Ryder stood nervously waiting inside the main shuttle hanger as he watched the shuttle Dasher descend into bay Delta-Six. His reason for being in her, to meet and greet the USS Leviathans new commanding officer Captain Cobb. Having done his research the trill XO knew he had his work cut out from the start but with his previous four hosts experience and his own Trillian nature he hoped that together they would become a functional team. Nervously he breathed into his hand to check his breath, the smell of Yridian ale sticking to him even after having washed his mouth out several times with some Klingon Mouthwash which stung so much his lips had gone numb.

During the time his thoughts had gone on long enough the shuttle had landed and the door began to open with a psst of pressurized air as it escaped the previously sealed door.
