Melissa stood outside the 1st officer’s office and knocked. She was starting some specialized training and could not be the commander of the MACO’s.

T’Leia looked up from the ship status reports she was going through and called out,”Come.” as she pressed the control that would open said doors. She wondered why someone would bother to knock when there was an indicator that could be pushed to announce a visitor’s presence. She waited while the doors whooshed open and saw the MACO Commander on the other side. “Lieutenant Colonel, what can I do for you?”

Melissa stepped into the room and came to her usual form of attention “I regret to inform you that I will need to step down as the MACO commander of the Bonneventure. I have accepted the opportunity to work on a special set of skills. I will remain aboard the ship, however I will need to focus on that.” She said looking T’Leia in the eye.

T’Leia studied the Colonel thoughtfully for a moment.”Might I ask what those skills will be?” She was surprised as she had received no notification of this upcoming training program. Given that it was probably Earth Fleet security related, that might explain it but still, she was the XO of the ship. Though it was logical to assume that some at Earth Fleet were not so sanguine about having a Vulcan in command level on an human ship.
