Posted Aug. 7, 2022, 7:50 p.m. by Lieutenant Commander Stephen Stous (XO) (Gavin Burkhardt)
Stephen’s previous posting on the Venture had required an initial meeting with its CO, though that was mostly at her discretion; Stephen had always assumed she wanted to meet the man who would be handling much of her ship’s sensitive data. But that meeting had been brief, and, oh, six years ago? It felt like forever. But regardless of if that past experience was yesterday or last century, this one would be exponentially more important.
Stephen had read most of Johann’s file on the ride to the ship, and found it a touch intimidating. This was a man who had seen some things, and who had commanded the Europa since Stephen’s senior year in the Academy. He had no idea what to expect from the meeting, but given that they would be working closely together and Stephen would be directly carrying out Johann’s orders and wishes, this was an important first impression to make.
With a head full of a mixture of anxiety, excitement, and anticipation, then, Stephen Stous approached his new commander’s door and, with a nod at a passing Ensign, rang the bell.
