=/\= You wouldn’t be impeding my free time, Ensign. Please stop by. =/\= She said in reply.

Drudoc Andone CO

=^= Of course Commodore, I will be with you shortly. =^=

Once again the LCARs maps came in handy as Sivas made his way to the COs quarters.

As he reached the door he gently tugged at his uniform and straighten any creases and rings the bell.

After a moment a reply from within called, =/\= Enter! =/\= The feminine voice said.

Entering into the CO’s quarters Sivas might be struck by the size of it. Like all Mythology class explorers all the rooms from the CO down to the lowest non-com had much larger and plush quarters then normal. The reasoning being that a ship out for 10+ or more years at a time on a mission with no normal contact with Starfleet needed much higher crew comforts then normal, in this case harking back more to the plush comforts of the 2350s and 60s with ships like the Galaxy class and their like before such comforts were mostly removed due to the events in the 2370s with the Dominion war and the like. But since there had not been a lot of major conflicts of that sort since through the 2380s and now into the late 2390s such more desired comforts were coming back to the forefront in the Fleet. In this case the quarters from what he could see was larger or about the size like those one might have for a starbase commanding officer.

To his left as he entered was an array of shelves and display cases containing a variety of personal effects. Some notable examples that stood out was a beautifully hand crafted wooden composite longbow with an engraved weave of leaves, vines and such. Another was a strange large alien ballistic firing pistol with what seemed a secondary barrel for a small flame throwing device, off hand it was unlike anything likely Sivas had ever seen or heard of before. One last notable call out was a very ancient looking wooden handled sickle shaped weapon or tool. On the curved blade a hand carved line wove from front to back. Other things to note were various family pictures of the Romulan Commodore either alone, with a human man in his mid 30s, or with one or both also present with a human-romulan hybrid girl of between 2-5 years of age. Later pictures minus the human male of the daughter being 6-14 years of age either just were the girl or with both in different places. Above the last picture of all three of the family smiling at the camera on a forested planet vista and looking quite happy was draped a pair of metal bands engraved in Romulan and English which read, ‘Forever Among The Stars’. Right above that was a memorial holoprojector of the man labeled ‘Lieutenant Commander Bradley Mitchell - KIA 2389 - Beloved By Wife & Daughter’.

To the right of the door was a small Romulan shrine to their older faith and beliefs of Elements and a Destined Path To the Stars. Just beyond that was a small kitchenette and table. Rounding around the corner was a work station and living area with plush couch and plush chair and an entertainment screen. To the far left corner was a view port with a pair of shelves where upon sat the 14 year old human-romulan hybrid daughter of the Commodore it seemed, who seemed to be working on a PADD on a small window couch. Nearby too was a side door which normally led to the CO’s storage room but it seems based on the cracked door view that Andone had converted it and a good portion of the hot tube area of the quarters into a private room for her daughter. The CO’s room door was next to it but closed.

No sooner had he spied that then it opened revealing the late 150s year old Romulan woman in question, currently wearing a normal off duty crew jumper. “..Ah Ensign Sivas, hello. Please come in, make yourself comfortable if you wish or get yourself anything from the replicator.” She said gesturing to both. “..By the window there is my daughter Tel’eck. Say hello Tel’eck.” She prompted.

With an idle wave only briefly glancing up from the PADD, “..Hello Ensign..” She said then turned back to her PADD.

Rolling her eyes a bit Drudoc explained, “..Forgive Tel’eck she is currently engrossed in an ‘interesting’ game the younger teenagers are engrossed in currently on the ship which they cooperatively play. She’s normally more hospitable.” She said.

As he enters the room Sivas takes note of the details with quick glances. ” Thank you agreeing to see me Ma’am. My itinerary states I am to meet with the CO before commencing service on ship.” He inclines his head in respect.
“That being said, Ensign Sivas Jute reporting for duty.” He stands at his full height to attention and hands over the PaDD to the Commodore.

While Andone reads the PaDD he glances at the plague on the wall. That’s sad, he thinks a daughter should have both parents.

He smiles at the girl in the room, “Pleasure to meet you Tel’eck, I hope the book is entertaining.”

He returns himself to his new commanding officer.
