OOC: A bunch of people will be in this meeting shortly, so we can just bring everyone in and Tony and I can insert needed convo before that point. Faye would have sent out a meeting request for the CO,XO, COS, CE, COO and Dawson. Please all do jump in. ~Linds

bump

Serena almost bumped into the security officer but looked up from the PaDD in one hand just in time and slipped in next to him. “Uh, I don’t think I’m late,” she said. “Are we interrupting?”

Moving around Lieutenant Shock, she made her way to sit at the table, setting down the large mug and the PaDD she’d brought. Lacing her fingers together and resting her hands in her lap she waited for the rest to be seated and for things to get started.

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

Orvos gave his new XO a nod before she sat down.

The new Lieutenant Commander with the Intelligence Division colour on her uniform watched people arrive. her dark brown hair tied back in a tidy french braid. her stormy grey-green coloured eyes took in each person rather intently, her mind moving along multiple tangents at a time. “Nope, your timing is great. We have a few more people arriving, so get comfy and I’ll try to get through my debriefing quickly and make it as painless as possible.”

“Where is the fun in that?” the smooth, casual voice of a man sounded as a Bajoran wearing the colours of Engineering stepped through the door behind the group and with a practiced eye noted everyone in the room without moving his head. The mans normally deep green eyes seemed to have transformed into a more hazel hue, lighter than usual but no less intense. A quick, sharp look and nod to the Captain, and then they settled on the other three who were unfamiliar to him. Mostly unfamiliar. Calloway wore the Intel division colours so despite never having been introduced, Ros already felt familiar despite his retirement from that division of Starfleet.

Faye snorted.

Orvos also gave a nod to the man who replaced him as chief engineer not that long ago.

“Lieutenant Commander Akirel Ros,” the Bajoran introduced himself to the three with a slight bow. “I’d be your Chief Engineer. Commander, Commander, Lieutenant,” he acknowledged each of them in turn, being fairly new still and busy enough that he had not had the pleasure yet of meeting the new XO, CIO or the COS.

It was at that point that Dawson entered the room in civilian clothes. They were rather plain looking as he hoped to not attract too much attention to himself with anything out of the norm. His garb was dark and leather looking in nature. Dawson nodded to the CIO. “Ms. Calloway, a pleasure.”

Faye nodded in return. “We’ll definitely be chatting afterwards.”

He then looked to the captain with a nod. “Captain.”

Dawson kept the grin from surfacing to his face as he sat down. He offered a cordial grin for all, but deep down, he enjoyed watching Orvos internally squirm.

After Daggum arrived, Faye moved over a little to stand by the display screen, her keen grey-green eyes taking in the group. “All right, I’ll get started. For those that don’t know, I’m Faye Calloway. I was originally assigned to the Athena as a Intelligence Officer and Senior Field Agent, but with Commander Stark’s departure, things shifted and I have stepped into the role of Chief Intelligence Officer. So not the plan but we’re going with it. I had the opportunity to have a good conversation with Stark before I left my previous assignment and I was very excited to be working with him. He seemed to have confidence in my though so I can only hope to do the role justice.” Faye inhaled deeply, letting her lungs fill her torso before she continued.

“Now, I pitched my assignment here as a redux of something I had done on the Manhattan, where I just transferred from. I just got married”-just tossed a wink at Daggum-“and it made sense that I was here. While my priority has been expanded greatly, this project I have been a leader on is still very important. And we’ll get to that debriefing in just a moment, I want to be really open about a couple things. Firstly, I don’t always get social cues and my brain sometimes works really fast. It can short circuit in weird ways. That can make some interactions with people awkward. I don’t mean to be rude or difficult. If I do or say something that irks you, just tell me. Most of the time I probably won’t even have a clue it happened.” She shrugged. “And the other is that I know that Intelligence can come with a reputation. One its often gone out of its way to cultivate. But let’s be honest here, I don’t give a crap whatever people’s hangups with Intelligence are. I’m very good at what I do and I intend to be excellent here, for the safety of the ship and its crew. I’ve been building and hacking computer programs since I was a teenager. I also have an unconventional background that makes me see situations different than others might. Which is why I’m going to get ahead of the rumour mill and say yes, my parents were Maquis and so was I even as a teenager. And no I don’t care if it bothers some people. It was a long time ago a they’ll just have to get over it. But on the off chance that someone here lost a friend or loved one in those conflicts, talk to me later. I won’t apologize on everyone’s behalf, nor should I be required to, but… I get it. I lost people too.”

It was there that Faye paused and blew out a breath. “Any questions before I continue with the official debriefing?”

~Faye Calloway, CIO

“No”, Shock calmly replied. He had never really met Calloway before – only seen her around. She seemed to Shock like a Vulcan – such with social cues – yet her erratic way of beginning her briefing made her not seem very Vulcan after all. An interesting human being. He looked forward to getting to know her better.

Having answered in the negative, he wondered if others had questions and if they would ask them. He was curious about what the briefing would bring.
