Jen was looking through the crew lists .. right after reports of damages that were repaired from their last mission. They had been substantial in no small way and the corps of engineers had had a field day with it. While not a record by any standard they were up there in their estimations of how badly the ship had been ‘broken’. A name popped up. CTO. And said Zachary Hartley had been aboard for a while now. Had he been that busy? There were others, the standard crew leaving and others coming on but the title sparked his interest and (in part, annoyance) at not having seen him yet. Something that should have been corrected some time back.

=^= Jen to Commander Hartley. At your convenience please join me on the bridge in the ready room =^=

Zach had been, embarrassingly, fighting with the largest of his travel trunks… the one with his extra uniforms, delaying his normal check-ins and had just stepped out of the shower when the call came in. Tapping the Commbadge on the table by the bed.

=A= Hartley here. Apologies for the delay, there in five. Hartley clear. =A=

Quickly drying his hair and body, Zach quickly dressed and after a final check in the mirror, hurried out to the Bridge.

At just shy of five minutes, Zach Hartley stepped off the lift and moments later hit the chime on the Ready Room door and waited.

Hartley, CTO

OOC: Sorry for the delay. Monster busy past week just ate me alive! Finally returning to normal busy! LOL
OOC: I resemble that comment!

The door slid open for Zach. He would see the Andorian first officer rising from the table and moving around to approach him. To Zach he may appear less a Fleet officer but something more .. weathered. “Commander Hartley. Pleased to meet you. Come in. Help yourself to the replicator and take a seat.” He offered to shake hands; his was firm but of a sort who wasn’t that used to doing it.

Zach would note Jen took a neutral seat about the table, not moving to the usual ‘power’ seat that the leads tended to take in meetings. Before him he had a mug and a PaDD lay flat on the table. “I just wanted to get to know you. What are your specialties and if you have had a chance to put them into practice.” He paused to let Zach take a seat. “For myself I was moved into Starfleet from being a Fleet Marine Colonel. So I’m still a soldier at heart. I’m good at moving pieces and a fight but beyond a surface knowledge of the characters who may be hostile I am not a subject matter expert.”

OOC: Bump .. gene
