Lardel finally got the squadron moving towards completing their arrival, and after the… ‘discussion’… with the Chimera’s XO; he decided now was the time to meet with the Captain. He walked out of his offic, still in his flight suit, and told his aide “Going to see the ship’s Skipper. Unless there is blood, don’t call me till I get back.” The 2nd Lieutenant came to attention and saluted. “Sir yes sir!” and Lardel nodded and walked out of the Flight Deck area towards the turbolift.

The stocky Marine Aviator walked down the passage, nodding at some of the Battalion Marines as he passed them. “OOH-RAH BLACK SHEEP!” one yelled as he passed and Lardel let out a resounding “OOH-RAH MARINE.” in response, drawing some looks from the Fleet personnel around them. He came to the turbolift, stepped inside, and made his way to the CIC and the Captain’s Ready Room.

Stepping out onto the main command deck of the Chimera was always a moment to appreciate the sheer impressiveness of the ship. He smiled slightly and then went to the Ready Room door and pressed the chime.

“Come in,” Freja called, looking up from her desk.

Lardel entered and smiled at Andreassen while giving her a salute. “Skipper, good to see you. Lieutenant Colonel Lardel reporting, Ma’am. The 214th Fighter Attack Squadron is docked and all craft and personnel are accounted for.” He dropped the salute and then said “So how have you been, Captain?” and he stood at ease.

“Excellent,” Freja smiled, “I’ve been well, yourself?”

~Freja Andreassen~

Lardel gave her a half-smile and said “Well, I was better before your boy there decided to call me Major. In front of my Second-In-Command who just so happens to be a Major. But I think I explained myself clearly enough that he got the point. And hey, no punches thrown, so there’s that.” and he chuckled.

“I realize I should’ve perhaps given him a little primer on marines,” Freja remarked with a slight laugh, “Though I doubt my primer could’ve taught him better than your explanation. He’s still new and learning, he should hopefully take this lesson in stride. I’ll keep an eye and redirect him where necessary, though I’m sure you successfully drove home the point that we command the ship, you command the fighters. I’m still learning new things about this CO thing, but you’ll be happy to know I still subscribe to the whole ‘if you don’t tell me how to Starship captain, I won’t tell you how to run your fighters’ philosophy that worked so well last time.”
