Ensign MJ Shau was reviewing Chimera’s personnel records of gains and losses… personnel transferring on and off the ship… when a name caught his attention. Everett Shaw.

While Shaw and Shau weren’t pronounced exactly the same, the distinction was subtle enough that only native Risians were generally capable of noticing it.

The new Engineering Officer was a recent graduate from the Academy and, since no red flags appeared in his record, the Security Officer moved on without giving it a second thought.

A few days later, MJ saw the new Ensign in the Crew Lounge, eating alone and reviewing some information on a PADD. Ensign Shau smiled… he had recently gone though a similar adjustment period, working hard to learn everything he could about the ship so he could do his job effectively.

Being part of a crew was more than just work putting your head down and getting to work though, so MJ decided to go introduce himself.

A fellow Ensign in Operations Gold approached Everett’s table. He was about the same height as Everett, but had a muscular build, short curly hair, and a stubbly beard. The man had a tan complexion and the traditional Risian marking on his forehead.

“Everett Shaw, right?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. “I’m MJ Shau. Mind if I join you?”

OOC: Since you’re doing all your formal check ins, I figured I’d extend the opportunity for some less formal Interation with a fellow Ensign.

Welcome aboard!
