Sinclair took a seat to her left and said “Well, I’ve actually had a chance to look at your file, Captain, so maybe it’d be a bit better if we start with me… you know, so ya know what you’re gettin’ into.” and he chuckled.

He tookna breath and said “My career has been… unique… to say the least. I started off in Security, that was my division out of the Academy. I was promoted after my Cadet cruise on the Challenger to Lieutenant JG and named the CoS of that ship. It 2as during my tenure there that I trained in some mediation and negotiation, and it was determined by someone somewhere that I had a talent for it and I should pursue training as a Counselor. I actually ended up getting a dual doctorate, one in Psychology with an emphasis on Counseling and one in xeno-sociology. I was then transferred to the Saracen as their Security Chief, but was then made their Counselor… and then the Chief Tactical Officer. After that particular merry-go-round, I applied to Command School.” and he laughed heartily. “I figured if I was going to be the Fleet’s token gap-stop, I may as well make myself as versatile as I can!” and he laughed again.

She laughed. “Nothing wrong with being well-rounded.” Captain. It sounded so strange to her ears, at least in being referenced to her.

“Well, I graduated a little over a week ago… and here I am.”

“Okay, then!” Dira said with a light laugh. “I mean, I had a little bit of time between completing training and this job but that was a few months, not days.”

Myqian leaned back in her chair. “I’m going to be honest with you that this is an unexpected transition. Not the least of which being my own promotion. But Captain Taylor was my dear friend and I haven’t really even processed her being elsewhere. It’s disorienting, but I’ve been focused on keeping the ship running. I suppose it means all those reports sitting around awaiting someone to do are now mine. Lucky me,” she said with a chuckle.

Royal looked at her and said “Ours. I know I’ve been here all of mere seconds, but I will insist that this is a partnership. My job is to support you and the crew, and keep the lines of communication open. If that means my first task is helping you tame the Mount Outstanding-Reports, then so be it. But I will be quite honest… if you try to do everything yourself I absolutely will glue your hands together.” and he grinned at her.

Dira chuckled, despite herself. Or maybe in spite of herself. “Well, I wasn’t planning to tackle it all on my own. I was speaking of the command reports that the new CO was going to have to do. You can have all mine,” she said with a cheeky grin. “But yes, I happy to share the workload. And we’re fortunate to have Commander Walker as Chief of Staff and Second Officer. The three of us should probably have a meeting once you get a bit settled and we can establish where we’re all at.”
