Moving to stand at ease, she reached out and shook his hand with a firm grasp. “Nothing for me, no. And yeah, it seems despite over two months of travel and my being prepared for this assignment, Command didn’t feel it prudent to send my transfer orders very far ahead of me.” She shrugged. “Oh well. I can lug my bag around for a few hours. It won’t kill me.” He was being informal but for the moment Faye was going to proceed with caution and not make presumptions.

The return handshake was firm but yielding, nothing needed to prove he was a man or stronger, or anything else was included. At the comment about her gear Balian merely nodded, he approved actually. It was proactivity that made a good officer.

“I must say, that despite the travel distance involved, your transfer was rather expeditious. That sometimes can make an old officer a bit nervous. Your record speaks for itself for the most part. Have a seat, “Balian stated as he moved back around the desk, it was working hours after all. “Here are my expectations plain and simple. “You are here to work with my Computers, and aid where as needed in the Ships missions. That is what I expect you to do. You are Lieutenant Faye Calloway, as far as I am concerned you started today, and anything before today is not relevant, unless it becomes relevant, your tales are yours to tell, as are mine.”

Faye sat and set her bag beside her and simply gazed at him, her stormy grey-green eyes assessing critically. “An appreciated outlook, Captain, though I will say that my experience has often been that people believe their words when they say them but reality proves to be far different. Relevance is, of course, relative. There can be a grey area when one person thinks something is relevant that the other does not. While I personally am comfortable with grey areas, not everyone is and I prefer to not get myself into trouble so soon after I got here.”

Balian shook his head. He was trying to let her know that he was not concerned about her past, and immediately it felt she was being defensive about his stance. Being a fairly open minded and copacetic being by and large made it easier for Balian to let the irritation at her response actually just roll off his back. So his new Data Specialist was prickly, he filed that tid bit away for later. Balian took a sip of the Broth that he had replicated. Though he had caught up nutrient-wise, he now found he liked the broth as an afternoon respite, it was a nice change from the tea, and coffee and other beverages. Balian quirked an eyebrow, and looked down at the PaDD infront of him for just a moment.

“Very well Lieutenant. Based on what I have seen of the Setup, you will be working between Science, Lieutenant Loss is the Chief over there and Operations, Which is Lieutenant Hammor, and because of that I you have slated to report to the Executive Officer, Have you met Commander Creed as of yet?”

“Not yet. He’s my next stop, actually. I also figured I should also introduce myself to the Chief Engineer seeing as I’ll be messing about in the systems. I don’t expect to create issues for them, but in case something does happens, I don’t want anyone to be surprised” Faye sat forward on her seat and gazed at him with a hint of excitement. “I know what I’m doing isn’t worth most people’s attention, but my hope is to keep it that way because I’ve not trashed nearby relays.” She was trying to say it with a straight face, but the hint of a smirk manage to creep through into her lips.
