He was technically the person she was to report to, so it was not only important for her to get an accurate sense of who “Jack” Creer was, but also an idea how receptive he would be to her.

She was a mission specialist and despite there being people on the ship with data skills, there wasn’t anyone who could or would do what she did. Add two months of studying spec specs, researching the Delta Quadrant and reviewing any relevant files, and Faye felt she had a good grasp of her starting point. But would he? Would he be the kind to get overly involved? Or would he be the kind to sit back and let things happen? This meeting would answer those questions and others.

Tightening the elastic that held her teal hair, Faye drew in a slow breath and pressed the chime.
