Posted by Commander Shedda Mal’athar (Executive Officer) in side sim - Sair’s Office, Performance Review
It was that time, one of Shedda’s favorite parts of her job and one of her worst. Crew evaluations. Shedda enjoyed mentoring and helping the crew she served with reach their goals, find new ones, over come failure and celebrate success. Of course sometimes, depending on the person that might be reversed: celebrate failure and over come success.

It was also a struggle, especially with such a large crew. Shedda tried to at least be able to put a name with every face. How could she possibly evaluate anyone if she didn’t know them? That’s what DH reviews were for she knew, but it felt so impersonal.

Today was that day though, and there were approximately 600 crew members on board. It would take a few days to go through them all. Shedda was interested to see how Sair measured the success of an individual. Sair had done so much for her people, made a huge life altering progress for her entire species. She liked Sair, found her to be a wonderful counselor and, if Shedda was inclined to such things, a good friend. Shedda knew it would be just as interesting to see how their approaches melded as seeing the accomplishments and growth of each crew member. At 0900 she arrived promptly and pressed the chime on Sair’s office.

Mal’athar, XO

“Come in,” Sair called out, her melodic voice sounding soft today.

The office was much as it had been before, with its sitting area to one side and her work area on the other, and the mika tree standing guard at the door. Sair was sitting on the sofa with a pile of PADDs and the round coffee table had a platter of fruit, vegetables and other small bites they could pick at while they worked. Sair sipped from a steaming mug of something sweet smelling. In the background an energetic string instrument sounded though it was the kind of music that could easily blend away into nothing.

Gazing up, Sair smiled and tucked her lilac hair behind an ear. “Good morning, Commander, I think I have everything I need to do this with you, but I’ll admit that I’m not used to evaluations on this scale. An intern or medical student here and there, sure, but nothing so formal. Starfleet does like its reports, doesn’t it?”
