa has been assigned a new XO. I am that person. I’ve only had a chance to have a fairly brief conversation with Captain Taylor, and would like to take the opportunity to get to know everyone. With these unusual circumstances, and being on the Starbase for the next while, I’d like to set up meetings with each department. It can be a one-on-one with the department head, or I’m happy to sit down with your entire team. The overall size of the crew means this is more doable than it would be on other ship, but I will let you all decide what you feel works best.

As I’m eager to officially get to work, I’ll also be arranging appointments in the Infirmary and with Psychiatry with Ogawa crew to satisfy my boarding requirements, so these will be in addition to the department meeting as necessary.

Please reply back with what sort of meeting you’d prefer and any current needs facing your department. My job is to facilitate the needs the crew as much as I can, so please don’t hesitate to let me know what those may be.

Regards,

Dira Myqian


First impressions were not the ned of the galaxy but with the additional stresses the crew had been under, it was important that they understood she was here to join their team. She would do her best to smooth things along as best she could, but she had to admit she was in certain danger of getting exactly what she asked for and then regretting it. Ah well, whoever said the life of an XO was easy?

Commander Myqian, XO

Zoi had met with the Captain before they had come to Starbase 157 so when she had received the message from the new XO, she was more than happy to reply though she was a bit too busy to get to it right away that day. The more she knew of expectations for her job and the more she knew about the people she worked with, the better she could do her job.


Good evening Commander Myqian.

My apologies for not getting to you right away. As you can understand, it has been rather busy getting the Ogawa in working order and ready for residents once more. I am done with my shift at 17:00 however, I anticipate an hour of extra work and interruptions that inevitably happen. Would you like to meet me at the Boiler Room Cafe at 18:00 local time? They have coffee, tea, hot pots, anything to do with boiling water or broths and it is quite a lot more comfortable than temporary offices can be.

Lt. Zoi Haven, Chief of Security


At the appointed hour, Zoi was sitting in one of the eclectic collection of chairs that littered the space. Among the many tables and chairs, not a single duplicate existed and yet they all seemed to suit one another without looking like it was done on purpose. There were many reasons why Zoi enjoyed this cafe and the strangely wonderful mismatch of furniture was one of them. Thankfully, she had less interruptions and last minute things than she had expected and she had been able to have some time to change and tidy up. It had been quick, but she felt less stiff after a long shift. For the occasion, she had chosen a simple black shift, pants and a multi colored knit wrap.

The server came by and placed a tray before her with a beautiful stone tea set with hand painted filigree patterns all over them. She smiled to the Andorian woman and began pouring herself a cup.

Haven, CoS
