After getting properly acclimated with his surrounding Magnus made his way to the Bridge, it was time to get the formalities out of the way and get to know his new CO. Straightening out his uniform he moved to the right and pressed the Chime to the Captain’s ready Room and put his hands behind his back.Magnus -XO
“Come,” came a bellow from behind the door. The doors seemed to be keyed to that word as they slid open when Marius called it out. Revealing the ready room, The room was had a number of boxes that carried knick knacks that would go on the walls or desks to give the room a more lived in feel, but for now it was mostly sparse. Marius toiled about hanging up one object then another until he faced the new officer.
“Commander, welcome aboard. It didn’t take star-fleet too long to find me a baby-sitter.” He looked at the tall man, “In fact, they would have had to send you on your way before they told me about receiving command for you to get here so quickly. What do you think about that?”
Marius CO
Magnus walked in an took a moment to look around the room. He hadn’t expected him to have moved in quickly so it wasn’t really a big surprise. He put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly at the Captains question, he had a very fair point. “I think Command had already made its decision to give you Command of the Genesis long before informing anyone, the next step is simply to give you a qualified First Officer” His posture changed slightly, more rigid “I’m not here to babysit you, despite what Command might have planned. I Execute the orders of my Commanding Officer.”
XO
“There are worse answers that that.” Marius seemed satisfied with the response. He walked over and reached out to shake Magnus’ hand.
Magnus shook the man’s hand. That was the grip of a soldier, something he hadn’t felt since the Samurai.
“Out there I’m the Captain, I expect you to do nothing to call that into question.” He paused for effect. “In here, in private, you are my partner. I am going to need support.. and while I hope it will never will happen, I would be a fool to believe I’ll never be wrong. I need you to tell me when I am. Are you up to that?”
Marius CO
“Yes, sir.” He answered plainly. He was curious as to what sort of captain Marius would make. having only glimpsed at his file. He was curious about how their relationship would form “You can count on me for that.”
XO
“First thing first, I need an honest, no bull-shirt appraisal of my, our department chiefs and their departments. You have no axe to grind and no favorites… at least not yet so you will be the most objective.” He paused.
“Secondly, Captain King rarely looped me in on promotion decisions until he already had his mind made up. So I could agree or talk him out of it not as easy as it sounds..” He shook his head. “That’s not going to work for me for a number of reasons. So going forward all promotion recommendations go through you, then cleared through me, with two exceptions… yours, for obvious reasons and the CMOs, again you will recommend. The second officer will concur and then it will cross my desk.”
