Having relaxed in his quarters to the sounds of the band ‘Of Monters and Men’, Rauður headed to the Armory and Brig to find the CoS. He saw someone from behind, and said, “excuse me, are you the Chief of Security?”

Ford stood looking over the day’s duty roster. He heard the doors swish open behind him but ignored it, thinking it one of the next shift members, until he heard the voice speak up. He turned, brown eyes looking the new arrival up and down.
Rauður stood silently waiting out the inspection.
“I am,” he responded, extending his hand. “Lieutenant Fordham. You must be Ensign Bolurson. Welcome aboard the Sentinel. Follow me.” He gestured as he turned and approached a locker against the far wall.
“I am,” Rauður replied, and followed Lieutenant Fordham.
“Your first name,” he asked, “is it Row-thur, or Raw-thur?” He punched a code into the 10-key keypad listening to the answer, each button responding with a tone, then pressed the large red button beneath it to release the locker door. Inside was an array of phasers. He lifted one and pulled a clipboard off the inside of the door.
“Row-thur, as in Row the Boat as the boys at the Academy put it,” Rauður replied, his stoic expression dropping for a moment before returning to what he thought was his professional face.
“This will be your personal phaser,” he said, looking closely at the underside of the weapon, handing it to the officer, then writing something on the sheet. “Please confirm what I’ve written matches the serial number on the phaser, and sign for receipt.”
Rauður checked the phaser as instructed, confirmed it matched and signed for it, before putting it at his side, “understood and done.”
Ford leaned against the wall, playing with the embroidery on his wrist. “And with that out of the way, welcome to the team, Ensign. This your first posting?”
COS Ford
“Yes Lieutenant, fresh out of the Academy, looking to put what was learnt there into practice,” Rauður replied, taking his cue from the COS and relaxing slightly as well, “thanks for the welcome, I just hope I can put what was learnt into action and help to save the Federation. Do you have any advice for a long and successful career?”
