The starboard bridge turbolift hissed open and a female human in her mid thirties stepped onto the quiet bridge. Luxurious dark hair was drawn back into a tight ponytail. Sharp blue eyes took in the space first tactically then socially. She moved with an easy grace virtually without sound. It wasn’t hard to imagine her as a ghost, drifting just above the decking. The woman wasn’t exactly tiny at 172 centimeters, or around five feet and eight inches tall with the build of someone who’d spent well over a decade in frequent vigorous physical training.

Making her way aft, she paused outside the Captain’s Ready Room. Pushing the call button she sent a silvery shivering chime through the office air inside. Stepping back, she waited until bidden to enter.

There was a voice that called out from inside a clearly feminine voice. When the doors opened, an Andorian woman was sitting at the desk looking over a newly replicated ocarina, inspecting it making sure it came out right. She stood at 5’10” tall. There were a few white scars on the parts of her skin which were visible. Her silver hair was styled in a not very Starfleet proper punk rocker cut. Her face was hardened and careworn, like a woman who has seen quite a lot. But there was also a strength and determination behind her gaze, even with the prosthetic eyes. This was a woman who was not to be messed with.

Her eyes were an extreme shade of green and obviously cybernetic replacement eyes. There was also an Andorian bonding ring around her right antenna. She looked up from the ocarina. “May I help you, Lieutenant,” she asked.

The door opened, seemingly of its own accord. Sitting at the ready-room desk was a female Andorian who looked like a bit of rough road. Weathered was perhaps a better description. Still young, younger than the Lieutenant herself. It wasn’t the years but the mileage. The lieutenant, in her mid-thirties, had plenty of rough times, but most didn’t show, especially in uniform.

“Captain,” she intoned in greeting. Making her way in, she presented the small, slim PADD with her transfer orders. “Lieutenant Maria Beckett reporting in, as ordered.” Her voice was velvety, relaxed and flowing, but her tone was business-like and straightforward. “If my orders are correct, I’ve been selected as your new Security Chief.” Whether it was the Captain’s selection, or from Starfleet Command, she didn’t know or ask in the time it took her to make it to the starbase. She gave an ever-so-slight nod of her head as she finished. “I’m perhaps a bit early, but it seemed best to get an early start and meet with you and Lieutenant Commander Robinson. Then familiarize myself with the senior staff, the ship, and the rest of the personnel. And of course, all the usual boarding procedures and regulations.”
