Bren knew little to nothing about his new Captain. He’d done a cursory search after he received his assignment to the Atlantis, but the fact that Aurra was the ship’s Chief Medical Officer had been his primary concern from the moment he realized that information.

So, here he was, outside a stranger’s office door palming the chime uninvited. And the stranger was the most powerful person on the ship.

“Come,” Kelly yelled out. She tended to have an open door policy but that meant if you walked in unannounced you were getting her probably hip deep in something. Reaching up with one hand, she motioned for the person to come in and come forward as she signed off several PaDD’s that were sitting in front of her.

Looking up she saw it was the new doctor. “Dr. Satis,” she smiled. “What can I do for you? Coffee,” she asked taking a sip of her own as she pushed the few PaDD’s scattered on her desk to the side.

The fact that he sensed nothing but welcome from the Captain calmed a fraction of the nerves that were firing his anxiety as he entered the Captain’s Ready Room. Had he been assigned to any other ship in the fleet this meeting would not be happening. He’d been a fool to think Aurra had approved, or even requested, his assignment aboard the Atlantic, and now here he was ready to defend his career only hours after boarding his new ship.

As Bordeaux retrieved him a mug of black coffee he pondered just what it would mean to board a shuttle off the Atlantis within 24 hours of reporting for his new assignment. It would be one more thing future commanders would question about his record.

His anger at Aurra was growing in the pit of his stomach.

“Hello, Captain. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for coming here without warning. I’ve only recently reported for duty on board the Atlantis and Dr. Talisse, ” he paused, looking down at the comfortingly warm mug cradled in his hands. “Well, she’s ordered me here to request a new assignment. She would strongly prefer I not be a member of her staff.”
