Security Deck
USS Atlantis SD: 2398
Ensign Samuel A. McIntyre

Sam after exiting the office of the Ships Counselor made his way back to the elevator and took it to the security deck. Upon arrival, he exited the elevator and made his way down the long hallway passing other security personnel along the way. Until he reached the office door marked Chef of Security, pushed the button to notify COS, and waited until he was summoned.

Ensign Samuel A. McIntyre

The door was situated 8n a large room containing the Security Operations station. The duty officer, a Tellarite Lieutenant, looked up and grunted. “Hey kid, the boss is on a Command call. In two minutes he’ll be free. You’re the new guy, right?”

Lt. Kradek, Security Duty Officer

Sam looked at the Tellarite Lieutenant and stood at attention and saluted the Lieutenant. ” Sir yes sir and understood lieutenant.”

The Tellerite’s eyes narrowed and he leaned forward. “Ok, you ** gotta stop that. Chief will hang your skin on his office door if you start barking garbage like that around him. This isn’t some Andorian Defense Force cadre, kid. It’s Star Fleet. We don’t do that-” and he made a more than a rude approximation of a salute with a single digit extended, “- around here. Meet the Chief, come to attention surely. But you throw up a salute?! Man, he’ll rip your arm off and feed it to ya.”

It was at that moment that the door slid open and avoid e like crashing boulders boomed out “It’s open.” Lt. Kradek grinned and said “Good luck.” and jerked a thumb at the door.

At first glance, it was similar and different from any other office. The floor wasn’t carpeted, instead being a textured, non-slip surface like that found in Engineering. Some shelves around the room with their lighting with various things scattered across them… a cracked Jem’Hadar helmet… a well-used bat’leth… and a piece of warped and blackened metal. Mementos of the Chief’s past probably. Then the standard small meeting area nearest the door. But as one’s view moved further into the room and reached the desk at the back, things changed. The desk was at least half again as big as a normal one. Which was odd, because the figure seated behind it looked normal in comparison. It took most people a second or two to register that the figure was not, indeed, normal. He was true massive.
As the Ensign entered, the figure stood up. And when he finished standing, he was noticeably over seven feet in height. Yes, he was an Orion… but he was muscular even for that species. His arms were most likely as big around as most individual’s waists, and his chest and shoulders were as broad as some station consoles. He looked at McIntyre as he came in, emerald eyes flashing as he said “You McIntyre? Commander Mardusk. Been expecting you. Take a seat.” he reached across the desk to offer him his hand in greeting.

Sam shook the Commander’s hand after the commander’s hand extended his to Sam, noticing the difference in both men’s stature yes Sam was tall and athletic and muscular for his species but spoke at the Commander’s question” Yes sir Commander I am.” Sam sat across from his department head confidently.

Mardusk sat down, the chair letting out a protest, and he interlaced his fingers and set his hands on the desk. “Welcome aboard. So tell me about yourself, Ensign. And don’t waste time reciting your personnel record, ok? I’ve read it. Tell me what’s not in there.”

Mardusk, CoS

Sam looked at his department head with the conference of someone who had a military upbringing and one who had been around Starfleet.” My record speaks for itself sir as for what’s not in it at some point in my career sir I would like to command a ship of my own someday.

Mardusk looked at him for a minute without speaking. He then said “So I tell ya not to talk about your record, and the first words outta your mouth are about your record… I hope you are better listening to people during work.” and he stood up and went to the replicator. “Want anything?” he asked over shoulder.

Sitting back down, he took a drink of his water and then said “So why the switch from the Marines to Star Fleet? You could still be in Command in the Marines. So… why the change?”
