Willow recognised the moment when the decompression happened. She smiled quietly to herself. “Gold stars all round…raise for the educator, a bell or something for the dentist to stop him creeping about…maybe a fruit basket for Commander Reeze since we stole his wife back to active duty. And I think Rico would like some more armaments. Brad seems lonely, can we sign him up for that Ferengi dating PaDD APP, what’s it called. The Ferengi Intimacy Network Detector thingy....TFINDER ? And I still want Jarvis in the brig.”

Amari’s giggles increased with each comment, but she stopped suddenly at the mention of Doctor Jarvis. She was surprised it hadn’t come up already, really. She wondered what the captain’s response would be when she found at that her very XO was a fan of doctor Jarvis. “What he did was, terribly wrong,” she began slowly, “but one cannot deny that he is a brilliant surgeon. One could argue that Dr. Jarvis is the best cardio thoracic surgeon in this sector, if not the quadrant.” Though you couldn’t tell it from the blood rushing to her face from hanging upside down, Amari blushed slightly.

Willow looked sideways at Amari as if trying to figure her out. A thousand responses…none of them really useful in the end. “I know…I just don’t relish the fact that he did what he did and now he’s here. Genetic experiments and alterations do not come easily excused.” It was the typical starfleet response. Yet something about her expression became guarded. “Besides I think between him and Doctor Marshall poor Brad is going to look for early retirement.” and she changed the subject.

Amari realized her remark had effected the captain as she watched a hit of a wall being put up. She immediately regretted telling her about the… what? Respect? Infatuation?… fascination, she had with Dr. Jarvis. She let her head loll to one side to look at Willow directly. “Captain, please don’t misunderstand me. I don’t condone his actions. As a matter of fact, I find them deplorable. But he has served his time. He deserves a new start. I think the Ogawa is lucky to have his fresh start begin here.”

“So shall we start department by department or alphabetically by crew member?” She asked as she made no motion of moving. The call on the desk timed out with a chime which she ignored.

So the subject had been change. Amari hoped she hadn’t damaged the friendship that had been blossoming between the pair. She sat up and retrieved a PaDD. “Let’s start with Lt. Vanhall and the security department.”

Willow remained gazing at the ceiling but took the other PaDD and turned it upside down now flicking through as she spoke. “I’ve heard good things from around the ship about Lt. Vanhall. He seems to have stopped some sort of ruckus with a mop I’m told and he dealt with the cacti rather well.” She rubbed her forehead offhandedly, “He has asked for some more armaments, we should probably look into that for him. And I think it’s been a while since he was last promoted. Add a note to his file that he should be up for rank review soon.” She clicked the next file. “Lieutenant Haven as well…certainly a commendation for such a small team working so well…* again flicked through the file through a small group of NEs . “Think that’s it. Oh and that new one what’s her name? One to watch apparently.”

“Lieutenant Junior Grade Duvosa. Yes, I’m looking forward to meeting her.” Amari clicked the PaDD making the requested notes. “I’ll put in a requisition for supplemental armaments. We can have them waiting for us at the next starbase.” Amari was somewhat surprised that the captain seemed to only have second hand knowledge of the security chief. Though, she supposed, a certain amount of distance was required when you were a CO.

“Shall we move on to engineering?” she asked.

Willow nodded. “I feel like we need snacks for this.” She confided as she flicked through her own upside down PaDD “Mister Pierce has proven himself to be a particularly good section head since his promotion to the post. His reports are in order and very thorough…if he keeps this up he’s going to make full Lieutenant pretty quickly. I don’t however like NE Jenkins…her work is sloppy and her attitude isn’t particularly great either.” She thumbed the PaDD “I can see several notes on her file for similar. Maybe the ogawa isn’t right for her.”

“I tend to allow the department heads the room to coach their own staff members. She is sloppy, but I don’t won’t to but in unless it becomes a real problem. I’ll keep my eye on her and follow up with Pierce.” She said all this as she made her way to the replicator. Snacks sounded like a good idea indeed.

=/\=Tekka-makizushi and kappa-makizushi with wasabi and gari shoga and two sets of chop sticks,=/\= it was obvious she knew her way around a replicator. “Is sushi okay? I don’t get to eat it as often as I would like. Andrew lived on the coast and introduced me to sushi.”

She returned with the tray and sat on the floor in front of the sofa, placing the food between herself and the captin’s upside down head.

“It looks like Engineering could do with a couple of more officers as well,” she said picking up a pair of chopsticks and dipping one of the bite sized rolls into the wasabi before popping it into her mouth whole.
