Having decided that the Asimov wasn’t the right ship for her, Nerira had decided to request a transfer and had been assigned to the USS Odin. Leaving the Asimovon her racing ship the Razorwing, Nerira had spent the last sixteen hours at high warp and now the Odin was on her sensors. She was ready for a shower, some rest and some food.
Dropping out of warp she opened a channel, “lieutenant Akanar to Odin, requesting permission to dock”
Waiting for a response from the other side, she began the drive shutdown procedure.

-Lt Akanar CSO

“Lt Akanar, welcome to the Odin,” came the voice of an Operations Officer through the comm system. “You are cleared to dock, we have been expecting you. Nice ship by the way. Once docked and secured, and you have stowed your kit in your quarters, the Executive Officer is available in his Office.”

NE Operations

“Thanks, she is quite the ship. See you aboard soon, Akanar out”
The soft whirring of the drive dropped in pitch until it was silent until all she could hear was the white noise of the thrusters guiding her in on the auto dock procedure.
She breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she felt the jolt that meant she had touched down. She had always been intimidated by traveling in the Razorwing for long amounts of time because it wasn’t equipped with weapons.

leaving the shuttle bay, Nerira located a ship directory and located her quarters where she dropped off her belongings before heading to the XO’s office. Ringing the chime she waited for an invitation to enter. It was too late when she realized she had forgotten to change out of her flight suit and into uniform, she hoped the commander wouldn’t mind too much.

-Lt. Akanar CSO

“Who is it,” a voice called out from behind the door. Aside from the tone sounding extremely young, the greeting was far from normal. Generally, officers were greeted with the customary responses of come or enter when they rang the chimes of an office. This response sounded more like the individual behind the door of a residence instead of an office.

Harper Black

Failing to notice the strange greeting She responded, finding it only a little odd that she was presumably talking to the XO through his office door, “Nerira Akanar, the new CSO. I just arrived and I was told I could find the XO here?”

-Lt Akanar, CSO

“Yes this is the XO’s office,” the voice said. “Do you have an appointment?”

Harper Black

beginning to doubt that she was actually talking to the XO she responded, “Umm… No… I just arrived and-”
suddenly it clicked, She knew from reviewing the personnel files that Commander Black was married, and his wife was aboard the Odin as well. Nerira had also failed to notice, until now, that the person she was talking to sounded extremely young. Figuring that she had enough evidence to assume she was talking to the commanders kid she tried a different approach, “Is your dad around, I just landed and need to talk to him?”
I must really need some sleep, I haven’t been here ten minutes and I have already made a fool of myself

OOC: Click! I think I got it, because I went digging around in the MOTD and couldn’t find a Harper Black listed anywhere. Your Characters Daughter I assume?

-Lt Akanar, (a very tired) CSO

OOC: 10 points. He shoots he scores :) Harper is the CO’s kid. She is four. ~. Kate

Harper thought the person on the other side of the doors question and pulled one of pony tails around chewing on the end as she thought about her answer. Her mom and dad told her never to say she was alone even if she was. This presented a problem because she wasn’t at home but she was alone. Her dad always said he had an open door policy at work so that meant she should open the door. Spitting out the end of her ponytail she came up with a plan.

“The executive officer is on the potty,” she repeated the sentence her mom made her memorize. “But,” she had a hopeful tone. “You can come in if you know the secret password.”

“If I tell you it then it won’t be a secret but,” she replied back in a thoughtful tone, “it’s somefing I eat with peanut butter and jelly.” The secret word was peanut butter and jelly sandwich and once he said it Harper decided it would be okay to open the door. Crossing her fingers and closing her eyes, she hoped the person on the other side knew it. It was so much fun meeting new people and since the person knew the word that meant they were part of the crew. The crew was like a big family so Harper was hoping as hard as she could the person blurted the word out so she could be the first one to meet them.

Harper Black

“Sandwich. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” she said opening her mind to the thoughts of the person on the other side of the door.
“Now, Harper, I presume? Do you know where the XO really is? Dont worry, I’m new here and I just need to talk to him.”
the door still had not opened to admit her and Nerira was exhausted from her trip, any other time and she would love to engage in Harper’s games. However, because she was only four, Nerira felt the necessity to cooperate if for no other reason than that dealing with an upset four year old would be worse.
