Posted by Ensign Shon Baht (Medical Officer) in Check-in with the XO (Tag Commander Creed)
Ensign Baht hesitated before stating “deck two” in the turbolift. As it ascended, the bolian man ran a hand along his bald blue head, tracing his cartilage ridge with his palm. Shon had never been on a Manhattan-class ship before, and he was no engineer, so when the ship’s specs had not been more helpful with identifying the location of Commander Creed’s office, he had decided that the XO’s quarters would be the best place to start his search. Shon’s extroverted nature would have normally encouraged him to simply ask another crew member, but he had worried about assumptions that might be made about why he was seeking the executive officer’s council so soon after boarding.

“Celina, we are not going to be going on any more adventures with any of them. I love your brothers but when we say yes to them they get crazy ideas. I can’t keep bailing your family out just cause we are getting married. So no… we are not going to hunting for a great white pyrness cat shark so Cesar can propose to his girlfriend with it… I mean… is that even a real animal?” Jack asked as he leaned back in his chair as he looked over at Celina, spread out on the couch as he was certain she wasn’t even listening at this moment.

Shon poked his head out of the turbolift and nervously glanced from one end of the curved corridor to the other, relieved when he saw no one was passing by. Walking quickly and feeling quite out of place, Ensign Baht made his way down the hallway searching for a room labeled as the XO’s office. If he found it, he’d straighten his shirt before pressing the call button. If not, he’d continue his search until he found the XO’s quarters and complete the process. And if the XO was nowhere to be found on this floor, Ensign Baht would shyly head to the bridge.

“Hold that thought… just… sit.” Jack said as he got up from the chair before looking back at for a second. “And for God sake sit up, lord you look like this is a pleasure lounge.” he shouted at her as he hit the panel on his door to open and see who was waiting for him.

Creed, XO
