Jaieh wandered through the corridors of the USS Leviathan. As good as this assignment had been to her, she didn’t feel like she knew the crew. Her feet stopped outside the Captain’s ready room. As good a place to start as any. She pressed the chime and waited.

Iphigenia was enjoying the final piece of her green chili chicken tamale when the unexpected ring of the chime echoed through the room. In a flurry, she hurriedly devoured the last bite, her mouth still full, she somehow managed to mumble, “Come in!” Before her visitor entered, she promptly disposed of the greasy paper towels that crumbled on her desk in a discreet waste basket concealed beneath it, all while deftly reaching for her Mandarin Jarritos bottle and taking a sip.

Jaieh stepped into the office, fully aware she had interrupted something. “I hope this isn’t a bad time Captain. It occurred to me…” she paused, uncertain how to convey her thoughts. “It occurred to me that though we arrived close together, and have worked side by side, we haven’t taken the time to properly introduce ourselves.”

Iphigenia quickly composed herself, smiled at Jaieh, and gestured for her to take a seat. “Not a bad time at all, Commander Vrenek. In fact, I welcome the opportunity to get to know you better. Please, have a seat.”

Jaieh took the offered seat and did her best to relax a little.

Iphigenia leaned back comfortably in her chair, taking a moment to appraise her colleague. She was curious to learn more about her.

“Let’s rectify the lack of proper introductions then. It’s my fault we haven’t had time to become properly acquainted. I think the workload we faced when we took command was a factor. However, I’m glad you stopped by.” Iphigenia paused, taking another sip from her Mandarin Jarritos bottle before continuing. “So, what have you been up to? Anything interesting?”

“Since getting back to the Leviathan?” She had been on the Leviathan crew roughly a year before receiving a return assignment to it. “I’ve been trying to settle some things that have been left in the air far too long. Since I came to the Federation, I haven’t really spoken to my family. Tricky now to get a message back, but… the time has more than come. What about you, Captain? What keeps you busy?”
