Julien rang the chime to Calvin’s office with a smile, knowing that it would confuse Calvin to get an unsheduled visit from Julien that way, and not in Julien’s ready room.

  • Julien King, CO

“Come,” Came the gruff reply from the dour first officer. Although part of him was curious, people rarely chose to visit the first officer without being invited. He mumbled to himself, “it not good news, nobody every come to your office with cake and says happy birthday.”

When Julien entered, Marius rose from his chair, “Captain.” He started, that was his less formal address… Sir, of course, was the more formal and most was Captain Sir. “Who am I flogging for disobedience… not myself… again.”

XO

Julien grinned and shook his head. Then he thought of all the history he had with this mountain of a man, the only one who could beat even the cybernetically enhanced part of himself. He remembered their sparring session in the holodeck and almost had to smile again.

“Calvin, brace yourself, I have to do something official first before we can be at ease again.” he said and straightened up.

“Lt. Cmdr. Marius, I have to inform you that I have resigned from active duty, therefore you are as of now the acting Captain of the USS Genesis. Computer, transfer command codes to Lt. Cmdr. Marius, authorization King-gamma-bravo-x.”

Calvin just looked at him blankly for a moment, the change was so unexpected, he was about to make a joke about being promoted to commander… this was completely out of left field for him.

There was a beep and the computer confirmed the transfer of command.

Julien sighed deeply. “I have to Calvin. I simply can’t be galavating through the galaxy while La’kia and my unborn daughter might die in childbirth on Earth because I wasn’t there to lead the medical procedure.”

Family, Calvin could respect that. “You have to do what you have to do sir.” The confused look faded as he understood the importance of the situation.

he looked up at Calvin again with sad mismatched green eyes. “I’d like to say that becoming a father has been a mistake, but I can’t. “

  • Julien King, CO

OOC: TImeline: this simply happens when the time is right and there is a new incoming CO. It may take some time and until then I’ll stick around and play this out IC and help move the sim along, but it would be great if you could take more of a lead in it, so there’s no disruption to the ship and posting. Thank you dear.

OOC: I’ll pick it up a notch.

“No Sir, Family is never a mistake.” He bobbed his head. “It can be inconvenient, but its always worth it. Take it from me, Julien, I’d give anything to have my family around to make me leave a job I love. ” A decision he was more than willing to make when him and Sage got around to it.

Marius XO

Julien had to smile at that. “Isn’t it ironic? I know it’s the right thing to do, but I’d swap with you if I could.” he said and spread his arms. “This is my home, this is my family, and I have to leave it.” he sighed, looking beaten.

“You might leave home, but its always there when you want to come back. That’s why its called a home, not a house.”

Then he looked up again and pulled something small out of his pocket, looking up at Calvin again. “You’ll take good care of her, won’t you?” he said. It was a little velvet box.

“Best I can, I’ll keep the fires burning until you come back.” Marius
