He’d already met the Captain when she boarded, and he really thought this was a waste of time. However, formal check-ins were regulation, and he would never neglect something he knew he was supposed to be doing (unless, perhaps, it was a medical check-in). He already knew where the Captain’s office was. As he headed there, he remembered checking in to Captain Carmichael, who he had been friends with. Who had been thrilled to have him as a first officer, despite being newly promoted. He vaguely wondered what Captain Rogers thought of him. But it didn’t really matter, did it? It didn’t matter who his Captain was. He’d follow their orders and do his job. That’s what was important.

Roman rang the chime on the door, waiting patiently for her answer. The conversation would be quick, more than likely, just a formality. Then, he could get back to work.

Shirley stood in front of her mirror as she brushed her hair and evaluated the her new uniform as it was evident in her reflection. The Sentinel was one of several test ships that Starfleet issued new uniforms to that they were interested in potentially switching over to across the entire fleet as a whole. She took a liking to the set because it was a nice fresh start for her, not only in uniform style, but it included her first command opportunity. She heard the chime sound off in her quarters and set her hair brush on the counter by the sink. She glanced at her reflection one last time as she gave herself a once over and in result everything appeared to check out properly as she shifted her gaze in the direction of the entry door to her quarters, “Come in.”

The door opened and Roman stepped in, his hair nearly combed, his uniform spotless as always. “Captain.” He said as he stepped in. “Lieutenant Commander Alden reporting for duty.” He stood at the door, in a formal attention stance. Big on rules and regulations, he would consider that to be the only way to greet a Captain for a formal meeting.

Upon entering her quarters, Roman would see Shirley in her uniform, but had her hair down just past her shoulders. She kept it casual since she was in her quarters anyways and would put her dark brown hair up in a bun when exposed to the rest of the crew. Shirley gave Roman a once over and thought ‘Wow, that is one handsome first officer.’ She proceeded to smile at him as a natural response to an attractive man, “At ease Commander.” Still in full confidence in herself, she extended her hand to shake his in greeting, “I am Captain Shirley Rogers. It is a pleasure to meet you Commander Alden.” After they shook hands, Shirley gestured to the seat by her desk, “Please take a seat. We have much to discuss. Would you like to have anything to drink or to eat?” Shirley planned to reach out to the Yeoman either way to get herself a drink, she may as well be polite to her first number one. A good first impression played a key role to earn a subordinates buy in for the future going forward.

Roman did not return her smile, instead offering a polite nod. He shook her hand and sat down, his posture even sitting perfect. In front of the captain, he’d never allow his formality to slip. Roman was still getting used to the new captain, they’d hardly spoken so far. “No, thank you, ma’am,” he replied easily. He’d had his morning cup of black tea already. There was indeed much to talk about, but he waited for Rogers’ lead, looking at her expectantly to continue.
