Cochrane had finally completed what he hoped were all the outstanding and priority needs he had in front of him since assuming command. And that meant the finally got to tick off the first item on his ‘To Do’ list that he had made on the trip to the ship… meet with the XO.

Activating the comms, he said =/\= Commander Creed. When you have a moment, would you please meet me in the Ready Room? Thank you. =/\=

He then went to the replicator and ordered a pot of hot black coffee and two mugs. He sat them on his desk, took a seat, and began reviewing the departmental reports as he waited for the XO to arrive.
