Thanks to his Yeoman, to who he’d never keep his head screwed on straight he had managed to put some time aside for his new second in command. Though having several fine choices in the crew to pick from Eli had been a little controversial by picking an outsider and someone who was similarly under-experienced as him. None the less he was confident of his choice. He’d sent his Yeoman to fetch the Lieutenant Commander Alder and to tell him to meet at K-5s observation bar, dress smart and prepare for a martini or two.

Taking his own advice Eli was wearing a grey three-piece suit accompanied by some brown leather shoes, a gold timekeeper and a flat cap. His Hankerchief and pipe stowed in his top right pocket the mouthpiece of which one show. He was sat at the bar and sipping on a dry martini while he waited.

Roman had only just become qualified for a first officer’s position, and he was frankly surprised that the promotion had come through this soon. The orders had come through a few weeks ago - Lt. Commander Alden to report to the USS Sentinel, CO the newly appointed Captain Elijah Carmichael. The news had raised a few eyebrows, given that the ship would be Captain Carmichael’s first but Roman had heard good things about him, and he was not worried about the Captain’s lack of experience - or his own.

Upon arriving at K-5 a young Yeoman had fetched him, giving him instructions to where to meet the Captain. And of course, what to wear. For the occasion, Roman chose his favorite suit: a high end blue blazer accompanying grey pants and sharp black loafers. He wore a lighter blue button-up and a dark blue vest underneath the blazer. He was clean shaven, his hair neatly clipped short, but by no means a buzz cut. Unwilling to keep his new Captain waiting, Roman made quick time to the observation bar.

Upon arriving, it was easy to pick out Captain Carmichael from the crowd. Roman had seen his picture, after all. He chose the direct approach, heading up to the Captain and putting out his hand for a hand shake. “Captain Carmichael, I’m Lieutenant Commander Alden, meeting as requested,” he said, introducing himself. He was surprised to find that Carmichael was nearly as tall as himself, and with impeccable style.

Eli looked at the man and had to admit, he liked the suit. “Is that a southern accent I hear and not the kind from the Americas!” It was clear as day even if the second martini was warming his cockles. “And Please call me Eli, especially when were in a bar” He waved over the barman and ordered himself another drink, “What your poison? For a station so far from Earth they manage to make the best cocktails.” Already it would appear Alden was making a good impression, one could tell by the way they dressed if they were of proper upbringing.
