Avik wasted no times once the CO confirmed her choices and promptly walked out of the Bridge. She entered the turbo lift and stood beside the CoS, patiently waiting for the doors to open again. Once she heard them hiss, she stepped briskly down the corridor to the room. When Avik entered, she turned and waited for the rest to arrive.–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr
A few minutes after the arrival of the XO and the COS, a young, blonde ensign in a yellow-trimmed uniform came through the door to the transporter room. She glanced around to assess who was already present and then smiled at the two assembled. “Hello, Lieutenant, Commander.”
Adrie, Sec
Abrams gave a brief nod to Adrie before checking that her sidearm was on stun. Glancing back up at her junior officer, Cassidy briefed her. “We’re going over to investigate an ancient Klingon ship that seems to be automatically firing on other vessels. Standard defences, not likely to be too many surprises, but we should be prepared for anything. Phasers on stun.”
Cassidy shifted her attention to Avik. “I’ll take point and we’ll go slowly. I want to make sure we’ve all got a solid feel for the situation. I recommend we beam in close to the bridge, but not onto it.”

Lia mimicked Abrams’ actions on her own sidearm, although she’d already checked once before heading to the transporter room. It felt better to be doing something as she attended to the quick briefing. She nodded as she digested the information and then listened in quietly to the conversation between the two superior officers.

Avik nodded her head toward the Ensign. A subtle, effortless acknowledgment of the woman’s presence as they continued to wait. She listened to Abrams debrief the younger officer over their mission. When Abrams shifted to Avik, the Vulcan turned her eyes and gave the CoS her full attention.
The XO couldn’t help but wonder why they should beam in at a different point than the bridge. The scans showed no one onboard and indicated the computer systems were to blame. Avik suspected that Abrams suspected that something tricked the scanners. A notion that she knew could’ve been possible.
“I trust your judgement, but I am curious about why you recommend that. The bridge scans showed no one onboard and evidence leans to the computer systems running the ship.” Avik also lacked knowledge over the Klingon ship. Was she missing information that could’ve explained the recommendation?
–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr
“Caution, mostly. If we beam into the bridge directly we have less response time if something isoff. But beaming into an adjacent corridor allows us to enter through a door and take precautions we can’t otherwise. I like to know what we’re beaming into and in this case, with an old ship running on the computer alone, I don’t trust that we’re getting the whole picture. I’d rather that be proven wrong than find out we should have taken more precautions,”Cassidy said openly. She wasn’t upset the commander was looking for clarification and was happy enough to explain herself. But from this point out, on that ship, she hoped the XO would err on the side of trusting her and her instincts. They’d kept her going a long time so far and she happily relied on them.
