He smiled proudly and said =/\= You are looking at the proud father of a dozen assorted hot pepper plants and one rather exuberant marigold. =/\= and he laughed. =/\= And I am also proud to say that all are alive… at least for now.=/\= and he grinned. =/\=How about you? Had a chance to see where you’re going to build your next plant paradise? =/\=

She shook her head. “Not yet. There are three arboretums, but this ship has been around several years now and they are well established. They’re green spaces for the crew and civilians, which is needed, but…” Faye shrugged. “It’s not my place to walk in and start making changes when others have already put in a bunch of hard work. I can probably grow a few things here in our quarters though. We’ve got room for a couple light gardens.” That garden on the Manhattan had been an extraordinary project and not something one just replicated. She hadn’t expected to do anything like that here either, but Faye had held a certain amount of love of pride for that space she had designed and helped build and plant. She missed it more than she could express.

Cochrane looked at her, and she would know he could read as well as almost anyone aside from her husband. He smiled and said =/\= You know… you really should check your Command Course lesson plans. You haven’t opened it since you left. Just because you were galivanting all over the galaxy playing ‘newlywed’ doesn’t mean you get to permanently skip out on your training, Commander. =/\= and he gave her his trademark ‘I know something you don’t know.’ grin.

In her Command Course was a file named ‘Maintenance of Morale During Extended Tours’. It was blank, but had a file designed to be ran on a holodeck.

He wasn’t wrong, she should get back to her studies, but it just hadn’t ben a priority. “It’s kind of been the last thing on my mind, what with not only a new ship, but a promotion in position too.” Faye leaned in her eyes wide. “I run a department now. It’s weird. I’m no longer the scary person hiding out in my lab. Now I’m the scary person stalking the ship with people to help her out.” She smirked. “But I’ll get around to it soon, promise.”

=/\= Get to it today, Faye. That’s an order. =/\= he said with a grin. =/\= They need to see that you are still invested even with all the changes. I mean… that’s ninety percent of the job. Doing the mundane in the face of the overwhelming. =/\= and he chuckled.

Faye hadn’t thought much about the near future other than her getting to the Athena with Dag. She frowned slightly. “What happens after I’m done all the modules? I know there are the exams, but do I do them here?”

~Faye Calloway, CIO

Alex nodded and said =/\= Your first exams you will do from there, yes. Those will cover protocols, command systems, logistics (no, you can’t have Daggum do that part for you), and leadership theory. Once you pass those, you will do three comm-based oral boards where some Commanders, Captains, and Admirals will ask you rapid fire questions and try to trip you up and doubt yourself. Once you get past those, then you will be called to Starbase One for your in-person oral board. That will be in front of an Admiralty Board. Who is there varies, just have to be Admirals or above. The Command Admiral of Star Fleet was at mine. Yeah… no pressure there. =/\= and he laughed.
