Willow gave a slight frown at Kane and sat herself opposite him. “Oh you and I are going to need to set some boundaries aren’t we.” She said with a slight smirk.

CO

Kane looked at her and shrugged, a small smirk of his own tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Probably.” was all he said, but there was none of the edge to his voice that he had when speaking to Smith.

At that, Dira shot Willow a smile. Good.

Willow didn’t return the look with one of her own. She didn’t need to. She simply raised one eyebrow and clasped her hands. Putting her elbows on the table she rested her chin on the interlocked fingers and watched smith.

Smith cleared his throat and said “Now, then. If I may…” and he looked at Kane with something akin to hatred but also imploring him to just be quiet. “As I am sure you, Captain, and you, Commander, are aware; Lieutenant Kane is something of an… issue… for Star Fleet -” and Kane mumbled in a sing-song fashion “Only because you make me one…” and Smith’s jaw clenched and he closed his eyes for a moment, took a breath, and continued. ” - because of his somewhat unorthodox origin with us.” Kane opened his mouth to speak and Smith shot him a glare and snapped his fingers at him. Kane closed his mouth but a grin spread over his face and his eyes locked on Smith as if he had scored some kind of victory over the Intelligence officer. “But, Star Fleet has spent several years verifying and educating the Lieutenant in not only the improvements in medical science from his particular point of origin, but in training him to help us utilize his particular skill set to help the Federation and Star Fleet. He -” and Kane held a hand up in front of his face and he looked at the two Ship’s Officers and said “Or to be blunt, they’ve spent the last almost three years pulling every kind of blood, bone, tissue, and other samples too inappropriate to discuss with ladies present to try and prove that I’m not what I said I was and they couldn’t so someone high up on the food chain who actually still has a soul told them they had to stop using me as a lab rat and let me go.” and he looked at Smith and said “See? Short and to the point. You really need to work on your people skills.”

Well that was interesting. Willow considered another such medical staff me, er who had been brought to her with a handler of sorts who regarded him with the same sort of contempt. She had handled that situation badly. Perhaps now as the time to try again and get it right. However her thought processes were interrupted by the interesting colour that Smith was turning…

Smith’s face went red and he was about to say something but he just clenched his jaw and looked at Taylor and Myqian. “He’s your problem now. Intel will task him from time to time with operational objectives, but what those are I am not responsible for thank god. I’m sure someone will be in touch.” and he stood and said “Captain. Commander.” with a nod to each. He looked at Kane and said “Goodbye Lieutenant. I hope whatever hole spit you out here gets hungry again.” and he left without so much as another word.

Kane watched him leave and then turned to the two officers. “Nice guy. Remind me to send him a fruit basket.” he said with enough derison to make it effective and then he waited, one hand on the table and one hand on his knee, to see what fresh hell he was going to be dropped into next.

Kane, R&D

Dira considered him a moment and then shifted her coffee to the side and folded her arms on the table. “Well, now that we’re off to such a nice start, let me introduce myself properly. I’m Dira Myqian, ship’s first officer. My job is to make sure that this ship and its crew has everything they need to do the exceptional work that they do. And that includes you,” she said simply. Her tone was matter-of-fact with a soft edge, as if it could easily shift to suit whatever purpose her words required. It was a modulation that had been practiced for years.

“I may be from another reality or some s&^%, but I know what a XO does.” Kane replied flatly.

“I’m not going to say some sort of bullsh!t about how what came before doesn’t matter and all that matters is what you do from here on out. It is true, to a point, but it’s also wrong. All I want you to understand from me at this moment is that we’re not your enemy Lieutenant. How you want to play this is entirely up to you. And I can’t speak for Captain Taylor here, but I’m not here to fight you.” She shrugged. “Not interested.”

Commander Myqian, XO

Kane looked at her for a moment and then said “You’ll excuse me for not exactly jumping for joy at the moment. If that line hadn’t been fed to me ad nauseum for the past two and half years, I might give you some kind of credit. But I’ll be straight with you. I’m not here to fight anybody unless they start the fight first. In fact… I don’t know why I am here. I was told I was coming here like a week ago. Thats it. So other than Smith’s smarmy little crack about operations secret blah blah blah? I don’t know f%$k -all… so there ya go.”

Kane, R&D

Dira just nodded. Was she upset/ Nope, not in the least.

Willow sat silently contemplating Kane while her executive officer spoke up and he replied. Why was he here? It was anyone’s guess really starfleet command had its own reasons for assigning people to ships and she had received her share of trouble making troublemakers over her time as CO of the Ogawa. At least this one wasn’t a reforming criminal with the unhappy habit of genetic manipulation, or so she assumed.

After her silence the red haired woman finally moved, carefully unfolded her hands and picked up the coffee Charlie had given her and seemed to be considering. Finally, blowing on her coffee she did speak, but not to either Officer.

=^= Galen. Please send a memo to Ensign Charlie and have her send Mister Smith a fruit basket with our compliments. Perhaps something with potassium. Charlie can organise the arrangement herself.=^=

Therapist face well in place, Dira didn’t react, but later though she would have a laugh.

There was silence for a few moments before the calm and distinctly male computer voice responded. =^= Memo sent Captain. Ensign Charlie confirms the orders.=^=

Willow sat back “Thank you Galen.” She said and sipped her coffee. she then turned her attention to Kane. “Welcome to the Ogawa Doctor.”

Willow Taylor
CO

“If I may throw on an option on the table? You’re one of over four hundred new crew members. We don’t know exactly what you will be doing here either and since you don’t but you are here, why don’t decide we take what you’re good at, and the fact that we’re on a state of the art ship medical ship and find something that you want to do. Screw Intelligence,” she said with a slight gleam in her dark eyes.
