When his relief arrived in CIC, Ensign Shau conducted a thurough duty turnover, including the various approaches to the Scallax System he’d helped Derek and Skye devise.

Command might not use them if they adopted a more diplomatic approach, but MJ felt they had come up with and presented a viable option for entering the system.

He made his way down to the Crew Lounge to grab a meal and stew in his thoughts. The holo training that morning had been valuable… even if his programming skills were lacking and the sim started to break down. I’ll have to see if any if the other security officers have experience with holoprograms.

While he planned to eat alone, he noted Ensign Shepherd had arrived in the lounge shortly before he had. He’d never really worked with her before today, but she had been a big help. I’ve been onboard for a bit now… I suppose I need to start getting to know people outside of Security.

“Hey Skye,” He said simply as he approached her in the line. There was plenty of walk in tables available, but it took a moment to be seated in the peak hours right after shift turnover. “Mind if I join you? This mission is weighing on my mind and it’d be nice to have a distraction from it for a bit.”

OOC: Others are welcome… I tagged Sam because I see he had a post in the lounge as well… but im not sure if he was looking to socialize.
