Natalia had been on the ship for a day or so, the Sojourner was enroute to their mission posting. She had been eager to get stuck in and meet her department. As such she had arranged to meet Naomi in her Office at 08:00 hours. Natalia sat at her desk and sipped her steaming hot coffee reading the department update as she waited for Naomi to arrive.

“What did I do now?” Naomi muttered to herself.

Her eyes flicked about as she made haste down the corridor toward the XO’s office. She reflected on all her past tasks within the last month or so, but nothing screamed trouble. So she reasoned it had to be something else. As she approached the office, she took a deep breath and purged her anxiety. It wasn’t easy as she tried to calm.

She pressed the ringer and mentioned her name. Once the doors opened, she stepped in and waited for addition instruction.

-Lt. Naomi D. Locke, Sci

Natalia looked up and smiled as Naomi stepped through the doors and entered the modest office. It was simple, a desk and two chairs. She had a picture frame next to the computer, facing Natalia. The cup of coffee was steaming.
“Ah, Leftenant.” Natalia stated, opting for the British pronunciation.
“Thank you for meeting me. Please take a seat.” She stated with a gesture to the chair in front of the desk. She waited for Naomi to be seated and sipped her coffee before continuing.
“I’m sure you’ve been stewing over why I’ve called you in? I just wanted to get to know my team. I’ve only been on board the ship for a day. I was something of a last minute replacement before this new mission!” She stated with a smile.

Naomi’s eyes took in her surroundings, noting the simplicity of it. A part of her wondered how much was tied with the XO’s preference and based on other factors. She pushed it out of her mind when she took a seat. Fixing her attention on her superior, she folded her hands into her lap and listened. She blinked at the enthusiasm pouring out of the XO/CSO’s voice. This was not the type of stuff she expected from a strict, uptight officer.

“Okay, so what do you know about first?” She asked, waiting for a question.

-Lt. Naomi D. Locke, Sci

Natalia smiled of course, you need to ask questions! She thought herself feeling slightly silly, she got too caught up in things sometimes.
” Why did you go into Science? I’ve read your file but I’d like to hear about why. ” She asked and sipped her coffee, waiting for a response.
