Posted by Captain Sidney Parker (Commanding Officer) in Presim Back Story for XO, attn CSO
Captain Parker had become quite accustomed to the out of a different time XO he had acquired several years ago. However with the successful aCO performance of Harn he knew that time was not in his favor. Given his previous command experience, even if it had not been in this century, it was just a matter of time before SF came a calling for the XO to sit in a center chair. In fact Sid had told Harn that very thing in their last conversation while at the SB. Well that day had come sooner than later for sure. As Harn was on shore leave SF had offered him his own command of a starship. They did not have the exact ship ready yet but they wanted him and made the offer and promotion. To which a conflicted but grateful Harn accepted. It was a good day for the Olinski and Sid in particular. He had hoped Harn would get this chance/ However he had become a much loved XO and it was a hard thing to lose a person like that. Shirazi was the only other XO he could compare to the level of Harn and that was a painful loss of several reasons.That left a big whole on the roster. However he had once again only one candidate he wanted in that chair. It was a man he had offered the role to before and had turned it down. This did not stop him from making the offer again. He called Lt Commander Balfor Kolar into his Ready Room before the any new orders came in for a mission. He waited for his trusted CSO and 2nd officer to arrive.

Kolar was a logical man. People would argue Vulcan like in his demeanor and logic, even though he thought that was an exaggeration. He was calm, pacifistic, but not emotionless in his logic. But whether it came from the lack of emotion or the calm he could see what was coming in this meeting. The Captain was either going to alert him to a new XO coming on board and to determine how his most senior and longest tenured officer is going to respond or he was going to ask if Kolar wanted it.
An interesting dilemma. Despite his series of advancements, Kolar did not long to be a senior officer. He just was qualified for it and accepted it as a matter of course.
He paused in his series of of thoughts as he came to the ready room. Pressing the chime he announced himself.
