Following the tour from the new XO’s sister, Brad prepared to (finally) officially report for duty.

Making his way to the door of the Captain’s office, he straightened his uniform, put a smile on his face and ran one hand through his hair while the other rang the chime.

Behind him a woman in command red arrived, a stack of padds in one hand and a mug of something steaming that smelled of fruit in the other. She looked Brad up and down from foot to head and raised her eyebrows. “Doctor Walker i presume?” She smiled.

Brad didn’t jump, but he did start as he spun around, before noticing the four pips on the woman’s neck.

“Yes, Captain?” he replied. “I didn’t know you weren’t in…”

A smile tugged the corners of her mouth. “The lack of answer to the chime should have been a good hint.” She said her tone teasing and the professional manner dropping ever slightly. “Head of diagnostics but cant even workout the purpose of a doorbell honestly.” She was grinning now.

“Hey!” Brad said, adopting an affronted expression. “It just sits there, no response to diagnose from.”

She laughed.

He smiled back. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

Balancing her PaDDs and coffee Willow stepped closer and gave Brad a one armed hug. “I’m so glad you could come. It has..its good to see you. Come in.” She moved to the door and stepped inside.

Brad followed and let the door slide shut behind them.

“You’re not gonna make me salute you, are you?” he asked with a smile on his face as he took in the decor.

Dropping her PaDDs on her desk she sipped her coffee and waved her free hand, her expression amused. “Dont be stupid. Of course not.”

The room was small and tidy, a bonsai tree, some books and holo frames alongside the fish tank were the main decorative changes that showed the room as occupied.

She waved at him to sit. “Can i get you a drink? How was the trip? Im suprised you managed to catch us up. Though maybe not too surprised. We did need to stop…plasma.eating gastropods…dont ask. I also hear the Hippocrates has a helmsman who thinks speed is a personal challenge.”

“And perhaps an engineer who has made a couple tweaks to their drive systems. We had a stop as well, pick up another new staff member whose shuttle had a breakdown. Honestly, we were supposed to beat you here by a couple of days, give me a chance to get a first-hand look at the situation planetside. I’ll take a sparkling water, dash of lemon, dash of lime,” Brad said, lounging in a seat opposite of WIllow.

“Is that the same tree you used to have in your office in San Fran?” he asked, indicating the bonsai.
