William blinked twice at the Captain’s comment, he had been wondering why he’d been given command so often as of late and the thought of the promotion exam hadn’t crossed his mind. His career advancement rarely did as when he first joined Starfleet he wasn’t even a commissioned officer.
Glen was serious when he wondered about the knowledge that Kord must have accumulated after 1000 years, However, if he was to discover it, then he would need to prise it out of him. His First Officer rarely said more than a few words to him.
“Any further questions?” the Captain asked Inola, William, Hal and Lucas. “If not, then I’d better go get a change of clothing for the landing party too.”
After replied to any questions Captain Glen, followed Kord from the Bridge. He would go to his Quarters and then to the Transporter Room.
Inola saluted with a grin, barely containing her excitement.
William stood up and moved up to the central chair, sighing as he looked at the viewscreen. Once more unto the fray He thought to himself and sat down.
Looking into the view screen William would find themselves in orbit safe and sound, not much else for the moment to do but wait out the meeting to come.
William crossed his legs and got comfortable, this was what he disliked about having the Conn, there was little to actually physically do. On his station, he could run diagnostics and look at sensor readouts for hours on end without getting bored and that was when they had nothing to do, he still hadn’t figured out what one does in the center chair to pass the times between the occasional reports.
William had one of the crewmen bring him a cup of tea as he listened in on the away team. It seems they had a transporter malfunction. His first thought was that he was glad not to have used that infernal device to transport down with them.
Dariusz Pokorski locked them into a stable orbit, he looked up from Navigation to the empty seat at the console next to him at the Helm. “I guess Cadet Lucas Coleman won’t be coming back, Sir! It’s a good job that I didn’t have anywhere to go.”
William looked at the navigator, for a moment he considered admonishing the young crewman “Let’s make sure that the transporters are fully functioning for when the away team returns. We can’t have mistakes like this especially during first contact with a new species”.

“Aye, Sir!” replied Pokorski, “I’ll tell the Transporter Chief. Chief BJ Hunnicutt is new to the Merrimack. It will be traumatic for him . I’ll check that he’s getting the
confidential counselling service that Dr Cross organised before she left us, and that the chain of care is also being applied to other staff involved.”
