Having finished with his psych eval, Yoshida made his way to the Security office to find the new Chief of Security. Yoshida was glad that they were able to fill the position before the mission, as he would have enough on his plate without having to run security as well. He looked forward to meeting someone as new to the ship as he was. Having been a CoS on his last ship, Yoshida felt they had much to talk about.

He stopped at the Security Office and rang the door chime and waited for a response.

Ollie was sorting through personnel and armory reports at his desk, attempting to familiarize himself with this department, when he heard the unexpected chime. He glanced up and felt the presence of the XO outside and then slowly looked around at the security office. Things were in a little bit of disarray since there had been some time between the departure of the previous COS and Ollie’s arrival.

He gave a resigned sigh at the thought of how this first impression was going to go and then stood up, “Come in, sir.”

The door swished open and Yoshida stepped in. He looked around at the disarray of papers and raised a disapproving eyebrow. “Still getting settled?” He asked standing next to the chair on the opposite side of the desk. “It’s understandable,” He said, “You’re newer to the ship than even I am. I am merely disappointed in how your predecessor kept his post. I myself was Chief of Security on my last vessel and was nearly placed into that position again.” His eyes refocused onto the Lieutenant. “Outside of my psych eval and physical, you are the first department head I am visiting with today. My goal is to help establish how you look to run your department and How I can assist you in that endeavor.”

Ollie blushed slightly at the pointed comment on the state of the office.

“Yes sir,” he said with an uncomfortable chuckle, “I came directly here after my check-ins and haven’t had a chance to get things squared away. I’m honestly not sure if it was left this way by my predecessor or if the lack of a chief has led to a breakdown of discipline. Either way, you have my word that this is not how I will be keeping things.”

He pondered the XO’s comments on helping to make running the department easier. This was literally his first day on the job as a security chief and, while he had passed all of the tests to become the chief, it was nice to know that the XO had held this position in the past and could be a good resource.

“Sir, I think I don’t really know what I need yet. The next thing on my list was to inventory our equipment and make sure it is all in working order and then run a few drills with the staff to make sure we are all up to the level we should be. Once I’ve completed that I may have some requests for you. I suppose it would come down to that: I know resources can be scarce but I want to be sure we prioritize being able to protect the ship and its crew from threats,” he paused for a moment and then continued with a smirk “And I promise that I will keep my requests focused on needs and not ‘toys’… mostly.”
