Ang stepped into engineering and nodded with a smile to several folks in there. Moving to her office, which had a doorway but no door, and a huge picture window that looked into Engineering. She settled into her chair and pulled up the duty roster for the coming month. A smile lit her face as she saw the newest Cadet on the team.

She made sure her tunic was pulled straight and her hair wasn’t ridiculously messy as she started work on the rotations and down times chart for the next few weeks. With any luck at all, the young man would be on time this morning and be ready to work.

Joseph had been standing in Engineering when Ang walked in, looking over another cadet’s shoulder and at a diagnostics panel that showed the outline of the Endeavor. He swallowed when he saw Ang walk in, then pulled and straightened his grey cadet shirt. Surely meeting your new department head was stressful enough on it’s own, but a half Klingon? Even half Klingons weren’t known to be the most casual and easy going.

He took a deep breath before approaching the office doorway and hoped for the best. “Cadet Lovell, reporting for duty, ma’am.” he said, standing straighter than normal and crossing his hands behind his back.

Cadet Joseph Lovell, Engineering

Clean uniform…
On time…
Looking like he’s ready to go…

Ang had noticed Lovell when she’d come in, but chosen to acknowledge him. As he entered her doorway, she managed to upturn her lips into a semblance of a smile. “Come on in, Cadet. Welcome to the Viking. Have a seat.”

The half Klingon would never look ‘soft and sensual’, at least to anyone looking conventional female softness, but her attempts at smiling at least didn’t make her seem menacing or unapproachable. She took a moment to glance at his record on her console again before addressing him. “So have you settled into your quarters yet? Finding your way around, ok?” While they seemed like odd questions, they were, in her mind, important ones. If the new folks were settled in, and relaxed in their surroundings, they worked and performed better.
