Dev’s brows lifted slightly, a hint of amusement threading through her expression.

“I haven’t, actually,” she admitted. “I reported in to the XO—Dr. Sinclair—when I came aboard. Figured if Captain Myqian needed me sooner, she’d make it known.”

She tilted her head, considering Cori’s words for a beat.

Cori couldn’t help but smirk. She was so curious how that would go over.”

“If you’re planning to speak with her, I could come along. Might be easier to introduce the whole picture at once, rather than piecemeal.” A faint smile ghosted at the corner of her mouth. “Besides, I’d rather our first meeting not be because she’s wondering why my name came up in your debrief.”

She stood, the motion unhurried, posture settling back into its usual, composed precision.

“Very well, Lieutenant,” she said, the faintest glimmer of humor in her eyes as she slipped into a tone of mock formality. “You have your orders—coordinate with the captain at your discretion.”

A small nod, just shy of a salute. “Dismissed.”

Dalton let off something of a cheeky salute. “Actually, I was going to go up and see her now.” She held up her index finger of one hand. “Computer, what is the location of Captain Myqian?”

“Captain Myqian is in the Ready Room.”

Cori grinned. “See? Now we just have to see if she’ll be free.” She tapped her commbadge. =/\=Dalton to Captain Myqian.=/\=

=/\=Go ahead, Lieutenant. What can I do for you?=/\= came a softer, almost lyrical voice with a soft accent that was hard to exactly place.

=/\=Captain, are you free? There’s something I and our new CSO need to discuss with you sooner rather than later.=/\=

One could almost hear the smile as Dira replied. =/\=Come on up. You’re always welcome.=/\=

=/\=On my way. Dalton out.=/\= She arched her brows even as her grin deepened. “Guess you’re coming now anyway.” She could have just not mentioned Dev, but that seemed an unnecessary game to play with the woman who watched her be transferred into her new body.

Dev’s lips curved into something halfway between resignation and amusement.

“I suppose that answers the question of ‘when I’ll meet the captain,’” she said dryly, though the faint spark in her eyes betrayed no real protest.

Cori shrugged one shoulder as she smirked.

She rose, smoothing an invisible crease from her uniform jacket before stepping around the desk. “Lead the way, Lieutenant.”

As they stepped out into the corridor, Dalton’s steps were sure and moderate in pace. She wasn’t rushing in any way, but she wasn’t about to have the captain waiting too long. “She’s fair, the captain I mean. Also, pretty tolerant given the shenanigans involved in my being here at all”-she half-frowned-“though that beign said, she hates deception, that much I know.”

OOC: I figure I would start a new thread. Gives more room for Myqian and Dev to talk later.
