Sara strode through the halls, her mind racing. She had only just met Captain Allen, and now Captain Jones was taking over. Her only hope was that her first meeting with this Captain would be less hostile. The doors hissed open and the XO’s boots stuck the floor of the bridge. “Good morning Commander.” a chipper young scientist said. “Good morning Ensign. Is the Captain in his ready room?” Sara asked. “I believe so, sir.” She nodded. “Thank you.” With that, Sara walked to the ready room door and pressed the chime.

Captain Jones sat at his desk looking over the status of the ship and personell. This was not ideal. The door chimed and snapped him back to the present. “Enter”

CO

Sara entered the office, slightly on edge. Her last visit to this office had been an aggressive encounter with Captain Allen. An incident she hoped to avoid repeating. “Captain Jones, I’m Lieutenant Commander Sara Kiernan, your first officer. We met at the change of command.” She came closer to the desk. “This, I suppose, is my official reporting for duty.”

Jones stood up and stepped around the desk, extending his hand “It’s good to officially meet you Commander, would you like a cup of coffee?” Jones motioned to a chair, “Please sit”

CO

Sara shook the Captain’s hand. “A coffee sounds nice, thank you.” She said as she sat down. “I hope you’ve found the Chimera to your liking so far.”

Captain Jones moved to the table beside the replicator, “Water Hot” He then poured the water into a cylinder “I try to keep some real coffee on hand” After pressing out coffee he provided a cup to the Commander. “So Commander, Tell me about yourself, Your hobbies, the status of the ship, everything you think I should know”

CO

Sara chuckled. “I don’t know how long it’s been since I had real coffee.” She paused to think for a moment. “Well sir, I’m a science officer by training, now with a little command experience under my belt. As for hobbies, I play the viola. Have since I was seven. The ship. The Chimera sir, she’s odd. To look at her, she might seem… less than ideal. But the crew is tight. We work well enough together to make what should be problems more into quirks. Whatever you need sir, we’ll find a way.” The XO suppressed a laugh. “I guess that’s our unofficial motto. ‘We’ll find a way.’”

“Jones smirked slighty, “Well that is fitting since we are a exploration ship. Tell me about the department heads Commander, Any issues I need to be made aware of?”

CO

“There’s some new blood with us. The Marine CO isn’t new to the Marines, but she’s new to us. The CMO just got her first DH position. I’m confident she can handle it, there’s just the adjustment period. I trust them all though.” She smiled for a moment, then it faded. “If I had to give us one thing to work on, it’d be the relationship between Marines and Starfleet. Nothing ever seems to be a team effort. It’s Marines and Starfleet cooperating.”
